NAYRT

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I’ve encountered plenty of people who have very strong aesthetic standards for people who they have no sexual interest in, even hypothetically. (Whether they’re ace or they’re allo and talking about a category of person they’re not sexually attracted to.)

But once you’ve put it separately from being ace, I agree with AYRT that it’s nice to not be too naturally fussed by a person’s physical appearance.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm ace and I find people attractive (or not) all the time and I was shocked to find that some sexual people cannot distinguish between sexual attraction and aesthetic attraction. Like a friend that knows I'm ace was confused when I said I found people attractive, and then we had a whole interesting discussion on the concept of the different types of attraction! Maybe some ace people don't understand the difference (or don't see/feel the difference) so that's where other anon is coming from?

As someone who is also ace, I'm very picky about attractiveness. I actually had a similar experience as you, where one of my friends thought I was bi when I mentioned being able to find aesthetic appeal in both men and women.
It's a tired cliche, but it really isn't unlike finding an artwork attractive/nice to look at. I don't want to fuck it, but that doesn't mean I don't want to take it home with me.

I think part of the issue is the word "attractive" which means...you can be attracted to them, and that often has a romantic connotation.

Beautiful or handsome are more purely aesthetic terms. I find many women beautiful but I'm not attracted to them.

Of course people call sofas and shirts attractive. Not beautiful horses or cats, though!
