Attraction is Not a Choice
Written on Sunday, 13 of June, 2010 at 11:20 am
I read somewhere that ‘attraction is not a choice’. As human beings that descended from cavemen and apes, we are all genetically hard-wired to respond in certain way to very basic characteristics in others. Attraction all comes down to S&R value – survival and replication – survival being your quality of life and replication being your chances of reproduction.
Females will typically be attracted to males with a high S value. If he has the athleticism to Karate-chop anyone that dares to harm you and the brains to make money to buy you a nice home, he will be good for your S needs – regardless of whether or not he doesn’t use enough acne solutions. Males, on the other hand, will instinctively be attracted to a woman with high R value. R represents his chances of reproducing his genes. If she’s got a healthy body, she’ll do – a lot of times regardless of whether or not she’s as dumb as a plank.
Is this all we need to know when it comes to developing a happy and healthy relationship with someone you’re attracted to? Absolutely not. A lot of times we are swayed by people who do not meet the S&R mandate, and we do things for them that are plainly in direct contradiction to our survival and replication chances. As Oscar Wilde once said, the mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.
