Dating Relationships Statistics
Dating is one of the most anticipated events in the life of most men and women. This anticipation starts during the teenage years when one becomes conscious about the presence of the opposite sex. The fascination for dating never wanes in adulthood, as the search for the perfect partner continues even after the lapse of the reproductive phase.
Dating is the process men and women willingly undergo to find their life partner. However, it should not be a thoughtless process where one should date every person in sight. As time is a precious commodity, it should be invested wisely and not be wasted to somebody that is wrong for you.
Both men and women have ideas on what they want when dating. These ideas have been shared by millions of people in varying degrees.
However, all these dating concepts and aspirations boil down to the fact that people in general want to be with someone extraordinary, and that extraordinary someone will be willing to spend a lifetime to make a dream a reality.
Although the goal is but a basic human nature, the road to find this one person is not always a walk in the park. Some may spend years before finding this one extraordinary person. Others will spend a lifetime without finding that special someone.
The concept of the extraordinary person seems vague, so scientists and statisticians conducted experiments and surveys to describe who this extraordinary person is.
Shall we look at some dating relationship statistics?
According to several studies made, it is not the women with thin waist or the man with the broad shoulders that usually attracts a potential partner. It is surprising that in most cases, this extraordinary person is but the Average Joe or the Average Jane. Physical attributes is merely, a plus for many people. However, both men and women prefer life partners who like them, live with love handles or a thinning hairline.
From several studies and experiments, it was found out that what transforms a person into somebody extraordinary is mainly his personality. Both men and women prefer to date somebody with a bubbly personality.
The ‘cougar woman’ may be a common phrase nowadays, thanks to Demi Moore, Jennifer Lopez and other celebrities who prefer to date younger men. This phenomenon proves the fact that an older woman can still snatch the man, provided she is more alluring than the younger competitor.
It has also been found out that people in general look for a life partner that mirrors them. There is preference to life partners with same interests, hobbies and values. Thus, if given a choice between an educated Plain Jane and a drop dead gorgeous woman with no brain, men prefers the former for a life partner as they want to be with somebody that can sustain a conversation, and therefore sustain a healthy relationship.
Although not all who thought they found that one extraordinary person who can complete his life end up marrying that person, it makes sense to try and test the waters. After all, no one ever gets to catch a tuna in a pool of goldfish.

Interesting, I am surrounded by Scorpios. I am a true sag man.
Sag Sun with Libra Moon and she’s Leo Sun with Scorpio Moon, interesting!
It’s not fun to have to teach someone about stability. And to make that
teacher a sagittarius? It’s comforting when the scorpio shows ME (sag
lady) how to be more grounded and reliable. But I haven’t found a scorpio
who was himself a good model for stability. I think it’s something they’ve
been going through for the past few years. Lots of financial hardships for
scorps. Mostly due to scorps bad decision-making (and their fixed
attitudes/stubborn adherence to those bad decisions). Bad decisions range
from where to work, who to allign with, who not to allign with, etc. I see
it all the time with scorpio men. Something’s missing in their
decision-making process that attracts really bad luck.
I’m a Sagittarius girl, I have dated a Scorpio man…Ummm…F*CK
no!lol….I agree with what the other SAG’s say abt scorp’s ….RUN!…It
truly DOES go downhill after the sexual attraction is gone. Also, I can’t
seem to get rid of them! ….Scorpio men GRAVITATE toward me CONTINUALLY! &
they ALL want to be together!!!!…. its crazy (&fcking annoying) &
everything this adorable little Lady with the cute accent said is 110%
true!lol ….*Subscribed * :)
i think also Scorpio has the power to drive Sagittarius nuts!
well spotted!, because Sagittarius triggers the 2nd house of Scorpio which
has the same effect like Taurus 🙂 So Sagittarius teachers Taurus(2nd
house) lessons to Scorpio
Sagittarius sounds like taurus traits.
are you a scorpio?

attraction but fades very fast, its good for a couple of months but
