Question: What role does attractiveness play in this love/lust equation?
Answer: We find that highly attractive couples tend to divorce more — probably because they have more opportunities to form new relationships. In general, we tend to couple with people who have a similar level of attractiveness. We also find that men tend to fall for pretty faces, while women are highly attracted to men with fat wallets. From an evolutionary standpoint, this makes sense because men are looking to improve their gene pool while women are looking for men who will help to support their children.
Came across this while reading an article online. Forgive me if i sound a little bitter... Just disgusted at humanity in general. According to this 'study', if I'm not good-looking, i have to be rich. If I'm not rich, I have to be good looking. If I'm good-looking I'll take it for granted. If I'm rich, I'll wonder if she really loves me. If I'm neither... help...! Thank God that the types of people aren't reduced to those who are found in studies.
I've realised that I've been yearning for contact a lot... As I look back over the past few months. I've been hugging my dog more often. Which brings me to another thought. Maybe you don't miss her, maybe you miss being in close contact with someone. Recently, I had another one of those, 'i-wouldn't-mind-getting-to-know-her-more' kind of situation. I would have, i could have... But as usual, not yet. I wonder whether this is how people lose sight of morality or standards. Because they are worn out by attrition. Attrition means something is being slowly worn out because of constant stress. Yes... Secondary 4 geography lesson for you right there. THATS WHY ITS SO IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT AND WHY YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR, YOU FOOL!
But in all fairness, God has been great. Always surpassing my expectations. When you think that you've experienced it all, He comes at you at another angle saying, 'HA!!! YOU DIDN'T EXPECT THAT, DID YOU???'
I'm still in need of a little more fine tuning. My greatest fear is that after the one year, I still won't be where God wants me to be. :-( Bought a necklace with a cross on Sunday. I like it a lot. Especially when it serves as a reminder to do Quiet Time or to 'behave' myself. Haha... Not that I should rely on it more than the Spirit. :P
