If you’re magnetically drawn to features others might label as ‘flaws,’ then you’re responding to her essence rather than societal standards of beauty. If she feels like family, then your soul recognizes her. If she simultaneously feels exotic and like your polar opposite, then that’s the mirror effect doing its job.
It shows you both the familiar and the parts of yourself you haven’t fully integrated yet. The ‘both/and’ feeling is actually a strong indicator. If it were just a surface attraction, it would be one or the other. If it’s a twin flame attraction, it’s somehow everything at once.
To me he’s breathtaking, perfect in every way. I could stare at him all day. If someone asked me to describe my ideal type physically, I’d just be describing him.
The funny thing is we actually look alike in some ways lol
That mischievous little smile, that’s what gets me every time. Something about the way his face lights up when he’s being playful.
He’s attractive, sure, but it’s that specific expression that makes me completely unable to look at anyone else. I spent so long on dating apps after separation started, nobody looks like that.
The first time I saw them was photos on social media, and everyone in this city touches up their photo and uses a dozen filters, which I hate, and they were the first person I had seen (other than me) not doing this. Immediately got my attention. They still look so much better than anyone else.
The things I want to do to him. Attractive doesn’t even cover it.
Something otherworldly was pulling me toward him. Maybe my inner child recognized something in his soul that felt like home, like safety I never had growing up. I could close my eyes and still feel this magnetic pull. I adore his face, but it’s not about looks.
When I first saw him, I wanted to crawl inside of him and stay there forever. Still do.
This is really the heart of it, IMO. The physical attraction becomes almost inseparable from everything else - their soul, their energy, the way they make you feel seen. It’s like you’re not just attracted to how they look, you’re attracted to WHO they are radiating through their physical form.
Even in a romance movie, you never hear them really talk about this. They always get the stereotypically ‘hot’ man and woman to play the leads and that’s just the end of it. They see each other and there’s physical attraction because that’s what we’re supposed to be attracted to.
I think that’s why so many of us in this thread have said our twins weren’t our usual ‘type’ initially but became the most attractive person we’ve ever seen. The beauty we perceive is the whole of them shining through. IMHO that’s what makes TF attraction so different from regular attraction - it’s not compartmentalized into ‘physical’ vs ‘emotional’ vs ‘spiritual.’ It all becomes one thing.
Yes! My twin flame and I are both extremely attractive, which sounds arrogant, but we both get a ton of attention, attraction, and preferential treatment from the opposite sex. I used to think she was way out of my league since I could’ve never imaged a girl like her giving me the time of day.
She only isn’t “my type” when she is feeling insecure about herself since those “flaws” manifest physically which triggers me and cause me to run.
This attraction seems to exist outside of time. Like I can look at a photo of him from years before we met and still feel that pull. That makes zero logical sense but it’s real.
The other thing is how my body seems to recognize him before my mind does. In crowds, at events, my nervous system responds to his presence before I’ve even consciously spotted him. It’s like some internal radar.
The attraction is physical, but it goes deeper than that - it’s cellular.
The “another singer” just died last week. He fought cancer for 6 years. Well, here I am stuck watching a lookalike on TV. Wonder how my twin feels about that, but I don’t care to be honest.
Though I am now quite sure I have a stronger “softening” reaction to my twin’s appearance. Is it the soul? I Don’t Know…
