Due to the news: a study taken by Peter Backus-a tutor at the University of Warwick on love affairs showed that only 1 out of 285,000 chances you can meet a perfect partner. The result in some way may depress many singles. For we cannot have the chance to know so many opposite sex during our whole life, so does it mean that we cannot meet the right one? Of course not. The idea of perfect one is just for those perfectionists, and perfectionists are gradually becoming crepehangers. Because nobody is perfect in this world and no two persons are the same, so it is impossible to find the exact perfect partner. However, when we grow old so that we are mature enough, we are able to learn to be tolerate and understanding,we can pay more attention to the best in others instead of their weaknesses, then it is able for us to find the ones that match ourselves and who we can enjoy being together. As long as the partner is honest and treats the relationship seriously, then he can be perfect to you. So we don't need to worry, the Mr right may just be someone around us, just keep smile to the people we know.

I agree with you that Mr. Right could not be the perfect one. However, he is not the one who is just honest and can treat the relationship seriously either. From my point of view, Mr. Right is the one who can understand you, care about you and even sometimes lie to you in order to surprise you and make you happy. More importantly, you must feel comfortable and relaxed when you two are together. You can share anything freely with him. If one day, he is not by your side, sorrow comes to you. From above, obviously, finding someone like that is really a hard job, because everyone has different characteristics and we cannot learn about a person for a short time. Though it is not so easy, when you find your partner, you will be the happiest one in the world. Hope everyone find her Mr. Right.

ReplyDeleteyes,I agree with you.It is a interesting article, and here is my point of view. It is almost impossible to find the ideal partner, he/she will only live in your imagination.I never believe in falling in love on the first sight.however it doesn't mean you can not find your love and live happily ever after. Men and Women think in totally differernt ways.Man are not born to take care of women and know everthing they want, they have to learn.As I see it, love is the whole process of trying to understand each other,support each other,change yourself for your other half. In the end, you will find he/she has became the ideal one,and you have alreadu became her/his perfect partner. and that is love actually.

ReplyDeleteI agree with your ideas. In my opinion, it is rather ridiculous to use some Math equations to calculate the number of girls who are suitable for you. This is because love is pure, sweet and can leave both people a series of unforgettable memories. It is a miracle, for it can encourage two people who are not familiar with each other to unite together and spend their rest life together. If we can simply calculate it out, how come there are a lot of people who live with their 'unsuitable' partners every day and have a happy life? After all, the perfect may not be the best; the imperfect may not be the worst.

ReplyDeleteWow. What a heated discussion here! Let me join as well.
I really appreciate your optimistic attitude. To be frank, there are valid reasons to be optimistic like that. Why? I would like to share something encouraging and inspiring with you all. George Bernard Shaw, the Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature (1925) once said that there is approximately TWENTY THOUSAND (omg!huge population~) candidates suitable to be one's lifetime partner at a moment. It's only a matter of your choice at the moment. If one has already developed a close, intimate and indepth relationship with the afore person, then the next ideal candidate will become one's good friend. However, if the relationship with the afore person is not deeply established, the foundation for a strong relationship is easily waivered. That's when a change of heart occurs until a chosen one is selected amongst the pool of candidates, will the days of the floating heart end.
Even if one cannot meet any of the 20,000 suitable candidates, there are always irresistible reasons to cheer you up. In my favorite novel, Pride and Prejudice, Elisabeth misunderstood Darcy when they saw each other for the first time.As time went by, she unveiled the actual image of Darcy and she eliminated her prejudice. Love can be nurtured.
To sum up, if love is around, grab your chance; if not, create your chance.XD
Love is a chemical reaction...Your brain automatically selects the one with the most distinct features from you as your lover to ensure the best DNA combinations for your offspring... Well, that's what the scientists claim. For me, I believe in fate, sometimes, someone is just predestined to love you, and be loved by you. I neither believe nor doubt love at first sight, because in certain cases, time can reveal one's true destiny...
ReplyDeleteBTW,i'm from groupC, I saw this interesting piece of news and posted a comment.
I need to say this is quite an interesting topic.
ReplyDeleteI just wonder how the scentists define the so-called 'perfect' ones.By some formulars? That sounds ridiculous.In my opinion,there is no perfect lover. Just like what ke has mentioned, love is a kind of chemical reaction rather than a choice after complex calculation. Love follows feeling forever. Certainly your boyfriend or girlfriend would more or less have some imperfections, but these will not be the obstacles of the true love of you two. So stop complaining about missing the perfect prince charming, cherish the one which you love actually.
