Anybody or anything that’s attractive is visually pleasing or draws you in.

Being attractive has to do with attracting others, one way or another. If you’re talking about a magnet, that’s a literal, physical kind of attraction. For people, being attractive usually means you’re beautiful or handsome enough to pull in the attention of others. But having a great personality or a good job are attractive traits, too. If someone offered to give you something valuable for a good price, you could also say, «That’s an attractive offer» — meaning it’s tempting.
