I'm married to a beautiful woman that I love but...

...I'm not like, one hundred percent straight.

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

If you’re secure in your heterosexuality, you can be a bit gay sometimes 😎

[-] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

Thatś not a fair argument, you're playing with loaded dice!

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 4 points 11 hours ago

Saying “I’m 100% straight but” sounds more like you’re afraid of what others might think about you as a person based on wether or not they approve of your sexuality.

In which case my condolences, and grow some spine.

It can be used as a qualifier. "I'm straight but nice cock" is meant to convey a stronger appreciation of the cock.

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 8 points 13 hours ago

I think guys should be able to compliment and appreciate each other without assuming they’re closeted.

[-] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago

I'm straight, but I appreciate a good looking dude.

In college we had a very nice looking dude that was part of the guy group. He single handedly increased the group's good looks and we were able to talk to more girls at parties.

I'm straight, but...

He did the thing!

In my mind, I acknowledge that i only ever wanted to have sex with women. But i would be an idiot to make being straight part of my identity because if I would ever meet a man that I could and would love, I would just have made it more difficult for me to accept that and there is zero gain in identifying as straight. I don't think we need to identify our sexuality, we just need to be willing to accept ourselves and go with the flow.

Saying "I am 100% straight!" Seems to be a good way to have an identity crisis when you find someone attractive that doesn't make you feel straight enough to accept it.

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

Pretty sure 4.20 bucks is less than 20 bucks

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

inflation happened between the beginning of the sentence and the end

[-] RedFrank24@piefed.social 77 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago

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?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

Some aces have a position on the gay/straight spectrum.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 25 points 1 day ago

Aesthetic attraction vs Sexual attraction.

You can find someone visually appealing without also finding them sexually appealing.

[-] Slotos@feddit.nl 7 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 8 points 1 day ago

Not having sexual attraction to any people doesn't preclude romantic attraction. I'm ace and panromantic. What OP described is aesthetic attraction

Agree 100%. I think the guy in the comic got his award prematurely. The rest of the sentence after "but" matters.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 1 day ago

"I'm 100% straight, but... I'd totally suck Paul off if he asked."

[-] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

What does "ace" mean in this context?

[-] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago

Asexual, meaning they experience little to no sexual attraction.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

So, if no one experiences sexual attraction to me, what does that make me? Anti-sexual? Axes, maybe?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 2 points 13 hours ago

Unlucky. But the good news is that you can change your luck (to a certain extent).

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

No, FenrirIII, it just makes you ugly.

[-] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago

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)

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Tom Ellis is the Lucifer actor, for anyone wondering.

I agree with Coleman though, though I am most probably not ace.

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.

[-] DaGeek247@fedia.io 11 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] frog@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

I said in La Bamba. No facial hair. I guess she was right.

Lou Diamond Philips has always been hot. And he's aging like wine: every time I see him, he looks even better.

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.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago

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've only ever felt the need to say "I'm not gay" in situations where I thought I might be subject to negative consequences (like violence or getting fired) for being gay, or in situations where I was interested in women and didn't want to be mistaken for being gay. It's a combination of cowardice and loserdom.

[-] maplesaga@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm 100% straight but, Ryan Gosling can big spoon me and I would be okay with that.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

Im 100% straight. On land.

[-] maplesaga@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I don't get the reference, but it seems very wise.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

its kinda a nod to a simpsons episode where the peg legged captian says he doesn't do that and follows up. on land.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago

You know, I think Depeche Mode is a really sweet band!

[-] melfie@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

This movie gets horrible reviews, but I always found it hilarious.

That is why it is a "cult classic"

The scale doesn't translate nicely to common speech.

I like "non zero"
