1) Do you consider your sexual attraction preferences - or the qualities that you tend to find sexy, or however you want to define it - to be pretty broad, or pretty specific?

2) What about the things you're looking for romantically? Would you say your romantic preferences are broad, or generally fairly specific?

3) How do romantic and sexual attraction interact for you? Does one follow after the other? Are they pretty independent? How does that work?

I'm not trying to start a fight. I was just thinking about it. Sorry.

Evidently not?

Is your scroll wheel broken?

Fairly broad. Cute and innocent or naive is interesting most of the time. Before anyone calls pedo, cute and innocent gets more interesting the older the person is. 30 year old cute and innocent is far more complex and interesting than some 18 year old.

Pretty specific - I'm really picky, and to me they go hand-in-hand, though I know for some they don't.

1) Specific as hell. I have a type, and it shows.

2) Broad enough.

3) They go together, unless it's someone who I've never seen like an online friend, in which case there's no sexual component yet. Once I do find out what they look like, though, if there's no sexual attraction, the romantic bit just dies out too.

1) Very, very, very broad. I find a million different things sexy.

2) Somewhat specific. Definitely more specific than sexual attraction.

3) Well, I don't know if one follows the other. I think they're pretty independent. But in practice, most of the time, it's not an issue, because I just find enough things sexy not to worry about it.

I have a pretty broad range in what I'm physically attracted to, but very specific about what I'm romantically attracted to. (Defining romantic attraction here as someone I would like to be in a relationship with or would fantasize about being in a relationship with.)

For romantic attraction, they would need to be honest, funny, smart, and willing to compromise. They would have to be somebody I could respect, and somebody who respected me. They'd have to pass the Trivial Pursuit test. (If I beat them at Trivial Pursuit, are they okay with that?) Are they okay with my drooling over fictional characters once in a while?

Either one can exist in isolation. I've been romantically attracted to characters in books (I don't tend to visualize when I'm reading.) I can happily drool over Dean Winchester, Loki, Poison Ivy, or Captain Jack Sparrow without imagining how perfect we'd be together if only they were real, or ogle some random stranger on the street.

If I'm going to be in a relationship with someone, though, I'd need to be attracted in both ways.

1) I'd say tending more to specific. But it's not so much thing like height or eye color, my like features, mannerism? Does that make sense? I notice that all the people I was ever attracted to share a lot of characteristics.

2) I'd say that THOSE are pretty broad, I often find unexpected things romantic, so can't predict it.

3) I don't really have romantic attraction without sexual attraction, so they have to go together....i.e. I won't crush on someone I don't find attractive. They both have to be present for me to consider them as a potential partner. I can have sexual attraction without romantic attraction, though

Re: Another Thread

[herpymcderp]

1) Extremely broad to the point of nigh undefinable. I have an easier time pinpointing what I'm not attracted to than what I am attracted to in a sexual context.

2) Extremely specific. I'm almost never open to a romantic relationship because I'm just not interested in the vast, vast majority of people in any kind of romantic context.

3) They are, unsurprisingly, totally separate entities in my life. I can have sexual attraction for someone without ever developing romantic feelings and romantic feelings for someone without ever developing sexual attraction if I don't get those signals. It usually has a lot to do with how I perceive someone else's interest in me, to be honest. I tend to reciprocate feelings or desires more than develop them independently, if that makes sense.
