I think an Attraction system would work best if it was like the Sims 2, where we could choose a combination of personality traits AND physical appearance.
I've chatted up girls who I thought were more boring than watching paint dry, solely because I was physically attracted to them, even if our personalities weren't a great match (me being a Geek, them being a Bro). Sometimes it went well and I learned there was more to them than I thought, other times it didn't, and we never got along.
So if Maxis does implement an attraction system (and they should), I think we should get to choose what our Sims are attracted to, instead of having the game decide for us. What if we want a Geek who's attracted to girls out of his league? (say, he likes Blonde Bros with big boobs), meanwhile, his equally Geeky roommate likes Redhead Geeks with glasses. The roommate might also be totally ripped and has tattoos, and lucky for him, his dream Redhead likes muscles and tattoos!
