6 Important Traits That People Look For In a Potential Partner
A guide to being a more desirable prospect
Understandably, people are choosy when it comes to deciding who they want to be in a relationship with.
Everybody has things that they look for in a potential partner, and the more boxes you tick the more likely you will be seen as relationship material.
It is not an exact science as to what each individual person is looking for but there are universal characteristics that people want in a potential partner. I’m sure we would agree that nobody wants a mean selfish partner.
The reason that this is important is that nobody wants to end up unhappy. Many years of research have been done into this and it is believed that good qualities can be spotted early on:
1. Humor
One of the best things is somebody who can make you laugh. When someone is deciding if you are right for them they consider if you have the same sense of humor as them.
Everybody wants a bit of light-hearted fun. Somebody that doesn’t take themselves too seriously is key.
There are times when certain situations can be stressful and a partner that can lighten the mood is worth their weight in gold.
