The Science of [Attraction]

It occured to me that the ability to deduce attraction in a logical manner can be done through reasoning out proper protocols and designing a structured formula (regardless of the counterintuitive appearance) in the attempt to influence the human mind.

For instance, say, physical attraction is the foundation for attraction. If physical attraction is the primary basis for attraction and secondary is, say, a mental stimulation, like, if someone finds you intriguing, then it's my assumption that certain elements of yourself can be altered to fit or to match the requirements for attraction.

Let's look at a failed relationship.

Physical attraction is present and both individuals are mutually inquisitive. They date, the relationship fails and attraction breaks down. However, certain elements of attraction still do exist.

I believe that physical attraction still exists and if physical attraction is the foundation, then it is theoretically possible to mend a failed relationship through scientific means: offering the proper amount of cordial communication, being sympathetic and caring, distancing yourself, etc. After a breakup, the appearance of happiness can also be alluring to the ex-girlfriend or boyfriend. In breakup scenarios, negatives can actually act as positives and reinforce your need and desire for your recently separated significant other.

I am, of course, implying that in order for the perfect test case, an individual would have to change considerably and be groomed according to the Rules of Attraction, individual tastes and desires of the opposite sex (or same sex, if homosexual).

Have you ever considered the notion that all, if not most, failed relationships can be salvaged by simply manufacturing an alluring personality and demeanor?

    I'm very good at adapting myself to other people. I simply don't enjoy doing it for an extended period of time, and reserve it for associating with acquaintances with whom I only spend occasional times with.

    If I don't enjoy being in a relationship, it's a failed relationship. Ergo, if I have to alter myself in a way I find intolerable (but capable of) for an extended period of time in order to "salvage" a relationship, I am simply making a zombie relationship. Dead, but walking.
