Relationhip filter cues


When looking for a romantic partner the things I find unattractive is when a girl has poor hygiene. I feel a woman should take good care of herself and be clean. Bad manners also are a no go as well as if they treat others with disrespect.

There has been a time when I almost allowed a sociological cue to stop a relationship from going any farther. It was with my current girlfriend of 2.5 years. I met her we became good friends and stayed that way for the first semester of school. When it started to turn into something more we were both hesitant because she is from here and I am from Puerto Rico where I go during summer and Christmas breaks. I also traveled a lot at the time and I did not want to hurt her by always having to leave. Luckily because of interaction and cognitive cues we decided to give it a shot and have been together ever since. To me, distance was  not going to be a thing to end a relationship, I see it as being the tip of the iceberg and could only add to reasons of not being together. There is so many more important things I look for in a relationship. Distance is not the ideal way to go but it is and always will be worth a shot of the woman is right.

I almost agree with duck theories 100%. If it were to be change where the preinteraction cue is before sociological cue then it would be work for me. I think physical beauty, nonverbal behavior, and quirks of a person is harder to get past than the distance or how often two people are able to be together. The rest of the order I do agree with.

This was a very interesting theory to read about.
