I can talk to people without being attracted to them. Ego doesn't have anything to do with it, IMO, but for those who can't maybe snobbery would be a better term?

I agree. I talk to everyone but I'm not attracted to everyone. A person can be beautiful on the outside but pretty darn ugly within. It's easier to just get to know them on the inside.

Lets ask this question to sales representatives & call centre employees

Pffft! There's like 7 billion on the f***ing planet, no?
You can't be attracted to them all, can you?

Just breathe...

My ego, I'm sorry I thought you said let go of my eggo.

Since when is attraction a pre-requisite for talking to someone? I find that very odd. Then again, I talk to people all the time. Some I'm attracted to, some I'm not. Unless you meant something other than just talking to someone..

I communicate only through guestures with the persons to whom I'm not attracted.

I quarrel with the persons from whom I'm repulsed.

& yeah...I talk only with the persons to whom I'm attracted,but as they are seldom attracted to me so they dont talk to me....So I've to keep QUIET always

Oh NO!!!

a bunch of us made a trip down to St Petersburg Florida a number of years ago, and they tell me that I was trying to *dance* with a telephone pole in the parking lot!!!

Maybe that's why I don't drink much anymore





Just think... I could have got MARRIED, and *that* would have been a b@tch going through immigration!!!

I do it all the time. I have gone to sci fi conventions to sell my costumes and there are people there that everyone pushes away because they are geeks and refust to talk to them. I do talk to them rather than ignore them like everyone else. Am I attracted to them; absolutely not but that doesn't mean I have to be rude.

Umm.....could i please order some Vodka? Thanks very much :)

I read a very good book awhile ago titled "the Celestine Prophecies" and in it was the thought that nothing happens by chance...

When I meet someone, I go under the assumption that the *chance* meeting wasn't really chance at all... but rather *meant to be*... so I talk to them and try to figure out if I have information *they* could use... or if *they* have information that *I* could use.

My ego doesn't come into play, I don't believe...

and I may, or may not be attracted to them physically, but I am certainly *attentive* to the conversation.

Interesting concept.

As to the OP, I definitely speak to people who I would not consider attractive. Even those I don't like that well sometimes.

So attraction and speaking are not synonymous in my experience.

It is an interesting question.
I would have to say, I am attracted to most
people, because they are new, and compelling
from that standpoint.
I don't differentiate much between male and
female that way.
Everyone has a story.
Until they tell it, we make assumptions.
Which may or may not turn out to be true.
I like to figure people out.
Sometimes though, there is nothing there..
when you get there.
Walk on by.

Oh, and the other thing about can you be
friends if you are not attracted..probably
not, can you be friends if you ARE attracted..
well, of course, it adds that little something :-)

I don't talk to anybody

I'm seein' more wisdom in this everyday...

keeps me out of trouble

I will say hi to anyone that says hi to me. I find myself standing in line at the grocery store and will drum up a conversation with the person in front or behind me just to make my time standing in line <sometimes long> interesting. I talk to my dog all the time...outloud. I talk to myself all the time also...and even give myself positive <atta girl> and sometimes negative <dumb schitt> replies. I especially like to talk to the ones in line who are grouchy

I talk to people all the time and I am not attracted to them... necessarily

only if u are sharing

that's because you're from Texas

wait till we Yanks get hold of ya
