I agree... at the risk of sounding old fashioned, I think it's true... even if the woman wants the guy to advance things, I still think that they shouldn't.... people always get hurt, 99 percent of the time someone has a differing set of expectations.......

I don't think this is always true.

I do think, though, that men and women tend to use the term 'attraction' differently. Women are more likely to factor in the 'liking' part. We are less likely to consider someone attractive if we don't like their personality.

This underlies the apparent huge disparity between what % of women het men say they are attracted to and the % of men het women say.

I've always heard that men fall in love with women they are attracted to; women grow to become more attracted to men they fall in love with.
This is not true, IME. Guys I know are attracted to many women they do not fall in love with . And I don't think I can fall in love with a person I am not attracted to.

If the food on the plate looks bad, would you eat it just to see if it'll taste good?
If it tastes good, wouldn't you just keep eating?
If the food on the plate is presented well, would you apt to taste it to see if it tastes good?
If it tastes bad, would you continue to eat it?
Oh, and just how hungry are you?

I don't have to be attracted to a woman if I'm only interested in sex, but physical attraction is necessary for a relationship. Sexual attraction is different for most men. I can look at an overweight woman and not be physically attracted to her at all, but her sexuality and the idea of what she's probably willing to do in the bedroom is where the sexual attraction comes in for me.

So you would sleep with a woman you're not physically attracted to?

Yes he would as would a ton of other men given the right circumstances. I don't want to get into the semantics of it, but yes it happens a lot.

Absolutely true, physical attraction is just that, it's not in any way (actually that's not true, there are some ways) a representation of personality or how a woman is as a person.






....Wait what, what do you mean until "after"? Until after sex? False.

I often think about that, is attraction and repulsion really related to sexual function? They are related, but sexual function is not only determined by that since the pleasure from sex can be isolated from the sense of sight.
