Has your rating gone down a wee bit on the social ladder? Throning might be the answer. And no, we are not actually recommending throning. Nevertheless, throning is a social phenomenon that has been happening on the dating and romance scene for a while now.
Now, what is throning? It’s dating someone higher up on the social scene to enhance your social standing. You flaunt your relationship with the person, placing them on a metaphorical throne. Studies have shown that people prefer to date those around 25% more desirable than themselves. Throning relationships are less about intimacy and connection and more about social gain. There might be next to nil emotional bonding or compatibility.
You may be attracted to your partner for what they represent and their public persona. But the connection does not go beyond that. For the person being throned, they would get attention, validation and appreciation from their partner. They may do this in the presence of others. Over time, such relationships unravel and come apart at the seams because the other party does this for their own benefit.
The lack of real connection will not sustain the relationship. If you are looking for a lasting, deep connection, then this would be something that you need to look out for.
Sasha was awed by the attention she was receiving from Rihan. He would agree to whatever she said. Rihan had his moment in the limelight when their relationship went public. The novelty wore off a few months later. They did not have anything in common and were not compatible. The ashes of another relationship flew over the desert of failed romance.
