I don't really think it's that simple.

I think it's about that weird thing people (not women) do that makes them attracted to strangers but not friends. I find it mentioned everywhere, both online and offline.

I think that's what anon is experiencing too.

I really don't understand why people just lose all attraction as soon as mysteriousness is no longer a factor. And I've seen it happen with my own damn eyes, to me AND others.

I don't get it.

It's as if as soon as I become readily available to anyone, I suddenly become much more worthless and disposable too... Suddenly every other aspect of theif life takes priority and I'm number last. I guess because other things are only available conditionally whereas I'm pretty much always available? Idk.

Also if I'm not interested in someone, that someone always wants to interact. It's as if life constantly works to spite me.

Edit: I'm so glad I didn't get downvoted to oblivion...I feel so validated. Thanks y'all...

Getting to know people better can change your feelings about them... sometimes it makes them more attractive and sometimes less. I don't know if anyone has found me less attractive after getting to know me but I've certainly had that happen with girls I've been attracted to.

If it's a common experience for you it's probably worth exploring whether or not it's a you problem, and if so if it's something you can and should correct. There's no shortage of crappy, shallow people so maybe not but being introspective and honest with yourself is always good for you.

I usually need to get to know someone before they are attractive. I describe it as me being greedy, i want the full package not just one that looks nice.

I don't think that's greedy, I think that's pretty normal.

I need to see how a person interacts in conversation to be attracted to them, as i am far more attracted to mannerisms and values than looks. A cute face is great, I couldn't care much about body as long as a person is relatively healthy (this is a very broad range for me).

Strange that someone down-voted you for this.

[-] 87Six@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

I had to live 1/3rd of the time for 2 years with someone to realize I liked them myself, so yea, same

worth exploring whether or not it’s a you problem

idk, I am pretty weird, and not in a good "quirky" way...
