    I find sometimes I'm attracted to people that look like someone else I know or used to know (even if I wasn't attracted to that person). This isn't always the case. I'm just curious if anyone else ever feels like that? :slight_smile:

    Weirdly enough, it's the same for me. I usually find masculine girls more attractive, but they all tend to look/act the same anyways. I just try to brush it off as a coincidence.

    You may find the visual familiarity comforting.

    Not really sure if it's anything other than that and coincidence

    I'm pretty sure this is a genuine psychological thing. Everyone has i to some extent.. It's sort of why racism exists. People are just scripted to be drawn to the familiar.
