How long does it usually take for a woman to feel attracted to a man she likes?
Discounting asexual and low libido women and depending on the libido strength of the woman in question (let’s say moderate to high), probably almost instantly. It probably compares quite favorably to any man’s.
But if you’re asking how long it takes for the woman in question to act on an attraction to a man she likes, well that’s a whole other kettle of fish.
Consider all of the things that most likely suppress that desire.
- Misogyny / Racism / Bigotry
- Slut/Virgin Shaming
- Abuse
- Sexual Harassment
- Rape
- Stalking
- Manipulation/Dishonesty
- Gaslighting
- Arrogance/Vanity/Insecurity
- Inflexibility
I could go on and on, but I don’t want to depress you or myself. : – (
Now consider all of the things that would make it more likely for women to act on their attractions to men if men as a whole routinely displayed them.
- Acknowledging women and other genders as their equals
- Honoring consent while indicating desire
- Sex positivity (not mandatory sexuality, but instead respecting consensual choices — including the choice not to be sexual)
- Reporting/calling out/changing abusive behavior and bigotry
- Fairness/consideration
- Respect
- Honesty
- Love (erotic, platonic, romantic, whichever applies to the situation in question)
- Emotional flexibility (not just anger or lust)
- Friendliness / good company / fun to be around
I’m not saying all or most men demonstrate the former and all or most women demonstrate the latter. I’m definitely not saying that displaying the latter will ensure that women will act on their attractions to men. I’m just indicating the potential inhibiting factors that may prevent women from acting quickly on their attractions to men.
All the best to you and everyone you encounter.
