So how is that different to being attracted to both genders? Someone who's bi wouldn't care which gender they date.

A bi person would consider dating a man because they are sexually attracted to men and a bi person would consider dating a woman because they are sexually attracted to women. A pan person would consider dating both, but not because of sexual attraction to gender.

Again, I don't see why that needs a different label. Bi people can like both genders and prioritize personality instead of looks, and that doesn't make them "pan".

Do you draw a line between a bisexual who puts personality before sexual attraction, and someone who is "pansexual" ?

You dont see the difference between somebody who is sexually attracted to both genders and somebody who does not care for gender?

Really? Sleep on it. Theres a pretty obvious difference lol.

That’s not really what this thread was about.

Enlighten me, pretend I (and anyone else who doesn't see why "pansexuality" is a thing) am an idiot. How is there a difference between someone who is attracted to both genders, and someone who doesn't mind why gender they date?

Well... to get blunt (might as well, Ive tried everything else), a bi person is typically sexually aroused by cock, pussy and tits. A pan person is not. They are sexually aroused by a persona, they dont care what bodyparts you have.

If that doesn’t work, then sleep on it.

Still not seeing why this needs a new label. Typically speaking, genitals on their own aren't all that attractive - how many girls actually appreciate dickpics? Very few, because an out of context nob isn't attractive. People of any sexuality can be aroused by a personality instead of genitals, and that doesn't make them a subset of hetero/homo/bisexuality.

Or a new sexuality full stop.

Sorry Withano but this is a massive oversimplification of the concept of attraction

I know. I’m slowly giving up, the more thoughtful posts were towards the beginning.

Therefore a child with a cracking personality could attract the pans person..if its only personality that they become attracted to..man woman horse or child...just as long as they have the type of personality that attracts them.

Or maybe the "pan" person would just want basic friendship with the child, especially if they had similar interests in regards to videogames or whatever. Again, not something which needs a new label.
