In a relationship, what is a good match?

[vegetariantaxidermy]

A comedian can also make you laugh.

So?

I think looks takes precedence over personality in forming a relationship although both are needed. When you first meet someone, chances are strong it was looks that helped to cement a relationship, not the ability to make you laugh.

Being able to make someone laugh can make a person very attractive regardless of their looks.

Studies indicate otherwise that looks take precedence.

You were asking about a 'good match', not what initially attracts.

Attraction is part of a good match.

[Dalek Prime]

The only truly successful relationships I've seen have been where one, or both, makes the other laugh. Imagine having someone who makes you laugh often. What more could anyone ask for?

That, and being comfortable without having to speak all the time, and being able to do your own thing while they do theirs.

Actually, I just realised that my philosophy is indeed humour and laughter.

Sulphur and a striking surface is too. Or have I stretched that word pun too far?

[SpheresOfBalance]

A good match is between those things that balance, the spheres must balance for the system to continue! So as with humans, one must be willing to share their knowledge as well as listen and understand the other. Listening and understanding is of paramount importance, so that balance can be maintained. If the relationship has to do with the earth as a system, then balance is also of key importance. All must understand that equilibrium should be the thought of the day. Though tougher, it's just as important to tighten ones belt as it is to loosen it.

You can kill two birds with one stone.

Look constantly laughable, and you've got a partner for life.

I checked the Internet. You're wrong, Phil.

Studies show you are wrong. Studies show that you are always wrong. Check the Internet if you don't believe me.

... humour, laughter, and being able to shut your fucking mouth.

Same as relationships, latter with good sex.

Overlook it ?
How about your partner talking about your personal stuff because he likes to arouse interest in the occasional listener that way. How can I overhear it ? I go grumpy like hell.

Okay, don't overlook it.

Google "Do looks affect a relationship?" There are articles that back what I say.

Google "you're wrong, Phil" there will be at least one study with this conclusion.
