Is There A Law on Human Attraction?

Are you aware of the expression “opposites attract?" It is a law of attraction, at least where magnetism that is produced by electric currents is concerned. But delving deeper in this subject, are there laws about attraction between two people? “In a world that is full of strangers," a line in a song of the eighties, is an accepted set of rules that insists two people fall for each other?

Is attraction between two people just a matter of chemistry?

Perhaps, but science tells us that the attraction between animals of opposing ginder comes from chemicals, scientifically called "pheromones." However, the effects of this chemical compound in the behavior of insects is most reported. Futhermore, observations have indicated in some experiments indicate that pheromones bear responsibility for communication within some species as well as coloration of ants. Horrible odors that are emitted by several animals, primarily skunks, is thought to be a type of pheromone. Some species of apes rub pheromone-containing urine on the feet of possible mates.. There is some belief in the scientific world that animals, normally female, primarily ants and some mammals, transmit these particular chemicals to tempt males of the species of differing genes. The purpose of establishing different genes is an important part of producing higher quality offspring with superior survival characteristics. As an aside, the perfume industry attempts to capitalize on pheromones by ostensibly enhancing attraction to the opposite sex. Certain animals, such as the whale and musk deer, have been sidely hunted in an attempt to obtain these chemicals.

As of late, science is searching for the existence of human pheromones and the function they have in selecting a mate. Conflicting views have arisen within the different fields of study, including biology, chemistry, genetics and psychology. Asserted by most scientists, the existence of pheromones do exist in humans. Also stated is that they play little or no role in establishing an attraction between man and woman. Late research conducted by Swiss researchers at the University of Bern are slowly but surely bringing about some rethinking by the scientific world. The experiments were recorded that involved women, during their ovulation period, smelling the cotton shirts of different men. Women seemed to prefer the scent of shirts that were, perhaps, genetically different. But their preferences did exist with men with similar genes. Much the same as with insects and mammals, perhaps this similarity of genes would result in a healthy quality of offspring. Researchers also cautioned that fondness for a male odor is affected by the women’s ovulation period. It was also discovered that the food that men eat had an effect on results, as well as perfumes and other scented body products,. Not the least to effect total results was the use of contraceptive pills.

Is personality part and parcel of true sexual attraction?

Perhaps, but so do the personality traits of a potential suitor. Researth conducted by renowned therapist group, Klohnen, in the year 2003 would so indicate. Specifically, interpersonal attraction and disposition, singular sense of security and, at the minimum, the personal perception of his or her tentative partner was discovered to be most powerful in determing attraction in a situation which exists only in theory. What is the underlying foundation telling us? Simply, we generally desire a specific type, and this desire is very powerful in attraction. Putting aside the true personality of a person, this is verifiable only with intimate interaction over time But aside from the actual personality of the person, which can only be assured through close interaction through time, perception of a potential mate is what really attracts. The question is, therefore, does the person claiming your affection is actually the preferred personality or not. In far too many instances of failed relationships, the statement rings loud and clear, "I really thought that he or she was truly this or that kind of person."

If attraction is a noteworthy matter under discussion, how does it fit into a relationship?

Probably it has come to your attention that attraction is the necessary overture required by relationships. Particularly in the first part of a relationship, attraction will not necessarly cause a relationship to succeed or fail. Pure attraction is what requires you to take note of a person of the opposite sex. But whenever you know the person better, attraction is only one consideration. Singularity of values, dreams and passions are uniquely significant in establishing a long and lasting relationsh

The sixty four dollar question is, of course, "Should I just stop trying to be attractive?"

To be a likeable person, it is imperative to go beyond achieving pure physical attractiveness. All facets of your being are equally important. Make an effort to improve your health, emotions, mentality and spiritual ambience with equal effort. All said, physical attraction is still the most important precedent. Never forget that biology always requires choosing a partner with obvious heallthy genes. Wnenever emotions are involved, simply ask yourself if you choose to spend a lifetime with someone that is insecure about himself or herself? I would suspect not! Wisdom is the knowledge that you have of your own self ... your beliefs, your values, your dreams. And in all instances, never pretend to be someone other than yourself. Giving a false impression of yourself by pretending that you have similar or same values, thoughts and beliefs will eventually cause painful disappointment. Whenever you attain good health in all areas, your attractive quotient is of unsurmountable importance. As mentioned earlier, self-security is an important sense of yourself and probably more important the basic attraction. Of most importance, however, is that all these things are for yourself and not others. Only at that time will you truly become an attractive person. The decision is up to you.
