 1. For history and lore that would be the Elezens of Coerthas (Ishgardians). For visual only, there is one single face on Keeper males that I love to look at.
 2. I'm the worst person to ask this, I think it's rather silly and overdone unless the races are close genetically, so seeker-keeper or highlander-midlanders. I am sorry I dislike special snowflake and stretching or canon lore and fanfic. The day I see cross-racial being  a common occurence in FF14, not possible vague dev talk but actual npc's in-game at many places I will gladly revise my views.
 3. Unfortunately yes for the sake of a realistic RP experience. If I play a Miqo'te I cannot see how such a genetically different race would be attracted to lets say a roegadyn or a lalafell. Since I prefer to play with RPers seeking the same canon lore realistic experience I am trying to get from ff14, it's usually not a problem.

 1. All my characters would seek within their own race and category first maybe open up within the same race
 2. They would not understand and pass it as a joke to make people react.
This is rather interesting.
I mean, I'd like to say I'd get on board with the whole 'genetic differences make a huge, irreparable impact on sexuality' but we as human break the taboos of what we should find physically attractive based on our social experiences, upbringing, and so on. The concept of love often overrides whether or not we can have babies with someone or whether or not we would normally find them attractive. It's part of having the capacity for empathy and ideals that, so far as we know, many animals don't.
While I generally like to avoid the whole 'Well they're all based off humans' excuse, it seems that culture would have more of an impact than genetics, given that Roegadyn, Elezen, Lalafell, and Miqo'te all have consciences and feelings like Hyur, who we kind of have to compare to ourselves more than any.
But, it's interesting to see a different opinion.
