Ideromantic is the romantic attraction to people individually where gender is not a factor. The “idea” of a person, their abstract qualities, character or, as many would describe,“personality”. Usually defined by a lack of physical preferences or not experiencing/comprehending gendered attraction. It differs from panromantic, as panromantic individuals may have physical preferences that have nothing to do with gender, while still being genderblind. For example, they may prefer someone with blonde hair over someone with brown, without regarding their gender. Ideromantic, however, is the attraction to someone despite gender or physical appearance.
The sexual counterpart to ideromantic is idesexual, the aesthetic counterpart is ideaesthetic.
