English Club on 'Human Relationships' with Igor and Olga

Fun Fact of the Day: “Jimmy Carter is the first known president to go on record as seeing a UFO” (www. Pophangover.com). 

1. What is your personal definition of an “ideal relationship” between a man and a woman? Who is an ideal spouse in your opinion? What characteristic should a good spouse possess? Is it possible to change somebody in a relationship? Can you make a not-so-perfect into the perfect one for you? 

2. What do you think about speed dating, blind dates, love at first sight, one-night stands, etc.? Have you ever participated in any of these activities, or do you know anyone else who has? What impressions followed? Would you or your friend do the same thing again? 

3. When looking for a partner, what qualities do you pay attention to first? Which features of character are not so important in a partner? Do you think that it is important for a man to have a physically attractive woman, or is this rather irrelevant? 

4. What qualities and characteristics cause women to be attracted to men, and why? Is it important for a man to look good, or should he care more about earning money? What catchy peculiarities about a man’s character might make him a more appealing partner? 

5. If you had some negative experiences in past relationships, does it mean that you should avoid trying to have another relationship? Do you think that people should always try to have new experiences, in spite of all negative ones from the past? What is your opinion about a person’s decision to stay single after a failed relationship? 

6. Can your “nuclear family” (parents and siblings) serve as a model for your “Ideal” family? Do you want to have the same family values that you were raised with, or rather different ones in your own family? What are the most important family values that you want to pass down from your parents to your children? Do you look at other families for such inspiration as well? 

7. Have you ever asked advice from a friend about relationships? Should we listen to friends’ opinions, or should we not let outsiders into private lives? Do you discuss your private life in public (with friends or colleagues)? What do you do if someone disagrees with your choices? Is it a good idea to give tips to friends if they have problems in their family relationships? How could this be both positive and negative?
