Even though most townies and NPCs start with a neutral gender preference, they may still autonomously show attraction to Sims of the opposite gender, but the chances are lower than for Sims who have a preference for that gender.

In both ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', actions which change gender preference increase a Sim's preference for one gender by 2 and decrease that Sim's preference for the other by 1.<ref>This can be directly observed in ''The Sims 2''. [http://nraas.wikispaces.com/MasterController+FAQ#GenderPreference FAQ for NRaas Master Controller] for ''The Sims 3''.</ref> This means that it is easier to move a negative preference toward zero than to move a positive one in that direction. So, a Sim can develop a positive preference for both genders, but this will not normally happen without deliberate, and probably repeated, action by the player. Also, a few [[Circe Beaker|pre-made]] [[Titania Summerdream|Sims]] in ''The Sims 2'' have pre-set positive preferences for both genders. It is not normally possible for a Sim to develop a negative preference for both genders, though it can happen with Sims who have a pre-set negative preference for one gender.

In general, the size of a Sim's preference for (or against) a gender affects how stable that preference is, rather than how strong it is. For example, a Sim with a -10/20 male/female preference isn't more attracted to females than one with a -1/2 preference. However, the first Sim's preferences will not be significantly affected if a male flirts with them once or twice, while the second Sim's will be.
