Love Test, how accurate is it?

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.


My Personal Thoughts..

I have participated in several online love quizzes such as that shown above and it always makes me question if all these test have any element of truth in it. Yes, perhaps psychiatrists have based their research upon various decision making to establish links with the emotional desires and behaviour of an individual. Nonetheless, we all know that we can never say for sure how an individual would react until the actual situation or scenario happens..Just a food for thought..

Masculine with Feminism Appeal

Walked down the streets and seen a guy who seem to ooze masculine appeal, yet the girls don't seem to be impressed? Or how some girls can be seen as gorgeous by her fellow females, but yet to the guys, she doesnt seem to be anymore than above average? Arguments about whether a girl seen on the streets is pretty is commonly debated between a guy n a girl. Yet interestingly enough, girls often agreed on another girl's good looks, while guys have their own take on the same girl. Is this a case of feminism oozing guy appeal?

I often used to wonder, why is it that there is this guy whom is talked about with fanfare by the girls, but yet in the eyes of the guys, he's nothing more than just a pretty face, or even average looking. While there are guys whom are looked upon secretly with envy and respect by other guys for their charisma and good looks, with the girls thinking otherwise. I figured its probably guys and girls are attracted to slightly different things, and people I have asked have mostly agreed upon that.

What is this factor we probably wouldn't know, but perhaps can be found within guys or girls who appeal to both genders. From a guy's point of view I can figure what attracts me, as from a girl's point of view, I can't quite know. Take a girl more example, guys are usually unconsciously attracted to slutty girls mostly for the fact that they fantasize about having a wild one night stand with them. For most reasons, its the unexplainable sexual appeal these girls have on guys. Well of cos, there are guys who are put off by them, but that's the minority and it is usually a love hate relationship we have with these girls. Either we love them or we hate them. As for guys oozing masculine appeal, other guys look up to them as they secretly seek to emulate them, both physically and intellectually. Or for unexplainable reasons, these guys are simply charming in the eyes of other guys. Interestingly enough, this develops scenarios where the guy admires this alpha male, while the girl thinks there's nothing really special that draws her towards that guy.

I believe that was why the term X factor was created. To help us explain humans' unpredictable emotional behavior. Something for us to use as a reason why an individual attracts us while another with better looks, better brain, better everything, fails to. Yes, the less logical part of us at work. That I can’t quite figure out..

Handphone, payphone or house phone?

Is it true that couples never run out of things to say? Chit chatting on the phone every night talking about everything under the sun,and even the most trivial things? To find out more about our partner's behaviour and mentality? Or is it simply because her voice is music to our ears? Read a magazine today about daily communications strengthening relationships. Especially long term ones. Most relationships start off strong and passionate fuelled by the daily phone calls couples have with one another although they see each other everyday. The irony is that after a period of time, at a point when daily phone calls are at its most important, couples tend to overlook it as they place less emphasis on spending time on the phone, preferring to spend time on other activities instead, reassuring themselves with the “Excuse” that there isn’t much to talk about on the phone anyway. I ain exactly sure how phone calls at the later stage of a relationship can help bond a couple closer together, but I figure there are several possibilities on this.

First, a relationship isn’t something like doing all the nice stuff for your other half, think that you’ve scored enough brownie points, then take a breather and stop. Of which usually once you decide to take a breather, you don’t restart after that. Haha. Its like pouring water into a cup with a small hole at the bottom, the water keeps leaking out with time. You wouldn’t want to wait til its dry before you top it up. Idea is to keep filling the cup with water and keep the water level high, akin to scoring brownie points with your other half. Get the gist? So daily phone calls I guess effectively helps to strengthen the relationship each day, little by little daily.

Next up, when there are daily updates on your other half’s lifestyle and activities, it helps that you can share the joy and problems almost immediately and both of you can ride through the storm together. With each passing obstacle, you grow stronger. Especially when you know everything about the ongoings of your other half, it shows that you care and you are concerned. Imagine someone else having to tell you that your other half intends to switch schools with you not having the slightest idea? That would be disastrous don’t you think? Such a major decision and yet you are not in the loop shows a lot..

So daily phone calls or not? I guess the main idea is that as long as a couple is constantly in close contact with one another, it should do the trick. The choice is yours.
