The mathematics of love
Hello,
Here you are, a video on the mathematics of love I would like you to watch. The speaker mentions 3 tips. Just listen to tip 1 (0:oo’-7:30′) and tip 3 (12:10′-17:00′) in order to answer the 2 questions below:
a. What is the speaker’s conclusion when talking about how to win at online dating?
b. What can we recommend couples to avoid divorce according to tip number 3?
Tip: Try not to make use of subtitles. Take notes and try to use your own words.
Leave a short comment with your answers!
a. What is the speaker’s conclusion when talking about how to win at online dating?
How attractive you are not dictate how popular you can become. It’s not true the more attractive you are the more messages you get according to OkCupid. We must develop what makes us more attractive even if not everyone think so. Moreover success will come up whenever we are able to show how different we are of the rest of the people. Being a kind and friendly fellow, goes without saying.
b. What can we recommend couples to avoid divorce according to tip number 3?
The second tip is related to an interesting study developed by a psychologist, Gottman, and a mathematician. Everything started with the observation of different couple’s conversations. Gottman tried to analize all kind of details but he needed so predictible as useful math help to solve the equation of love. In short, they manage to point at a new love equation which is able to predict the future of every relationship taking into account the mood of the couple.
Hello Pedro!
Regarding Question 1, your answer is good. Attractiveness does not guarantee popularity on online dating sites. Making other people pay attention to what makes you different can be the right thing to do so as to be popular or sucessful at online dating. With respect to question 2 (recommendations to avoid divorce), you just explained tip 3, which was not the objective of the question. So make a try again!

Pd. Some serious mistakes (e.g. not dictate > does not dictate – not everyone think > not everyone thinks so – how different we are of > how different we are from – go without saying > try to see examples to be familiar with the way in which «go without saying» is frequently used. This expression is used to EMPHASIZE the fact that you’re going to mention or the fact that you have already mentioned (e.g. It goes without saying that…./I am very proud of my daughter. That goes without saying.) Be careful with punctuation as there are some clear punctuation mistakes (e.g. Moreover success > Moreover, success – the more attractive you are the more…> the more attractive you are, the more.. – , goes without saying > no comma is necessary between a subject and a predicate)
Regarding the question 1, she said that we should stand out something about us that makes us different in other to be successful.
Speaking about the question 2, If I no mistaken, she said that couples should speak all kinds of problems, even which are not unimportant, not to make them bigger. It makes the relationship powerful.
*In order to be (instead of in other to be)
Right!
I consider you got the idea!
Thanks for your participation!

Ps. Regarding the question 1 > Regarding question 1 – «Speaking about the question 2»>Concerning question 2 (Please try to avoid «about question 2» or «talking about question 2» and try to use a connector such as «Concerning/As for/With respect to, etc. – If I no mistaken > If I am not mistaken -,even which are unimportant > even those issues/problems/concerns which could be unimportant or even those issues/problems/concerns being unimportant – It makes the relationship powerful > these little actions can make a relationship more powerful or successful.
