Attraction**Sorry this is late I couldn't get on blogger.

After reading the chapter on The Laws of Attraction it really made me think about all the different things that make up attraction.  It also made me think about the conflicting information there is out.  It’s said opposites attract or birds of a feather flock together, what makes us attracted to one another? From our text it discussed seven major variables in attraction, mood, propinquity, similarity, scarcity, arousal, hormones, and physical attractiveness. 

In doing a little more research I found that attraction is not just in romantic relationships, but in what attracts us to friends and who we work with.  In this video by Vanessa Van Edwards she discusses how not to be boring and how to be more attracted to people.  She mentions how to be more memorable and how to have appropriate body language.

This makes me think is attraction something we have to think about?  Or is this part of our social identity?  Do we need to learn and watch our body language or only when we are attracted to someone? 

I included this photo because I think it does show how there are so many different types of love and attraction and we are such an ever changing population, culture, and people that we never know how it will end up.
