Have you ever wonder who loves you most? Let me share a story that reader YK sent me recently.

A professor gave his class (50% male and 50% female) two questions.

Question 1:

There is a man who loved this beautiful woman. But one day, she was disfigured in a freak accident, will he still love her?

Question 2:

There is a woman who loved this wealthy man. But one day, he lost all his money due to financial crisis. Will she still love him?

The answers by the class:

1. 30% Yes 40% May be 30% No
2. 20% Yes 30% May be 50% No

The professor commented that the answers suggest man is at a higher risk of losing his love when he loses his money, compared to women losing their love when they lose their beauty.

Then he asked, "Have you all thought about the relationship the man and woman had in the two questions? Did you all assume it was a romantic relationship between a man and a woman?"

"Yes....are they not?" the class replied.

The professor said, "Answer the questions again - this time, assuming the relationship is between a father and a daughter for question 1 and for question 2, a relationship between a mother and a son."

This time, the answers were:

1. 100% Yes
2. 100% Yes

So now you know - who love you most. :-)

Have a nice day!
