Factors that Influence Attraction

1. PHYSICAL ATTRACTIVENESS
- Is one of the primary determinants of romantic attraction. Most people
prefer whom they consider physically attractive especially in the early stages
of dating. Ideas of physical appearance contribute to the perception of
character and assume certain internal qualities.
(Barocas & Karoly, 1972; Dion et al.,
1972).

to them. They are more likely to develop feelings of mutual familiarity
and increased level of comfort when there is regular contact and no
prior negative feelings.

4. Reciprocity

action. The more we are liked by someone they equally like, the more
we behave in ways that promote mutual feelings of liking.

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

A romantic relationship is when you feel very

strongly attracted to the other person, both to
their personality and, often, also physically and
should be reciprocated by the other person
in the relationship.
