Why are we attracted to same sex people who look like the opposite sex?

i see your point but it can all be explained by science.

 

Because your body doesn't dictate your personality and actions. I like all sorts of different qualities in people, but I know I'm not especially keen on vaginas, so if I just liked the feminine aspects of a woman and not the actual womanly parts of a woman, it stands to reason I would look for the same in a man.

 

I would love to know this! I often see a girl dressed really feminine and I think wow she would be so cute if she was a man, Crazy!!

 

For me personally, it's because breaking gender roles is sexy. Masculine women and feminine men go against what is expected of our genders that it becomes kind of a turn-on. This is just sexual attraction, of course. I don't have much of a preference romantically.

 

Actually...I want to know the answer to this. As a woman who is attracted to feminine women...I want to know the answer to this regarding women who are attracted to more masculine dressed/acting women.

 

I haven't been interested in many feminine men because most I've met have had unpleasant personalities, but I probably don't have any preference either way. Androgynous model Andrej Pejić is one of the hottest men I know, but I really, really like masculine men – as in tall, muscular and rough.

 

She prefers female pronouns so...

I think we just have different preferences. Some straight guys like very feminine women and some like women who can get dirty with them and go outdoors with them, for instance.

I prefer masculine men (or center-masculine, if you can call it that) and am personally not particularly feminine.

 

I'm not sure, because I'm not really like that. I'm not attracted to the "manly" look, so I'm not attracted to girls that look like guys. Just my preference.

 

I'm not sure, although i haven't personally had any relationship with either feminine or masculine gays, I seem to be attracted to masculine guys who can sweep me off my feet

But i think everyone of us has different preferences, which can be either through sexual attraction or non-sexual attraction (like personality/qualities). Science can prove it i suppose...

 

Exactly. And of course for dudes too.

Yeah this too. Like it's all it really is. I don't know we always have to have reasons to be attracted to certain gender(s) and the types or whatever within that. Like some other people, I see it all just like liking something like (wow three likes so close together lol) ice cream or a genre of music, and then within those two things it's the type/flavour of ice cream you like and what artists you like.

 

I like my women feminine and my men masculine, so "we" aren't all like that. Also it's a thing called preference and taste, everyone's is different.

 

Because androgyny is awesome.

 

There are probably thousands of different answers to this question, but for me, it involves a balance, being on the softer, more feminine side. A lot of women would fall under the slightly masculine or tomboyish category, but for a man with similar traits, he might be considered more center of the line and typical.

I couldn't tell you exactly why I'm attracted to gender-non conforming people, other than it's easier to relate to them on several levels, and I find their expression a lot more interesting than your average manly man or girly girl. The fact that they don't really give a toss for what society dictates is also pretty damn awesome and a turn on, more than anything else.

For some people, it's the genitals... for me, expression and personality seem to play a larger role.

Also this. :lol:

 

Oh, didn't know that. That's cool. I'll change my view on her to "one of the hottest persons I know", now on the list of both men and women. I wish I could pull off the androgynous look as well as she...

 

I'm not attracted to feminine guys at all.

 

You could same the same for straight people who go for 'laddettes' (as they called them in the 90s) or those skinny emo boys with floppy hair, why aren't they just gay?

I wonder this myself though. I fancy women who look a bit mannish, but if I saw a man who looked exactly the same I wouldn't find it attractive, which I can't get my head round. I think it's like someone said above, there's something sexy about androgeny.
