Why or why not?

If so, would it depend on how they present or their assigned gender at birtb or something else?

(Edit: fixed AGAB to confuse less people. Sorry people.)

    As a straight man I am attracted to women. I have seen plenty AFAB enbys who are attractive. I have also seen plenty of AMAB trans women who are attractive. I have seen plenty of AFAB women who are attractive.

    I once heard that sexual attraction is just a vibe and I really like that description. So if they hit my vibe I am in.

    As someone with a non-binary partner I feel obligated to answer. Sure, I don’t really care what they were born as, as long as they’re polite and actually love me, I don’t really care if they’re non-binary or a woman (I could be biased though since I never dated a non-binary person who was birthed a male, my non-binary partner was born a woman so I don’t really know)

    Yeah, if we were into each other. How they present and their AGAB matching my own preferences would be a factor.

    But at the end of the day, my “straightness” is just a convenient label. If someone gets voted in by the Tribunal (Heart, Mind, and Cock), all labels are ultimately superfluous.

    Yes.

    I see two scenarios. One, they catfish me if they can pass for a regular straight man. How I react to this when I find out will depend a lot on their personality and how everything unfolded, but it’s very likely I’d be very angry about them lying.

    The other scenario is one in which our personalities click really well, so well we would be besties. But the advances would theirs. Again, how I respond to these advances would vary a lot but if we already have that exceptional affinity then it’s likely to go well. I think looks would be important here, they don’t need to look masculine but they would need to have somewhat conventionally attractive features. I’m boring and limited like that, sorry.

    I’d be surprised if a straight dude would date a non-binary person with a dick. Less surprised but similarly with straight women and vaginas.

    That sounds like it would only work if the straight person can easily interpret the non-binary person as “basically like a cis man/woman just with different pronouns”, and the non-binary person either has the same set of genitals that you’d expect based on their appearance, or the straight person just doesn’t care about unexpected genitals, which seems rare.

    But I’m bi, so I wouldn’t know.

      Lol, the whole ‘non-binary’ thing is so weird to me, since I like the lads and the lassies. As long as they tick the attractive boxes, like confident, smart, and being into me, it’s like getting a christmas morning present every time I wake up next to them.

        It’s not well-defined or anything. It’s basically a wastebin kind of classification, as in ‘oh I’m not this or that, so i guess I’m non-binary’.

        It also acts as a holding space for people who haven’t figured our who they want to be.

        in my interactions iwth non-binary people, there are a lot of them who seem to be into that classification of themselves as some sort of ‘fighting the patriarchy’ or ‘refusing to be labeled’ type of teenage rebellion attitude stuff. also a lot of poly, alt, kink, etc lifestyle folks, at least on my dating apps.

    Of course. I like fit folks, if your fit, and look good, kinda doesn’t matter what your chosen identity is. I’ll be honest, I’m not really into bright colors in hair, but the only real deal breaker is if your unreliable, dishonest or emotionally unavailable

    I’ve been happily married for a long time, but I do occasionally wonder what I would do if I lost my wife. I would probably date by vibes, and if someone I found attractive was interested in dating me i don’t think i’d care much how they identify.

    This is a question that’s been brought up irl recently (alongside whether I would date a trans woman) and the honest answer is I simply don’t know. I’d have to be presented with someone non-binary who I’m attracted to (and just as importantly, vice versa) to really form an opinion.

    I lean towards probably not, but there’s been two occasions I’ve been surprised at my impression of non-AGAB, feminine presenting person. But two people vs. many more cis-women, so idk.

    It is a pretty striking “well, this is new” experience when you’re not expecting it though. And it did get a warranty sold, that much I’ll admit.

    Don’t know. Probably not. I, straight female, have been attracted to straight presenting males since as long back as I have memories. But if I was prepubescent now and going forward, who knows, maybe my attractions would have changed?

    Straight guy here. As long as they have the body parts I’m interested in and plan on keeping them, I don’t care what gender they align with.

      Are you really interested in body parts only? Like (I suppose you’re a straight man), a man with a beard and muscles but with a vagina would turn you on?

          Point of order - non-binary people sometimes medically transition. We might not choose all the options to swap to a full binary presentation but target things which cause us duress.

          Non-binary is under the trans umbrella though not every Non-binary person identifies as trans. There are political enbies or people who see their ambivalence towards gender and sex characteristics entirely as being an expression of a Non-binary experience while others experience the same euphoria/dysphoria to their natal sex characteristics that binary trans people do but desire more of an absence of all sex characteristics or a mix of male and female phenotypic traits.

          Your statement in effect only describes a fraction of Non-binary people.

          They could be. Transitioning doesnt stop them from choosing to identify with a non-binary gender.

          Are you thinking of intersex? Even in that scenario, I don’t believe that statement applies.

            Then no, I wouldn’t be with them if they’ve transitioned. That’s part of the “keeping the parts I’m attracted to”.
