Therefore, the statement that real love is immediate is not a trait of love.

    Males gain greater ____________ through doing things together. (257)

    • A. bonding

    • B. friendship

    • C. intimacy

    • D. self-disclosure

    Correct Answer
    A. C. intimacy
    Explanation
    Males gain greater intimacy through doing things together. Intimacy refers to a close and deep emotional connection between individuals. By engaging in activities together, males can build trust, share personal experiences, and develop a sense of closeness and understanding. This can lead to stronger relationships and a greater sense of connection among males. Friendship and bonding are related concepts, but intimacy specifically focuses on the emotional depth and vulnerability that can be achieved through shared experiences. Self-disclosure, on the other hand, refers to the act of revealing personal information, which can contribute to intimacy but is not the primary focus of the question.

This way, if the decision turns out to be a poor one, the initiator can avoid any blame or consequences.

    Correct Answer
    A. C. High self-disclosure can actually damage a close relationship.
    Explanation
    High self-disclosure can actually damage a close relationship. This means that sharing too much personal information or feelings with a partner can have negative consequences on the relationship.

It is important to find a balance in self-disclosure and not overshare, as it can potentially create discomfort or strain in the relationship.

In these games, there is always a winner and a loser, which can create tension and conflict in relationships. This dynamic can be harmful as it promotes competition and a lack of cooperation, making it difficult to maintain a healthy and balanced partnership.
