Is this not normal? I’m allo but I know when a man/woman is attractive even if *I’m* not attracted to them

Like I can recognize that someone is conventionally attractive but it doesn’t mean *I* feel attracted

35

??? I’m pretty sure it’s normal, cause I’m an ace lesbian and I can absolutely look at certain men and understand why people might be attracted without personally being attracted. Also isn’t it decently common for straight women to recognize how pretty their friends are without attraction?

This is normal. I’m in now way asexual but I can recognize if someone is attractive and not my type. Like men with beards, I can recognize they’re attractive, but not be into them

this is 100% a normal thing to do lmao

I think it is normal, across cultures attractiveness is having a symmetrical face and being well-groomed. Even if youre not sexually attracted to someone you can visually tell these criteria

22

as someone who is bisexual and loves sex and relationships and is very much not ace, that is 100% normal

13

Ok so whoever tf told me (outside of this post) that this was only an ace thing was on some shit, like it seems I’m half right but like my b on causing arguments y’all

12

Y’all! Yes anybody can tell when ppl meet standards of attractiveness, the weird ace thing is the fact that this is all we ever get. Like can you not envision the conversation that must have happened where OP is like “yea they’re super attractive but I’m not attracted to them” and got called a weirdo for it??? The point is yes it’s normal but ppl are still gonna judge you for it if it’s part of a consistent pattern for you that puts you outside the norm, keep up
