Since I learned to Enneagram, I've conceived it as being Nine "energy types" à la Richard Rohr. To him, a person's type motivation can be sensed by others as an "energy". I'm sure you get that it means the same as "vibes".
I wonder, how much of sexual attraction is based on pure "personality energy". Is it usual to feel more drawn to somebody once you've found her/his personality?
Of the two people I'm seeing; a 2 and an 8, there's no doubt that I'm physically more drawn to the 8ish one, though the 2 has the kind of body I've always liked.
My only explanation is her personality. I've always enjoyed the company of 8ish women slightly more than any other, in friendships and in work.
In a word; do our favourite OTHER Pers-types also turn us on?
