If you’re looking for love, lose the mental checklist.
According to Dr. Ty Tashiro, author of “the Science of Happily Ever After,” most of us have a mental checklist of attributes we’d like to find in a mate. That checklist could be significantly narrowing the playing field. For example, Dr. Tashiro says consider a room with 100 eligible bachelors. If a woman would prefer a taller man, over six feet, 80 men would have to leave the room. If she also requires a college degree, 16 more would be headed for the door. Our bachelorette is now left with just 4 men to choose from before considering personality or chemistry.
Dr. Tashiro says most people SAY they want a great personality or other traits like sense of humor and kindness. They may even believe it. However, in reality, physical attractiveness and wealth tend to subconsciously trump those, for both men and women. His advice: Make a conscious effort to be more open minded and you just might find love where you least expect it.
