Curious question..

I'm a gay man. As a gay man, I always get attracted more to the top/seme ML. As long as manly.

What about for girls though? I just recently discovered that they get attracted to men showing their feminine side. Do you actually get attracted more to the bottom/uke in Manga/Manhwa pairs?

    ah I just asked the similar qs to the community.

    i am a female and i recently start reading bl and discover that I reallyyy really like uke in bl pairs. I CRUSH so hard.

    Like, I like how... submissive they are (loll idk what the suitable word for this) and how cute and gentle they are when talking and fu*king.

    But, im not a dominant to be fair. Just like this side of man and hopefully can date one.

    I'm a gay woman and tbh kind of both? It's less about the characters and their figure, and about the FX around them and how the "camera shots" depict them. I don't need to desire the character, if I feel like they are desirable to the other character. Generally good pacing in smut is more enjoyable than any lightsaber to me. This means that usually the bottom ends up being more attractive, as authors typically make the top obsess over him and the bottom is made to be a bit more reluctant. It's like, why would I find this guy sexy, if his love interest doesn't?

    As a straight woman, im always attracted to feminine guys, in fact they’re my type, but i never and dont like to pursue them cos I’m extremely introverted according to my therapist. Most of the time, they’re always gay. Rarely when they’re straight or bi, I’m just not the type to go after men (or approach anyone like making friends or so), and at the end there were nothing between me and my crushes. My bf is not feminine at all, hes just an average masculine guy who approached me first so yeah, we’re dating.

    No i get attracted to bottom who are dominant and tops who are submissive (or puppy seme) but manly tops are also fine... But I don't like bottom who are feminine, weak or submissive...

    It really depends what they look like and their personality
    I go both ways and swing both ways for “rainbow city”
    The Uke (Dr.Seokhwa) IS SO SO ADORABLE I WANNA SPOIL HIM ROTTEN AND HUG HIM LIKE A TEDDY BEAR. HES SO PRETTY TOO TO THE POINT IM JELLY OF THE SEME

    the seme (Major Kwak Suhwan) have you seen that man??? SHEEEEESH. I love his fuckboy personality and how he has a soft spot for only the one he loves (the Uke). He’s so fierce but is so soft around Dr.Seok but is strict when he needs to be is SO LOVEABLE

    The side character (Major Lee Chae Yun) this is what I mean when I say I swing both ways when it comes to rainbow city. Major Lee, despite being a side character IS SO CLUTCH. She CARRIED the series despite barely having any screen time and never betrayed her own principals. She’s strong but isn’t arrogant and knows when to do what in order to stay alive. She knows when to joke and when to get serious and helped out the seme and Uke so much. I LOVE HER.

    But yea, it depends.

    Gay woman dito baks. Depende talaga sa pagkakaportray ng author sa character/s, character-wise (design, brains, etc) and their dynamic with the other character.

    Pero sa tingin ko, most of the girls that I know, nag-lelean towards the top characters sila.

    for me it depends on their personality and how they're written, sometimes it's the seme or the uke

    If it's just in fiction, as long as ML is dreamy and non toxic. I usually can continue read even tho there's some toxicity just because I wanna see how it ends

    Thats very subjective. Majority of girls I know prefer masculine guys. I remember in school we were talking about sexuality and they asked a class of girls whether they would like feminine men and no one raised their hand. Personally I’m not attracted to feminine guys, the top is the main selling point for me
