 Factors of Attractions
a. Physical Attractiveness
It is one of the primary determinants of romantic
attraction. Most people prefer whom they consider
physically attractive especially in the early stages of dating.
b. Proximity
People tend to get attracted to people who are
geographically closer to them. They are more likely to
develop feelings of mutual familiarity with the people who
live close to us or go to school with us and increased level
of comfort when there is regular contact and no prior
negative feelings.
 Factors of attractions
c. Similarity
People pick partners who we have similarities with such as social
class, background, religious beliefs, age and education. The more
attitudes and opinions two people share, especially when they
are similar, the more they will want to do the same activities, and
would create a strong bond between them.
d. Reciprocity
People like others who like them back. People feel indebted
when someone does something good for them and tend to
reciprocate the action. The more we are liked by someone they
equally like, the more we behave in ways that promote mutual
feelings of liking.
