I am capable of deeply loving, but another person might not want what or who I am because of differing life interests. I have never really forced others to have qualifiers like this in my mind – I’ve thought “love is love,” and we grow together from this.
However, I’ve found that people often want mirror images of themselves. They want people who specifically speak their kind of tech, etc., language. Then, add to this superficialities of money, status, and friend circles.
I would’ve thought these “compatabilities” could be learned, developed together, and cross-pollinated to create interesting interactive diversification in a relationship – to be shared together as a dynamic advantage.
But, I guess people are looking for aspects in a prospective partner prepackaged and “ready-made.”
Perhaps, I am an exception.
Perhaps many people are not open to starting from the beginning with good traits and values, and evolving from there, collaboratively.
