Email: Rules of attraction [VI]

Many men and women want a relationship that stays interesting (though some just want one that stays comfortable). To build and maintain a mutual interest, at least one partner (and, ideally, both) should actually be an interesting person. Layers (like an onion) but not convolutions... Complexity (like a red wine) but not complications... "Drama" attempts to stir things up, supposedly to keep things interesting but actually for reasons that have nothing to do with a healthy relationship. Stirring things up to keep the attention on you is grandstanding, not a relationship. Self-confidence (which cannot be faked) breeds honesty, but playing games leads to everything else.
