Optical illusion reveals what type of lover you are and what you’re looking for in a relationship

An optical illusion that can allegedly reveal what type of lover you are is making its way around the internet.

The piece of artwork – which has four different paintings intertwined into one – can reportedly depict what you’re looking for in a relationship – based on which of the four paintings you see first. 

According to relationship and wellness brand Your Tango, ‘When the mind is unable to find a definitive answer to a question, it chooses what it wants to see.

What the first thing you saw in the optical illusion says about you 

  • Profile of an older man: You are looking for a long-term relationship
  • Man riding a horse: Your heart is hard to tame
  • Woman laying by a river: You’ve been hurt by love in the past
  • Stone archway over a river: You’re looking for someone who enjoys adventure

‘It is in this act of choosing that certain definitive things about our perspectives and our unique attributes are revealed.’ 

Based on which figure catches your eye first, the outlet can reportedly tell whether you’re the type of person who looks at the ‘big picture’ when it comes to love, if you’ve been hurt before, or if you need attention from your partner on a ‘near-constant basis.’

Take a look at the optical illusion yourself, and find out what the first thing you saw in it says about your love life. 

The profile of an older man 

Your Tango reported that if the first thing you saw in the optical illusion was the profile of an older man, it most likely means that you're currently on the hunt for a long-term relationship

Your Tango reported that if the first thing you saw in the optical illusion was the profile of an older man, it most likely means that you’re currently on the hunt for a ‘long-term, fulfilling’ relationship, or someone to ‘build a life’ with, rather than just a fling. 

According to the outlet, people who saw the old man first ‘long to be swept off their feet’ but want someone who will put in the ‘time, effort, energy, and hard work that real love requires.’ 

‘While you might appreciate the sentiment of romantic gestures, the truth is that you are far more likely to be wooed successfully by someone who’s willing to put in the time, effort, energy, and hard work that real love requires, just as you are willing to do for them,’ it wrote. 

The company added that people who saw the old man first tend to ‘never lose sight of the big picture,’ and know that there’s more to love than little gifts and sweet compliments.

On the other hand, if the first thing you saw in the photo was a man riding a horse, the company claimed that it means your ‘heart can be a tough one to tame’ and that you want your lovers attention at all times.

Your Tango also wrote that people who saw the cowboy first will often overlook something that’s right in front of their eyes – because they’re busy searching for something better.

‘You have a natural tendency to continue looking over your partner’s shoulder, just in case the real person of your dreams suddenly appears,’ it explained.

‘Do not risk letting a good one get away, as it could very well turn out that is who’s been right there in front of you waiting to be noticed this entire time!’ 

A girl lying down by a river 

If the first thing you saw in the painting was a woman lying down by a river, Your Tango wrote that you've most likely been hurt by love in the past

If the first thing you saw in the painting was a woman lying down by a river, Your Tango wrote that you’ve most likely been hurt by love in the past.

‘While you have a great propensity for giving your heart away, you’re growing increasingly skittish and wary as time moves on,’ it said.

Although you may feel like you’re just about ready to give up on love, the outlet added that it’s important to remember that ‘it is a gift to be loved by you.’

‘Don’t give up until you find someone who understands exactly how lucky they are to have found you, too,’ it added. 

The company claimed that the people who spotted the lady laying by the river are usually the type of people who ‘feel heartache deeply’ and ‘love intensely.’

If the first thing you spotted in the optical illusion was a stone archway overlooking a river, the brand claimed it means you want someone who enjoys 'exploration and adventure'

Finally, if the first thing you spotted in the optical illusion was a stone archway overlooking a river, the brand claimed that it means you have a ‘wild and dreaming heart’ that is ‘difficult to tame.’

It explained that you love the idea of falling in love, but have yet to find the right partner who enjoys ‘exploration and adventure’ as much as you do.

‘While you are absolutely a unique and wild spirit, that doesn’t mean you should either expect or desire to go through this life all on your own,’ Your Tango wrote.
