I think the world would be a lot better because a lot of people don't have a soul in this world.

If everyone had a soul and no body, then there would be no pain and suffering. It would be the end to all our ills and mental woes.
Life would be more harmonious. Without pain, maybe aggrevation and rage would be a thing of the past.
Imagine a world of peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Yes all those more than 19 billion estimated by computer to have died since Adam and Eve have no body but soul only awaiting for God's day. (Revelation) Only the present population of more than six billion who are still alive have the complete tri-unity of Body, Soul and Spirit. (1 Thessalonians 5:23)

You could not go to any dances, cause you wouldn't have any body to go with. Sorry, couldn't help it.
Everything would be etherial, I mean that there would be nothing physical. Spirits, angels, ghosts if you believe in any of these could be very similar to soul and when you think of these entities, it is all etherial and not physical.
Besides, bodies are so nice and treated well look after you in such a way that you love the physical.

With no body life as you know it , will cease to exist. Our drives , our passions , our needs , our likes, our dislikes everything begins at the very body-level. We work so that we satisfy our body of its needs like food, clothing, shelter, sex, other luxuries. Social workers and humanitarians work for all the same but in their case it is for others. So in which ever way you look if there is no body there is no more 'need' and without 'need' life loses its purpose, we cant even call it a vegetable existence as even plants have a body and even they try to fulfill its needs

It might be something to speculate on, but nobody can really say for sure. Will a soul still age? Will it still procreate by some means? Will it still die? What would be it's motivation for existance? Would there still be gender differences? Too many questions remain unanswered to be able to make any real evaluations.

~~~ If all us beautiful people lacked bodies and only had souls things would be horrendous. We would be in constant pain and mental torture because we couldn't medicate ourselves. Vicodin would not slide down a throat that wasn't there could it? I think not. Don't be laying that crud on me about..no body..no pain either. Where there is life...there is pain. The world would be in total chaos. you think road rage is bad now? Wait til nobody can see where or who they are running over. Anger and hate would be the norm. And we would eat worms. ~~~

have you ever heard of the phrase "embodied spirit in total unity" -Pope John Paul II in one of the Vatican circulars, i think, Lumen Gentium
well, i dunno about you but this is the only way we can only love someone genuinely, through gracious self-giving and receiving.
without a body, we have no worries about biological needs and we can spend our time doing "more important and more useful" things, but then again, we lose the only bridge we have to the world of palpable reality. we lose the ability to smell roses, the sweetness of chocolates, the pleasure of sex. if you think like marx, you can even argue that you lose your humanity parallel to losing your body as an instrument to being a being who can create things and transform nature.
things would very much be different if we didn't have a body, as we would love someone only in mind and never be able to express this love, because guess what we wouldn't even be able to talk as no body means no vocal cords (so don't even count on saying that, "well, we can always tell each other that we love them").
care for your bodies well, because we only begin to fully appreciate things after they are gone, so let us not wait for that time before we realize the importance of our bodies...

Your always going to have a body. You will have a new body in Heaven.

People would be able to see each others 'true colors' and would probably respect each other for different reasons.
