I don't know how to count, certainly because there isn't a perfect formula to calculate how much love you have for a certain person. Often time, people rely on horoscope, birthday or name match, or some innovative love calculators to determine whether two person matches (So far I don't know if that applies to same gender relationship, or threesome :p) How far do you believe in these metrics?
The issue of compatibility has been discussed in many aspects (Remember the last time you and your friends gossiping about another couple?) Basically, some people believe that couple with opposite personality will be bad match, although some believe otherwise. Many would think that personality is the most important factor in determining whether a relationship is able to last long or not, while some people think that there are other dominant factors, such as (Partner applies to both genders):
1. Wealth
How much you are willing to spend on your partner per minute in the deluxe shopping haven. Notice it's not how much you can afford, because often times the amount you are willing to spend is equivalent to the perceived truthfulness in a relationship (In this specific situation). Therefore, backing up yourself with strong cash flow or you'll find yourself upset with either his/her dissatisfaction when you cannot pay or your overspent budget).
2. Time
How much time you are willing to sacrifice to just be beside your partner. Sometimes being together doesn't really require the person to find ideas to entertain the partner. Just the mere presence is satisfying, because the void in the heart is filled. Trust me, you'll be amazed because some nights when you're snoring heavily, he/she suddenly summon you to him/her. When you reach, you find that he/she just looking at your eyes, maybe giving you a hug and that's all while you're still in your pyjamas.
3. Ego
You must be a Nobel prize winner, or a Hollywood artist (assistant cleaner is acceptable, as long as related to anyone related to Hollywood), or a Multinational corporation (selling Nasi Lemak). The most important thing is that you must be perceived to be somebody with fame, authority, and status. Some people have this dream of becoming next to an important person, so that they feel the pride as well. Mark my words, I'm neutral at this. As long as you're happy with your choice. Butta... Nasi Lemak is a little simple, choose someone from a corporation which sells Nasi Lemak and Tomato Sauce. More variety!
4. Patience
You don't have to be smart, you don't have to be rich like Gill Bates. You just have to have that unlimited endurance to absorb any temper that your partner emits (I think the better word is "Shit out"). Like a sandbag, your job is to listen to the constant whining, beating, and the most fantastic logic for treating you so badly: I did this because I care! YES! You must be good at this, and don't worry, you are sure to get a partner.
5. Brain
Contrary to EQ, your job is to be the moving dictionary-cum-library-cum-Internet-cum-facebook-cum-whatsoeverthatcanmakepeoplehappy (Forgive me for the overflowing cums). You must be able to perform all the skills in KamaSutra and able to differentiate between a '97 and '98 wine. You must also be able to give 24/7 entertainment while solving ALL the problems that he/she faces.. Yes, extra knowledge and fresh skills learnt is very appreciated. And No, you must be fully operational all the time. Boredom and incompetence are totally intolerable. Find the solution yourself, or face his/her wrath!
6. Religion
Don't say I've not noticed it. I heard stories that some people followed a certain religion just to be together with the partner. I don't know how faith (or fate) plays here. Maybe God has it all in His plan? idk. Just hope it'd turn out just fine. There are also stories that initially joined a religion for the partner, ended up the guy/girl being more religious than the partner. Anything can happen, especially in God's will.
I forgot the original list suggested by my Korean lecturer (Good luck to him for he's now returning to Korea, great guy, appreciate him). But I guess everyone is entitled for his or her own requirements.
Well, which are you?
