Hmmm

So I'm not gay but I can appreciate women who are attractive and intelligent. One particular actress encompasses all this and I commented this. Now DH thinks I about to fulfil his fantasy of a threesome!
Who else can appreciate other women but not in a sexual way?
Am I even making sense?! Now I can't watch this tv show without some smart arse remarks!

Hmmm indeed.

Thedogscollar · 01/05/2021 22:43

Your husband sounds very immature OP. Of course we can admire another woman for her looks and brain. It doesn't mean we want to jump into bed with themHmm

Not much to add, other than he’s just joking or clearly a sleaze. Out of interest, is it Vicky McLure?

I find it odd if you can not apricate some one of the same sex , everyone has a different idea of what / who is good looking the sex doesn't really come into it , particularly if you find them appealing because they are clever / funny .
Pre covid me and my DB often went out for meals / beers together and we would often point out ( very subtly someone that we thought he other would fancy ( so DB would point out men to me and I would point out women to him ) we both knew what we looked for in our fantisy dates .

American actress

I just think it's okay to find same sex attractive but don't want to jump into bed with them.

You are right he is a pillock

Tell him fine as long as he's happy to have a threesome whenever he mentions a bloke he admires.

According to theory I'm 'superstraight'. I still think Rose Matafeo is fab. I don't want to sleep with her or any other woman though.

MiddlesexGirl · 01/05/2021 23:04

There are a few women who if I were at all attracted to women I could see myself fancying. No way would I want a threesome with them though?

gurglebelly · 01/05/2021 23:08

I'm not gay in the slightest, but still have a couple of total girl crushes - your husband sounds a bit knobby though

ghound · 01/05/2021 23:10

@gurglebelly that's the phrase I was trying to think off! Girl crush exactly!! And my girl crush is unusual...

I agree you can. It's much the same way I can appreciate both men and women's looks without any sexual interest or stirrings. I'm asexual.

georgarina · 02/05/2021 06:18

Of course you can appreciate people whose gender you're not attracted to...for me it's just a different feeling. There's not that excitement that comes with it.

Surely it would be more strange not to be able to appreciate anything about a person unless you're attracted to them?

omgwhy · 02/05/2021 10:58

I've always appreciated women and found them attractive but never wanted to jump into bed with them.

I happened to mention this over many years to my DH, just causal "oh she's pretty etc" and it resulted in the peak of his sex pest years he asking to arrange a threesome.

So I did, with another man. We almost didn't make it through that stage of the relationship, he backed out rapidly and shut up about it all.

ghound · 02/05/2021 13:14

So does anyone care to share who they have a girl crush on if famous etc?

Why don't you start? Or post this in the Sex topic if you want to discuss threesomes?
ghound · 02/05/2021 13:41

@AdaThorne read the thread I don't want a threesome

Does he aye

Seriously79 · 02/05/2021 13:51

My girl crush is Gemma Atkinson (used to be holly oaks back in the day and has been in emmerdale).

I think she's so pretty, fantastic figure, and just a lovely girl. So natural and down to earth.

ghound · 02/05/2021 14:03

My girl crush is Kate Mulgrew from Star Trek Voyager.
Even at the age of 66 she's still beautiful and so eloquent

QuizzlyBear · 02/05/2021 14:58

I adore Helen Mirren. I don't want to have sex with her, I think I just want to BE like her. Still kind of a crush...

Your husband sound dreadfully unfunny.
