A Trait Could Be Key To A Lasting Romance

Passion and commitment are widely believed to be the foundation of strong romantic relationships. But a relationship is made of two unique individuals, and personality traits these individuals possess or lack can often make a relationship more likely to endure. In a 2019 study, we found that one trait in particular – humility – is an important indicator of successful relationships. An honest view of shortcomings Humility can sometimes be confused with low self-esteem, low confidence or meekness. But researchers have come to realize that being humble generally indicates the presence of deeply admirable personal qualities. It means you have the ability to accurately assess your deficiencies without denying your skills and strengths. For example, you might recognize that you’re smart but rea...

People Post ‘Couple Photos’ As Their Social Media Profile Pictures – Why Is That?

As you scroll through your Facebook news feed, you see it: Your friend has posted a new profile picture. But instead of a picture of just your friend, it’s a couple photo – a picture of your friend and their romantic partner. “Why would someone choose that as their profile picture?” you wonder. We are social psychology researchers interested in understanding people’s behavior in close relationships and on social media.

What Is A Pre-Opener

Not every seduction guide discusses how to pick up women during the daytime, but it's extremely important. It's the same game, but with slightly different rules. A great daytime tactic for pick-ups is the pre-opener. Pre-openers work really well with daytime pick-ups because women during the daytime aren't always in social mode. They may even be so preoccupied with what they're thinking or doing that they won't hear you. She may be just on autopilot. First, you've got to get her into a talkative state. A good way to do this is to ask her a question that only a jerk would ignore. For example, ask her where there's an ATM or Starbucks around here. Launching straight into something more complex is probably going to confuse her and take her off-guard in a bad way. The pre-opener's function...

Is It Really Empowering For A Women To Make The First Move?

Heterosexual dating conventions have long held that men make the first move: first to flirt, first to ask out on a date, first to propose. What if the roles were reversed? That’s what one dating app, Bumble, has tried to do. Bumble brands itself as a feminist dating app that’s designed to empower women. According to Bumble’s website, the app was developed to “challenge the antiquated rules of dating” by requiring those who identify as women to initiate communication with men they match with. With over 100 million users as of 2020, Bumble is one of the most popular dating apps on the market, and in interviews I conducted with over 100 people about online dating in my “Connecting Digitally” study, more than half reported using Bumble. But my research shows that Bumble, despite purporting to ...

What can be more personal than receiving a handwritten letter through the post? So how does one make the initial contact when there are so few in any correspondence clubs advertised in the newspapers? The most obvious answer to that is to do a Google search of pen f...

Does Someone Always Have To Win?

The words sound inviting enough. 'Darling, it's a lovely day, let's go for a bike ride in the country'. But what starts out as a pleasant few hours together may all too quickly turn sour if one person can't bear to come 'second' and is in desperate need of being the fastest, fittest, always having to win every stretch of the journey. You may remember coverage of the race where the runner in second position saw the person in front of him stop, clearly thinking that he'd crossed the finishing line. Not wanting to win the race that way he pushed the man in front over the finish line, afterwards saying he felt that it was the right thing to do. How exhausting is it when someone always has to be right and win? - Some people always need to have the last word, not realizing that over time th...
