As humans, we attract what we become. It's a delicate blend of what we are now and what we are attempting to become as we grow that brings us closer to those walking the same paths.
As William Shakespeare said,,,,Love looks not from the eyes ..but from the mind..
I love this quote as I think this is so very true in my experience.I know I am always drawn to someone of a similar mindset to myself....regardless to a great extent of age or looks.and it has worked vica versa
However...I have to admit I have also attracted my fair share of clowns! haha : ))
..altho none on this site yet thankfully!..
i think i disagree. if people are too much alike i think things might be a little mundane. shouldnt we learn and maybe take with us the good qualities that we "adopt" or learn from others close to us that we admire and / or respect?
I disagree, we do not attract what we are at all. For example if youre a beautiful person , do you always attract beautiful people ? not all the time, you end up attracting the wrong attention in retrospect. The weirdos, the geiks , people the totally opposite of yourself. I wish I did attract what I really wanted.
Thats just how I feel about that sayin.

Might be true in some circumstances like smile and the world will smile back..i also agree that we also can attract what we might need at a certain moment anddisattract what we dont...but they also say opposites attract for a reason meaning sometimes opposites complete eachother while the same can get into a fuzz...so i would say its relative..as stated...an innocent lamb will definately attract a vicious wolfe etc...the human mind is very complex and there are many sensoric strings floating which either get picked up or picks up...waves..hence attraction is somewhat unexplanable to a precise point.
I dont agree, Ive been on a few dating cites and I never attract someone like me, I have a degree and am always looking for someone who is educated but I always attract the opposite, I am very positive and some of these men just tell me sad or negative stories no matter how I try to turn the conversation around Or I will try to chat about meaningful things and they just want to talk about " your cute " or "what are you doing tonight"
Does an innocent woman attract an abuser? Does she need an abuser?
Does an honest person attract an honest person? I would have wanted one and certainly I needed an honest person. Does someone who is more vivacious attract only vivacious people? There are too many examples but the clear answer is NO to the questions.
I don't think we attract who we are. We attract who we need. Our needs change after a while, as do the person we attract, so we grow apart. Thus, monogamy is not natural in this respect. But that is another story.
