I don't think that is what we are talking about here.

Think of a well bred man who becomes obsessed with an underage prostitute, or a well bred young woman who is obsessed with a Hell's Angel.

Equal measures of lust and disgust.


That's not the impression I got from the OP.

I wasn't really talking about disgust, more irritation, but by all means let the conversation open up. Maybe disgust is a lot like irritation.

It's common for me to feel like/think about ******* someone if I'm attracted to them and their self in general irritates the hell out of me at the same time. Maybe to get them to stop being so annoying for once? Or maybe just to take out my resentment for them in the best way possible. I don't know. It's one of those things that drive my mind wild a bit 'cause I can't totally understand it. :|

angry sex with someone who annoys the hell out of you, is very satisfying.

It is a very sexual attraction, which seems rare for me these days.

I don't know if there is a proper word for it but yes you can be attracted and repulsed at the same time.

I'll give you an example. The actress Sissy Spacek.
She often plays characters who are vulnerable and sad and more than a little crazy.

Half of me wants to reach out and comfort her and the other half of me recoils in horror.


sissy is a BABE but unfortunately is unreachable.

unfortunately, the lions' share of sexylicious people KNOW they are sexylicious and have an off-putting concomitant arrogance. drat. most people who are kind and un-arrogant, are that way because they have no other options. the lucky lookers, OTOH, have more options and they can afford to piss most people off, because the people that count for them [other lookers or $$$bags] will consider them worth the $$$ and trouble in general.

i don't think it's that because they're sexy they're arrogant, it's more they've got used to the way they've been treated because of that.
like a little pretty girl has been told every day she's a gorgeous little princess by her parents, grows up to think she's entitled to that.

Not for me. For me, disgust overwhelms attraction.

Oh, that's easy. They're arousing a tension and typically things like anger or agitation are easily flipped for a lot of people. I guess it just goes to show how close those circuits are in proximity.

Irritation is nothing like disgust in my experience.

I still haven't caved to that sort of impulse to date but maybe I should one of these days.

I've been attracted to women who most people find very annoying. I also tend to find annoying things in someone extremely cute when I like em. I also become attracted to women who annoy me after I know em a while & they are nice to me

I don't think I'm easily irritated. I mean, I manage to read a lot of WP.
