Why some people aren't necessarily attractive at first glance but after some time of you getting used to them you find them appealing?

For example if you're friends with a person and at first glance their appearance didn't do much to you but over the time you started getting used to their image and they start become appealing to you?

Usually it's because the person isn't very attractive to the judger. Not likely disgusting looking/below average to the judger. But maybe the person has certain characteristics about them that take some getting used to in order to fully appreciate them? Or maybe they're just average in looks to the judger & the judger needs more reasons to be attracted to them?

That always seemed perfectly natural and intuitive to me. We start to get used to them and develop attachments.

For example, I used to think pugs were the ugliest dogs. Their faces looked like monsters to me as a boy snorting and grunting. But my family got one for a pet and after I started to play with him and cuddle him, I started to think he was the cutest dog in the world, like "ugly-cute". Also maybe being able to hold him and touch him and not just see him helped me to find him so cute.

But that's always been the case for me if I start to get along with a person that initially didn't seem attractive that they will start to become more and more attractive over time.

Like anyone who finds this as ugly as I used to do:

... should try holding him/her, watching him her play, roll around, eat, jump up on your lap, and I suspect most people who started off thinking he/she was so ugly will start to find the dog so incredibly cute and irresistible to hold and pet. You might, like me, even start to think pugs are one of the cutest dogs in the world after that.

Yes, I met somebody in college. She was just average looking but after I gotvtonknow her , she was quirky and funny and I thought she was cute. Then I began to fall in love with her. I look at a picture of her now and wonder what I saw in her in the first place
