Did I give you permission to speak?
Anyway, attraction is an emotion. Emotions are automated responses. You don't see a bus speeding toward you and decide to feel fear. And I don't see a pretty girl and consciously decide to find her attractive. And this ties in with the problem in this topic. People are way too emotionally invested in it. The most common thing I encounter when arguing this topic with others, is that those who disagree with me go to any lengths they can, no matter how bad the logic, to maintain a consistent stance that nothing I say can be correct for any reason. The worst of them go so far as to attack my character, many of them imagining that they can divine intimate details about my personal life and my psyche through the minimalist windows the text-based communication gives them. People with even fewer qualifications than a cold reader think they can diagnose me with personality disorders or believe that they are 100% correct in their declaration that I'm obese and friendless.
This is generally why I don't get involved in these conversations anymore unless I'm in a bad mood and feel like taking it out on some White Knight or presumptuous dickhead.
