'''Aesthetic attraction''' is a form of physical attraction to a person's appearance. It is defined as an attraction to the way someone looks, or how they present themselves. It is typically based on a desire to observe someone because one finds them aesthetically pleasing. It is often described as a similar feeling to looking at a nice painting or landscape. In the [[A-Spec|a-spec]] community, it is typically useful to distinguish aesthetic attraction from [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]] and [[Romantic Attraction|romantic attraction]]. |
