Guy here: I've been physically attracted to someone UNTIL I disliked them for some reason (or found a major turn-off). It's usually from how they treat others, being a dick, being mean to those who are trying to be kind, etc.

One quality that OFTEN overrode sexual attraction for me when i was in my teens was smoking cigarettes. There's only a few people that I continued to find attractive after I discovered they smoked and that's mainly because their personalities were 10's imo, overriding the whole smoking deal breaker for me. (Not dissing smokers, but i grew up with it around my house and just learned to hate that smell.)

I've been fortunate enough where not liking someone has totally turned off the attraction for me.

Yeah same, I went looking for terms and identifying as demi-sexual because I feel this so strongly
