Funny, this was on msn today.
From the Men are from Mars dude...
"Relationships in which one party is attracted to another solely on one ingredient — his or her physical attributes — rarely last. Physical attraction is the first ingredient men are drawn to.
Generally, a young man starts out on this level. Sometimes the more mature man regresses to this level when he is on the rebound from a failed relationship. He simply follows his attractions, and doesn't learn to become more discerning about whom he picks. The more a man pursues women he could not love, the less he is able to feel physically attracted to a woman he could love.
While physical attraction is important for a relationship to grow, three additional ingredients are needed:
The first of these additional ingredients, complimentary needs, is a give-and-take among soul mates that occurs without resentment, and through love. It releases us from an unrealistic ideal of what our soul mate should look like.
The next ingredient, maturity, occurs when we have depths in all aspects of our lives, and are ready to share experiences with our soul mate.
The final ingredient, resonance, occurs when you and your soul recognize you have similar values. If a man can move beyond that first chemical ingredient, he will get closer to finding his true life partner. "
