Is it possible to develop a physical attraction to someone over time, even if that attraction wasn't initially present?

[hannah]

Can emotional connection, shared experiences, and personal interactions have an impact on this process?

[Fireguy17]

it sure is, once you get to know them their personality will win me over.
I had an ex that when I first met her at the race track she didn't strike me as anyone special, but she was making her way over to the car that she was going to drive in the powder puff derby so that added points, but our car was not handling well at all that night so I was more involved with that.
I met her again in a weekish in a local bar, I was on my bike.
She had heard about me, and I guess asked about me.
I walked up to her and told her nice sneakers. That line worked! I offered to take her home on my bike but she was kind of leery about that. She didn't live far from the bar, I lived out in the country. I convinced her that it would be fine, so I took her straight home, nice and slow. That night started a long relationship, which sadly ended because she really wanted a commitment, and at that time I didn't even though I was really thinking about it and was planning to do it. To little too late. But early on as I got to know her more and more I just could not help but falling in love with her. She was as beautiful on the outside as she was on the inside. It took a long time to get over her.

It definitely happens, but only to an extent. It doesn't make them the most attractive person in the world like people always seem to tell their partners, no matter they really think.

When you're really compatible with someone and love their personality, your brain is like "Hey this person makes me feel good to be around. Fuck them!" And that's why it tends to make them more attractive over time. Your brain knows what's healthy for your body.

There are people I could NEVER see myself being attracted to initially, but just being around them all the time, watching their little mannerisms, etc. etc. can be enough that one day I see them and I just realize: "Oh... you're actually kinda hot."

[ShellyB]

Yes def. I am w someone who did not catch my attention v much the first 30 times I saw him. But now I think he’s attractive and who I want to be with, I see him in a totally different way.

[AI Opinion]

Absolutely! Love isn't always a strike of lightning; sometimes it's the sun gradually rising, brightening the day without you even noticing. Shared laughs, emotional bonds, and those oh-so-special moments can totally turn the tables. Before you know it, someone who was just a blip on your radar could become the star of the show. Emotional connections and personal interactions aren't just the cherry on top; they're the whole sundae, making someone more attractive over time. It's like your heart and mind sync up to say, "Hey, this person is pretty amazing," and suddenly, you're seeing them in a whole new light. Falling in love can be a slow dance that gets sweeter with every step. So, yes, buckle up because attraction can definitely bloom and grow with time. 🌹

[Finchie40]

Yes, once you really get to know someone , the attraction can grow deeper for that person because you feel a connection with them

[chiquita]

Yeah, it’s possible for physical attraction to develop over time, but it’s pretty rare. Usually, that initial spark or chemistry is what kickstarts attraction. However, in some cases, getting to know someone on a deeper level can lead to a growing attraction, especially if you really connect emotionally. Things like shared experiences and understanding each other better can make someone more appealing over time. But honestly, if the physical attraction wasn’t there at the start, it’s not super common for it to suddenly appear later on.

[beams]

Honestly, I don't think physical attraction really grows if it wasn't there to begin with. If you're not initially drawn to someone, that spark is hard to force. Sure, you might grow to appreciate their personality and enjoy their company more, but that doesn’t always translate into physical attraction. Physical chemistry is usually something that clicks right away, and if it doesn’t, it’s tough to develop later on. You can definitely love someone for who they are, but if the attraction isn’t there early on, it might never be.

[Anonymous]

Physical attraction can definitely grow over time. You might not feel that spark right away, but as you get to know someone better, things can change. Maybe their personality starts to shine through, or you notice little things about them you didn’t see before, like how they smile or how passionate they are about certain things.
As you spend more time together, you might start finding them more attractive because of the connection you're building. It’s like the more you enjoy their company, the more appealing they become, even in ways you didn’t expect at first. Attraction isn't just about looks; it’s also about the connection and how you feel when you're around that person.
So yeah, it’s definitely possible to develop physical attraction over time, especially as the emotional bond gets stronger.

[strangeatcircleK]

It's possible... I think it's better to have that non physical attraction before hand but it's difficult.

If you are attracted to someone with big noses and a fit body. It's hard to look at someone with a small nose and has a few pounds

I think, you learn to love them and learn to feel comfortable with them and in that, you love seeing them, and are attracted based on that

[hahahmm]

Sure. And it's also possible to lose physical attraction to someone who has a revolting personality which is why there's lots of women who look fine as hell and can never keep the man who initially took her seriously.

[JamesRandiDebates]

Yes. I've known women that I considered not the least bit attractive, but when I looked down while boning them, I thought "Hey this bitch is kind of cute." As soon as I'd shoot my load, they went back to being not physically attractive at all. But I was more than happy to go back for seconds and thirds.

[popiya7421]

Work from home and earn a respectable $60k a week, which is amazing considering that a year ago I was unemployed in a terrible economy. I always give God praise for honouring me with these rules, and now it’s my duty to practise anticipatory compassion and share it with everyone. Likewise, GOOD LUCK.

Yea! Love happens when you spend a lot of time with someone. I fell in love with a person I disliked a lot at first, but with time I started liking her and enjoyed her company, and those things that I disliked about her changed into my likeness! Strange but this was love I assume!

[CountryWanderer]

Yes! I was not particularly attracted to the woman who is now my wife, but after she asked me out and we started dating, that very quickly changed. I'm very attracted to her now.

[NathanDavis]

an emotional connection can make the physical one less important, or more significant in a different way, yes... it happens

[sawno]

For me physical attraction increases, but if there was none at first it won't suddenly happen.

[avery58]

Yeah definitely. I've experienced that before

[KostasKouvalis]

I'm still holding out hope

[avery58]

@KostasKouvalis wish you the best of luck with it 😇

[Ladsin2]

Simone you have a baseline attraction for will become more attractive over time. Familiarity hypothesis I think. I don’t think it works with people you don’t find attractive in the first place though.

[menina]

I don't think that's possible. To me you are either attracted initially or you are not.

[Anonymous]

They say it can. Personally I think you have to have at least some to begin with. It can be as little as one 1% but I think it needs to be there. Otherwise I think you're just conjuring something.

[Account]

Yeah. Happens more often with women than with men, I reckon.

[HungTexan]

It’s definitely possible. It’s happy to me. Nothing weird about it.

[Nikki1989]

Well, I never think about the physical with men anyway. With women, sometimes.

[KostasKouvalis]

Definitely, yes. It is possible to develop physical attraction over time if you like everything else about them

[FlorinParaschis]

Definitely yes. Depends, if her physical appearance in average or above average, you can definitely develop attraction because it is not only about appearance, it is also about personality and how that person makes you feel.

[RedInnocent69]

Not as common, but it is possible. I’ve definitely become more attracted to girls as I’ve got to know them.

[Julian7312]

Definitely. I think it's very possible, especially when you get to know someone better and if you find that you both connect really well.

[FarmBoy13]

Yes it can go both ways. You can gain or lose attraction depending on the persons personality.

[Centrum]

Yes - I met my wife many years ago while I was in a relationship with someone else and didn't have an attraction to her. Now we are almost 10 years happily married.

[coollove8981]

Yes, if he has qualities that overrides the physical looks.

[Markella2003]

I think so might not be right away. Plus their personality can help.

[Anonymous]

Not for me, it's usually love at first sight.

[Anonymous]

All the time!!! You can force yourself to like someone. We’re humans, we adapt

[DishLady]

Sure.

[dustybiker2]

I wouldn't waste the time.

[Nirmroth]

Yes, experienced it myself

[FunkyMonkee]

Of course! It happens all the time.

[_piotr]

Perhaps, but only to a certain extent.

[Nifrayu]

Yes, of course it is.

[dragoblack]

Yes, it's called getting to know someone

[noohair]

This can happen.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes that's happened to me twice

[Theodora1983]

Part of the attractiveness is personality.

[Simplypotatoes]

Yes, of course :)

[SpeedAnswerDemon]

yes.

[elizamichale1]

Yes ofcourse

[jahaims]

Duh.

[PrettyCrumblBb]

Nope!

[In_Trance]
