Posted: 6/17/2009 5:24:52 PM | For me.. it can.. and has.
My last relationship, when I first met him.. I remember staring at him and thinking "nope" lol.. but we started to hang out as friends, spent time together, and eventually that "nope" turned into me seeing him as one of the most gorgeous guys.. So yes.. it can grow. It's about personality. Of course.. you have to be able to look at the person without being repulsed lol.. and if that's the case, then I do believe the physical attraction can grow if you really fall for who they are.. | |

Posted: 6/17/2009 5:48:58 PM | Yes it can. I saw a documentary with ten couples, five were madly in love with each other and five that were very unhappy with each other. Researchers took a picture of each of them, then using a computer altered each picture. Making a more attractive version of each photo and a less attractive version of each photo. Then they asked each person to view all three pictures (more attractive, actual and less attractive) version of their mate and choose the picture of their mate that they think most closely resembles them. In every instance the couples who were madly in love picked the "nicer version" photo of their mate, while all of the couples who were unhappy choose the "less attractive" photos when asked to pick which picture was their mate. When we truly love someone we see them as better looking than they really are, and when we fall out of love we see our mate as less attractive than they are.
That's why we say "I don't know what I ever saw in him/her" once we fall out of love.
It's funny how the mind works. | |
