The Beautiful People

Post Reply New Topic

I suppose this falls under the Love and Dating category, as it's about physical attraction.

You ever been out somewhere in public, just minding your own business, when someone, just some random stranger you've never seen before in your life and will probably never see again, just catches your eye? I don't mean glances at you, but that you just instantly notice them; instantly pick them out of the crowd for how they look? And it's not really charisma, though (you're too far away or the setting's not right for that, usually, to pick up on it) it's actual physical beauty/handsomeness.

Like, you see them, and you can't help but look again; watch them, stare, look away, look again, repeat. Like you can't get enough of them. You know if you get caught staring, you'll look like a creep, and you kind of feel like one, just staring as much as you already are, but you can't really help it; you just really like the way they look. Too stalker-ish to go closer to get a better look, but you don't want to lose sight of them either. You want to get a picture of them to remember what they look like, but you don't have a camera (or one with a zoom) and even if you did, it'd still be really creepy to just take their picture out of nowhere, even if you were for some reason bold or stupid enough to ask for permission.

I'm asking if anyone else has had this experience, as I just hand my most recent one on a couple weeks ago, one afternoon at a brewery open house.

About twenty or thirty minutes before we left, I noticed a woman walk in, and I just stopped. Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. And I'm not talking standard lingerie-catalog gorgeous. She was something different. Maybe mid to late thirties, slightly taller than average; well dressed in blue jeans, with a white long-sleeve dress shirt and a black blazer over it. A well-defined, vaguely masculine face, a bit like Jennifer Aniston's, maybe; a hairstyle evocative of Jewel Staite's as Kaylee, from the show Firefly. I don't know... I can't really describe her right...

I don't know... I guess the best way I know how to describe her is how I did one of the characters in my WIP novel:

"[...]features soft, but still well-defined. Very expressive. Something about her eyebrows. Ever meet those relatively rare people who seem to be able to convey more than the average person does with just one expression? Like something about their features and facial structure just seem to naturally cater to it? Yeah."

Anyone else ever experienced something like that?

No. I have, on occasion, noticed someone I found sexually appealing but there are plenty of physically beautiful people I'm just not attracted to.

Yes. In fact, this is the only kind of attraction I seem to be capable of, if you could consider it an attraction.

Currently, there is one girl at school who has this effect on me. I don't even know her name, but whenever she is nearby, I can't stop looking at her. I know it's weird, but she is too beautiful to stop looking.

As strange as it seems, while I think she is gorgeous, I have little interest in dating her. I don't know anything about her, after all.

I love when this happens. The person is attractive, but there's also the "je ne sais quoi" he or she exudes that stops you in your tracks. You're right; "charisma" doesn't cover it.

A few years ago, when I lived in Illinois, I used to go to this grocery store, and there was a girl who worked there who was the most exquisitely perfect specimen of femalosity I had ever seen. I never saw anyone more physically attractive -- my preferences aren't the "standard" ones, I'm not into the Playboy-Bunny type, and I don't often see girls who I truly consider attractive, so this was a pretty big deal.

I found myself going out of my way to shop there, just to see her. Eventually, we started talking a little, she told me her schedule, where she lived, and we exchanged a whole lot of e-mails.

The problem was, it turned out that she had the intellect of a can of tomato paste. Nice girl, pleasant, good at her job, but it wasn't going to go anywhere. As physically drawn to her as I was, I was totally put off by her inability to discuss anything more involved than shoes and the fact that it's cold in the winter.

Which just proves that, even for a shallow, superficial jerk like me, a mere uberintense physical attraction simply isn't enough. Who knew?

often I see women on the street looking that interesting that I get a little sad that there are so many wonderful women on this world and I couldn't be friend of all of them^^ but when I consider it from the other side I see that most of the people out there are irrational thinking emotion driven puppets so the beautiful shape is anyway just a waste of luck. beauty is such a whore... counts as a quality like intelligence... the quality of receiving happiness and luck^^

YOU'RE ALL WELCOME!

I know what you're talking about with women and men alike. Everyone knows what a beautiful looks like, but some have a gravitational pull with me being its victim. I fall in to their spell-like beauty. I also have a hard time stopping myself from looking. Sometimes I'm curious as to who they are, and other times it is purely sexual attraction. I find many people attractive, but very few do I care to look at or want to meet.

eh

I once saw someone like this on the NYC subway: tall, athletic with blond hair, blue eyes, a just right tan, and a diamond stud in his ear. I felt bad at first because he looked possibly younger than 18. Then again, he probably cultivates his look knowing people oodle over him. It'd probably be easy for him to look like white trash, and yet he doesn't chose that.

OP i know exactly what you say, its something thats happened to me in the past. always found it interesting to see what about them made me look so much much at them

I hope to have that feeling again soon...
