There is an attraction, and I think it goes deep.

When we see a beautiful woman (or for women a man), something almost biological kicks in. The person is subconsciously seen as something important for the species to be continued.

If they are beautiful, healthy, and of sound mind, we are somehow compelled to defend them.

Isn’t it interesting when we look back a year or two later, seeing them in their orange jump-suit without makeup and glamorous clothing, how much less sympathetic we are.

In fact we wind up sort of despising them as if almost betrayed in some way.

This will sound kind of strange, but I wonder if there isn’t something to it.

Counterexample:

Oh I think you nailed it on the head, and I had to laugh out loud on this statement because it is so true:

Exactly, and we wonder what the heck were we thinking.

Looks are of course the first thing that attracts us, but when that beauty is found to be only skin deep, then their outer beauty starts to wane.
