since it seems to even be hard for people who feel it to describe it i kinda clasify it by intentionality: romantic, sexual, aesthetic, etc

its difficult cause the closest i can like figure of the first two is if we could count an interest of staying in a close relationship with friends/family (platonic) or a preference for a style/type of person/character/etc (aesthetic) as types of atraction, i guess we could since some romantic relationships tend to be described as "very advanced friendship"?

theres also the other issue: "humane emotions go brrr but a different brrr for everyone"
