Can psychedelics make you more attractive?

Migrated topic.

Some psychedelics certainly make other people look more attractive when I'm on them.

Fact :)

On LSD I've seen people turn into witches, gargoyles and clouds of hovering neon gas. I wasn't particularly attracted to any of them at the time... but YMMV. :)
 
Naw, I don't think so...

I think psychedelics give us a certain air of self-confidence, particularly during the after-glow--and I suppose that might be seen as attractive by others. But generally when I take a full dose of a psychedelic I get all sweaty and clammy, my eyes turn into saucers, and I stare off into space absently or get a huge toothy grin on my face that won't go away.

In my opinion, psychedelics make us look pretty goofy...even though they might make us feel great about ourselves.

No, of course not.

Why not?

Well, if psychedelics make us more attractive just by taking them, we would all look like Brad Pitt and Jessica Alba by now wouldn't we...? :d (or insert any other so called "attractive" person you want to put in place of those two...)

😁

LSD levelled me up from Giovanni Ribisi in Gone in Sixty Seconds to Walter Matthau in Bad News Bears.
 
I think at least in some cases, psychedelic users also get to cash in on the rebellion and 'bad' associations with drugs. There are a lot of people who are attracted to rebels and drug users, either because they want them themselves or like the 'romance' associated with drug users (you know what I'm talking about). I've definitely been approached and hit on by girls who think of me as a 'cool drug person,' despite the fact that I am an almost terminally nerdy person and don't use all that frequently.

What#s with all the "I'm so happy i'm not attractive" ?If you attract, you can effortlessly choose and pick. If you don't attract, you are the one being attracted by someone ALWAYS. You always have to give your power away. And while there always has to be one attractor and one atractee (?), i recon it's nice to experience both every once in a while and not be the one to fall for someome, get ignored like always and then cry everyday wishing you'd be dead.

So attractiveness at first glance breaks down to looks only?

A balance is definitely important. I think that an equal stance is important in any intimate relationship, rather than a "looking up to" or "down upon" perspective. Obviously it'd be near impossible to find a perfect balance, although I think it really comes down to self-worth. You have to have a concretized foundation of self worth in order for that balance to occur at all, and I think psychedelics have the potential to reinforce that emotional structure. You can't obtain what you feel you don't deserve.
 
A microdose of LSD had a pretty girl at work absolutely eyefucking me, when she never did that before. I think there is a certain calm, strong assurance and focus that is very attractive. When you're "in the flow" it is a natural state of being. Most usually aren't "in the flow"; being so makes one stand out.
 
I find a low dose of around 30-50 mics LSD helps my anxiety in social situations. I once tried it in a customer facing role i.e. no heavy machinery ;) Anyways it made me more able to take part in conversations I found mundane on other days, not because the people were boring but because it's not my zone. Anyway yeah I added conversation pieces where usually I may have just smiled politely or the awkward laugh.

I don't think that it made people more attracted to me, but it did give them more opportunity to express it if they already were.

As superficial as it sounds, the answer is yes for some people. I feel like it is generally more so for men than women. Men are visual creatures and the first thing we notice about a woman is, more often than not, what she looks like, especially at "first glance" ... :d

For the sake of the argument, I was jokingly referring to attractiveness being directly related to looks. But looks are not enough all by themselves, for me anyway. As Catch said, a balance is needed but it is definitely hard for some and harder for others to find that balance. Some attractive qualities never even surface until after you get together with that person and start finding out all the little quirks that you either love or hate.

"Attractive" is a very broad term that many of us interpret differently. That is the beauty of this this discussion, no? :)
 
When i am low on psychedelic tryptamines, i often catch myself looking away / avoiding eye contact of an attractive female coming my way. :?:
After an threatment and with high tryptamine levels, i often see beautiful girls staring at me, then suddenly breaking eye contact while spilling their spaghetties all over the floor. :lol:

If at first you don't succeed, invert the roles :twisted:

Also the "traditional weapons of a woman".... i use them against them. The effect is :shock:
