What do you think?

Personally, if I'm going to be really honest about it, I find men who are in any sort of position of authority or power to be slightly more attractive or seductive than others. And it doesn't even have to be some high-up position they're in, either. 🙂

What do the rest of you think?

Both ladies and gentlemen feel free to respond.

not all the time, it all depends on who the person is.

sometimes it does affect it tho, women in power or have high confidence, and high self-esteem. and i find that attractive. it just shows that they can take care of themselves without help from men.

Power in itself isn't seductive in any special way-it is the intelligent way that you understand to make use of it .
So intelligence is more seductive in my opinion-hey-I have Mars in Gemini and Mercury&Venus in Aquarius!
I would say that -furthermore-authority is seductive-the very presence of someone that makes you respect whatever that person has to say.

seriously though, I have a thing for seeing someone do something they're good at (no perverted connotations) and possibly there's a level of authority in that. I don't know if i'm making myself clear - seeing an illustrator at the moment and watching them draw is attractive - the last person i was seeing was a technical manager at a tv station and hearing her talk about satellite feeds and aspect ratio conversions had the same effect! Something about a person having confidence in what they do - i don't know - it's late - I'm tired 🤢gt;

power isn't seductive to me in any way. I just meet people and know automatically that they are attractive to me (not exactly that love-at-first-sight thing, more like instinct) and I can't think of a single one who is or ever will be in a position of power. Its the intelligence, humor, and personality I go for. I don't even notice looks for some time after meeting people.

Nope, the only time I find power seductive is if I have the power...lol.

I mean, what is power anyway? It's all illusionary to me, b/c as a human you always the choice to say NO to anyone regardless of station, position in life.
