 The first rule in Love is that you can't fall in love with someone you don't fancy.
You find someone intellectually stimulating, interesting, kind and warm. In fact, you love being with him, but… his teeth stick out. Or he's shorter than you. Honestly – do you still fancy him? Which brings us to the second basic law of human chemistry: A relationship with someone considerably more attractive than you is doomed to failure.
Squeal and shout. Protest all you like. But when it comes to finding a lifelong partner, most people end up with someone roughly in the same category as themselves on the looks and charm scale. To put it crudely, if you're about a six on a scale of 10, I'll bet good money that your partner's some where between a 5 and a 7.
Forget all the drama. When a relationship comes to an end, it's not some bizarre and arbitrary phenomenon, some inexplicable occurrence; it's the inevitable and logical working out of a mathematical equation where X always liked Y more than Y liked X. Why was that? Because X was a six and Y was a nine, that's why.
