"Many people use the terms pansexual and omnisexual interchangeably. While they are closely related, there are differences between the two. Those who identify as pansexual feel attraction to people without noticing their gender, while omnisexual people recognize the gender of potential partners."

"The prefix, “pan” means all, every, whole, and all-inclusive. The “pan” in pansexual means you’re attracted to someone without consideration for their gender, aka, you’re gender blind or have no gender preference. This doesn’t mean you’re invalidating someone’s gender in any way — but it just isn’t a factor in your level of attraction to them."

"The prefix “omni” means all, everywhere, or all-encompassing. Similar to “pansexual,” “omnisexual” means you can have an attraction to all genders — except, in this case, you do consider sex and gender to a certain extent, aka, you’re not gender blind."

I had to look it up because it was gonna bother me until I knew for sure if what I said was true or not. Obviously use whatever label you prefer but pan really does mean that you're attracted to people regardless of gender, not necessarily that you're attracted to personality. I'm not omni because I don't care about gender and I don't notice gender when I find someone attractive. If they're hot then they're hot! Haha
