[@gracelovely3838]

The whole thing Shaaba was describing about changing attraction based on how people act seems very similar to what I experience as a pansexual person, which is super interesting. It also goes both ways for me, where someone might become more attractive as I get to know them. Brains are crazy

[@animeartist888]

Same! It doesn't matter how physically attractive they are initially- that first impression can change drastically if they turn out to be a bigot or something. Ditto for if I'm not attracted initially and then find out they're super sweet and considerate. The second one is my current husband's journey ahahaha

[@TheDarwinProject1]

As someone who is demi/pan, I've always thought that was a demi thing. I don't just see people as more attractive (even platonically, like friends) when I like the person/personality more, but also can find people as less attractive if I like them/their personality less.

I have been questioning whether I'm demi myself partially because of this. I mainly only have sexual fantasies with guys I'm infatuated with (celebrity or not), and if I realize my crush is a bad person or we have vastly different values, I'm no longer attracted to him. I started thinking that might mean something about my sexuality when someone I know started a sexual relationship with a physically attractive colleague she hated as a person, which just boggled my mind.

@Ray-hk1zm Thank you for using "close personal attachment" not "until you love them"! So often I see it phrased like that and it makes me cringe. Not just for the aromantic folk who are also demisexual, but because it's possible for it to be ANY deep emotional connection, for example an aesthetically pleasing person you felt no sexual attraction towards until you despised them utterly, then bam! Hate-f*ck territory. It's the opposite of the "I liked them until they were a jerk" response they were talking about.

What Shaaba is describing about attraction changing when a person acts a certain way is pretty similar to how I sometimes feel being a demi asexual person. A good, compatible personality is literally necessary for physical attraction and a bad one is a genuine turn off and makes someone feel ugly.

I swear the outer appearance of a person changes depending on whether i like them as a person or not, and it isn't a "what a waste of a pretty face" or "your beauty is non important to me now" type of thing, it's fully "you are not pretty anymore". Also the reverse, if i start liking someone as a person it doesn't matter if i found them average or whatever before, they then start looking cute- not "i like you so now i appreciate your looks" but actually a "damn, youre cute".

I absolutely have the same bad person= unattractive experience as Shaaba. I'm asexual af, but demi-romantic and I've never developed a crush on anyone based on appearance. I find some features aesthetically attractive, but when I learn what they are like it can either drop them to "nothing special" or boost them to "most beautiful person on the planet" from a physical standpoint. Yes the physical features are the same, but something about the definitely personality affects how I perceive those features.

13:19 This, but for me, it's usually the opposite: someone gets physically more attractive to me if they have a great sense of humor. In fact, Ryan Gosling never really did much for me.

[@terrylynn7936]

about finding people less attractive when they turn out to be terrible people, I absolutely know what you mean, I even have moments where I don't care about someone's looks until they turn out to be a cool person and they start looking more attractive to me. I think this is because we start associating prominent features with their character. Like, when I see someone who looks similar to a close friend of mine, I immediately feel comfortable around them and find them attractive, while when I see someone who looks like someone I don't like, their looks constantly remind me of that, and so I can't find them attractive. That, of course, can change once I get to know them, but at first, my brain will have that association.

For my example there was a woman I knew that has a horrible personality and thoughts/opinions that I find repulsive. As time went by she truly got physically ugly to me. Everything about her, hair, face, shape, voice became gross/annoying to me. On the flip side I've had people become more physically attractive to me based on their character etc to the point that I became attracted to them. I have since been told that this is an aspect connected to demi sexuality that some folks have. Hope it helps to know others understand and it may well be another aspect to your sexuality!

Initially I mostly only noticed my aesthetic attractions towards males as an AFAB person due to social norms and not yet fully understanding the 🏳‍🌈 community but when I discovered my female aesthetic attractions that totally confused me, especially in light of my being a demigirl with chest dysphoria, lol. I was all over the map trying to understand myself for almost 20 years before finally discovering the existence of asexuality, aromanticism, and demigenders to explain myself and it was a huge relief when I also discovered the existence of aesthetic attraction on top of that because it explained my confusion so well.

mortica, but from the (black and white) series! and the from the movies only the older movie 😬 uhh, and have you ever watched original 21 jump street?

[@teriboudreaux6743]

Yall need to watch Lip Service. It's kinda like the L World but set in Glasgow. Its such a great show. Ruta Gedmintas (Frankie in the show) is so freaking hot.

I agree with Jamie in the Johnny Depp comparison. ❤

I'm here for all of these Victorious vibes 😂 I too think of that song whenever I hear "Chicago" lol. Also on Bend it Like Beckham, I watched it once as a teen and then rewatched it recently and I genuinely forgot that Jules and Jess don't get together in the end. I was convinced they were gonna be lesbians. The vibes were so strong I deadass misremembered the movie

I realized I liked women, that I liked both and all between, when I saw Grace Jones in Conan the Destroyer. I was absolutely gobsmacked, sitting in my seat, stunned at her glorious beauty and I would follow her anywhere, even now 30 plus years later. I can think of no better person to have turn my head than Grace Jones.

Skeet is well-known for looking similar to a young Johnny Depp to the point that Jamie Kennedy jokes about it in the bloopers for Scream.

[@sweariefaerie9621]

Also, should we have a movie night for Shaaba to learn every word of Chicago? And maybe hate watch Rent?😅

I loooved the live action Peter Pan when i was a kid, the soundtrack is really great too! But dont think he was a childhood crush 😅 Awakenings possibly were Hayden Christensen as Anakin in the prequels, Morgana in Merlin, a whole bunch of animated awesome female charactersn(Korra, Catra), David Tennant as Crowley, life is strange was not so much an awakening as a confirmation lol

[@betheticc]

omg sugar rush was also a bi awakening for me!

[@Speilbilde]

Morgana from Merlin was forsure one of mine 😂 She is so damn pretty

[@kisshulove]

Legolas and Aragorn GOALS since the first movie came out. Same for pirate of the caribbean:o

[@xxprettylittlethings]

Chel from Road to El Dorado

[@hexonyou]

there's a reason the bisexual meme is miguel, tulio, and chel being the awakening trifecta lol. Much like The Mummy's cast, also.

[@xxprettylittlethings]

@@hexonyou see, I WAS Evelyn so I didn't get it with The Mummy movies. It was just all Rick, only Rick for me.

[@raspberryitalia3464]

Zorro, specifically the sword fight in the stable ☠️ my poor bisexual heart

[@sharyebethancourt3660]

13:28 I totally get this and it makes sense to me. People become more attractive with an accent. Like, physically more attractive. This

[@sandraroehrig9142]

Love Morticia and Gomez! ❤ Skeet definitely looks like a young Johnny Depp. I believe it was an homage to his roll in Nightmare on Elm Street.

[@KelseyKo26]

I did not realize why I liked the movie Stick It so much when I was younger until I watched Castle when I was in college and realized my crush on both Castle and Beckett was because I was bi and that made me realize when I was younger I had a crush on Missy Peregrym and still do now lol

[@lostinmymind8147]

Why was Gerard Way not on that list? 😅
