Opposite of "attracted"

Question

Here is my sentence in English. "She was attracted to his personality but repulsed by his appearance (looks)." The best the machine translation cane come up with is, "Ella se sintió atraído por su personalidad, pero rechazado por su apariencia." To me, "rechazado" conveys the idea of being rejected - not what I want to express here. Can I use "repulsado"?

Answer 1

Watch out for the genre of the words. "Ella se sintió atraída por su personalidad, pero repulsada por su aparencia".

Thanks, I noticed that just after I sent it. I didn´t correct that part of the machine translation.. - sjanner, Sep 1, 2010

Answer 2

"Repulsar" is a verb which is used very rarely in Spain, especially in a sentence like this. Other alternatives are "repugnado por" (disgusted, revolted), "asqueado por",

What about speaking to those from Central and South America, like in Mexico or Peru? - sjanner, Sep 1, 2010
