Dr. Hannah Fry, a mathematician in London, wrote a book called “The Mathematics of Love” that contains, what she claims, are perfect partner formulas to find love.
I haven’t read the book, but I hope she points out that there’s no such thing as a perfect partner.
Some of her formulas include the following:
— Have friends who are less attractive so you stand out. (Isn’t that a bit manipulative, cruel, and narcissistic?)
— Emphasize your flaws to set yourself apart.
— Select healthy looking partners since they tend to be more attractive.
— Don’t settle down too young.
— If in a relationship, let your partner complain and don’t let small problems pile up. (Isn’t that a sign it’s not the “perfect partner”?)
While these tips might be helpful, unfortunately, Dr. Fry fails to consider at least two things that may interfere with her formulas: karma and fate. Even if you do everything right (or wrong) in your search for a compatible partner, it will happen when it’s meant to be, which may or may not coincide with your love life agenda.
