Re: Question for Bi/Pan People
In the same way, if I met a girl who was a great person, who had a lot of attractive qualities in addition to being hot? I would really like her, like spending time with her and talking to her, have a lot of appreciation for her as a person. But nothing romantic at all. Romantic feelings are fucking hard to define, but as Potter Stewart said "I know it when I see it" and it never occurred with girls, while it occurred with multiple guys. I had a friend I was really close to, who I was comfortable with and enjoyed being physically affectionate with by hugging, lying close together, etc, but no spark of sexual desire ever occurred. No romantic feelings ever manifested themselves. I loved spending time with her and doing things with her and would feel defensive and upset when bad things happened to her and I knew what it was like to feel a rush of affection when I thought about her or when she did something awesome, but I had no desire for more. None of the physical sensations or emotional reactions or thoughts that come with romance, none of the longing, none of the crush-like feelings I had had for guys. And no desire to have sex with her whatsoever.
It's just...it's like there's something in my brain that frequently (but not always) causes a connection between positive feelings and romantic feelings whenever guys are the subject of those feelings, but never causes that connection when girls are the subject. I'm sure you know people of either gender who you can tell are attractive, but you are not attracted to? It's like that, except when you're straight, you're consciously aware that gender is a big factor in determining whether or not you experience that attraction, regardless of how high your affection for or aesthetic appreciation of the person in question is.
LOL that really got away from me there.
