    I’m assuming you don’t have a incest gilf complex going on, so you’re not sexually/etc compatible with her

      OK gerotophilia makes that one seem obvious, but what if I said the same about my sister? My sister may completely be my type, and I may spend a lot of quality time with her. Yet, I won’t develop romantic feelings, because I have integrated the social norm that would make it wrong

        I have head cannon that says we have some innate anti-incest genes in us that make people we’re related to less attractive to avoid inbreeding problems.

        But yeah you can easily reply and talk about cousins, since we’re not that related to them.

        How about if i editted the title to say “If 2 people who are more distantly related than 2nd cousins spend enough quality time together, do romantic feeling develop 95% of time?”
