    Attraction

    How do you measure how attractive a person is?  When we are younger, we commonly measure attraction by looks.  As we mature that definition of attraction may change and we may lose some of our physical assets that we once had.  At Emotion Station we believe that personal attraction may include productivity, fulfilling our identity, and healthy emotions.
