week 13 question 2

There are many characteristics and or behaviors that may lead me to judge them as unattractive other then their physical looks. It is a big thing for me to have a big sense of humor and can make me laugh, it is important that they make me happy and can do so by being light hearted. As potential romantic partners, I really don’t like when they act very cocky or disrespectful especially to women, just so that you know that that is how they really are and may treat you. It automatically filters to unattractive when men think they know everything when they really don’t, like when your having a conversation about a specific topic, yet they just act like they know to impress you, it’s not a great quality to have, if you don’t know, you don’t know, that’s it, there’s not maybes. Duck’s theory does make sense to me, Duck states that he feels that attraction is really a process of elimination, and I can concur to this statement. I once used pre interaction cue to consider a person, yet that person’s height wasn’t the ideal height I wanted him to be, and he worked at pearl tea place, which I was hoping he’d have a more stable job. “In pre interaction cues, people use non verbal impressions to determine whether they wish to interact with others.” Pg 159. We mostly make our first decisions based on this cue, by the first physical meeting and see what we are working with in a sense, then we decide if we would like to interact with them and get to know them or just move on to something “better.”
