Hi all, Having just seen this thread and looked at the BBC article, this guy has got it wrong, he looks as though his personal 'magnet' de-fluxed quite a while back.
May I suggest that it is simply an attraction to the power / influence that someone has, which then reflects on the lady (or man) in question.
But if he wants to kid himself it is sexual attraction, I can only say don't give up the day job!
regards Roy
