Is it normal to want to be something you're attracted to?

Okay, so usually people want to ATTRACT things that they like, rather than be that said thing.

Like if a girl wants to attract a handsome boy (or a douche, take your pick) they try to be pretty. Or if a guy likes a pretty girl (or a slutty one, ha) then he tries to be more of an attractive male to them.

But when I see something attractive I have such an urge just to be that, because I find it attractive... you know? I don't understand why other people don't do that. I've discussed this with a friend before and we decided it has something to do with gender ambiguity or the likes, but i'm never sure how many OTHER people have this..so I ask you, is this normal?

    Very interesting question... which is dappled-speak for "I don't know the answer". :)

    I can see what you mean to an extent, but it doesn't apply for people (female) that I'm attracted to, only people (male) that I think are attractive.

    It's the cross-gender thing that is curious in your case. Would you like to be male? Do you feel female?

    Even time I like a guy, I always imagine myself as him; everything I do, everything I say. I don't know why. I've always been this way, though.

    I'm like that too... Maybe it's to attract someone like yourself, and not in a narcissistic way or anything, but because you would understand them just as you understand yourself...

    Being yourself is attractive enough!

    yeah i think everyone does it a little. because they think since acting like that is attractive to them it will be attractive to other people.

    It's normal, I'd say.
    The question is, what do you find attractive: Your own, or the opposite gender?
