"""Striking Factor""" : Anything that catches your eye can be considered a part of the striking factor. These are not only the physical attributes-- the broad shoulders, the curve of the waist, etc.-- but also the non-physical attributes-- "he's so funny", "she's so confident", etc. ""
"Double-take Factor""" : Something that makes you look again can be considered part of the double-take factor. People who have a high double-take factor have something about them that makes them more attractive than the first time around. You may not even have a high striking factor, but wind up having a high double-take factor.
"""Charming Factor""" : This is the factor that keeps your interest-- "I can't keep my eyes off of him", "she always looks great". It does not even need to be something physical-- "what is it about him that is so fascinating", "I always enjoy being around her".
I do not think that these three factors are directly related and can be viewed independently. However, when determining someone's attractiveness, you need to look at all three factors to get a full picture of their overall charisma.
Some other factors are: good education, kindness, non-smoker and
non-drinker, and so on
Arlene Said: "Some other factors are: good education, kindness, non-smoker
and non-drinker, and so on " These sound more like qualifications rather
than factors. Not everybody is an either/or. It sounds like most of these
"Factors" are things that are observable, so how can one factor in
something like "good education".
