Attractive women want it all? Study reveals relationship standards are relative
Although many researchers have thought women choose partners based on the kind of relationship they are seeking, a study shows women's preferences can be shaped by their own attractiveness. Women ideally want partners who have all the characteristics they desire, but they will calibrate their standards based on their own desirability. "When reviewing the qualities they desire in romantic partners, women gauge what they can get based on what they got. And women who are considered physically attractive maintain high standards for prospective partners across a variety of characteristics."

Checking compatibility before the first date can save heartache
Their eyes didn't meet across a crowded bar. They didn't bump carts at the grocery store. But Corinne Strohman loves telling how she and fiance Harold Gill met. It's not a unique story, but one that's becoming more familiar as a growing number of singles search for love through online matchmaking. Dr. Neil Clark Warren, founder of eHarmony, says our definition of romantic love is the problem: "It's a beautiful thing that can get us into a lot of trouble. People have a very limited view of what romantic love is. Right at the centre of it should be unselfishness. We somehow get the idea it's about being turned on by your partner, but that's so short-term and narrow range."

Truth About Compatibility and Love - experts tell it like it is
Carlin Flora talked to a variety of experts who could be expected to provide insight into key qualities of good relationship. From family researchers to matchmakers, each has watched numerous couples draw together and pull apart. And each suggested the same thing: We're looking at love all wrong.

It's a disposition, an attitude, a willingness to work.
