Document Summary

We are mostly in a single relationship as a student. Anul = after ceremony, still be anual (not official) because they still never had sexual affair. Dating = going out and having fun, not commitment. Women: psychological aspects (loyalty, sincerity: hetero: financial security, occupation, lesbian: own sincerity, interests/hobbies. Results: more answered to beautiful waitress and successful male lawyer. Implications: women may be more interested in financial security, looking beyond attractiveness. Both gender: ideal partner as warm romantic sensitive (beyond attractiveness/financial security) Possible problem with using this research: leading a stereotype, all based on personal advertisement on paper (cant generalized to people who don"t read these advertisement) small proportion of the population.

Characteristics for long-term relationship = same value, attractiveness, financial, stability, loyalty. Gender differences: men value attractiveness more than women, both look for sincerity and value. Length and time that you live together, in an intimate relationship.
