Values Wheel

The other day, I read a magazine during my warm-up at the gym that had interesting advice.  A psychologist was trying to explain to women how they can determine if I guy is relationship worthy.  I agree that women can get twitterpated & forget the important things when it comes to love.  She suggested that women should sit down and draw two circles, one inside the other. 

In the inner circle, there should be a list of things she absolutely can't live without in a relationship.  If a guy has the qualities in the inner circle and there are lots of mutual romantic feelings, he is relationship worthy.  The outer circle should be a list of things that would be nice or a bonus.  I think mainly that outer list is there because women like to give a guy they like the benefit of the doubt.  It may be a way of acknowledging things that you like, but don't NEED. 

I decided to make a Values Wheel.  I came up with a few things for the inner & outer circles:


I actually think the outer circle should be created once you have someone you are thinking seriously about and just want to add their traits that you like.  To be honest, I just think these kinds of tasks are more like fun little quizzes than actual decision assistance.
