The attendance is thin at present, so not much in store for me. But I wish there was more in store for me, atleast it'd have meant that the place is active.

Be careful what you wish for! 😛

Yes. I'm Gretchen Wiener. I have a big head full of secrets. You are Regina George. Evil personified who knows how to use secrets. 😆

To be on topic again. POH explained how you can be attracted to someone physically but dislike their personalities. I think everyone will crush on someone because they are hot, but beyond that you find the person mean, shallow, or just not likable in your books.

However, crushing or liking someone you dislike is a very common phenomenon. Most people experience that. Scientifically, the same part of the brain that triggers hate triggers love as well. It just is a curious matter of how the neurons react. The movie Ten Things I hate about you completely captures the experience of hating things about people, but discovering overall how much you actually like them.

Who can forget the sonnet

I hate the way you talk to me,
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
Even worse when you make me cry
I hate it when you're not around,
And the fact that you didn't call
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,
Not even close…
Not even a little bit…
Not even at all

Wow, Souro, congo-bongo. 😛

Bah, Middy, you got here ahead of me 🤣 Good to watch you spring out from your secret hibernation spot. Mwah!

This post of yours is spot on. But when you say lack of control over hormones, it connotes physical aspect of attraction and best to my knowledge, that's not what drives girls to go out with "bad boys". The uncontrollable intrigue that "bad boys" prompt is more of a psychological phenomenon, not physical. It's the desire to see what's underneath the seemingly obnoxious and nonchalant demeanor that tempts girls to hang out with them despite their better judgment. Friendships, acquaintances and everything else take a backseat and they invest their undivided attention on "conquering" the punk and tumbling down the wall he's built around himself.
