We’re in a day and age where everything is evolving so rampantly and things go by without our noticing the sudden shift and change in the paradigm. Seeing as the dating world is not one to be left behind, it makes me pose questions like: What do we actually want our partners to be like to us? Do we still continue with the age-old traditions that have been imparted into most of us or do we adapt to the new world order in terms of relationships? What kinds of traits are acceptable of a partner to you? As a man, what would make you feel you’ve gotten the right fit? As a woman, what would make you feel giddy, loved and wanted?

Relationships are not be about wanting, what if your question was this: What Do We Give to A Partner In the 21st Century?

Interesting way to put that.

I agree with you Precious. We all, on one level or another, want to be wanted, loved and appreciated.

That couldn’t be truer Joy. This so-called independence that we so much seek and long for in our lives is a major factor in depriving relationships of the basic need of oneness.

Everyone wants to feel loved and appreciated. From romantic relationships to family and friends, that’s the reason we wake up each day… because we know there is someone who believes in us and recognises the work we do. It may be selfish but it is true. The specific relationship needs may differ from one relationship to another but the core need is love and appreciation. That;s why we have celibates, gay or lesbian relationships, people who are in relationships with their work, passion, business or anything else… It doe’s not have to be a person as long as it gives you a sense of belonging and value in this world.

The nature of love in the 21st century has been affected by social media and technology. People are more selfish and independent that it was before which makes it hard to find genuine love and relationships.

Different people have different needs. What works for me may not work for another man or woman. I think it’s more about the reality of our compatibility. How good we are for each other. Not merely for companionship but for a thriving and healthy relationship. I think connection and choosing someone is such a vulnerable process, further going to the point of saying you want to spend your life with that person. So for me, compatibility is the thing.

This is true. People are very different in taste and need. I take Buki must have been looking at an ideal and perfect partner who would fit into the fantasy of the 21st Century human. In that case, with all the distractions and “awareness” I don’t think we can have that.

Its believed that we are actors and presenters who actually we get trspped by the leaders and not knowing the repercussions but those are termed as selfishness cultures.

I know we are not supposed to settle but if I’m to ask for one thing, Faithfulness would be it. The rest of the things are just extra toppings.
