does physical attraction always comes first before emotional connection? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. leizlmarie (2487)   ranked 712 out of 38,485 in life1 year ago

physical attraction usually happens fast even just at one glance to a person.. and looking for the emotional connection is not as easy though until you take the first step of having conversation with the person, usually finding something in common that both can relate!

is that always the situation? physical attraction before emotional connection? or are there also instances where emotional connection is noticed or felt first before the physical stuff? what do you think?

just asking=)

I don't think it's possible to have an emotional banding at first sight, people neem only an instant to judge eachother on appearances they don't even have to be aware of that. I do think that even if you are not psychically attracted you can get to know people and start feeling an emotional connection and change your mind about their looks and fall in love with them.
Take care, have a great day!

I think the same way! Once you have the emotional connection and really care about someone, looks change. Beauty really is in the eyes of the beholder.

you have a point there cyberfluf! its like, one is beautiful because you love that person, and not you love the person because he/she is beautiful!

thanks for that point! take care and have a great day too!=)

It depends really. I had no physical attraction with the person I was emotionally connected with before. We met through a friend and the first time we went out (together with the friend) we just clicked and talked i dunno about 5 or more hours straight probably, and this was until the wee hours of the morning. But with some other people, yeah physical attraction did come first.


myLot reputation of 92/100. leizlmarie (2487)   ranked 712 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

think so, it really depends.. so we can't conclude what comes first in this matter..

thanks for sharing a bit of your story! have a nice day!

there are people that believe in 'love at first sight'
others argue 'how can you love someone without knowing them?'
i think that people do initially fall for the physical attraction and generally make an assumption on what the person is like!


myLot reputation of 92/100. leizlmarie (2487)   ranked 712 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

i like the phrase "initially fall for the physical attraction".. hehe.. yup, you're also right there!

thanks for the response!=)

It depends on the circumstances. If the other person is a stranger then physicak attraction plays a major role in meeting and requesting a date. While if the other person works with you or in some other way communicates with you in your daily life then physical attraction is not the first thing, then it is more about personality.

got your point there!

well well! firstly i think that u have put this topic in the righ place. talking about physical attraction (myself having quite a decent amount of medical knowledge and coming from a family of doctors) i would like to say that it is an outcome of sudden hormonal changes that take place in the individuals body when he/she watches his/her counterpart. Its all an outcome of some specific bodily features that they lack in them and which attracts them ............ for instance the broad chest of a man or the smooth skin of a female. But according to studies its been found that the males are rather more physically attracted (to possibly every other girl he meets) than the females(who are more stable and choose their counterpart male). So to speak in scientific terms - YES, it is the physical attraction which comes first in most of the instances- emotional connections depend on the specific individual and his bodily desires! Have a nice day and do give me a rating/reply as to how did u like my comment........!


myLot reputation of 92/100. leizlmarie (2487)   ranked 712 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

oh you got scientific explanation here!

and i'll quote from your response "but according to studies its been found that the males are rather more physically attracted than the females". so does it depends on gender too? or does it depends on the person itself regardless of gender? actually i also read an article i don't know if it is applicable here but it says most women need emotional connection first more than just a physical attraction in a relationship. they even need more than just physical attraction just to accept to go on a date.

thanks for that intelligent response! have a nice day ahead!=)

I think emotional feelings first before physical attraction.
Cause the emotional is really important than physical.But it
would be easy if it has both..then you really fall hehehe


myLot reputation of 92/100. leizlmarie (2487)   ranked 712 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

oh yah, that's true, emotional is more important than physical!

I believe in most cases yes,physical attraction first before emotional.There are even some that they just have physical attraction for each other and no emotional feelings at all.Some can have relationship physically without emotions but its always nice to have emotionally attached with each other.Its wonderful to be physically attracted with each other and then things will develope into love.Thats what always happened.


myLot reputation of 92/100. leizlmarie (2487)   ranked 712 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

i agree with you though that there are those into a relationship but plainly physical attraction alone without emotional connection at all just to satisfy some desires! but that very seldom happens, i believe and i hope so!

thanks for dropping here! have a nice day=)

I think emotional connections are the most strongest. I rather have somebody who understands me than a pretty face to look at.


myLot reputation of 92/100. leizlmarie (2487)   ranked 712 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

emotional connection will always dominate in a relationship, i hope!
