The word attractive is used in our language to account for what is attractive and for example attracts us.
That or that which is attractive to us
It can be applied to things, situations, undertakings, objects or people.
So we can talk about an attractive position, attractive eyes, or an attractive man.
Although the word in question has a wide use, it should be noted that its synonym: attractive, has an even more popular and widespread use in our language.
Now, getting fully into the word attractive, it implies the action of attracting, something like bringing to himself that or that one wishes to have.
He owns qualities and conditions that twist the will in their favor
It is worth noting that those who have attractiveness have conditions and also qualities that will prevent the other from falling at his feet.
What is attractive is because it meets the conditions and qualities that we like or others like and therefore it makes the will and desire tilt towards itself.
Of course, that which is attractive is closely linked to each one's subjectivity and also to the expectations that whatever object generates for each one.
In relation to a business project, it will be attractive to undertake if a priori it shows the possibility of obtaining large profits.
Thus, for example, the person who likes life while air free will find the green color of the grass, the singing and the coloring of the birds attractive.
While another individual who likes the arts will find it appealing, attractive, visiting every museum of plastic arts It crosses.
The weight of subjectivity to determine attractiveness
On the other hand, in the case of individuals, the attractiveness usually has to do with the physical qualities that a person presents or the moral values manifested by an individual.
In this case there is also a predominance of subjectivity, which is what ultimately determines what will be attractive to one or the other based, of course, their tastes and inclinations.
A person who likes tall men will find all those men who measure more than 1.80 m., and on the contrary he will not stop to contemplate one that measures below that measure.
So, the attractiveness is closely in tune with our personal preferences.
The influence of culture
Now, running from subjectivities, normally, the attractiveness is associated with those characteristics and conditions that are agreeable to the spirit, to the sense of sight, or to the hearing, and especially to the latter two they captivate them.
The parameters of beauty and attractiveness are often also influenced by the culture in which they are manifested, that is, what by tradition society considers that it is hardly attractive for almost everyone.
Almost unanimously youth, the absence of physical defects, disposition of harmonic features, and for example, physical symmetry are linked to attractiveness.
But there are also aspects of people that will also be attractive and that have nothing to do with what physical, such as what is known as inner beauty and that is closely related to good spirit, the intelligence, the personality, the grace, the charm, the education and the honesty, among others.
It is important that we point out that the physical beauty that normally attracts the majority, there will come a time that will not be such, because of course, people we grow old and with it our body, making those physical characteristics that stood out before now do not do so because they have also deteriorated.
There are many couples who are united in a physical sustenance only and it goes without saying that they will be doomed for failure because of this. that we just mentioned, because when the beauty of yesteryear can no longer be appreciated in that other, surely, love will disappear.
It is normal that we fall in love with the beautiful but we must also pay special attention to inner qualities that are those that last forever and beyond any physical change.
