Relationship Chameleons

At the start of every relationship there is a certain amount of what is called “compromise” as people make changes from singledom to living as a couple.

For those that have been on their own for a long period of time, the transition is somewhat more arduous and in many cases the lack of flexibility or inability to adjust can be the downfall of what potentially could have been a fruitful union.

Then again, there are some people, like chameleons, who have no difficulty adapting themselves to suit the situation in which they find themselves. In the main, I would suggest these type of people are relationship nomads, they dont have any strict routine or sense of purpose in their lives.

So, the question is.........
Do relationship chameleons offer a better prospect of a longer lasting, worthwhile relationship.... Or not?

The chameleons r normally shallow and will be found out eventually. (Bad relationship material - my opinion)
Obviously so, since as you say, they have no problem adapting.

The thing about those 20+ year relationships is both parties realize the compromise has to be life long and the concept of being in a good relationship is worth it. Those who lack the wisdom to realize that, well their relationships never last that long.
The older we get the less flexible we become!
We all have our habits and do not want to change them. That's the reason why most of them prefer to stay in their own house rather than moving in together.

I don't think that chameleons are likely to last longer. They only change their colours to adapt temporarily with the environment.
I accept what has been said above, however, if the chameleon is looking for a lasting relationship to adapt too, could it not be said that they would make someone a good partner as they have no specific requirements of their own?
The chameleon sounds like the partner who when asked what she/he would like to do or what restaurant to go to would reply with the question "I don't know. What would you like?" No thanks.
They may not have any specific requirements but a chameleon doesn't only change its colours to blend in with its surroundings but also according to the temperature and its moods.

Who wants to live with a chameleon ? I DO NOT!scold
Hey come on.. please be honest only once.....

arent we all chameleons even in our real life... not only in our relationship,... at work, to our friends, to relatives even sometimes to ourself..

And i do not think it is bad at all since it is just a short period for self defence.. cool
I agree with Cog.here.
CS is an example with all our various avatars. laugh
The word chameleon alone connotes deception. I thought everybody agreed to be oneself. Just hard to pretend for a long time!bouquet
I see we have chameleon haters in the house. popcorn playball
Hi Solamente,

I quess, if two people decide for a relationship and when they both want the same things in any case and situation, a chameleon will ruin this again. But, if one of both wants different things than the other, the attitude of a chameleon could be helpful for both.
Chameleons can't be with chameleons or they will be tartan with polka dots. I guess the answer is to find someone real who turns them into someone they like being and stick with it. Good luck to all chameleons!

Stuck at airport with dwindling free minutes no whatsapp or Skype and dying battery oh I love travelling.

I would very much like a chameleon to pick me up right now as they ARE good company short term
I'm very easy to get on with..no drama in my place...I don't do drama..if they don't fit into my life style...10 ft and you're at the door..thanks for the time you spent with me..good luck.

cheers
I agree with Ian.(hope you're sitting down) laugh Real life drama is too draining. thumbs down
Chameleons are very clever animals (I love them) they can escape from preditorsgrin just by a little blending. Now as to people chameleons also very clever can escape from preditorsgrin without scratchlaugh I would say they have no fixed patterens as they would find same as same as every day boring, plenty of time to be boring when old (thats if you want) PLEASE older peeps dont get mad at me I am an OLDER CHAMELEONS rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing scold but chameleons are not shallow just very adaptable peace
