They are fun. Plain and simple. I can escape from all my stress and enjoy hanging out and chucking dice with the handful of people who's company I really enjoy!

Selected them all except "advantage over others." I thought that one was kinda vague.

It depends on who I am playing with.I am currently involved in four games.
1) I DM in Freeport with my fiance and two of our friends who are also a couple. This game meets as often, but with them expecting a baby that's not too often. This game is played for socialization. We all went to college together and in the 2years since graduation we have gone from seeing each other every day to seeing each other every couple of months.
2) I DM a CoC game with my fiance, a local teenager and my daughter. This game is run to teach my child and the local teenager problem solving skills and to give the teenager something constructive to do on saturday nights when a lot of his friends are smoking illicit substances.
3) I play in a Bluffside game my fiance DMs just for me. This I play because it gives us something to stucture our time around. In a four hour session we play for maybe an hour, it just fills in the lulls in conversation.
4) My fiance DMs a game in her homebrew setting for me, our kid and the local teenager. This game switches off with the CoC game and has the same motivations.

A little of everything, but mostly for the mental exercise. I enjoy the social aspects, and the thrill when I get that crit at the dramatically appropriate moment, but its the problem-solving that I get from RPGs that I don't get from watching football with friends, or play computer games.
