The psychology of Attraction: Why do we like someone ?

Most of us have felt it.

You go about your day and life, unsuspecting, and then it hits you. All it takes is a look, a smile, a smell. And you’re toasted! It’s the most amazing thing. 
I asked my friends n best viewpoint I liked is:

"I normally like someone or want to be around ( in the first place) when I feel positive vibes around the person, . Question is how would I know?"
                                                    Demi

 
Long back I met this girl  posted to my place....n boom I'm  gone......n still hanginng out with her
What is it that made us click .....is it some neuro transmitter which matched the frequency and then brains get flooded in chemicals that keep pulling us closer to that person.

According to neurologists who have researched it, the brain of someone who gets fatal attraction looks a lot like a brain of a heroin addict! Some signs  which can help are

1. Your stomach flutters

Those matchmaker chemicals are busy again, this time releasing adrenaline into your veins so that when it is released, you get all the ‘feels.’  And if the chemistry is making its reaction as  first sight trick on you, you can expect powerful butterflies.

2. It feels as though you’ve met them before

3. Nerves kick in when you are around them

looking at this person makexpect

 stutter or feel your nerves prickling sign 

4. You are confused by your reaction

You are drawn to this person, and you just don’t know why because they are far from your ‘norm,’ but you are so attracted to then


5. You are compelled to talk to them

 You have an   unstoppable desire  to go and speak to them, despite being a  wreck. 


6. You can’t get them out of your mind


7. You smile thinking about them

8. You feel your heart facing

9. You get a sudden urge to see/ meet them

10. You find them extremely attractively




There r various reasons but these five...aspects have root into abovementioned aspects

Proximity: How near you are to someone and how often you see them


Similarity: how like you they are, for example, do you share similar interests or valued


Reciprocity: we’re more likely to like people who like us

Physical Attractiveness: are they pleasing to look at as per your parameters

Familiarity: we like people who seem comfortable to us

This seems familiar

Most of these factors have in the past been attributed with how we’ve evolved as humans. We are attracted to those who seem familiar to us, as familiarity provides predictability and safety.

So for example, if someone in your family or group of friends that you grew up with was really funny, and you enjoy their company, you might be likely to be more attracted to funny people when you grow up, because it’s something that you’re used to.

These factors can also be linked. Like proximity and familiarity: if you see someone every day, you’re likely going to get used to their company over time, until it gets to a point where you’re very comfortable with them and it would feel strange not having them around.


Don’t stand so close to me

Proximity has always been, and to some extent still is, considered the most important part of why we’re attracted to someone, or even why we’re friends with someone.

If you look at people who use Facebook for example you still find the people they would claim to be their best friends tend to be in close proximity to them. 

Dating apps have gone some way to change this however. Where in the past you might have been limited to the people in your immediate circle or community to pick a date from, now you have hundreds upon thousands of more options.


Technology has “changed the way that we interact with people and the number of people that we can potentially be attracted to”, as now we can swipe through hundreds of potential friends every few minutes.


Whatever said still whatever age you are once in a while these butterflies in your stomach makes you feel alive. ..so IT'S  STILL FUN TO LIVE 


 

No restriction of age
not the bond of lives
when someone loves
 should see only the soul
by carving new trend
 Make the trend immortal

  1. Human brain may have it's reactions but our minds.....they think they are smarter and can manipulate or control or manage the instinctive signals or reactions they receive... And while most can successfully manage, some make a mess too.. Brain power ๐Ÿ˜‡

  2. We all get compelling attraction to various things/persons since our childhood ... This may be due to some stimulation, Interest etc..Some of these bonds loose out very soon as they don't match with our expectations... But when we have familiarity in emotions, Interest and thinking, it becomes a true bond....

  4. Attraction towards someone or something needs harmony of vibes and thoughts... We get attracted to someone we have never met bcz our mind connects with the frequency of the person..

  6. Nicely penned. But the article is not in tune with your age. When mid life crisis should be striking you and u should be stuck in existential angst, you suddenly have become very romantic!! Most men buy a new bike, a new car, go for marathons, climb Everest, change jobs etc or fall.prey to affairs. Ye sudden pyaar kaise??๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚a new form of defence mechanism?
