aesthetic attraction: wow that exists

Never seen it explained like this. Thank you for finally putting in a way that people can understand. But may i just add:

Platonic attraction: wow i wanna befriend that

This is really simplistic and helpful. People who know I’m ace can get confused when I’m like ‘ oh, look at that actress, she’s gorgeous’. It’s aesthetic- her facial symmetry, makeup, shine of her hair… every thing comes together in a way that my mind notices and appreciates. I don’t want to fuck her, date her, or cuddle her… I just want to stare and be amazed that such a beautiful thing exists.
