When I was young, I did not have filters. I didn’t understand what I wanted and to describe my behavior, “I was all over the place.” When I aged, I realized that I wanted things out of life. I realized I wanted a career and I wanted different things in life. As I began to go through a series of trial and air I started to filter out what I wanted and didn’t want.
Characteristics or behaviors that lead me to judge others as unattractive are things that don’t align with my values. More specifically my classes have taught me that people have different beliefs and attitudes. However if their values don’t align to mine those are the things I find unattractive.
Ducks theory makes sense to me. I can not say that I have eliminated someone by using a sociological or pre-interaction. I never knew about the theory up until now. The theory works in 4 stages of theory starting from sociological to preinteraction cues, to interaction cues and ends with cognitive cues.

I like that you mention that your filters have become more developed over time. However, I feel as though we all had attraction filters from the day of birth, especially in regards to physical attractiveness. For example, if you look at a wide eyed child, wouldn't you think it was due to attraction? I do, but I also understand that Duck's filter is more elaborate than what children can comprehend or even recognize. I see how these filters have become more important with age, but then again somewhat limiting. After learning about them, I have learned a little about myself as well.
