First impressions are strong, in person or online. You'll categorize people according to the stereotypes of certain personalities that you've created through experience in life. Once you've roughly assumed a person's category you'll try to guess if they're compatible or not with you. Below people have been assigned personality groups with just a number:
- Tom-0
- Ron-1
- Daniel-2
- Steven-3
- Kelsey-4
- Evelyn-5
- Rachael-6
- Emily-7
9.Lynn- ?
You've categorized people 1-8 with personalities 0-7. From there you can already guess which are enticing and which are repulsive(to you). But you lack knowledge on Lynn, you can't categorize Lynn for whatever reason. You'll need to observe Lynn's actions more and create an assumption about them.
But
What if Lynn doesn't offer you that opportunity. What if Lynn remains unknown to you and you can't assume what type of person they are? That's when you'll start to be fascinated in them and what they could be. Lynn could be a 9 or a 4. You like 9 personalities, 4 is alright too. Or maybe Lynn is a 5. This inability to figure out their being along with the assumptious possibility of what they can be make Lynn arguably the most attractive enigma of group. Even when Lynn has the possibility of being absolutely repulsive personality, the inability to see that thoroughly creates the opposite of repulsion. Lynn's mystique is primarily Lynn's dominate trait, for better or worse.
I think the more you know of someone the less appealing they become. The less surprising they'll appear to you. That's not to say that you'll throw away people once you know them, just that their being won't be as alluring after time as a solidification of them forms in your mind. People that lack definition in their persona though and float around as a cloud personality wise with no form remain highly alluring.
If you want to catch people's attention, be a mystery.
