A group of people are strong, united they can accomplish great things. If one member of a powerful group were to be excommunicated they will naturally seek belonging in another group or they will become lonely and depressed. This is because human beings have a natural inclination for relationships. Henceforth we will take a look at the power of love and discuss the impact of relationships and social interaction and how they affect our lives.
What I believe attract us to one another is the physical appearance, what we see when we first meet a person, although there’s often more to that. The reason I say this is some people can meet someone who they physically like, but can be easily turned off by their personality or it can be the opposite where the person overlooks how less attractive the other person may be but their personality is what may have captured them. All other things being equal, we prefer highly attractive individuals as dates, as friends, and to interact with in a general situation. This so happens to be true in today’s society, women my age tend to want to hang around attractive or pretty girls oppose to someone who is less attractive. It makes them and their whole circle of friends look good. While individuals might desire a relationship with an attractive person, they might not desire a relationship with the not so attractive individual. For example, most people tend to date those who they feel they are more attractive too or have the same type of similarities and personalities from those who are less attractive but may not have the same similarities. I often wonder does it matter if the person you’re attractive to don’t share the same qualities. Even though opposites can attract whether their attractive or not?! Similarities may or can be a more long-term relationship factor than a short-term factor. In general, we like and
