Robert Waldinger is the director of a 75 year long research study and has gathered a lot of data on what makes a good life. It is an excellent video reminding us of what really gives us happiness and satisfaction in life. The significant part is that most of it depends on social relationships and no where in the study does having a lot of sexual/romantic encounters, or how attractive our partners are, come in to play. Those things, while a lot of us are led to believe would make us happy, simply are not factors. We really would be much better off seeking partners that love and respect us for who we are and that we love and respect for who they are.
