Physically Attractive, Emotionally Taxing

It’s a tale as old as Gen Z. The story of a relationship doomed to failure because the two people involved in it are just not right for each other. So why do they stay together? The sex is good. That’s it. That is the only thing positive they can say about their partner. The truth is the two people in question began dating because they liked the way the other person looked physically. But sometimes one has to look past the bod and see if there are traits in this person that makes them mentally, emotionally, and completely enthralled with being around that person. In other words, don’t think so much with your nether-regions. Let the blood flow reach your brain and make solid decisions about a potential future partner. This isn’t a Hallmark movie. No one moves to a random town to inherit their great uncle’s estate and falls in love with the handyman. Most of the time it takes several dates of conversation and sharing of personal interests for partners to link up. Also understand that just because eHarmony or Bumble tells you a person’s interests and hobbies doesn’t mean that one swipe right is going to be the be-all, end-all. Sometimes a person will swipe a few times before they find one that they would even want to have the conversation with. Just remember that if you try to partner up and the only way you can stand to spend 15 minutes around the person is with their clothes off, then maybe it is time to take the L and move on. Because when it is all said and done, a year can pass in a snap and you may still be getting the jab from your friends of, “The sex must be good, because they are the worst?” But that is just one man’s opinion. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I appreciate it. See you next time.
