Brainy is the new sexy. With that being said, the personalities and styles of architects differ, but generally speaking, they are intelligent. To begin with, admission to architecture schools is highly competitive, as is completing the course of study. In addition to talent in science and mathematics, an architect must possess the vision of a visual artist. Conversations with them are enjoyable since they are both left and right-brained.

More than 10% of architecture majors quit the field before their second year, and more than 80% of students never even register as architects, making architecture schools a death trap. If you find someone who has completed architecture school, you know they are capable of being committed to a cause and seeing it through to completion. Most people lack the discipline needed for such a rigorous degree.

Given the elevated status of architecture as an art form, it is plausible that architects participate in other artistic mediums such as dance, theatre, film, literature, music, etc. Architects hold opinions regarding most of them, even though they may not adhere to them all. When creativity is expressed in diverse ways, you will always have mad respect from an architect. So, if you are an artist of a kind, be ready to be showered with compliments and if not, let's say you will keep exploring different things with them and life will not be more interesting.

The work of an architect can be demanding. Even though they are given a laughably short time to complete the number of designs, they still have a lot on their plate- multiple clients to please and deadlines to meet. That's why, they may be reasonable and calm in relationships, with minimal mood fluctuations. They will also handle you well in case, you are the moody one.

Architects tend to focus on details. To provide their clientele with something that works for them, they must be able to comprehend their requirements. It's a skill that plays nicely in interpersonal connections. In other words, this implies that they will remember even the smallest details about you. There will be more thoughtful and well-planned date nights, so prepare to swoon away in delight!

Architects are highly innovative because of their artistic side. Their urge to come up with novel solutions to unexpected issues and develop visually pleasing and functional designs alters the way they think. Their surroundings are influenced by their innate creativity.

They are unable to give up since they are accustomed to working on projects for extended periods. They dedicate themselves to their demanding, occasionally irrational clients and stay strong through their jobs. Thus, they don't mind committing and take close relationships seriously.

Their job description includes problem-solving. Therefore, these creative designers are capable of handling any issue that arises for them, their partner, or the whole family. They can solve problems or at the very least devise a workaround.

The key is patience. This holds for the majority of relationships. You and your partner will need to work together and exhibit a great deal of patience to get through the difficult times. One develops an unparalleled amount of patience when they spend years of their lives sketching the same floor design over and over, just to repeat the same while modelling. Unless the plotter breaks down the night before a big submission, then it is a ‘Red Ross’ situation and all hell breaks loose!

There's no need to hire a tour guide if you're planning a vacation because your significant other probably knows a lot more about the architectural marvels you've booked to visit. There's no way you'll get bored traveling with an architect; they'll be showing you sights you never would have imagined to see in a town or city and will take you to locations with hidden beauty, places that are awe-inspiring in the creative power of nature. You will be in for a wild ride for sure.

One thing that architects learn in school, if nothing else, is how to survive on a diet of Red Bull and boxed meals from convenience stores with sleepless nights for days on end. Having a companion who can function well over long nights and is also accustomed to them is incredibly encouraging. Imagine waking up at ungodly hours of the night to tend to your child who won't go to sleep. So, if you can manage to get them out of their poorly lit studio, they might even assist in tending to the baby.

An architect is the best person to advise you on viewpoints, lighting, and creating picturesque surroundings, of course, other than a real photographer. And don't worry, architects know how to use a lot of editing software, so even if they weren't the ones snapping the photo, they can still do a fantastic job of altering it.

As helpful as architects are, dating one can be advantageous. It is good to know your potential spouse is capable of taking care of the necessities on their own. Their hands-on quality acquired during the course of study helps them create the most imaginative and personalized gifts for you. Additionally, for any do-it-yourself projects and futuristically speaking school projects for your kids, you can rest in ease- they are probably more excited to do it anyway.

Ted Mosby, the architect searching for love, is someone you may recognize if you've seen How I Met Your Mother. Regarding illustrating the struggles in the industry, his portrayal is considered to be among the most authentic. Though endearing, his character tends to ramble on and on and correct his buddies on everything. To thrive in a studio setting, architects must possess exceptional communication skills. Unsupported opinions are of little use to architects. Thus, their cultivated charismatic communication skills in turn help them to win clients and, maybe, even your loved ones. If tomorrow your parents and relatives begin to love your architect spouse a little more than you, take it as a win and not an offense.

Imagine heading out on a romantic long drive without a great soundtrack in hand. Quite a bummer, isn't it? The architect probably has a great playlist ready for every mood that looks like- 'The client proposed a redo design fest' playlist, 'The deadline's kicked in the butt' playlist, 'It’s party time' playlist, 'What even is life' playlist, 'Just another day' playlist and even 'doing it the romantic style, just in case' playlist. With great conversations and a geared-up playlist playing so on point, what more do you need for a fun date on the wheels?

Given that they work as visualizers, they have excellent taste in films. They view these films whole and through and offer their insights on them, which can again spark interesting dialogues that bring back fond memories. As for gaming, if you're an enthusiast, you probably would want to get another gaming console as architects frequently get sucked into the virtual world of their architectural projects. They'll quickly follow suit with the gaming industry and you’ll get to lose yourselves in the virtual world, together.

Even though it doesn't look like it, they are organized—just not ‘Monica-organized’. Although their studios and rooms may appear disorganized, they have their "own system" for everything, including how to put their clothing away or to organize the refrigerator.

Architects are a unique species, a unique blend of dreamer and realist, artist and engineer. They can lead an enormous team of professionals to create the world's shelters because of their imaginative foundation of knowledge and excellence. As a result, they offer a distinct set of qualities that people of the opposite sex typically find highly desirable. But don't be delulu; matching wits and being the ideal yin to the architect's yang requires an equally unique kind of companion. All things considered, you can entrust an architect to build a stunning future with you if you're prepared for a connection that goes above and beyond.
