No. Things do not become subjective because we cannot prove them. There is a right or wrong answer even if only one person knows what it is. A subjective truth would be if it were true for you that you did not like cilantro but true for me that you did. https://twitter.com/unigolyn/status/1000028601012584448 …

What do you call something in the middle? I think sexual attraction is likely partly both or to put it another way there is likely a majority consensus but a minority disagreement in most cases.

Fair. I was more speaking of the quality of an individual absent a specific observer.

"objectively different to others" -- isn't this essentially the definition of subjective? I mean the "status" of someone being attracted or unattracted is objective but the determination of that status is subjective, no?

Only in the sense that different things are true of different subjects. It is true of me that I am a woman but true of you that you are a man. This doesn't make our respective genders subjective. Both things are objectively true.

Hmm. I agree. I guess I'm searching for a definition where there might be use of the term. Eg it's objectively true that I bowl right handed but it's not objectively true that all people do (in fact verifiably false) could this be a useful area for that phrase?

It's not a useful term. Saying some things are objectively true & some are objectively false is useful. Saying different things are true of different subjects is useful. Saying different subjects may have different perceptions of the same thing is useful.'Subjective truth' is not
