If I’m pan do I have to be attracted to all genders equally? When I’m into some1 I don’t really take into account their gender, but at the same time when knowing some1 on the surface level I feel more attraction towards some genders than others…

Nope. Having preferences is completely normal

wellll if you wanna get technical then pansexuals (by definition) don't have preferences, and omnisexual is the term for liking all genders and having preferences. BUT it's just semantics at that point and no one is going to judge you or question it if you say you're pan, and there's really no significant difference between the two. so tldr you can use whatever label you want

And it’s not to say I don’t feel attraction to some, I think everyone’s attractive in their own way, it’s just that I’m very conflicted here because I resonate the most with pan but I don’t want it to be taken the wrong way by others. Also when I say I don’t take into account gender I mean I still respect what they go by 1000%, it’s just that it’s not a deciding factor in how attracted I am to them… any help is appreciated!!
