If one is in a situation where one has to compete with someone to get a potential partner and he/she gives up as soon as he/she finds out about the other candidate.
Would you consider it cowardice or wisdom?
(For me, I would never like to compete for a girl no matter what she looks like :()
Re: Not competing for love, what would you call it?
But you would if you really liked her???
I thing if you like the person a lot you should fight for her/him...have a wrestle lol
I would only give up if i know that the potential partner will never like me and likes the other candidate :( which can never happen...everyone loves me! lol ha ha
Re: Not competing for love, what would you call it?
Well be prepared to live you life alone! lol
What if you really liked the girl and she really liked you too. The other candidate is someone who likes her but she does not share the same feelings....what about then?
Come on fight for her!!!! lol...

Lemme tell jou mein: In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

I was just quoting from the movie "Scarface" for the OP, but since he's disappeared, I thought I'd clarify before more people take things out of context.
Re: Not competing for love, what would you call it?
I think that when you get caught up in the competition.....you COULD end up making a fool of yourself. How? Well, competition can give off a "trying too hard" vibe...that can be off-putting.....and you're less likely to be relaxed.....so this can prevent your real/true personality from showing through.
So....don't compete. Don't even think of it as competition. Easier said than done....but be confident in being who you are. The "other candidate" might be better looking.....and very wealthy....and highly educated with a high-paying job...........but YOU might be the one selected. The rishta prospect might end up finding YOU more compatible (amidst your imperfections) compared to the candidate whom you feel that you can't hold a candle next to.
If it's in your kismat to be with someone.......you'll end up with them. It it isn't in your kismat.....then you won't. If the "answer/outcome" has already been predetermined....then don't think of it as competition. Just go with the flow and pray for the best.
Re: Not competing for love, what would you call it?
Don't agree with the rule. Even if you are madly in love with someone, if she is with someone else then she is out of bounds. Thats the bro code, you can not hit on someone's gf/date/wife/fiance/SO.

I remember that phrase from the movie, it applies to women in Pakistan too :)
this is exactly what women say aswell (only the other way round)... men are least important on the list...girlfriends come first :)
i hear my friends say that a lot.. i dont know to believe that or not..
