Some years back, there was a woman in my workplace who had competed in a Miss Italy competition and had performed quite well in it. Now, for some reason, she had a crush on me, despite the fact that I'm not a physically appealing man: logically speaking, if we were to pair her off with a gentleman based on looks, you'd expect her to be interested in a very handsome man; however, IMO and based on my observations, such thinking is shortsighted. Thus, IMO, it makes sense that there are many variables to account for when considering the phenomenon of romantic attraction.
1) No offence intended but I find it funny how you type like a cyborg who discovered humans last week. I just mean you type very consistantly in an unemotional way, and in an observational way towards humans.
2) I question your not being physically appealing, I just read in another thread you were describing a work out regime and it sounds fairly impressive to me. Also what's appealing is subjective. Generally speaking though some sort of physical fitness is appealing.
3) The bit I agree with is there are many variables to account for in romantic attraction.
I appreciate your directness and candor, sir.
Your point about "physically appealing" being subjective is well-taken. To clarify, my personal/subjective usage of "physically appealing" in my previous post was in reference to the male equivalent to her appearance: she got hit on all the time and flirted with, whereas my personal experience with such encounters is quite limited.
