Please help me urgently
i have never found anybody attractive, never been able to call someone "hot" "pretty" "cute" whatever. I have only been sexually attracted to people I have a close bond to such as long term partners. but never found anyone physically attractive/appealing. But I can point out people that society/social groups would find attractive, based on what those people find attractive, I myself as I explained do not find people attractive. is this normal? that I know what others find attractive but I myself do not? can anyone else who doesnt find people physically appealing do this? i just need to hear some sort of reassurance

Is it a problem for him ? Not to find anyone particularly beautiful ? Once he's in love, does he begin to find "attractiveness" in the one he loves ?
For him, everyone is ugly ? Or just "nor beautiful nor ugly" ? (sorry if this sentence isn't grammatically correct)

To the OP, sorry for taking so long seeing your thread! I've had connection issues with the internet recently, or I'd've spotted it quite a bit sooner. >_<
Yes, what you describe is 'normal.' People on the ace spectrum don't have to experience attraction to be able to recognize what society has taught them represents attractiveness. Every culture has its own aesthetics that it pushes on us every time we see a piece of media with people in it. Certain facial features are exaggerated, emphasized, enhanced. Certain body types are displayed more than others. It is totally normal to be conscious of your culture's aesthetics as represented by their media, even if you don't feel attraction based on those aesthetics.
