Qualities for a succesful dating life

I had a discussion with a friend about how body language and confidence are not required to have for a succesful dating life.

Other things like physical attractiveness, income (ability to be independant) and beeing a somewhat decent human beeing are more important imo.

Sometimes it seems that we prioritize what is not that relevant.

What do you think about this?

Idk man… I guess the first list is kinda important in the beginning but the second list for the long term? Don’t matter for me though…I’m on the Truman show so girlfriend is out of the question lol

I don’t even think that the first list is important at all lol.

Hope you get out of Truman soon…

I don’t know.

I think you both also got to be at the same point in your life/in the same state of mind…

Like, I met my husband on an app known for just hookups… but we both were looking for more than that… so it worked out.

Also- you both got to be committed to making things work. I feel like a lot of people just walk away when things get hard or difficult.

This is my personal opinion.

I think about this that you create it, rather than find it.

Not completely, but to a certain extent.

Depends on the person. It’s really a situation by situation thing. People are so complex. There’s not really any one way to deterministically define good matches because it also depends on factors outside them. We also grow to love people. Best thing we can do is pray and seek. Who our soul mate is is essentially out of our hands as far as I see it.

One thing I will say tho is a good spouce is a blessing. Good attracts good. Bad attracts bad.

Having things to talk about.
Enjoying yourself. Enjoying what they share.
If that happens. It’s a success.

I know a guy who’s had tens if not hundreds of one-night stands. No relationship though. He is very self-absorbed and thinks highly of his pick-up skills. He also told me he’d only marry a rich woman. So I asked “would a rich woman marry you?” - my question took him aback a bit.

I know a guy and a gal - ex-classmates - they started dating on March 10, 1999 - exactly 25 years ago! Now happily married with 3 children.

I know a couple guys - good looking, intelligent and cultivated, serious and financially stable. They’ve always been single, maybe still virgin.

I also know poor old meself.

So, to my knowledge:

  • body language and confidence are important for both sexes. There is a difference between confident and arrogant, though - the latter isn’t as attractive.
  • verbal skills, the ability to express oneself with clarity and a bit of humor.
  • good manners
  • dressing style matching your potential partner.
  • being as drama free as possible, focused on the present
  • knowing what they want from a relationship

I think a lot of people are unhappy in relationships because they are not natural. Being genuine to who you are and having a nice smile, considerate to others are three simple ingredients to a success. Hopefully the smile is natural too :blush:

I used to believe that an actor would get paid to pretend to love me and marry me.

Everyone around me pretended.

It was devastating.

I never married.never will.

I have a boyfriend.

I have two x I felt genuine love from.i don’t think they pretended.

My “family” pretended that’s certain while doing nasty s h it.

Neighbourhood certainly has no lovd or care for me possibly pretended if they think that give them power as they are powercrazed.

I value humble , respectful, kind , loving , loyal , good vibe to me , comfortable with , take care of each other.

My boyfriend is not pretending to love me.
I don’t believe that.

I had voices back then say horrible hurtful things.
I don’t anymore.thankfully.

Hope you will be able to feel real love from others @anon31960475 .

I think you can feel it.

I did hear of a spy who was married to a politician or something for over thirty years anc never loved her and only wanted information.
Shocking stuff.

A woman I love had me fooled because I thought she loved me but she only wanted power of me and bully me with all her friends etc

My “parents “ were never able to truly love me as parents should.

Maybe you will meet a woman who you feel loves you sincerely and there’s no way she could fake that.
I hope so.
(Think you said your in to women)

Best wishes for true love @anon31960475 .

I’m so grateful for my boyfriend and dog.
I don’t think they are pretending.
