Is that just bicurious? (I’m asking in general, not as myself because I’m bi for sure.)

I know people probably ask this a lot but I genuinely want to know now.

    I don’t know people who date folks they’re not attracted to… that said, you can be homoromantic, heteroromantic, etc. Romantic and sexual attraction can be different.

      What if this person is sexually attracted to only men and can’t find romantic or sexual attraction towards women and just wants to? (It’s not me it’s someone I know)

          That makes sense. She only talks about how hot men are and how she wants a boyfriend. She only can name male crushes and gushes over male musicians and actors. She finds women pretty and wants to feel towards women how she does towards men but can’t find any that make her feel that way. She can’t name any women crushes shes had ever and she’s mainly indifferent towards women as a partner.

          So maybe straight, maybe straight + biromantic, no clue.

        If they genuinely have neither romantic nor sexual attraction to any women, just wishing they did, I’d call it “wanting to fit in/wanting to belong with a specific group” (in this case lesbian/bi groups/people), having no connection at all to one’s sexual orientation. Just a characteristic of humans social nature.

        Or being traumatized by men or something.
