9 37. most everyone has something attractive about them naturally. However to feel chemistry with some is different. Since I met my 17 years ago I haven't been attracted to anyone else. But sow me someone ugly and I'll show you something attractive about them. Show me who you consider most attractive and I will show u something ugly
You should know when you see that person
Thinking someone is attractive is subjective where as being attracted to someone is more of an involuntary thing. It's a bit more emotional or reactionary.
Nothing
It's all about perspective.
Physical attraction and emotional attraction
It's like the difference between.. a) That attractive guy would be perfect for my single hot friend. And b) I want that guy
That's an interesting and simple way to look at it, I like that!
I am an interesting and simple guy. ;)
She hitted that yeet
Yes there is a difference. I have female friends that i know are absolutley stunning, but i have no attraction. Thinking someone is attractive is down purely to aesthetics. Being attracted is a little deeper. There is some emotional connection there
This is a great answer, thank you! Do you think in order to protect the friendship you won't allow yourself to be attracted to them? Like you have control over it getting deeper.
No I don't think so. Have been in a situation where i have started to feel a bit more (didn't go well!) But sometimes the romantic element just isn't there. Maybe there could be a bit of this is all it could be, but for me, if something was there i think i would have felt it
Fair enough, thanks for the insight!
Thinking that someone is attractive is think they look pretty/hot/handsome and being attracted is wanting to be with them
l only wish to have the girl l need lots of love
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
hum like your pic. you are simply beautful. i think that is attractive to me and yet i do not know anything about you so that showing the difference you ask
Being attracted to them means to want them, whereas finding someone attractive is to believe they look good
I think it's the same
Recognizing someone is attractive you just like their looks and when you're attracted to someone you like their personality and looks combined
You can be attracted to a homeless person when it comes to being attracted to a person you are home just drawn to them. Also you don't always have to be attracted to an attractive person. A woman can find another woman attractive but that doesn't make her gay. You understand?
Both is same for me
In short if you think someone is attractive you don't want to fuck them
In first you seeng what you like, in second you think how someone perceiving you.
If there is a lot of sexual chemistry with out everything but just talking that's a good sign that there is more
