First Comes Friendship

“The Way Most People Meet Their Significant Others Is Probably Not What You Think” by Lauren Leibowitz
  • To increase your odds of meeting your partner, focus on friendship. Meeting thru friends or starting out as friends accounted for close to 40% of relationships. 

  • While there are people who meet thru online dating services, they are the minority. I think part of this has to do with the term “significant other”. Lots of people meet thru online dating services, but how many of those dates turn into actual lasting relationships or marriages?




"The More We See Someone, The More Attractive We Find Them, Study Says" by Paul Watson
  • Hamilton College did a study where they showed people's faces to a research group.  The faces that were shown repeatedly were later rated as being more attractive. 
  • Psychologist Dr. Ravi Thiruchselvam says, “much to their surprise, people often find themselves drawn to individuals after multiple encounters, even when there was no initial attraction. Cupid’s arrow is often slow to strike. An important part of the phenomenon may be attributable to the gradual change in attractiveness from repetition.”
