Most people want these 4 qualities in their partner

According to a recent survey byElitePartnerTwo thirds of singles in Germany are absolutely satisfied with their solo existence. (Interestingly, the women here are more relaxed than the men.) However, there remains that one third of people who long for a relationship.

The world of dating apps has provided more acquaintances and opportunities here. But seriously: As the date quota has increased, the frequency of catastrophic dates and gross misunderstandings has also skyrocketed. Some of my single friends can tell scary anecdotes here all evening long.

The sad thing is that these friends often blame bad dates or strange experiences on themselves. And so it unfortunately happens that one or two singles start to wonder whether they are simply no longer compatible. Too weird, too different, too eccentric, no longer suitable for the world of relationships.

And these are exactly the people I want to meet here. Because, that should be clear: absolutely everything is right with you! You are no different than people who are in happy long-term relationships. Because what people want in a partner is actually what all the singles I know have.

It's not a perfect appearance, perfect lover qualities and a yoga-like ohmmmm balance. We are allowed to be as cranky as we are. We are allowed to have doubts, make mistakes, be our own people. In the end, completely different things matter to most people when they feel seriously attracted to a person.

It's good that there are always surveys that give the lie to our own self-doubts. So dear singles: These are the four most important qualities that most people in Germany want from their partner. And you can certainly score points with that, right?

1. Loyalty

The majority of women (93%) and 85 percent of men want loyalty from the person with whom they share their life. This wish is undisputedly number 1 on the list of desired properties.

Most people therefore need exclusivity in love and the security that no one else will endanger their relationship. The model of oneoris therefore not an option for the majority of those surveyed. They love them tooMinglesof course not included here.

2. Warm-heartedness

Second place isn't surprising either. Ultimately, most people long for warmth and security in a relationship. A place where they can open up and be themselves. A person who forgives your mistakes and weaknesses, encourages you and supports you in life - even when things don't go perfectly.

With a warm-hearted person you can at least feel safe that you will be accepted exactly as you are, even in difficult times.

3. Humor

Personally, I find hardly anything more strange than bad humor. Maybe one or the other feels the same way. When someone cracks one bad joke after another, I often even tend to feel embarrassed. Apart from that, there is nothing better than laughing your head off with someone. According to the survey, this is also an important point in a relationship for many people. Humor that fits.

Especially since humor can also be seen in everyday interactions with one another. A relaxed atmosphere that sometimes forgives small mistakes with a smile, cheers each other up and spreads a good mood and lightness. When humor connects together, you manage not to always take life too seriously. And that is sometimes very helpful.

4. Feeling & tenderness

Maybe other people feel the same way: When someone looks at you lovingly or simply takes you by the hand, it often shows so much more about how you feel about each other than the wildest night of sex or a big “I love you”. It's often the little touches and caresses in everyday life that give you this indescribably warm feeling of closeness.

The survey also shows this. For most of the people surveyed in the study, it is important that the person they are talking to is sensitive and tender. This also has a lot to do with empathy and consideration for one another. In a relationship in which you want to let yourself go and be open and vulnerable at times, it's not possible without it.
