Well, there's no such thing as "fake" attraction, right?

Never heard of it. Fleeting attraction, sure. Stockholm syndrome, yeah.

But what experiments suggest is that if people are afraid when they meet someone, they're more likely to be attracted to that person, in part because they're interpreting the physical response that they'd normally interpret as fear as attraction. One example (among many possible) is where an attractive female assistant approaches people after they cross a rickety, scary bridge to ask them some questions for an experiment and then gives them her number to call if they have any questions. Then they try it with the same girl and a non-scary bridge. The ones crossing the scary bridge are more likely to call. Then another one is where they give volunteers a questionnaire that includes a question about the attractiveness of the female administering the test. One group is told before it starts, "we will begin the painful shock experiment momentarily." The group told that rates her more highly. I think that stuff is behind a lot of the dates on the Bachelor, too.

That sounds believable. People don't want to be alone in scary situations so it makes sense they'd feel some extra need for human connection, and that it would manifest as a form of attraction. People who share a traumatic event oftentimes form a bond.

Those are different situations than someone meeting ten people at a party and only getting nervous and tongue-tied in regards to the person most sexually attractive. In those (much more common) instances I think it's fair to say the attraction comes first and the physical response is a result. And that the fear experienced is different than the kind that precedes an imminent physical attack.

I think that what it is is that the physical response to fear is indistinguishable from the physical response to attraction. So if people feel fear in a situation where some cues suggest that attraction is appropriate, they interpret it that way, and then it kind of locks in.

That's right.




Perhaps the internet isn't where you should spend time?




Involved isn't the same as being in the middle. You don't see me debating what's at issue, nor trying to moderate it. Just tossed out an observation to CG for perspective.

Stop teasing. :(

It just pisses me off so goddamn much.

There's a boxing highlight that I saw that showed him and Ward in the ring together then his daughter looking at his HoF plaque and it brings me to tears every goddamn time I see it.



Around the 1 minute mark.

EDIT:
Wrong vid, it's this one, 50 seconds in:

that documentary was heart breaking to watch

I watched that with my dad. He always tried to get me into boxing when I was young with Jack Johnson, Joe Walcott, and Rocky tapes but I could never get into it then he said fuck it and we watched Gatti/Ward 1 together and I got hooked.

We watched that documentary as a family. My mom:
"I don't even know who this is but his widow is a cunt"
