Hello, Does anybody else not find someone attractive, but tell themselves they find them attractive anyway, and then over time of saying 'X is attractive for Z reason...' they eventually find them actually attractive. It's happened with me for a few celebrities, and I find it really weird. And if anyone's scientific, why, in terms of science, does this happen? Or am I just really weird? Thank-you.
No but I have found some of my friends much more attractive once I got to know them compared to before knowing them. Also, paradoxically, one close friend is becoming objectively speaking less attractive but my perception of his attractiveness has not changed. I only noticed after I saw some old pictures of him.
You are just really weird. I am kidding though, of course. We all have little quirks like that. That kind of thing just makes you special. I mean, not all of us can simply force ourselves to find someone attractive by saying they are, I think that is kind of impressive actually. There were a couple of awesome girls in my life that wanted to date me, and I turned them down. I did not only turn them down because I wasn't attracted to them, but if I could have done what you just described, maybe I could have gave them a chance. I don't do science all that well though. I will leave that to my betters.
