I was interested to see this
article, which reports on the finding that, according to psychologists, playfulness
is just about the most attractive personality trait for prospective partners. This
is based on the five character traits that are claimed to be most attractive to
a beloved:
1. Kindness and understanding
2. Intelligence
3. Sense of humour
4. Being fun loving
5. Having an exciting
personality
These are fairly broad brush descriptive terms, but where the quality of playfulness is thought to give its head is in the notion that playful people are great to be in a relationship with because they are funny, laid back and creative, and that playful qualities like teasing, wordplay, improvising and light-heartedness are exhibitions of emotional intelligence, and very attractive qualities in a beloved.
So now you know!
Yours Truly,
Your playful host. 😀
