　　 The question of what we find attractive in others and what we can do to enhance our own best assets 1s a major preoccupation during at least some part of our lives．①Sadly，the ideal lovers of sexual fantasieS are usually completely unrealistic because our relationship to them is over-simplistic，lacking intimacy， bondingor emotional commitment． A principal pleasure in imagining seducing or being seduced by your fantasy lover is his or her unavailability in real life．Understanding the secrets of attraction will enahie you to relate to others in a more fulfilling way．
　　 Of course people do grow to love people over time，while“love at first sight”is sometimes lost． Nothing in life is concrete； we change in our tastes all the time． What and who we find attractive is highly fluid—we are all friends with at least one person whom we did not like when we first met them．。 In the same way that first impressions about people can be completely wron9，our feelings of attraction are sometimes unreliable．
　　 The surer you are of your own likes and dislikes the more attractive you are to others，because selb con±idence is usually rated as being attractive． But remember that being a good listener，together with showing sensitivity to the feelings of those around you，can be equally attractive．
　　 Your aesthetic intuition counts for a lot． Be careful how much you let your intrusive intellect muscle in on territory best dominated by your gut feelings．④Tune in to your own body language as you come close to someone of the opposite sex．
　　 Continually reminding yourself that you are able to change your mind about other people and what artracts you to them is a way of escaping the limitations in life that we all too often construct around us． As you enhance your love of variety and your love affair with life，so your love of yourself will grow．By trying to be optimistic and positive you can obtain a much greater level of contentment in your life，and deVelop an understanding that a wider scope of what is attractive to you in other people will greatly enhance the likelihood of your meeting someone to whom you are very attracted and who is attracted to you．⑥
　　 We all have expectations of people’s characters and personalities and we base these on physical aPPearance·Research shows these expectations are usually inaccurate．We are continually bombarded with mass—media-conceived images of what is attractive，yet most of us fail to match these images．[420 words]
