Understanding the Lens of Attraction

The lens of attraction is a mental filter through which women perceive men's behaviors, significantly influencing their emotions and decisions in relationships. High attraction correlates with feelings of desire, while low attraction is associated with disgust. This dynamic means that the same action by a man can be viewed positively when attraction is high, but negatively when it is low. Therefore, it's crucial for men to prioritize maintaining a woman's attraction to foster peaceful and satisfying relationships, as a high level of attraction leads to better engagement and loyalty from women.
