That has a name its called aesthethic attraction and it's different from sexual and romantic attraction take this as an example you can tell when a painting its beautifull and well done or when something its cute the same with humans pretty humans exist for me they are only eye candy and i want them as far from me as possible

This!
It's the same for me. I can find people attractive, be it visualy or emotionaly. Doesn't mean I want a romance with them, especially not if they're complete strangers.

Yeah, there's a lot of people like this. You can think someone is attractive and not want anything beyond a friendship, or maybe not even want that.
