I totally agree. It's not necessarily about feeling an attraction - it's about recognizing attractiveness. For example, I think my younger brother is a really good looking guy. Am I attracted to him? Hell no! But I can still recognize that he is, in fact, attractive.

That said, I do think taste still plays a role.
