I'm sure this question has been asked before in one form or another. Seeing the subject of likes and dislikes of certain attractions in regards to how there are different reactions depending on gender I thought I'd put up a poll of our little community.

I know, I know, the answer I'm going to give is the eye-rolling kind. Sorry, heads-up sorry .

I've explored my sexuality without trying to, and what unfolded before me was almost a bit annoying. You think in one instant you can corner it well, put a name to it, but something ends up putting you on this roller coaster of uncertainty. Again. Because that never got old in the first place.

I can't say I'm one or the other. I've acted on male attraction, never on female attraction - I just know that it's there. Maybe because it feels less threatening, maybe more intimate and kind. I'm not sure, I haven't done anything about it yet. I still feel like I would lean towards male, but I can never be sure!

Edit: I clicked the last one, because I have no freaking clue. Bleh.

When I was younger I identified as bisexual, but I've since discovered that I am far more a romantic asexual.  I like close companionship, intimacy and cuddling, but I really don't care much for sex.

I said bisexual. I find women more attractive, but when it comes to sex and relationships I want a man.

I learned early on that it was males, but didn't realize it was males even before that.

I can be romantically attracted to anyone of any gender...but when it boils right down to it, I'm only sexually attracted to women. Like, there are several of my guy friends that I have or have had a crush on, but ultimately, I wouldn't even pursue that, because sex eventually comes into play, and I just...couldn't. And I wouldn't want to hurt them like that.

I'm into masculinity. I just didn't even consider dating guys until I accepted that I was trans and that it was silly to try to define myself as heterosexual or homosexual or whatever. I know it's silly, but I didn't want to be trans or gay, so I dated butch women. Now that I'm pretty far into transition, and not as afraid of labels, I'm into men and butch women. Which I guess constitutes bisexuality kinda sorta...

Men.

Or f2m (never did it though); but my gawd.. he must be 5'10 at least.

Im a straight woman... no longer consider myself as gay.

dudes for sure although I would say its harder being romantically into guys cause most guys aren't as deep or romantic as me...

For me romance is about an individual and gender is irrelevant.  It is about sensuality and desire.  Or, all of the above works too.  I feel fortunate to be in a loving and currently exclusive LT relationship.  Dating would feel like starting over in 1st grade.  And then, who doesn't love a puppy or kitten?

Chicks.

While I sometimes get the sense that trans lesbians might be, sadly, a bit trans excluding, I am extremely attracted to both cis women and trans women, to the point that there are moments I find trans women even more attractive.  So yeah, I'm a lesbian and open to all women, but I find trans women the most alluring.

I get the same feeling at times too and have wondered about that....even though ive always only liked men I always mean both cis and trans men....not all trans men and not all cis men... even though I have always liked "male" anatomy (I know sounds cissexist) but I don't think being with a preop or non op trans guy would be bad even if I wasn't really attracted to that one area...Anyways ya I think its transphobic to say you only like (cis girls/guys) I may make a post about this right now

Cats, of course! 

"CATS... CATS ARE NICE"

women 100%  I just cant stand most the men around me behave. most of the men in my life seem like giant man childs

hmm, I only have FWBs because relationships are to messy for me. if anything goes further than that than i'm gone. yea I know, its wrong if me but I just can't get attached without feeling like imma get hurt, so I guess both but I'm claiming asexuality lol

Romantically I am pan, no questions.

Sexually I find being with a guy the least GD triggering.

for now!

I generally hate putting labels on things, but if I'm honest with myself, I'm mostly attracted to femme lesbians and femme/femme relationships are what I'm most comfortable with.  Alpha male type personalities are a complete turn off for me.  Realistically though, I'm open to "falling" for anyone, and some of my better relationships have been with people I never would have chosen on my own.  Technically, I guess that makes me pan, but since it's so situational, I don't really feel comfortable identifying myself that way.

I honestly don't know.

There is close to zero attraction to women sexually for me, but with men it really depends.

I love a man in uniform, LE or military. Some of the NJ state troopers today are just, well let's say I wouldn't mind if one of them decided to pull me over hehe.

But being with a guy scares me, knowing how they think based on my own experiences.

I'm attracted to the ladies but have entertained the idea of being with a guy.
