Koi tumse pyar kyu karega
Maybe I have realized why we prefer to date someone more successful than us.
No, the answer isn’t power or money!
It’s something much simpler—something we often overlook, not just in romantic relationships but in relationships as a whole.
Respect.
And where does that respect come from? When you acknowledge that the other person is better than you in some aspects, if not all.
I might be wrong—I’m just 22 and haven’t had much experience with these situations. But I recently came across a scene from Salman Khan’s Sultan, where Anushka rejects Salman and explains: Why would someone love you if they can’t respect you?
At first, it seemed a bit extreme, but then I made a list of people in my circle and realized—it’s true.
People whom I respect are mostly better than me (including my crush's BF, whom I hate), whether in terms of CTC (I know, wrong metric), knowledge on a certain topic, or emotional maturity.
And I found the same applies to the people who respect me (just a couple—I’m pretty average in all the metrics I mentioned).
So, maybe this is true.
What’s your take?
Growing up is realising everyone deserves respect regardless of whether you perceive them as better than you or not.
Including those younger or more immature than you.
By respect here I meant, look upon with admiration.
Everyone has to be given basic respect.
Are we improve also na , plus apne Jaise bhi log hote hain who like us for who we are jisko hum bhav nahi dete .
Wahi toh, hum kabhi apney jaiso ko bhav nahi detey.
And I agree we also improve, but we often question na after been rejected, and judge ourselves. It's just that when we confesed, samney wala doesn't respect us enough to be there partner.
Duniya mai aayi ho to love kr lo bs isi bharose umeed hai 😆😆. Respect should be generalized irrespective of relationship. If someone tries to cross their boundary be ready to make it a exception. I believe , what makes difference in the relationship is understanding , bonding, love and both should feel a ease / comfort. ~ single guy 😆😆😆
I agree, for the differentiating parameters but all this comes in place at relationship stage.
Respect not in the sense of literal basic respect, woh toh sabko dena hai.
Idhar ka respect, as in look upon with admiration, that's very important for attraction.
Mat karo bhai pyaar.
Right, stands true for most of the girls.
