Potential Romantic Partner


This question took me a little bit of thinking, but I really enjoyed picking my brain on some of the characteristics and behaviors that lead me to label someone unattractive as my romantic partner. Someone who feels like they cannot be honest or communicate is the two biggest unattractive traits to me. I feel like if you cannot be honest to someone you just met, then you probably are dishonest about a lot of things.

In our book it says that, Steve Duck feels that attraction is really a process of elimination. I do agree. When we are getting to know someone and we are only attracted to the physical we are just waiting for the parts of them we don’t like.  As soon as someone shows me something I don’t like early on in the dating stage I will cut them off.

I have DEFINITELY eliminated someone by using a sociological or pre-interaction cue only to reconsider them based on interaction and cognitive cues. I think we all make these reasons why we can’t date someone only to find out they are exactly your match.
