Those choices are horrible; you need a fourth choice of "None of the above".
Yeah, that would be the option I would pick (as that option's not available, I'm not voting). I don't see why people find other people attractive without knowing them first; everyone has beauty in some way, if you look enough. I can see why people say someone looks "good", but attractive is another matter; how can people be attracted to someone they don't know? It makes no sense to me.
On a related story (sorry for the ramble; Heather's procrastinating and therefore must do something), there's a married middle aged-ish couple who I see every once in awhile (I volunteer at the food pantry, taking people through; they're there). They're nice people; I like them. Anyway, the woman noticed one of the necklaces I wear (which has the name of someone I do happen to find attractive (not that that attraction really matters)), and after verifying that I did indeed like said person, pointed it out to her husband and said, "Isn't that so sweet? He's special to her!"
And he said, "Well,
now he's special to her, but give it a few years and -"
"No! It's young love. How do you know it's not going to last forever?" (Naturally, by this point I'm off in my own corner wondering exactly how this started and how to get away from it.)
"All I'm saying is, if Leonardo DiCaprio -" (Over in the corner shaking my head.)
"And ever -"
"or Brad Pitt -" (Still shaking head.)
"And ever -"
"or George Clooney -" (Still.)
"He's too old for her. And ever -"
"She would forget him like that." (Definitely shaking my head.)
"Don't listen to a word he says, honey. He's just a cranky old man. I know it will last forever. It happens."
"Oh, I know it happens, I'm just saying girls and the movie stars these days..." (Back to shaking head.)
"You see, we'll come back here in twenty years and they'll still be together."
They went on from there for awhile; I just kinda tuned out by that pointed, retreated.
