Advice From Somewhere II

Alrighty, time for the next piece of advice from https://www.msu.edu/~jerrymc/humor/advice.html.

Numero dos (I have no idea if that is correct Spanish, nor do I care. It's still fun to say.):

Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

I would find this piece of advice particularly useful, for talking is in fact my favorite thing ever. All I ever do is talk, you could ask anyone who knows me. So finding, in my case, a man who loves to talk as well as listen to me is a huge plus. Though for someone who talks as much as me I wouldn't think you would want to find someone who loves to talk just as much, that could get obnoxious as you both may end up trying to talk over each other and no real point would get across. But, the advice says "conversational skills" meaning someone who will be responsive and be easy to talk to as well as will always listen to what you have to say. That, I believe is very important to a relationship of any kind. It is always said that the key to a good relationship is communication, and this emphasizes that point.

Communication is not the only thing that is meant by "conversational skills" though. You don't want to grow old, married to someone who is boring. That is a major DRAG. Find someone you can have fun with, joke with, just generally get along with pretty well. In that same respect you would want someone you can take to a party who isn't super shy and will be able to interact with others fairly well without any major problems. All of these things are pretty important when looking for the right person.

I will say that I know these things may not be important to others, but I'm just stating my opinion, feel free to disagree.
