"what's your theory on attraction between strangers?"
Tue Jun-02-15 10:57 AM by Deadzombie

          

my long-running theory was that from birth, our brains are constantly evaluating each and every face that we come in contact with.

we take the inventory of faces and attach a measurement of pleasure and pain associated with that face. everyone, your teachers, cab drivers, baby sitters, obnoxious strangers. everyone.

so, after a while we have this subconscious, enormous inventory of faces that we have a lot relative data on. and when we come in contact with a new face, we make an immediate assessment of attraction.

...

I'm thirty two years old.

I JUST realized this theory is dumb as shit.

some people are more into physical appearance than others. Those people will make a judgment/assessment whether conscious or subconscious.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

and you might be right.

but there's gotta be more to it than - i like big tits = i like her.

some studies are done on face alone.

you like big noses?

And it goes beyond the physical attractiveness of someones face and body. It's how they carry themselves, smile, dress, hair, etc.

I saw a woman today who was with her man and he was carrying her umbrella and she snapped at him about something and I was just like "damn I don't like you".

there's some sucker-for-love ass folks, who make the immediate judgement about being in 'love/like' with someone. reality be damned.

and then you have normal people.

writing "we were meant to be" on someone's walls in blood. Hopefully, not theirs.

Kim never angry kardashian is a perfect example of a woman who has totally embraced this. Kanye could do the worlds rudest dumbest thing or tell her to wear the dumbest outfit. She never never never expresses anger. It is the exact opposite of sexy in most male brains.

a constant appraisal of aesthetic vs experience. It works for attraction and things in general. You act what you believe.

Some folks think it's staged. But I do wonder if folks do these type things and end up realizing they're attracted to someone right away, vs some being like "ugh, nahhh" even if they're physically attracted to them.

or i've just assumed i'm attracted to dudes i think are hot b/c...i think they're hot.

i've done enough stuff w/randoms (like literal dudes i didn't know until minutes/seconds before the doing) but i haven't wondered why i did it. beyond, you know, being a horny dude.

fuck you.

The measurements between eyes, eyes to nose, lips etc ppl find most attractive.

Mutual attraction is different but has also bee studied to death.

I have no theories. It's not something I spend a lot of time thinking about.
