The inspiration behind this post is Shoefiend‘s post titled “It’s Kind of Magic”. Here she talks about how (most) women let go of ‘wonderful guys’ because they prefer to wait for their ‘Prince Charming’, who may or may not arrive.
We all look for love-shove, but to be frank deep inside we all know that it takes more than love to go on and keep a relationship working, just as the song by Patty Smith goes “Baby….sometimes love just ain’t enough”.
To look at things in a different angle, I have jotted down a list of ‘qualities’ or one can also put it as ‘criteria’ that a man should fit in….inorder to be the ‘chosen’ one. This could also be applied from a guy’s point of view, as to what they look for in their future Mrs. In order to get a better judgment of what today’s bachelors/spinsters are looking for in a relationship, kindly mention your top four choices from the below mentioned list. Well, you can also take part for the fun of it…believe me no one here is gonna judge you (well..I maybe incorrect though!!).
The qualities/criteria are in random order
- Bank Balance – Now we all need money to survive. But how important is the moolah for you in a relationship ?? Would you get cozy with a guy/gal simply because he/she is Tata’s or Birla’s or Ambani’s uncle’s sister’s second son or daughter. This reminds me of Maddona’s song “Material Girl”….hmmm!!!
- Physical Appearance – Women, long for the “Tall, Dark & Handsome” sorts and men dream of “Curvy, Dusky & Beautiful”….but we do get a wake up call..I mean we are not all lucky to find Ashwariya Rai and Brad Pitt sorts. So how important are the “looks” of your partner, to you ?
- Sex – There are stats that show, many couples break up because their sex life is not all the great. Everything else is great…but no pleasure in bed. Would you still continue with this relationship ??
- Personality/Attitude – Now there are many out there who would put this as their first preference, even IF they don’t mean it. What if, you find someone who has everything else you looking for, but his/her nature doesn’t really blend with yours. Would you still go on with them?
- Family Background/Structure – This is as simple as it sounds. Would prefer a partner from your own religion, or inter-racial thing is cool with you. You prefer to go in a nuclear family or you think joint family situation is better. Stats show that these days women prefer marrying guys who live separately from their parents and siblings. Does your partner’s family status in the society, matter to you?
- Education – I have come across, couples where the girl is much more educated as compared to the her partner….and situations where girls have rejected guys because they do not posses multiple degrees as them. Which side of the fence are you ?
- Job Profile – Your preference is more biased towards the ‘own-business’ kind or the ‘professional’ kind. Or this doesn’t fit in your list at all ?
- Spark at First Sight – Everything is great with the other person, except that you didn’t feel the ‘connection’ or as Shahrookh Khan would say “Dil ki ghanti nahi bajii”. Would you still proceed ahead ?
This is the best I could come-up with, if you want to add anything more to the list…kindly do it in the comment section.
So be a sport and take part yaar !!
these days as compared to perhaps a few years ago! Is love blind or have people started looking through the microscope at things that go beyond the physical or emotional factors (bank balance, etc??).
