Some people say "don’t let looks deceive or else your chances of gaining the affection of that particular guy/girl is slim."

In society, comes a world of curiosity, when it comes to romance. A lot of guys and girls become questionable to one another at first glance, when it comes to meeting one another in person. Any guy as well as any girl can have a personality that is either filled with a clear or mysterious end because of how much they understand each other. A guy who meets a girl or a girl who meets a guy does not always lead to a guaranteed opportunity of forming a relationship with one another.

This idea formulates the fact that different points of views of a guy and a girl, who can critically make relationships very difficult for each other to start. This transition can be relentlessly undesirable for an individual to mate with someone because not only are they judged by the first impression, but they will be labeled as a part of the friend zone or love zone to tell whether or not you have an interest for them. This is one of the factors that will also determine if they are just a thought or if they are really worth liking.

However, other people say that you should judge someone based on personality rather than looks. Usually when someone finds their lover, there is mainly an attractive property that sparks their attention in any occasion. This idea is hard to believe because generation after generation, the perception of how to approach a mate changes based on the person. People don’t speak the same way as their parents did growing up. For example, a lot people of today use terms like “bae” to express how much we love someone. This shows that the personality of an individual is different and can sometimes matter more than the appearance when it comes to the best characteristic of attraction. Nowadays, most millennials do a little of both when it comes to approaching one another.

Before going up to a guy/girl even if you one those people who have a certain preference one or not, always take a moment to stop and ask yourself, are they actually worth more than a friend to you or are they just an idea? This question could help prevent any conflict meeting or dating an individual before starting off on rough relationship with them. You have to find a way to maneuver genuine communication in order to maintain a stable status of a person so that eventually, their feedback (point of view) could bounce back at you.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
