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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
