Of Love and Attraction

Okay... what now... I changed jobs? First Photograhy... then Time Traveling.... now I'm a Love Guru? Whatever. But I just somehow decided that I'll post something that's unlike me once in a while. It's still "me" duh~ but just from the darker side of my brain which rarely sees the light.

Today, I'll bring you a brief introduction to Love. While some people seem to say they know e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g about it, there are those who are unaware what or why the heck even until they're married.

Well, obviously there's no direct 'definition' to l.o.v.e itself, but I just wanted to try and explain love from My own 'bird's-eye' point of view.


Okay. First, there's Attraction, and attraction can be easily divided into 3 forms:


Birdie's Law of Attraction (sounds kinda physics to me, but... meh...):

1. Mental Attraction
This form of attraction is the basic attraction for most people. Simply put, it's the intersection point of interests, discussion topics, hobbies, likes and dislikes. In other words, attraction occurs when people of the same mentality mix together. It's brought about by having common views, and having someone to share what doing what someone enjoys together with him or her.


2. Emotional Attraction
Emotional attraction is the type of attraction that isn't acquired in a day, or a week... This usually happens over time when time is spent with a certain person, say... going to class together, playing together, watching movies together, and the such. This attraction grows with time... and is something related to 'habit'. As time passes, you're "habitually" attracted to that person you spend time with. This attraction isn't dependent on having Mental Attraction, but of course it's usually a result of Mental Attraction (Uh... duh... would you wanna be sitting beside someone who says everything you do isn't right in class?).

Emotional attraction is the one that makes your hand feel heavy when waving a goodbye to someone at the airport, it's the attraction that makes you call someone to see how they're doing, and also the same attraction that makes people break down and cry when losing a loved one.


3. Physical Attraction
This... in a more crude and direct way of saying this... ... is Lust... .... okay, that's maybe a bit too crude, but Lust is one of the kinds of physical attraction. It's the attraction that makes the guys eye some girl's butt, or the boobies... or whatever they wanna eye on. Of course, let's not make it sound so dirty, cause it doesn't necessarily have to involve butts and boobs. It may be because of the way someone talks, or the way she laughs, or the way he just stands, or just because a certain someone looks cute. This attraction sometimes doesn't just happen overnight, sometimes it takes time for people to realise why they find a certain individual interesting.



After talking about the 3 forms of Attraction, I'll now brief you on the 3 types of Love.


But seeing that it's 2:30 in the morning. I'd better get some sleep. I'll post the continuation later, hehe.

Stay tuned.
