For my blog posse: How to find Mr. Right

There are a number of friends out in the blogisphere who ‘might’ be looking for the proverbial Mr. Right. Life is such a dice roll, but with the hormone rush of youth in the past for many of these people, maybe a little science can help. This article caught my eye from Web MD.

WebMD Commentary from "Psychology Today" Magazine

"Finding love is a little like finding the right pair of shoes. I don’t own stilettos only because I may break my neck, and I don’t bother with Doc Martens because I may break someone else’s neck. There are all kinds of shoes out there—the proper, the whimsical, and of course the loud. But for the longest time, I seemed to gravitate toward the wrong fit. To be honest, I don’t even know why some just rubbed me the wrong way. Indeed, it’s all a bit of a mystery.

I recently came across the book The Secret Psychology of How We Fall in Love. The title, though, was enough to give me indigestion. Still, I wanted to peruse it for the sake of curiosity. Author and psychiatrist Paul Dobransky, also known as Dr. Paul, separates people into four categories: Kings-Queens, Warriors, Magicians, and Lovers. I liked the sound of it—there’s a certain romantic ring here. But what’s the gist?

In effect: Seek your opposite."

Of course there is no magic answer, I would be a fool to hope for that. And as most of you know, I was very lucky to find my soul mate in Suzy. But I offer this as just another viewpoint that might help those who are looking.

    Thanks!  I’ll keep these thoughts in mind.  After over 50 years with the same man I don’t think I am in the market yet.  LOL

    Interesting article.  Of course you realize…I am married to Mr. Right…for me…just as you are…with Mrs. Right…for you.  Men and women generally think so differently, even when we do get into each other’s left brain, right brain territory, that I don’t think true opposites are necessarily best for one another.  In my opinion, when you share basic principles and convictions, are commited to one another in regards to them, and respect each other’s differences as individuals, you have the most important things in common, which make a marriage work.  People that only rely on feelings, which constantly change, don’t have much of a foundation.
