ok, I so wasnt going to address this, but eh...wth. forgive me, Im in a mood
did anyone ever think that maybe its the phrasing thats the problem?
now, the following examples do portay a somewhat less open minded set than frequent our shores here on LoT, but I think you'll get the point Im trying to make.
__________
woman "honey...do you think hes attractive?"
guy "WTF? I'M NOT ATTRACTED TO MEN!"
(any possibility on having this conversation is now gone)
-vs-
woman "honey....that guy looks really good, dont you think?"
guy "eh. I could look that good if I paid $5k for a suit, another $500 for a haircut and had a personal trainer"
the result:
a) he has now admitted the guy looked good....move on.
b) its not a fight or a challenge to his heteronessosssity,so hes not
c) he knows now he needs a haircut and a new suit (good luck with the trainer thing)
see my point? WE, the male-hetero collective, know full well when someone looks good, male or female.
the problem is the WORD "attractive"
IMHO YMMV
