I got some completely different understanding from Steve's post. I think the type of attraction Steve is talking about is the one that throws you for a loop. The kind of strong magnetic, warm fuzzy feeling of being attracted to someone who doesn't match up to your usual list of what you think is attractive. Or someone you wouldn't pick out of from a lists of available females or males from a dating data base.
The kind of attraction you can't let go of. It slowly forces you to be pulled in to see more about what this person is all about. To be such a force that the most beautiful of people can come into your life and your attraction to that other person keeps you wondering and wanting to go deeper into the attraction.
To overlook that gee, ya, so she has a bit bigger hips then what I normally go for. Gee, she really isn't the type I usually go for. Everyone is attracted to beauty. That is a no brainer. Its that inner attraction that only comes along once in awhile. It comes along when you might least expect it. Not from finding someone on a dating web site and taking them out on a couple of dates. It might happen to you while you are standing in line at the supermarket. It might come from the person who is helping you with your school work. It might come from the person you struck up a conversation with while waiting for the bus.
And what I got out of his post was, when this attraction hits you. Pay attention and listen to it. Don't fight it. (just answered my own problem) Play on it. Don't logic your way out of it by saying that that person isn't my type.
