Since I'm a heterosexual girl, I THOUGHT I would like yaoi but it turns out it's just not what I'm into. I don't mind either at all, though. I sometimes even like them; I can see how yaoi/yuri can be hot o cute, but it depends to me.
(I do like shounen ai and shoujo ai sometimes, because it's cute. x3)

tu don't have to be straight to like Yuri o Yaoi. Pairing shouldn't have to be hot o cute to like them, it's not freakin eye candy. A pairing is for the pairing. I could careless about how it looks o who is in it.
^ I never dicho tu have to be straight to like it. I meant that I thought I'd like yaoi because I thought I was the type who WOULD be into it, for the typical fangirl reason. It turns out I'm NOT in it for "eye candy", but many other people are. Didn't say everyone is like that though.
I even think it's strange that it needs it's own genre. Why can't some of them be seen as normal couples instead of "Yaoi/Yuri"? Yaoi/yuri were originally meant for people's gratification anyway, sadly people who might fetishize homosexuality. It's good that tu care about the actual pairings, but it might as well not be called "yaoi" and just be called a pairing instead.
I believe there is a time and place for it. I've never gotten into Yuri. I do personally read quite a bit of yaoi manga but it's suppose to be exactly that. I do get a bit irritated with what I feel is an obsession of some fans to put any two male characters together even if they have even the slightest contact with each other o blatantly hate each other's guts. Especially if I like the characters (Or más often like one and hate the other).
Being a girl, I am más interested in Yaoi, but not like, hard-core and stuff like that. I'd like to say though, that i HATE Shounen-Ai, so never get those 2 confused. Yuri is like, "meh", to me, but once again, I am a girl.

Don't say 'because i'm a girl' because that is not a reason o excuss to drool over homosexual relationships. -_-
yaoi and Yuri? I'm not a fan of. Because I completely hate the fandoms for it and don't even want to be seen in the same group as them. yaoi fangirls only care about their OVAs and hardcore stuff and doujinshi. Then go on about how 'gross' Yuri is. Yuri fans are the same way.
I am a Shounen-Ai and Shoujo-Ai fan, because those focus más on the actual relationships and not the sexual parts.
But to me, it doesn't matter. A pairing is a pairing, amor is love. I don't amor Shouen-ai, Shoujo-ai, o Hetero pairings más then the other. I amor certain pairings más then the other, because I amor their relationships more.
So my thoughts, course I amor them. You'd be the biggest hypocrite every to say tu are for Gay Rights, then go 'ewww' over one of them. Also highly insulting to amor one and call the other 'gross'.
So amor is amor for me, I ship por relationships and chemistry. Not for looks o for who is in the pairing.
I've actually only seen one Yuri anime and I haven't watched any yaoi. I haven't seen any shounen ai o shoujo ai either. So I can't really say whether I like them o not.I don't really like when people ship two characters who have nothing between them, just because they are "hot" together. Although, the same goes for hetero pairings. I do kind of want to see más to broaden my horizons and be a better judge of the genres though.
since i'm on a cell phone and have answered this pregunta plenty of times, i'll try to be brief. as for yuri, i both amor it and am annoyed por it. it depends on my mood i guess o how i feel about the character. if i 'seek' it, i'll probably enjoy it. if i'm not o an not expecting it, it's likely to annoy me. i don't watch a whole lot, but i do sometimes consider it a special 'treat', perhaps to watch after a particularly stressful day. overall, i would call myself a yuri fan. as for yaoi, i understand if female fans would like it, and am relieved if they do if it makes me seem a little less like a pervert for enjoying an occasional bit of ecchi.

i feel the need to clarify that I'm using the modern industry meaning of Yuri and yaoi in this post, which is identical to Shoujo-Ai and Shounen-Ai.
