Answer 1

As per psychological research studies, there are basically 4 factors that enable attraction. They are physical appearance, similarity, proximity, and reciprocity. Here, my list did have physical attraction and similarities. But the other 2 were replaced by 3 such as showing humanity, having a good voice, and being witty. Personal experience with the attractive factors mentioned from my point of view is many. A person who is having good physique and is dressed well get attraction very easily. I am one of those personalities who is an introver, people who are introvert are the ones who make most of my friend list. Others such as displaying acts of humanity as in the form of helping others, having a great voice and being witty at times are the ones which I consider as parts of the personality of an individual. This can be found to some extend match with the "similarity" concept proven by psychologists.
