Maybe we could just open up the field? Like you’re with Dulce but will suck Brian when you’re in the dog house. Or maybe Brian and you can play with Dulce and Jessica?
No judgment from my part.
Seems like some of u have hard time differentiating
- that person is good looking (regardless of gender)
- I want to be friends with that person
- I want to sleep with that person
I used to say things like, “I’m straight but” whatever. This was about 30 years ago, and I just didn’t know what to do with the idea of gay men, so I would occasionally say things to virtue signal that I was okay with it.
But it turns out that I was just overcompensating and dealing with a bit of “main character” complex. I really didn’t need to say or do anything overt to be accepting of gay people.
Inversely, there’s “I’m bi, but…” To point out shit that can just be platonic that people keep trying to romanticize.
Like, why can’t I complement a friend on their good fashion sense without people assuming there’s some attraction there? It’s bullshit
I’m 100% straight but, Ryan Gosling can big spoon me and I would be okay with that.
Im 100% straight. On land.
You know, I think Depeche Mode is a really sweet band!
This movie gets horrible reviews, but I always found it hilarious.
That is why it is a “cult classic”
I wish I could upvoye you more
I’ll also give them my upvote (I don’t get the reference or why I’m upvoting, but I’ll do it for you, @SleeplessCityLights@programming.dev!)
I’ll upvote for you
I told a female friend of mine that Lou Diamond Philips was a handsome guy, and she said I have the worst taste in men’s looks. That moment sometimes makes me question what an attractive guy is suppose to look like. Then I remember her boyfriend was a short, fat slob.
If she was thinking of him without facial hair, I’m with her. If she was thinking of him with facial hair and still not liking it, I’m with you. You’ll have to ask and clarify for us next time you see her. The internet (me) needs to know if your friend has bad taste or not.
I said in La Bamba. No facial hair. I guess she was right.
Hrmm. See, that’s different too. I can’t say I disagree with her though. He’s, at best, only okay in that movie. They tried to do him up like a popstar, but it doesn’t quite really work. Older Lou Diamond Phillips is way hotter.
You just men and female’d
What?
They referred to men as men and women as females.
No, they used female as an adjective when describing their friend. I agree it’s unpleasant when people talk about “females” but that’s not what happened here.
A lot of trouble comes from people’s declining reading comprehension.
I actually think you’re right on this one ✅
Lou Diamond Philips has always been hot. And he’s aging like wine: every time I see him, he looks even better.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale
The scale doesn’t translate nicely to common speech.
I like “non zero”
Scale seems like an oversimplification too, idk what’s the difference between a three and a four?
a person that’s hetreonormative going for some gay relationships depending on the person or situation, with people that are presenting broadly more close to the way a person opposite their gender is, contrasting to a person that feels they are part of the LGBT+ community that also cultivates straight relationships if the person they are going for a relationship with if they are presenting broadly more close to their own gender.
No preference vs preference. Then 5/1 is strong preference. 1 is where a lot of the “I’m straight but” turn out to be.
And yeah it’s a simplification, but Kinsey was a pioneer of sexology that tried to nonjudgementally figure out the actual lived experiences of people’s sexual orientation, and with that is going to come oversimplification
I dunno… You can be straight and still consider someone of the same sex attractive, just not so attractive that you’d want to sleep with them.
I’m ace and I find both Tom Ellis and Jenna Coleman attractive, but that doesn’t mean I want to sleep with them, or anyone really.
I mean. women don’t necessarily have to be more attrative than another to go sleep with them.
Well yeah but specifically sexual attraction – generic attraction can be anything that makes you want to spend time with a person but we’re talking about sexual attraction here
What does “ace” mean in this context?
Asexual, meaning they experience little to no sexual attraction.
So, if no one experiences sexual attraction to me, what does that make me? Anti-sexual? Axes, maybe?
No, FenrirIII, it just makes you ugly.
creating a new sexual orientation based on whether people are attracted to you as an individual is like a whole new level of narcissism 😅
why no, I’m not a FenrirIII-sexual, but my friend is (she’s a slut)
Agree 100%. I think the guy in the comic got his award prematurely. The rest of the sentence after “but” matters.
“I’m 100% straight, but… I’d totally suck Paul off if he asked.”
Stupid question time: Does the fact that you’re ace omit the gay/straight spectrum entirely, or would you still place yourself on it somewhere?
Not having sexual attraction to any people doesn’t preclude romantic attraction. I’m ace and panromantic. What OP described is aesthetic attraction
We used to call people who omitted the spectrum and were attracted to other people regardless pansexual.
Some aces have a position on the gay/straight spectrum.
Aesthetic attraction vs Sexual attraction.
You can find someone visually appealing without also finding them sexually appealing.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Sexual attractiveness also doesn’t mean sexual drive. One doesn’t need to be gay to understand that a man is sexually attractive in the way they find compelling. A desire to look good is all it takes.
Tom Ellis is the Lucifer actor, for anyone wondering.
I agree with Coleman though, though I am most probably not ace.
I’m 100% straight, but I don’t think being attracted to Tom Ellis should count.
(My use of “I’m 100% straight” here is meant solely as a humorous callback to the comic.
But yeah, Tom Ellis is charming as fuck with wide appeal.)
The beige background made me think it was AI at first glance.
Same, but there’s too many details and too much character for it to be AI
Yeah, it was immediately obvious it wasn’t when I looked at the full sized comic rather than the thumbnail.
it reminds me of cardboard
