Guest Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I have been woundering lately about attraction. I always believed there as either romantic attraction or physical attraction. However i think there may be more types of attraction other than the 2 specified. Does anyone else share this view? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sweetbitter Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 They say that there are 4 types of attraction: sexual, romantic, sensual and aesthetic. For me it makes sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most celebrities have nice face but do I want to have sex with them? NO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chair jockey Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm in the minority here, because I think attraction is just one thing that has a variety of specifics. What attracts you about another person, and how it interacts with the way you are, is what causes us to think that there are many distinct types of attraction. To us they all feel different, and the differences affect what we want and what we do, but how they work is fundamentally the same. And because attractions are so specific and case-by-case, trying to categorize them as distinct types of things can be a nightmare. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with that, but I think when it comes to explaining it it's just easier to go with specific labels a lot of the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I find labels useful only when talking to people who aren't interested in the details. And note I don't mean identity, I mean labels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
