"Opposites attract" is a law of attraction, at least where electromagnetism is concerned. But are there laws about attraction between two people? Is there a clear set of rules that allows two people to fall for each other? Some scientists believe that animals (usually the females) such as insects and mammals send out these chemical signals to tell the male of their species that their genes are different from theirs. The perfume industry has capitalized on pheromones as a means to increase one's sexual attractiveness to the opposite sex. New researches involved women sniffing the cotton shirts of different men during their ovulation period. It was found out that women prefer the smell of men's shirts that were genetically different, but also shared similarities with the women's genes.
We prefer a certain personality type, which attracts you to a person. But aside from the actual personality of the person, which can only be verified through close interaction through time, it is your perception of your potential partner that attracts you to him/her.
So how does attraction figure in relationships?
Most probably, at least in the beginning; but attraction alone cannot make a relationship work. It is that attraction that makes you notice a person from the opposite sex, but once you get to know the person more, attraction is just one consideration. Shared values, dreams, and passions become more significant in long-term relationships.
So should you stop trying to become attractive?
More than trying to become physically attractive, work on all aspects of your health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Physical attraction is still a precursor. There is wisdom in knowing yourself: who you are, your beliefs, harnessing your attraction power values, and dreams. And do not pretend to be someone you are not. When you are healthy in all aspects, attractiveness becomes a consequence and not an end. :)
