attractiveness
Quality of allure
Attractiveness is the quality of being pleasing or appealing.
Physical attractiveness draws romantic or sexual interest: Her attractiveness was undeniable.
But the word applies beyond appearance—a job offer's attractiveness might depend on salary and location, an investment's attractiveness on potential returns.
The word often implies a pull toward something desirable.
