That's an interesting phenomenon. It also goes the other way. Sometimes I see someone that seems quite plain, but the more I observe them, the more attractive they become.

I find with very conventionally attractive people, more often than not there seems to be a loss of attractiveness over time.

I really do believe that it is better being somewhat above average in comeliness rather than much above average. If you are a knockout, nobody can get their head around it, and it clouds every interaction you make.

Also, as I connect with someone or realize they are really intelligent or interesting I start to find them more attractive. It happens on television sometimes too. I find Colbert insanely attractive because I get so much enjoyment from his character.

Absolutely the same here. My wife went a long way to winning me over when on one of our first casual dates she suggested that we watch a documentary on volcanoes that she had recently picked up.

Maybe we should refer to it as a 'brain crush'?
