Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

I would consider myself generally attracted to an entire gender. The degrees of attraction is what varies. It goes from low to high based on something mysterious in my brain. I also recognize that is how I happen to be wired but others are wired differently. In the end, that diversity of wiring keeps humans interesting and diverse in both thinking and biology.

Technically speaking I would assume you are at most attracted to an entire gender of your own species, possibly also limited to certain age ranges.

True. And funny thing to add to that. As I age, so does that wiring. Where I used to put more weight on appearance, I'm now more likely to be turned off by certain behaviors one might describe as pedantry.

When I was younger let's say 10, I couldn't understand how people found older people attractive. It is amazing how it changes over time. Had you asked me if I thought a 50 year old women could be attractive, to me at 10, never could have.. at 35.. they are slowly becoming more and more attractive.
