INTRODUCTION

Humans are complex creatures; detailed information can be gathered only by precise questions and they have infinitely different angles of viewing a particular thing or aspect. Moreover, investigators in previous reports have claimed that though men and women say they want something special in romantic partners, the two genders actually want the same thing. Another study, suggests the statement needs to be reconsidered. The analysis found that men and women really mean what they state; boy's care more about physical appearance and females care more about social prestige

DISCUSSION Appearance is not always responsible for two people to be

with each other. Physical appearance was assumed to be priority But the survey proved it wrong The survey clearly depicts characteristics as an important

aspect rather than appearance. Beauty was defined by most of the people as the

combination of inner and outer features of a person.

35 % of people believe that beauty is viewed from personality.

Further sub part of question, revealed that 51 % will look for a good physique in a person and also characteristic

Most people, who have chosen characteristics, want a partner with good humor.

Most responses shows that they are concerned with the mind and mental attributes of their partner

DISCUSSION 2 According to Dr. Hawkins, men are visually minded. According to the survey, men (12%) are more likely not to

date women with facial or skin problem. But the majority of the people do not consider it as a

problem. Our hypothesis: Men prefer physical appearance. However,

Most of them preferred personality. Our research leads us to: Men prefer a partner with strong

characteristics and lovely personality.

It also shows that men like being cared by their wives. Furthermore, women responded that they are more reluctant

to date men for their physique. To conclude, personality proved to be an important aspect to

sustain a relationship.

THANKS FOR PAYING ATTENTION
