'Aanstaan' might be more common in a negative form, but that can be fairly threatening. I had a brief look at Google, and I find it without even an intensifier: * Ruiz: "De optie Sevilla staat me aan" - Goal.com * Gilbert: "Parcours van de Ronde staat mij aan" - Ronde Van ... * Zelf vind ik hem er best aardig uitzien en vooral het 'whisper quiet' staat mij aan. It is simply the less formal version of 'bevallen', I'd say. (And the opposite is 'tegenstaan'). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

How tegenstaan and aanstaan are opposite?

The connection is... not to please, not really to nauseate, not that strong !

I see a big difference between to to please someone and to nauseate him.
Not sure I follow the logic... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I did not wish to deny that. But I meant that 'tegenstaan' in my view is not that strong. 'Not to please' seems better to me. You see ? Edited by JanKG on 30 March 2011 at 9:52pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
