Gynesexual or Gynephilic
People who identify as gynesexual or gynephilic have sexual attraction to femininity. Their sexual attraction is not necessarily based on a person's gender but rather their expression.

Ever since I was 13, I never felt like any titles fit. And for some reason, that always bothered me because it was always hard to explain my sexuality to people because lesbian didn't fit because I am attracted to some guys but I also felt like bisexual didn't fit because the selection of guys that I ever find attractive is very low. Most guys I just see as guys. I don't find them attractive. But very rarely, the right one will pop up and I'll become attracted to him. Thinking back of the guys I've dated, it all makes sense. Every single one of them were feminine in some form. And as for girls, I don't like butch women but there was also plenty of girls that I thought were cute but they weren't attractive to me.

Now it all makes sense and I feel like some weight that I didn't even know was there has been lifted.

Good! It's awesome that you've figured it out. Sexuality is a really tough thing to discover and a lot of times it can cause unhappiness. Good for you

Wow this is an interesting description - to be honest it could probably be applied to myself too. The men i'm (rarely) attracted too tend not to be very masculine in the archetypal sense. Would you say this attraction also applies to gay men who exhibit feminine qualities? Thanks for sharing, i'd be interested in knowing more

Yes. It does apply to gay men. I had the hugest crush on a gay guy once and it made me sad because I knew he wasn't attracted to women.

I can't find much on the topic but it fits perfectly!
