    They`re so annoying -_- especially when they keep useing it and you waste pp trying to land an attack
     
    I hate attract, especially when a pokemon I hate uses it.
     
    I actually dislike attract because it doesn't always disable the target. I can't tell you haw many times my poor Skitty has been OHKO'd because Attract did nothing.
     
    Fake Out is an amazing move. When you're the one who's using it haha.

    Attract is overshadowed by Cute Charm, imo. But once in a very blue moon it's kinda decent to use if you don't have anything else to cripple your opponent. I only really use it if it's learned via level up or something.    ​
     
    i used to want to kill everyone who uses attract against me. BUT now, with my Red Flute that never happens! It's a great product that has changed my life, and it could change yours!
     
    Fake Out can actually be very handy for defeating Sturdy opponents easily in 5th Generation cos under normal conditions if you tried to one-hit KO it, it will survive with 1 HP. I even found a use for it in some Triple Battles so I can easily defeat the opponent that would threaten my team the most.
     
    Any moves like Attract (or other status inflicting moves), Fake Out, etc. get the double standard from me- I love using them but hate when they're used against me. I'd much rather have my Pokemon be infatuated than confused though, since at least they just won't attack half the time rather than attacking themselves.
     
    I use Fake Out against Sturdy users, too. It's so handy. I still wish I could just OHKO them without something silly like Double Kick. I haven't got a lot of abuse from Attract, so I am pretty neutral on the matter.
     
    If you think that Attract is annoying in the games, In the first mystery dungeon games, It is a absolute game breaker. It allows you to stop any Pokémon (as there is no genders in the game) for several turns and makes the game a absolute breeze.

    Fake Out is just a stupid move though, although is handy if you want to stall for a turn.
     
    Attract certainly is annoying as you only get a coin toss - a 50% chance of either staring at the opponent drooling with love or normally attacking. It's even more annoying when the drooling-with-love chance happens a lot more frequently than the chances of normally attacking. This is also another factor that makes Whitney so annoying if you hit her Pokemon with physical attacks. Gahh.

    Fake Out, on the other hand, is..okay. It only comes in useful when your Pokemon has a high speed stat and can butt in for another turn after it uses Fake Out to do extra damage. That and easily defeating a Sturdy opponent. Other than that, it's quite useless.
     
    Attract is quite easy to deal with, merely inconvenient. Genderless monsters are great; one of the reasons I like Porygon so much.

    Fake Out is... whatever, really. Rarely does any real damage and is outright laughable since every member of my Black 2 team can self-heal. It's those Quick Attacks used to finish monsters off, that get me.

    Attract is annoying, but yes, we can just switch out to a same-gender or genderless Pokémon.
    Fake Out is erm, not so annoying. The damage isn't too much.
     
    I don't really like Fake-Out obviously because of it's priority in battle. Attract is not a problem really, but it's very useful for me, because I love using Attract with Toxic and Confuse Ray.
     
    Fake Out is mainly here to net free damage on the first turn. The fact that it only works the first turn balances out the fact that it guarantees a flinch.

    Attract isn't much of a problem if your Pokémon is the same gender as the opponent.
     
    Infatuation can be irritating and always seems to work in the favour of the foe, meaning I can never land a hit. That is primarily the problem with Whitney and her Miltank, Fake Out on the other hand I quite like, it can be useful and I like how it always hits first with an ensured flinch.
     
    Like others have said, Fake Out really comes in handy against opponents Sturdy foes. Not so much against opponents with Inner Focus though. I still like it and have used it before, probably will again if I get the chance. About infatuation, I dislike it just as much as paralysis, freeze, or sleep.
     
    Fake Out is a good Sturdy breaker and holy crap do I hate Sturdy. I'd rather waste a Fake Out on it first instead of hitting it with something that would otherwise one hit it and having it survive thanks to Sturdy. Being against Fake Out is a pain, but I'd rather just get that one turn out of the way instead of getting full para or constantly flinching or something like that.

    Attract...bleh. It's not really a bother for me since I rarely come across it, but it certainly takes me by surprise when it pops up. Never really occurred to me to use a genderless Pokemon or one of the same gender, to be honest.
