Eva doesn't discriminate between men and women when establishing friendships.  Instead the quality of a character means more to her and how aligned that is with her own more conservative and traditional upbringing.  She values things like kindness, compassion, dedication, and loyalty.  Flipside of same coin, she is put off by qualities such as arrogance, infidelity (or what she perceives to be infidelity), dishonesty, and such. She tries to maintain an open mind with regard to situations such as open relationships and tribal cultures, but it goes against the grain of how she grew up so it's a source of confusion and discomfort for her, in spite of her best efforts.
As a heterosexual woman she is aware of her attraction to men and does have a particular 'type' she is more drawn to than others, though this hasn't prevented a certain amount of deviation in the past for various reasons (the heart wants what it wants, etc.) Â At most she might exhibit a bit more bashfulness than usual around a man that she considers particularly striking. Â Among women she is, in a way, passively trying to fill a void left when her "bestie" passed away awhile back. Â She has encountered some difficulty in this, as there have been so few characters who have breached that comfort level with her to be bluntly honest and direct in that well-intentioned way best friends often can be with each other. Â She is generally not physically attracted to women, but it bears mention that there was one who at one point made her question this to a certain degree. Â On the whole though, Eva evaluates people on the content of their character more than anything else.
We don't really have alts we play regularly, but our other character Ben (who only gets a very limited amount of RP face-time unfortunately) is much more pragmatic and also doesn't discriminate between the genders. Â To him, people - male or female alike - are generally seen as assets of varying levels of usefulness independent of their gender. Â That's not to say that gender might come into play when leveraging a particular situation (for example befriending a beautiful woman with the intent of utilizing her to manipulate someone else).
