Match? A true match I hear you cry, is there such a thing? It makes it all sound
like a game of Snap. Well yes I think there is such a thing. Who do we match with? I
think the first issue is to know who we are and what we are about. Once we know this
then we can work out who we can possibly match with. That innocent comment is where
a lot of people fall down. I am often surprised how little people take a good look
at themselves. You may feel that you perfectly suit Brad Pitt or Pamela Anderson but
then do you really know that much about them as people, and would they go for
someone like you?
Sure we often want to match ourselves with people of certain look and physical
properties and that is entirely natural. However if we weigh 300 lb. and have never
seen the inside of a gym then I think its fair to say that we may not be the perfect
match to a sportsman or a model. Why? Well simply because nature tells us that we
match with likes. On a base level we are here, says nature, to procreate and so we
select accordingly.
That of course on its own would be too shallow a premise to write this article but
the first element of any match is physical compatibility. Matching with someone on a
purely physical level is not enough to last. Sex is a part of any relationship to
some degree so looks do matter, even if to a small extent. After all you must be
able to wake up next to that person for months or years to come, and you must want
to be able to make love to them in some form, even if its simply kissing. I often
here some people say that appearance is not important to them and I am always
impressed. What they really mean is that looks are not important as along as you
like the look of that person already. Looks are only ever important if you do not!
Many relationships fail where sex is missing or unsatisfactory, where physical
contact in many forms is lost. When that occurs the foundations of a relationship
can be rocked so we must say that appearance and therefore physicality in any match
is an important factor. The first thing you may look at when you meet someone may be
their eyes, smile, teeth, hair, handshake, kiss and physique etc. They are all
physical attributes.
The other problem about matching physically is that we may not truly know how
physically attracted we are until much further into a relationship we are. It may be
sometime before physical intimacy is shared and sexual contact occurs. Therefore an
emotional, even love, match may have already developed further. But we do try
matching with people, look at fashion. The way we dress and the way we appear in
daily life speaks volumes about who we are. Maybe money is tight and we don't have
the cash to look our best. That is true. But what we can do for ourselves by way of
presentation comes through loud and clear. Not making an effort is the biggest
criticism I hear about guys on a first date. If a woman makes a great deal of effort
then a man should respect himself and his date enough to look as good as he can do
too.
Okay so we also know that in time appearance and the physical aspects of a
relationship become far less important as we get to know a person emotionally and
that mental contact with someone becomes far more powerful an influence. Yet
initially matching with someone it is still extremely important. We all discuss,
chat, talk, debate, joke, laugh, speak etc. and it is all because we are identifying
with each other and building the foundations of an emotional connection. It may be
found in a shared experience or hobby, activity or event. It may be found in
opposing powerful views discovered in conversation accompanied by profound respect
and deep seated desire to extend this connection further. It may be that we share
the same type of pet, a similar liking for certain foods even similar books we read,
but they are emotional connections that are essential in establishing any
connection. As we can see, initial matching is a complex scenario.
The next important factor in any match is location. I could match with someone right
now in Australia, but unless I am in Australia then it doesn't help me begin a
relationship. I may consider flying to Australia to meet my match but then can I
sustain my match and help us grow? Well of course that depends on the two
individuals involved, their circumstances, position, age, regularity of meeting and
planned future. The reality as we know for single people is that long distance
matches tend not to work unless both parties come together quite quickly after
meeting. I agree that some long distance matches do and will work really well, but
it is not the norm. So what I am arguing here is that when we look at who we match
with, let's be reasonably certain that our locality to those we meet and match with
allows for a relationship to develop. Whilst I may meet someone in Los Angeles who
is perfect for me, unless I am prepared to move, visit often or relocate then maybe
my match is not my best choice for me.
One thing often overlooked in matching with someone is humor. Yes we often specify
that someone must have a great sense of humor. And everyone reading this will say,
yes they have a great sense of humor. To them they have! And that's the killer
qualifier. In a high quality match between two people humor is where it is shared
and unquantifiable. It is essential that the humor is at a subtly understood level.
What makes one person laugh does not make another person laugh. And yet I watch so
many people co-exist without every laughing together and it makes me sad. A solid
relationship will have moments where common laughter is essential, where the sense
of humor. between two people is almost unspoken. That I believe is one of the key
ingredients in any true match. You may really be attracted to someone but of they
don't make you laugh you may be wasting your time.
