Attraction is a way of life whether we like it or not; we are attracted to those who catch or eye and no matter how cynical it is we are creators of habit in all shapes and form. It is what separates us from the animals but it is what makes us human; through our feelings, verbal communication, and the ability to take care of ourselves there is no harm in that; but there is harm in only paying attention to the physical.
There are many reasons why we are attracted or not attracted to certain individuals. They can be a persons upbringing, personal insecurities, a persons confidence, and a combination of all etc. We can not contain who we are attracted to this feeling of attraction may develop in the womb. It could be the foods we eat the music we listen to or the world of media that surrounds us. It is in our society that we form our many beliefs and inherit our culture. However, it is up to us to get past the surface of the outer layer and be able to see the inner soul that lives inside us all. Everyone wants to be love and although we must love the skin we are in, we must first learn to love what is inside before concentrating on what is outside.
So the purpose of attraction impacts humanity greatly because without attraction there isn’t friendship or relationships or mating so attraction is our survival method. The reasoning behind attraction (which is the action) explains a little bit about our intellect and how are bodies shape it however, it does point out how complex us humans are. No matter how hard we try we can not control you we are attracted to until the aspect of compatibility plays it’s role because without it we are powerless.
