These concepts and values change at the same time our ideas about religion and society do, for example, in the ancient Egypt the human soul was very important, they believed that the soul was made of five parts: the Ib (Heart), the Ka(life force), the Ba(individual personality), the Ren (name), and the Sheut.(shadow). To ancient Egyptians the most important part was the Ib, today we know that emotions come from the brain, but they believed that the heart was the nest of emotions and thoughts, that´s why the heart of a dead person was very important during the mummification ceremony, when a dead person finally arrived to the underworld , the God Anubis was the one in charge of weighing the heart of the deceased against the feather of truth. So the todays Ib could be the mind, the ka our modern concept of soul and the Ha is the representation of the body, this concept has not changed much, for obvious reasons.
Wich of these three things are we looking for in a love partner? some of us go directly to the body. If you are into this category the next might sound familiar, "Fuck, He´s hot", "Wow, check that ass", " nice six pack abs", "great pair of low hangers", "what a package", "WOOF", "Love that chest" and so on...Now for the eternal soul seekers, what about this one, "Oh God, I think I´m in love , he is my soul mate" (saying this about the guy you met yesterday at the local bar. I know lots of these kind of guys). And finally the brains, mmh...mh...h, wait...amh...ok...mgh...No I can´t think of any good example... (sarcasm?)
We are always searching for that perfect someone that fulfill our basic personal concepts of Mind, Soul and Body. That smart guy with great sense of humor, with a loyal heart and a drop dead body. Are we gays guys never tired of this standards? let´s face it, the answer is NO.
Oh well, to be honest, deep down inside we all are looking for the same, To love and to be loved, don´t you think so ?
...And here´s my quippy grapfic.

Great post again,Hirano!You made me speculate.Mhm.
Yeah,that whole package- mind,soul,body is probably we all search for.But I think the soul is the most important to me.Maybe that`s why we often call our beloved ones-our soulmates.I don`t know.One perfect body itself attached to a stupid or selfish brain is not what I look for for a long termed relationship.That`s good for one night sex.But I can`t imagine living with a guy for longer which I have nothing to talk about with.And to be honest I`m not attracted to "intellectually challenged" people even if they have the sexiest body.
Finding the perfect partner is a matter of big luck,I think:)
Kisses
Ah yeah I do think the same, besides the brain is the ultimate sex organ :P
and yes finding a your perfect match has its touch of luck.
Kisses to you too
