Who do you get attracted to online ?

started by batataburger 3 yrs ago

In real world we know people usually get attracted to someone with appealing physical features then followed by other critirea as you get to know person.

What defines who you like/are attracted to online? Is it those who are articulate and playful ? Or is it those who think along same lines as you? What about those who might think in same way you do but are very poor at conveying it through medium such as this?

I get attracted to those who express easy and humorously . Altho' i would love to I cannot understand sentences that flow like from the chief justices mouth or someone describing nuclear fission process.

And those who cannot type ( like me. but i manage with my one finger and toes sometimes) they don't have to come online and waste their time anyway.

==>Sadly enough, I dont get attracted to people online anymore! :| Its probably because people wont make an effort to articulate well (within the limits of brevity) and yet be interesting. If I had to answer the same question 3 years back - it would being friendly and playful.

Someone with a great sense of humor.
someone who is optimistic.
someone who may disagree with my views,comments, remarks but still does hear me out.
someone who is not interested in knowing my past.
& most important, someone who is difficult to get.

not EGO but fun. with EGO, u can never win someone. It would only be a temporary relationship.The other person is bound to look thru it.

Attracted to as in what terms? Someone you are chatting with to kill time or on personals? I didn't get the group you are referring to.

A good sense of humor.

Pics of a hot, funny woman would do fine too.

It is a whole lot of jive talking. It's words that I fall in love with--the ones I want to hear. When I wake up to realize that they are lies, then it's time to let go.

I hold onto all the words. The words themselves don't lie, people do. Can't let go of words, can't let go of expression.

I guess the question being asked is, in the virtual world, what attracts you to a name/handle when u dont know how the person looks.

-- attracted as in someone who you enjoy reading? articulate, but not pretentious or overbearingly opinionated; he speaks and listens with equal passion. being able to express yourself well in the written form is extremely important in the virtual world cause it is everyone's first impression of you. if you can't, you are at a disadvantage.

This question will not be answered in the interests of marital peace.

It is not hard to guess whom Ups finds attractive! :P

Basically every man (and woman) will be attracted to a woman (a man) who "seems" to want him (her).

There is nothing worse than feeling not wanted.

It's not so simple, Ups. We have all wanted to run away from someone who wanted us, at one time or the other.

In fact, I have noticed that in almost every romantic relationship, there is always a chaser and a chasee at some level. One person is always more invested in the relationship or more interested in the other person. It is seldom an equal investment or equal interest.

In some relationships, one person is always the chaser and the other is always the chasee. In some relationships, the chaser and chasee exchange roles periodically. There are very few relationship which are in perfect equilibrium. Most happy relationships have moments of equilibrium. Chasing and being chased can be exhilarating and fun. It can also be tiring, exasperating, insulting, even dangerous.

I have also noticed that often, we seem to be more attracted to a person who is just tantalisingly out reach, than to a person who is easily available. And most people who want us are easily available. There are many cases where we want a person who is just out of reach and when the person becomes available we see a fall in our interest levels. Women are especially familiar with this phenomenon. They often talk of men who are so attentive and interested before they "get" them, and then seem to lose interest later.

This is not much different from the market. A product which is less easily available is always perceived to have more value and you have to pay more for it, than a product which is easily and abundantly available.

At one point in your life you know what is a relationship and you stop playing games, and stop all that chasing and getting chased and is willing to settled down with someone who you do not have to pretend with.
that is maturity..

The above I understand..

Also, I agree with the chaser/chasee concept. One reason could be once within reach, some of the not-so-attractive characteristics might come to light.

If the Chaser and the Chasee end up marrying, then it becomes a Dragger/Draggie relationship...:)

How can you smile about it? Sounds tragic to me. Actually I am not even very fond of the chaser/chasee reality, once the fun is gone and it starts to become tiring and bad.

>>>> But we are talking about online, not reality!!! The online world is drastically different than the real, three dimensional world. In the flesh and blood world, I keep my distance. I play buy the rules.

Online, in relative anonymity, I can dare to chat with people about things most people wouldn't dare discuss with friends or colleagues.

I don't usually get attracted as much to people I have chatted with than people I haven't chatted with. There is one guy who posts here regularly and we have only interacted via the CH.

I think he is brilliant. However, I don't always agree with him. He has gotten me pretty worked up over his thoughts on certain subjects and I often feel foolish for feeling angry about a CH debate for longer than I should. Despite all that, I admit, I have had the wildest dreams about him (I am not referring to 'wild' in the exclusively sexual sense, BTW!!)! Since I am having dreams about him, I clearly find his intellect and his stubborness attractive!

It's all in the box. Online only. It's definitely strange...

The chaser/chasee funda I was talking about applies to both the physical world and to online relationships.
