Xenophily
Xenophily means having an affection for unknown objects or human beings. It is the opposite of xenophoby. It is more commonly referred to as xenophilia.The word is a synthesis from the Greek "xenos" (ξένος) (stranger, unknown, foreign) and "philos" (φίλος) (love, attraction). (Henry Liddell, Robert Scott, Henry Jones, and Roderick McKenzie. A Greek-English Lexicon. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1996. pp. 1189, 1939.)In common usage it can also mean being sexually attracted to a person distinctly different from oneself, such as in coloring, body type, accent, mannerisms, cultural identity or behavior, etc. To some xenophilia includes even relatively subtle distinctions, but more usually it refers to things of a much more extreme dissimilarity.
