7 qualities that are more important for a relationship than good looks

Everyone is so obsessed with their looks: losing weight and tanning, conforming to ideals, picking out clothes to hide flaws. If you're just an aesthete and a narcissist, keep it up - you'll be nice to look at, and that's cool.(We recommend - Eden Christian Dating site, where you will find a real relationship.) But if you want to attract potential partners in this way and start a happy relationship, don't bother so much. There are at least ten qualities that attract far more than looks. And, just as importantly, help keep the relationship alive and make it happy.

The ability to listen

Almost everyone can and like to talk, but to listen - a few. If you have ever talked to such a person, you know what I am talking about.

When a person is not waiting for his turn to speak, while you are speaking, he is not going over similar cases in his head that fit the subject.

You can keep a conversation going without even listening, it's not hard to nod, say "uh-huh," and don't look at your smartphone. But listening is an art, but it is always felt and appreciated. You really want to talk to people like that.

The ability to be spontaneous.

Some people like complete spontaneity in their actions, others prefer consistency and reliability. But in any case, without a dose of spontaneity, fantasy and unexpected actions "in the flow" will be boring.

Just like that, without a reason, on a weekday offer to go to a restaurant (especially if it is not a flower and candy period, but more or less stable and almost family life), just sing when you are in a good mood, offer to learn some dance or take a weekend trip to nature to find an incredibly beautiful place.

Doing something well

It doesn't matter if your skills are great at driving a car, playing the guitar virtuosically, or speaking three languages fluently. People always admire other people's skill, no matter what it involves.

How do you learn? Just find your favorite thing to do and hone your skills to perfection. By the way, if you're not currently in a relationship, it helps to have one - as soon as you immerse yourself in what you love and forget about wanting a relationship, it magically appears in your life.

Being self-sufficient and content with everything

People who are content with what they have are more attractive than those who are constantly complaining and agonizing about lacking something. If you are happy with your appearance, you look much more attractive than if you think you are a fat freak.

If you are happy with your job, no one will call you a loser. And poor people, as described perfectly on Lurk, are not those with small salaries, but people who think they are constantly short of money.

Lack of unhealthy "corners."

If you're watching your figure and trying to eat more vegetables, that's great, but if you're blowing the pizza parlor staff's mind by demanding they make you a pizza without dough, that's different.

This applies to all of your principles and hobbies - you have to know the limits, and being morbidly attached to a certain behavior doesn't make anyone happy.

Be real.

You can endlessly come up with fake images of yourself, cover yourself with them and even live up to them, but people always sense falseness and appreciate real personalities.

It doesn't mean that you will be as simple as two rubles. It means you don't hide your feelings, and you don't "fake it." You smile and laugh openly, you are not shy about your impulses, desires and hobbies.

Ability to compromise

The ability to compromise, and more importantly, the desire to seek it, is a sign that a person is ready for a long and happy relationship.

If you are not looking for compromise, and make your partner obey you in everything, then you do not respect him, and sooner or later he will get tired of it.

If, on the contrary, you are always submitting and giving in, it will bore you - a long period of silence will end with an explosion and you yourself will break the relationship.

Everyone is so obsessed with their looks.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
