Attraction - Blog This!

| 0 Comments
Hey guys.  This was Sarah Jentz's blog this option.

I chose it because attraction is something that's an important topic for all of us, and you should know exactly what goes into it.


I found a link that talked about why Oprah is beautiful and where she bought her lingerie.  I thought it was worth an honorable mention, but I don't think it's really worth looking into, personally.

The above link is Sarah's original link.  It's certainly worth looking through and commenting about. It covers a lot of good information such as symmetry in faces, hip to waist ratios, the fact that a 10 does not go for a 3 (usually), and the halo effect (real scientific name - honestly).  These were all things I learned about in my Social Psych class (hint hint - take it!).

But that is mostly about physical beauty and attraction.  There has to be more to it than that! Oh, there is.  But superficiality does have some perks . . . Below is a link about how a website has recently aided psychologists in learning more about attraction.

Now that we're past the looks, read through this website's article titled, "When Do We Fall in Love?"  ( http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/in-the-name-love/200809/when-do-we-fall-in-love ).


Please go through all websites and talk about something that interests you and point out that which you did not know.  If you would like, please provide other sites - particularly dealing with non-physical means to attraction.  (Hint - We like people who are more like us.)

Again, great find, Sarah.
