I'm attracted to guys and girls in real life but I'm only attracted to male characters. I don't know what that makes me.

And it's not because I think female characters are shitty characters that aren't developed enough. I like most female characters as characters, I'm just not attracted to them.

I'm the same way, but I eventually came to the conclusion it was because most of them are shitty and underdeveloped. Real women? Complex, beautiful, and awesome. Female characters? Tend to be male-gazefied cardboard cutouts (obviously not in all cases, but to a distressing degree).

Seconding this but in a more purely physical sense. I'm attracted to people who look like real people, and female characters/celebs tend to be designed to look much more perfect-plastic-fake than male ones. I'm attracted to a good few female sports stars but no other female celebs, and it's not even because I dig big strong women or anything like that - they're just allowed to look real, and other women on tv are generally not.
