Study Validates 'Symbiosexuality': Attraction to Established Couples

- New research highlights that mate selection is deeply influenced by evolutionary principles, with men prioritizing physical attractiveness and health, and women valuing intelligence, emotional stability, and earning potential. - The study, published in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences, involved 288 adults from various Western countries, who rated 21 qualities in potential long-term partners. - Findings confirmed that men and women have different priorities in mate selection, with men focusing on fertility indicators and women on traits suggesting resource provision. - Personality traits also play a significant role, with individuals preferring partners who share similar characteristics, such as conscientiousness and curiosity. - Ideological factors like religion and political beliefs are crucial in mate selection, with participants valuing compatibility in these areas for long-term relationship success.

31M, I have been straight all my life but recently I started getting attracted to the same gender. It’s weird for me but don’t know why it is happening? Does this happen to you? Would love to connect. PS - I do have gf.

Grapeviners, can you, with all honesty convince a non-believer like me into getting married and having children. If you do, my parents will send a million blessings your way. About me: - Female, 28 - mostly introverted, very selectively extroverted - single and normally attractive - Jinxed when it comes to relationships - Financially independent, Net worth: 1 cr - not bragging, but I'm decently intellectual and I can have smart conversations My reason to resist marriage is: I'm scared it won't work out and will cause bigger problems than being single. Have seen too many unhappy marriages in family and friends. Dating scenes in recent times have only made things even more unimpressive.

Is it okay to like someone else even when you are already in a relationship?

Is it normal or okay to seek for validation from other women after being married to the love of your life? *Married for few months now *Love marriage *Good looking wife

I don't know whether this is the right platform to post. I find myself in a unique situation where I am seeking for a companionship with a man who identifies as gay but has a straight appearance or someone who is asexual. I'm a techie and I am specifically looking for a partner who is in Bengaluru. It is important to me that this person does not have any plans for biological parenthood, as I am seeking a relationship that allows us to prioritize our individual goals and aspirations. But I'm okay with adoption or surrogacy in case the person wants to have a baby. I am a confident and independent individual who values authenticity and open communication. I believe that this kind of arrangement can provide both parties with stability and support while allowing us to maintain our personal identities and freedom. Mutual respect and understanding are crucial elements for me in navigating this journey. If you are a man who aligns with the qualities I am seeking and are interested in exploring the possibility of a companionship, I would be open to connecting and discussing our compatibility further. Let’s embark on this journey together with honesty, understanding, and a shared vision for our individual happiness and fulfilment.Please mail me at [email protected] if you want to connect further. P.S: Straight people please don't judge me, I'm someone who is still in the closet due to some personal reasons.Many women who are lesbians by nature ended up getting married to men due to various reasons, social reason being predominant. I don't want to make anyone's life miserable and don't want to cheat someone so took this decision.

Found online.

Wait hear me out. Women have the ability to carry children, she needs men to initiate the process. Technically she should have more power. She could use and throw (not in that sense) men based on what she liked/ wants But we only have f*ckboys who do that Who made this difference come into play and why

What started as an Instagram-inspired social experiment has turned into a startup idea. (Refer: Men https://grapevine.in/post/808462ef-8ae0-4269-aaa3-c683ba1194bb and women https://grapevine.in/post/6bcaeffa-0cac-44a2-98a5-fc7a14786e85 survey) Few observations: 1. Our generation has moved on from orthodox thinking (baring few people) to more emotional compatibility 2. Men have more worldly expectations, while women seek spiritual features; none are right/wrong as long as they find each other. 3. Very glad that no one 'expected' the partner to take up gendered roles as dictated by society So, coming to the matchmaking platform. The idea is to have all aspects of life considered - personality, profession, family, demographics, physical attributes, etc. and have a weighted scale against them. Though I have my doubts here 1. An Introvert will need an extrovert to seek them but will be drained of social battery later. How do they match? 2. Physical attributes pull down people who aren't confident with their looks; that doesn't relate to how good/bad they are as partners. But without pictures, it will be a risky surprise element. 3. Prevent parents from creating accounts on children's behalf. Probably a social media log-in Share your thoughts on the compatibility algorithm and the problems we may face. P.S. I am not a techie, will need someone to actually build this. Will take care of marketing. Let's help someone find their soulmate ❤️ P.P.S. If this takes off, I will change my username to TimaSaparia
