How platonistic is your attitude towards mathematics?

A discussion in the n-category cafe about Manin's 'emotional Platonism' made me wonder how such a perception of mathematics is distributed among mathematicians and how that influences attitudes towards specific concepts and themes. How is it with you? Is 'Platonism' something you can connect with, something (ir)relevant, or even contrary your attitude towards math for you?
