That sounds profound. But I have no idea what you mean. Can you give me an example?



Well say you meet somebody and you find them physically attractive but then you learn more about them as person and you decide you don't like who they are as person you find yourself no longer physically attracted to them cause you've made the choice not to be.

You didn't make the choice. It's innate. You make the choice whether or not to continue being that person but who you are and aren't attracted to isn't something you can just change your mind on back and forth as much as you want.

I see. But the loss of attraction is due to non physical variables. You still have hard wiring toward the physical traits that first attracted you to her. So, the next girl with those same physical traits will attract you.

During my 3 years of dating between marriages I kept getting the same argument from friends.

Friend: Ya gotta ask this girl out. She's really smart. She's really sweet. She's got a great personality.

Me: She's overweight.

Friend: Why do you discriminate against girls who are a little overweight?

Me: I don't. But Mr. Pooter does.
