Twitter Thread Reveals People Arguing Over The Viability Of Dating Someone You Aren't Physically Attracted To

Dating can get messy fast when attraction and compatibility do not line up. Sometimes someone looks perfect on paper, but the spark is missing, and that gap can make every date feel more complicated than it should be.

That is exactly the debate sparked when Twitter user skyaddict6 said she could never date someone she was not physically attracted to. The post pulled in a wave of reactions, with people arguing over chemistry, honesty, and whether attraction can grow after the first few dates.

The replies got blunt pretty quickly, and the thread did not stay calm for long.

This is where it all started...

@skyaddict6

1. No matter the type of bond, physical attraction makes it fully satisfying

@ColeWithDaCurls

2. You'll never enjoy sexual activities without being physically attracted

@emokardashianx

If you are not attracted to them, it won't work

@emokardashianx

You're probably going to feel a lot less pressure to "perform" when you date someone you're not physically attracted to, which will free you up to just be yourself and have fun. This is essential to any happy, long-lasting relationship, as it ensures that any chemistry you have with each other is real and not fabricated.

That comment pushed the thread in a new direction.

3. When you start wondering why you chose them in the first place...

4. If this commenter doesn't like you, you will definitely know

@decent_itohan

5. Let them be with someone who genuinely loves them

@ElviraEleli

6. Whether or not people find them attractive, what matters is that you're attracted to them

@BlaqHoeSun

Physical attraction might be immediate or develop over time; intellectual attraction happens quickly, while emotional attraction requires time to fully understand. In the end, it's best to wait to commit to a relationship with someone until you feel entirely attracted to them.

So, going on dates to test out physical chemistry and connection is absolutely okay.

Also, this feels like the friend turned secret partner who wanted boundaries in their relationship.

And that did not settle the argument at all.

7. Leave them alone so someone who finds them attractive can get a chance

@itskierrad

8. If you were mature, you would not lead someone on

@PatrickHugues1

9. This commenter can't seem to figure out why

@YogSothothsDad

10. This commenter will date as long as they are treated right

@shuthefuckupzyx

11. I'm not fully happy, so I feel like I'm fooling him

@meawsten

12. Why would you? Why?

@rain03388819

Believe it or not, there are certain people who date others they are not physically attracted to merely because they wish they were attracted to them. In most cases, it doesn’t end well, as you might not be able to maintain that "attraction" for long.
