Well I'm wired up all wrong thenandrewclunn wrote:Attraction is subconscious, but there's no reason to think that our subconscious reasons for being attracted to someone are different from what we consciously want. Is having a money a plus? Yes, so more money = more attraction. Is physical health a plus? Yes, so a strong healthy physique is attractive. You can do the same for protectiveness / strength, parenting skills and intelligence. You're a biological machine. The only irrational parts of attraction are the heuristics, where we developed a preference based on correlating traits that no longer correlate.
