    It fluctuates but generally not often. Maybe I'll take notice of 1 girl every few months (as in, as she passes by). I have extremely high standards. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I notice a lot of people that I think look nice, but not a lot of people who rev my engines, if you catch my drift. Attraction is very mental to me.

    I suppose I'd feel more attraction if I spent more time talking to people outside of work or passing familiarity around town.

    I notice attractive people but I'm rarely into anyone, could be because I'm dating someone and my brain tells me no lol

    I too notice certain people as being attractive/pleasing to the eye, but I wouldn't say I actually have an attraction to them until we talk and the conversation and person then peaks my interest. Then there is a level of attraction there. So that doesn't happen too often, at least not romantically/sexually. Although this could be in part because I am in a long-term relationship so I regulate my interactions with others. When I am single I find more people attractive in a romantic/sexual way.

    I notice attractive guys every day, but I get turned on much more rarely by them.

    I notice attractive people all the time, but I always prevent myself from becoming attracted to them unless I know they're gay... If that makes sense. Except one straight friend of mine who I'm a little attracted to. -.-

    Pretty much what most everyone else has said already. Obviously one can take notice to physical attractiveness but it'll take some genuine getting to know before I'm able to truly get 'turned on' by someone.

    So you can turn that off? ... I guess the better question is how you regulate the interactions with others? Though I too am in a long term relationship, its hard on the occasion I'm around people with strong passions. Instantly mystified/captivated.

    Womp.:confused:

    It's rare for me, sometimes I might see a girl who looks appealing to me. There a lot of attractive women out there, but rarely does one spark my interest or make me want to approach them and get to know them. I'm attracted to my ex, but it's been like that for as long as I've known her.

    I'd say about once a month I'll find someone that really snags my interest. Sometimes it leads to a cool friendship, so I guess sometimes we can feel drawn to people that we don't necessarily have romance-y feeling towards.

    Rarely if ever, when I do become attracted to someone, it can stay that way for years. I guess you can say I'm naturally monogamous, since I'm that way even over crushes I can't have xD

    Pretty frequently. With one glaring exception, the feeling has never been mutual.

    All the time--especially in the Spring for some reason. Seriously I feel like people are expecting too much from attraction. I'm attracted a lot--doesn't mean I always act on it, certainly doesn't mean I fall in love. I think a friend of mine summed it up well--sometimes you look at a guy and think, aaahh I bet we'd have a dog, and sometimes you just think, well, we could f&^*% behind the dumpsters. My friend's colorful... but I agree with the sentiment.:lol:
