No, they're not the same.
Being attracted to a woman means that I want to get her know her better, be in a relationship with her, and ultimately have sex with her. I was attracted to my SO on our first date.
Finding someone attractive means that they are pretty but there's no real desire to know them better or have sex with them. I find Gal Gadot attractive, but I have no intention of even meeting her.
The former is actually having romantic feelings/emotions for them, and the latter is more of a unbiased neutral stance. Like "Scarlett Johannson is considered a very attractive woman" even if you aren't personally attracted to her. Or, "Kim Kardashian has a very attractive body, even though I find her to be very annoying and I'd never date her."
It's like different states of hunger.
When you're attracted to someone, it's like your starving and they're the bowl of icecream - you crave to devour them all.
Finding someone attractive is like when you're full, look over and notice that yes, the icecream looks delicious, but you don't want to eat it.
Nope. If you're attracted to someone, then you'll wanna be around them, take the effort to get to know them, actually want to date them, etc. If you find someone attractive, that's great, but it doesn't necessarily mean you want to date them or be with them or anything like that. So no, they are not the same thing.

Finding someone attractive anyone can, even the commited couples.
It just means u looked at someone and found them attractive but no desire.
Now, being attracted involves loads of more feelings and similar...
Like, you'd like to date that person if possible.
That's what I think at least Lol😂
That’s not the same , just cuz you think someone looks attractive doesn’t mean you are attracted to them , Being attracted to someone means you want them in your arms etc. I am not gay what so ever but I see other guys at times and think he is a good looking guy that he probably gets tons of girls lol in no way shape or form do I want him in my arms lol
No, Just because someone is attracted doesn't mean that you are attracted to them
I do not think so.
Just because someone looks nice, that does not guarantee that they are a nice person that you would enjoy being around them.
Like judge judy says, beauty fades, dumb is forever.
For me personality is far more important than someone that just looks pretty.
You answered the question for your own point of view. Does that apply to men as well? I think they're two separate things. I can certainly find a woman to be attractive in the abstract, and not "feel" attracted to or stimulated by her. Something to do with "not being my type".
It is not. Being attracted to someone means you desire some form of non-platonic relationship with them, even if it's just for the night. Finding someone attractive, on the other hand, is when you look at someone and acknowledge that they're attractive.
Being attracted to someone it means you like them in many levels.
You feel something for them.
, but finding someone attractive means you think someone is hot or good looking.
You can find many hot people it doesn't mean you will date them all
Hmm. Technically, no. Because I think "being attracted to" means you're attracted to their whole person. You actually want THEM. Whereas just finding someone attractive just means you think they're hot in an objective way but not in a personal way. I hope that makes sense.
Being attracted to someone is when you usually think about them when they are not with you and finding someone attractive is just when you see someone and you find them attractive so that's the difference.
But it might be completely different for you Women so I don't know.
Yes. I feel like being attracted to someone is less superficial than finding someone attractive, which sounds like attraction simply based on looks and the perception of how you see them without really knowing them.
No, I’ve dated an attractive (fine) guy that I just wasn’t attracted to. I also became attracted to an unattractive (look wise) guy because of his personality.
What are you? Some mentally underdeveloped tween?
You should know the difference between infatuation and attraction by the time you finish high school.
It's not the same thing. Many times I have seen women that I found visually appealing, aka "attractive", but did not have any interest in pursuing her romantically or sexually.
No I would say not at all, I have been physically attracted to women. I have found many women pretty and very sexy, but I was not in least attracted to them personally. But I would of banged them any.
There are different types of attraction. Finding another girl elegant and appealing isn't sexual attraction, you just want to identificate with her.
Nope. I can tell when a male is attractive but I am not attracted to males.
You have to be attracted to them to find them attractive.
Not the same. Finding someone attractive for me means they look aesthetically pleasing, whereas being attracted means you want to sex them up.
No, somebody might be considered attractive but they are not attractive to me for one reason as another.
Let put it this way, just because you like the way something looks doesn't meant you would want to wear it. That make sense?
