I'll explain it like this: I think Thor is a very attractive guy, and I can see why girls like him. But I am not physically attracted to him. Like I don't want to make out with him or anything like that. Just admire him for his handsomeness.funguy2121 said:I don't know that it's a double standard. Lesbian action (well, to me, real "lesbian action" between two attractive women) IS hot, whereas gay action is "icky." But that's just because I'm one of those people who thinks that all men, myself included, are icky. Actually treating someone as if they are strange for one and not for the other is a double standard.BabyRaptor said:It's society's double standard at work again. Lesbian action is hot, gay action is icky.LobsterFeng said:So this got me thinking, why can a girl comment on how beautiful she thinks another girl is, but when a guy comments on how handsome he thinks another guy is it's suddenly gay?
Most straight men don't comment on how attractive they think another guy is. This is for two primary reasons, beyond the homophobia that is characteristic of some of us.LobsterFeng said:Chris Hemsworth is a very, very, handsome man...one of my female friends was talking about how hot he was. And I agreed.
1. We don't care
2. We aren't attracted to men at all, so the thought isn't there in the first place.
I think you define man-crush differently from how most of us do. Man-crush is usually meant to indicate that a guy has admiration for another man that either borders on obsessive or makes for an easy opportunity for the insipid to be homophobic. It's yet another chance to homo-eroticize everything. Look, it's Sam and Frodo walking up the path to Mount Doom. That's homoerotic. Here's two wrestlers in spandex pile driving each other - that's homoerotic. Look, two gay guys sucking each other off - that's homoerotic. I'm sick of it!
Where was I? Anyway, I'm sure you're as adverse to labels as a lot of people are, but if you're actually attracted to men and find yourself saying things like the bolded statements above, you may want to look into the possibility that you are gay or bi.
Ugh, would people please stop with this? Not everybody is on that scale. Please only speak for yourself.DanielDeFig said:Here's the thing: Sexuality is not a Black & White issue, where we simply have either gay or straight people from either gender. We are all bisexual to some extent, it just depends how far along on one side of the scale you are
I'm not sure I understand. In the OP you're practically gushing over him, and you said you agreed with your friend that he's "hot." I can acknowledge that Matt Damon's a good looking guy, but I'd never refer to him as "hot." Maybe if you meant it the way that Will Farrell did in Zoolander ("He's so hot right now!"), I would get it. Or maybe it's just a vernacular issue.LobsterFeng said:I'll explain it like this: I think Thor is a very attractive guy, and I can see why girls like him. But I am not physically attracted to him.
