"Most people decide whether or not they’re attracted to someone within the first three seconds of meeting them.". Do you agree?

  1. I agree. But it does not mean you cannot change your mind later about somebody.

  8. I agree only to a certain degree, there is a strong connection with some certain people just at first sight, but a lot other times you get to get more attracted to someone as time passes, you can hear a lot of gals tell you that they didn't really feel too attracted to their partner when they met but as time passes they get to be more enamoured of them.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yes!!! Even @ a sight,one should tell if he or she is attracted 2 some1...attraction comes wiv admiration... Trust me wen its comes 2 topic like diz, am a love doctor *big smile*

    ReplyDelete
  10. Physical attraction, yes. However my attraction to some people increases on closer acquaintance because of their personality. Having said that I'm female, don't know if it works the same way for guys.

  16. Yes true...later they find out if they click together or not when character comes into play.

    But at first...its either you are attracted to the person or not

    ReplyDelete
  17. I do not agree

    ReplyDelete
  18. in a way, I agree that sometimes attraction is immediate But there has been some situation where I have developed attraction towards a guy over time, through talking and seeing each other regularly. However the 3 seconds rule applies sometimes but not all the time

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hmm! Dat is more than true, u dnt evn hv to b standing close to d person to feel it, n blv me all u nid is three seconds, after that u're either attracted or u aint!

  24. Well....3 seconds is an exaggeration, more like the first 5 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  25. its possible....but only when the person is physically attracting

  26. I don't agree.......my wife to be swears she was not even interested in me when we first met....thus the "I don't care attitude"....more like 2 yrs later......now we here (drake's voice)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I totally agree. The 1st time I see you is when I decide whether I can date you or not. If I'm not attracted to you the 1st time, nothing can change that. I'm shallow like that ;;)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Its very possible,,hs happened to me b4 sef!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Linda, well....psychologists have found that people respond
    intuitively to faces so rapidly that our reasoning
    minds may not have time to influence the reaction.
    It’s almost like an involuntary shiver.
    We just can’t rationalize our decision, and so we
    pretend to be very intellectual and blame it our
    sharp instincts. These ‘instincts’ help us choose the
    friends we would be most comfortable with, and
    also helps us in choosing the right mate.
    You’ve obviously known there was always
    something more than just good looks that attracted
    you to your sweetheart, didn’t you?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Totally true!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I don't agree.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yup. But if you hang around long enough you may be proved wrong.

  42. It is true, but attraction here isn't the 'want to be with you forever' kind oh! Like in 3 seconds you can decide you are attracted to a person and get to know them better. That's when dating begins, that you are attracted to a person don't mean y'all are gonna make a great couple. You could be attracted to a person and the instant they open their mouth, the attraction dies

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yep Ø̶̷̩̥̊͡Ƒ̶̷̩̥̊͡ course

    ReplyDelete
  44. how dis one come affect asuu strike?...mctew..

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yes for lust, no for real love. Speaking from a boys perspective, maybe the gals would share a contrary view.lol.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I totally agree that one can be attracted to another within few minutes of meeting the person,however interaction will determine how long that attraction will last.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I don't really....

    ReplyDelete
  48. I do not agree. The attraction is called lust.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Sometimes. Other times, it takes a while to really notice someone. And even other times, the more you get to know someone, the more or less attractive they become.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Yes I agree. And If indeed I don't feel him, that date will b the first n last. And later if he insist on seeing me again. Then I ve to tell him the truth. 'I don't like u' simple.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Yea,,it true...!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Who cares? Of what use is an attraction that dies without leading to anything helpful?

  57. Its possible, depending on the individual. Most people easily open up to strangers while some don't. I don't

    ReplyDelete
  58. I agree but only to realise over time that the first impression was only a mirage!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I totally agree but looks are deceptive though!!

    ReplyDelete
  60. NO cos you can actually meet the person at his/her good or bad mood at that moment.

    ReplyDelete
  61. sure i agree,,,, works 4 me,, like i no am not attracted to you immediately you open ur mouth to respond to ma greeting and i perceive some disturbing smell<< yea its true

    ReplyDelete
  62. AM A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OH! Pls abeg ...I am a virgin and I don't want to cheat so I think I deserve to feel someone that will make me not to look outside in terms of attraction and besides If I have waited for 31 yrs of my life despite the fact that I meet loads of chics who will never believe my story , I can't blow it with a worrisome person oh! GOD HAVE MERCY ON ME...

    ReplyDelete
  63. Very true, if I'm not attracted to someone in the first few seconds that's it but there are always a few exceptions.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yes,I agree. Is possible ###

    ReplyDelete
  65. sure i agree works for me\,,, i no am not attractive to you when you respond to ma greeting with your mouth giving out some disturbing odour

  96. Yes I agree,as for me,I kw if am attracted or not within meeting d person.......lovi says so!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I certainly agree a connection occurs within d first few seconds of u meeting a person nd is a determinant if or nt u wana meet them again.

    ReplyDelete
  98. And thats why dey fall apart in no time...True love is gradual...there shld be a place of deep knowing..(character,likes n dislikes)

    ReplyDelete
  99. 3 seconds? Nah. First date is okay *ThatFunctionGuy*

    ReplyDelete
  100. Yes it is true in some cases with women and men but I guess it is more of a feminine thing.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Yes ofcoz she is ok

    ReplyDelete
  102. Yes it is true , I guess the 3second time span is more of a feminine thing.

  107. Sometimes I can be attracted to a guy but on knowing guy I find out I even dislike him as in false attraction. For me it doesn't work dat way. I dey quick dislike person, God helps me to find n stick with d one meant for me.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Not true... Are u psychic to know that...well to me its not true..

    ReplyDelete
  109. It depends. But not dis skeleton up there oooo.

    ReplyDelete
  110. The first 3 seconds,maybe no but the first hour works for me..there are times you just hate or like someone when you see the person for the first time but getting attached to someone would definitely take more than 3 seconds..

    ReplyDelete
  111. It happens.Just be good looking and give me a good reason to laugh,and I'm drawn to you like magnet within the few seconds I've met you. The rest depends on how well you can continue to keep me smiling. I rest my thumbs.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Yes,it's an Instinct factor,but d situation may change as a result of positive or negative varia bles

    ReplyDelete
  113. Yep it happen when I first saw u linda

    ReplyDelete
  114. Absolutely not, I used to think attraction is not a concious choice. Its either she likes you or not. Foolish me. You can create attraction yourself.

    Lasting attraction can be manufactured in this part of the world. Yep! Lets examine the 5 main traits of an alpha male – looks, wealth, status, fame, and game – and how each one is a choice you make:

    Looks – ideas starts forming in her head, once she sees your arms, feels your strength, and touches your 6 pack. Manufactured by you. E.g "Linda always asking who among this guys would you hit?"

    Wealth – sure you can call them gold diggers, but ultimately, She may ‘love’ you for your money, but does it really make a difference? Manufactured by you.

    Status/Fame – (status is a subset of fame) no further explanation is required. Manufactured by you, either faked or bona fide.

    Game – the attitude girls love. This is what they mean by ‘he gets me, he’s not a pushover, I like his style, he’s sweet, he’s exciting, etc’. Guess what – manufactured by you.

    Although a lot of guys intuitively know this, there are still way too many who think ‘she should just like me for me in 3 sec’ and as a result take the easy path of inaction, later wondering why they can’t get any.

  115. 'Decide'? Nahhh Linda Attraction is not something you decide,its something we barely even have control over so maybe you should rephrase your question before i can answer it ;)

  126. Yh dis is more like d chinese proverb dat says we're all conected by a tread on our ankles,so d attraction may not actually be physical its more like a mental attraction...talkedtoomuch okbye

    ReplyDelete
  127. attraction is not a choice at all. it totally depends on the way the guy presents himself to the lady. if he does not act like a needy and approving wussbag,if his body language and tone speaks "in control and in charge", and he teases and dialogues properly, and interestingly, then its only a matter of minutes before she cannot explain why she is helplessly attracted to the dude...

    ReplyDelete
  128. Sometimes It does happen but ova time a change of decision can be made if he or she did not me ya expectation.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Physical attributes in the first 5 secs and what comes out of your mouth in the first minute like your IQ etc will really determine further qualities such as character etc

    ReplyDelete
  130. We are talking abt attraction hre,not love ok? So yes pls

    ReplyDelete
  131. yes it happen to me

    ReplyDelete
  132. I dont really agree on 3sec stuff,dont be surprise some people just find attraction bcos sex n packaging they see in someone...if the 3sec stuff is really working that means some people will have up to 10 bf or gf reason bcos there are some working environments u will always see attraction every minutes....for most girls money attract 'em and for guys packaging attract 'em....have u forget the saying "girls believe in wot they here,boys believe in wot they see that is while girls always wear makeups and boys always lies"

  133. CeCe.....
    you actually know at times buh i blive it as you further continue you be sure

    ReplyDelete
  134. It is not always the case. Something must be exceptional about that person for me to be attracted to such a person within three seconds.

    ReplyDelete
  135. I do not agree, our mind plays tricks on us so we think we are attracted to the person,after you get to know the person you see its all different.

    ReplyDelete
  136. TRUE! a man or woman just has three hurdles. be attractive from afar, face to face and when you open your mouth but if you fail in any, just forgerrit!

    ReplyDelete
  137. I strongly think 3 secs is not enough to determine it ooooo.
