Use Interpersonal Attraction To Have Great Relationships

friendship Why do we fall in love with people, like some, and hate others? Interpersonal attraction. It’s a major point of psychological study, and there’s really not much hard data on why one person might be attracted to another person and not attracted or even repulsed by someone else. Interpersonal attraction is still a great mystery.

There are certain principles at work, of course. It’s believed that people are attracted to people of approximately the same level of physical attractiveness. And that people of the same social background and similar economic situations will experience the interpersonal attraction that draws them together.

But also that in some cases, people who are very different in other aspects are more likely to be attracted to each other and happy together that two people very much alike in terms of things like dominance and personality.

Interpersonal attraction is an area that you have more control over that you think. You may not necessarily be able concentrate and attract a specific person, but you can use certain concepts to attract a certain type of person into your life.

The universal law of attraction tells us that like attracts like. Magnetic attraction will draw certain things to you based on what you believe. And conscious creation of your own reality can affect all these things as well. You must first decide what you want in a person, then believe that a person meeting those criteria exists and can come into your life.

This belief in what you want and its availability to you will help a person with the qualities that you want come into your life. Interpersonal attraction, the attraction of a person that complements us and would make a great friend or partner, is as affected by things like belief and thought as other things like how happy we are, the kinds of situations we attract, and our financial situations.

If you can decide that you can have prosperity and therefore you attract it, you can decide that you can have a positive person around you as your friend or your partner and then attract that person.

Your positive belief that you can get what you want automatically surrounds you in an aura of positivity. This alone will affect those you attract by putting out a signal for other positive people. If people tend to gravitate toward those who complement their personalities, then your positive aura will attract other positive people.

Your openness to financial prosperity and good fortune will also work in your favor by attracting people into your life who hold the same beliefs and openness. The power of positive thought can do amazing things in every aspect of your life, not just in your job, your financial situation and your level of happiness, but also in the type of person you attract.

Since attraction must be mutual for it to work, believing certain positive and good things about yourself can help interpersonal attraction work for you in bringing the right people into your life.

“It’s believed that people are attracted to people of approximately the same level of physical attractiveness”

I watched an experiment in Discovery channel: Science of Sex Appeal, and this statement seems very true. People who think they are average in terms of attractiveness get attracted to the opposite sex w/ the same level.

I agree with everything you’ve said, and would like to add the following:

Establishing “rapport” with someone is key to setting up good communication, trust, familiarity and eventually romantic attraction. NLP techinques, law of attraction techniques and body language techniques all help to establish rapport.

Great article about such a complex topic. What drives people when they choose a partner? Is it all just about the need to find a “mate” as in the biological need to reproduce or is there something else at play?

You say “The universal law of attraction tells us that like attracts like” is predominant force and in many respects you are right. But how many times have we seen forces at play that determine the other side of this coin: “Opposites attract”?

It is certainly a topic of conversation that will continue to go on and on and one of the reasons why forming relationships are such an important aspect of our lives.

Keep the Smiles,

I agree, it’s basically like “You get out of it what you put into it.” Positive, happy, upbeat people seem to attract positive, happy, and upbeat people and bring out that side of them. That seems to be one of the “secrets” of popularity. People aren’t typically thrilled to hang out with someone who’s a “downer”, but when the opportunity arises to hang out with someone upbeat and “fun”, people gravitate.

“You must first decide what you want in a person”, is important.

You cannot know what you want in a person until you know what you want in yourself. Even then we are always growing and changing and you must put your finger on the pulse of who you are and where you are going.

Openness and positivity are two more things that this article brings into play. Openness is extremely an extremely hard policy to practice on a regular basis. To truly let yourself take backseat to what is going on in front of you.

With that said I think positivity is the one thing that everyone needs to take into consideration. If you are a good person and think positive, everything you want will happen. It might not seem like that at the time, but your positivity is pushing away the negative people and happenings. This allows the good things like love and happiness to find you.

I find that many times people are attracted to someone who is very much the opposite of them. I think that it is likely because they admire some of the qualities that the other person possess that they themselves do not. Also, maybe it is because there is a certain mystery to someone that is different from us.
