Relationship Theories
-
Attraction Theory
The attraction theory holds that you develop relationships on the basis of such factors as physical appearance and personality.
You will mostly like people who are physically attractive over those who are unattractive. 
People who live or work close to you will be more attractive rather than those who live further away.
I would be experiencing this theory if I was attracted to people who look similar to me or kind of like me.
Men are more interested in a girls physical attributes rather than her socioeconomic status. They like to find girls who are socioeconomically worse than them.
You will find yourself attracted to other people who are attracted to you.
Social Exchange Theory
It tries to answer the question of why some relationships develop and last and others do not. It is based on an economic model of profits and losses.
-
Costs are those things that you normally try to avoid, things that are difficult or unpleasant.
Profits = Rewards - Costs
People seek to develop the relationships that will give you the greatest profit.
If I had to buy a date that would be an example of a cost.
-
Equity Theory
It tries to answer the same question as social exchange theory and uses the concepts of social exchange.
It claims that you develop and maintain relationships in which your ratio of rewards to costs is approximately equal to your partners.
It can be seen online if you respond you expect a response back, or if you get poked you should poke them back.
The society that I am in believes in having similar equity between the two people.
