for being stopped in my tracks by beautiful women even though I’m hetero?

I think it's normal, just like you can be in awe of a beautiful painting, hairstyle, home decor etc. It doesn't have to be sexual just because it's a person.

@BunnyLake that’s what I’m trying to get the op to consider… either one is normal and natural.

Yep same....for me it's part envy and wishing I could look like them.

My admiration of a beautiful woman is that I’d like to look like them and nothing to do with ‘fancying’ them, obviously each person is different but for me it’s more looks envy.

Is it a sexual curiosity or more you want to look like them? Both natural feelings nothing wrong with exploring your sexuality. I know for me no they don’t do anything other I can see they are very pretty.

no right or wrong answer, hope you get to understand yourself a bit more 🩷

@Opine how is saying the hair is weird nasty? The hair style is weird with the big flick thing- clearly that was a decision by the stylist. Her hair itself is fine and her face is very beautiful, as I said. The hair style is criticism of the stylist not the model and it's not to my taste- which is subjective. I'm sure some people would like it.

Nothing wrong with being lesbian but it’s not fact that if a woman is admiring another woman’s beauty then they must be lesbian or bi as some posters seem to think.

How can you call her ugly? That’s ridiculous and not at all true.

She’s stunning! But wouldn’t stop me in my tracks…. I can appreciate her but does nothing for me.. are you sure you’re competely hetro? May be worth exploring

Being lesbian is normal, you know. It's not like having 2 heads.

Why did you use this lady’s picture? It’s not even a recent photo.

What's wrong with you? That's a very real and very pretty young woman you've just called ugly. How insecure are you that you feel the need to be a bitch about someone else's appearance?

Yes this particular photo is heavily photoshopped for the stylist's Instagram (by the stylist) and not to everyone's taste stylistically, but if you take three seconds to look at the model's Instagram she's a real person and very pretty. Not ugly at all.

My husband laughed at me today because I got my head turned by a woman, but honestly she was so, so beautiful and striking, dressed absolutely flawlessly and just carried herself with a kind of admirable "fuck you" energy. I was completely straight yesterday, today I'm not so sure 😆

But honestly I think it's fine. You can appreciate beauty in all it's forms without wanting to shag it or marry it.

There’s something about Priscilla

@WetBandits i agree. She doesn’t look much different to this on her feed. She definitely isn’t AI. The hair isn’t weird either. Just nastiness for the sake of it.

OP I am a million perfect straight but I am more often struck by women’s beauty than men’s. Perhaps she has features that you’d like for yourself? I wouldn’t know what the psychology of it is but I’m sure you’d know if your attraction to her was sexual.

She's gorgeous whoever she is. And her confidence shines through.

I'm as straight as they come. I do, however, work in an industry full of absolutely beautiful men and women. I appreciate beauty, confidence, and a positive attitude. Together and dressed well it's hard not to notice.

Just because I think or notice a stunning doesn't mean I want to shag her. It's just simple admiration and appreciation.

I have stopped stemages in public and complimented them on the odd occasion. It's nice to be noticed, and if they made an impression I share that with them.

Hear hear @WetBandits

How depressing that instead of answering the question you asked, some posters are falling over themselves to say how ugly they think the woman is, or that she must be photoshopped/AI. The photo has been tweaked as it’s a professional shoot, but if you have a look at the model’s Instagram, she is indeed very pretty!

I think it's fascinating what different people identify as extremely beautiful or attractive!

But no, of course just recognising/admiring beauty in any form doesn't have to have any link to your sexuality. I've been 'stopped in my tracks' (by which I mean distracted from what I was doing/turning round to admire/go back to look at/think about afterwards) by a gorgeous view, beautiful sunset, cute puppy, amazing pair of shoes....doesn't mean I'm sexually attracted to any of the above!

What's going on today, another pathetic thread with a photo.
I hope this one gets deleted too.

Bit rude to call her ugly. Idk if the image is AI or not but there’s surely women who look like that you’re basically insulting too

@Foamyclouds I think the woman in the photo is beautiful too but in a quite a common /commerical way - as in many people look like her - not a bad thing btw. Just an observation.

ETA: just looked at her instagram and yes she is stunning. Looks a bit younger in her videos than she does in this particular image.

That's very ugly. Ai. Not real. Is this a joke?

The woman in the photo (if real) is beautiful but has an odd hair do and weird expression.
