There was definitely a clash of culture, or maybe spiritual views or both and other things too. Robert smiled a little more, relaxing into the honesty easily even if his emotions were still nervous and strung out some.
"I'm not attracted to appearance." Robert laughed a little. "Well, I have limits but appearance isn't even high on what makes people attractive." It seemed important to tell the Swede after all the compliments he'd given on the Brit's appearance. The truth was that the things that made people attractive; honesty, trust, morality, beliefs took time, took knowing someone well.
"I'm flattered that you think I'm attractive." He was even when it made him uncomfortable. Who wouldn't be by a much younger person telling you that you were sexy? "Sexuality based on physical attraction makes jumping into things fast and easy, maybe? I don't work that way. I find people.. their energy or spirit or ... well whatever you Swedes call it... what attracts me. The physical body is less important though not unimportant. I still think some people are too ugly, physically, to get involved with."
