As the title says... Is finding someone attractive the same as finding them sexually attractive? My partner thinks it’s the same but I think it’s two different things.
Peoples thoughts?

Care to explain why you think that the two are different things?

l guess they can be yeah , if you really wanna dissect all the different ways you can feel about different people in different degrees.
l could easily look at one woman l guess , and think she really has something or l love her hands or hair or skin or ass or she's just a really nice looking girl or this or that , but not in a l wanna sleep with her way.

But on the other hand , someone else might effect you in a def' you would like to sleep with her way or be all over her or feel affection, one evokes one kind of feeling or attraction , another evokes another kind.
and then others in all kinds of other ways and degrees to this way or that.

Someone can be attractive because of their personality, or because they share your interests and are knowledgeable about them, and have other qualities unrelated to the physical. In that sense---they're two different things. But finding someone attractive on those levels sometimes raises sexual attraction; suddenly, you start noticing physical attributes that you never noticed before, and you become attracted to the person sexually.

So....yes/no.

I can objectively see that someone is attractive without wanting to sleep with them.

Well heck, I'm a straight guy and I think George Clooney is very attractive. But I sure wouldn't be interested in having sex with him.

Different.. It’s no longer current but when the whole brad Pitt thing went down I said:

I’m attracted to Jennifer Anniston
I’m sexually attracted to Angie Jolie

That has since changed in a big way but that was correct at time.

It's different for me.

I can acknowledge when someone else is attractive, but not want to be sexually involved with them.

Yeah same , it's pretty rare l'd actually feel it in a sexual way anyway , spose that sounds weird to most peoples ideas of a guy , but very fussy. At the same time though, sometimes just say it were a different time place both single yaknow kind of thing, yeah sure.


Funny too how some people have this magnetism about them as some have said say in a personality sense, nothing to do with looks, they might not even be good looking at all , but you just like each other instantly , as people or somehting, hard to explain but no doubt everyone gets that with someone, nothing to do with sexually.
