Attractiveness
(Redirected from Attractive)
Attractiveness or attraction is a quality that causes an interest, desire in, or gravitation to something or someone.[1] Attraction may also refer to the object of the attraction itself, as in tourist attraction.
Visual attractiveness[edit]
Visual attractiveness or visual appeal is attraction produced primarily by visual stimuli.
Physical attractiveness[edit]
Physical attractiveness is the perception of the physical traits of an individual human person as pleasing or beautiful. It can include various implications, such as sexual attractiveness, cuteness, similarity and physique.[citation needed]
Judgment of attractiveness of physical traits is partly universal to all human cultures, partly dependent on culture or society or time period, partly biological, and partly subjective and individual.[2]
