rainhorse68 answered Friday February 15 2013, 9:13 am: There's many a wise saying about not judging by appearance, not 'judging a book by it's cover' etc. But in the usual course of human interaction, it's the first point of reference, and in the case of the majority of people we see it's the ONLY one we'll ever have. Physical attraction is just that, we see something attracting and desirable in the 'physical' appearance of another person. It needs or implies no knowledge of the character, personality or circumstances of the other person. A double edged sword. We could be physically attracted to a nameless stranger, or we could have opposite-sex (or same-sex, where this applies...) friends of long standing for whom we hold no feelings of physical attraction. It implies a sexual dynamic, but it may not be acknowledged as such by one or both parties. It can be shaded quite unconciously, or conciously. It is superficial, but that does NOT mean trivial or lacking in power. [ rainhorse68's advice column | Ask rainhorse68 A Question ]
