NC for this, as I feel a little embarrassed for asking and just want to know if it's my paranoia and therefore if IABU?! Confused

Yes

Discussing the new Zendaya movie other day, and my (6mnth in) DP fancies her (as do ai tbf ha ha!) but, he said there's no way someone like her would look at him as she'd be out of his league ... to which I replied, well what does that mean for me, am I not?! Confused

Are you half kidding or genuinely offended that he can't tell the difference between you and Zendaya? I mean...before this did you think you might be long lost identical twins?

SBrd8436 · 28/04/2024 17:20

He was like, 'well it's Zendaya isn't it...?!' Confused So I became para and thinking does he not see me as v attractive in this case, and therefore IN his league? HmmSad Am I just being an insecure knob?!

I wouldn’t be at all offended. I’m no ugly duckling but I’m no Zendeya either!!

Well do you see him as less attractive than you?

Ha ha Grin I know I'm NO Zendaya (Jesus, I'd fuck myself if I was!) I'd basically asked him what he'd do if a Zendaya-lookalike came onto him when he goes to the races in a cpl weeks ...

Well, are you in Zendaya’s league? Do you consider him to be in a lower “league” than you and think he should be grateful you’ve stooped to his level?

If either of these apply, then I suppose you could be offended, but otherwise you’re being really silly.

SBrd8436 · 28/04/2024 17:22

@Newname71 no chance! If anything, I worry he's too good looking for me Blush

Do you think this hypothetical Zendaya lookalike (at the bloody races of all places) would be interested in him?

sweetpickle2 · 28/04/2024 17:23

You're being silly OP.

Serengetti56 · 28/04/2024 17:25

Yes you’re being silly.

You're being silly OP.

Thank you as this is genuinely what I wanted to hear Smile I just didn't know if it was his way of saying like, a Zendaya look a like wouldn't look twice at him but I did because I'm not as attractive Sad

My husband's telly crush is Sandra bullock. I told him if he ever had a shot then to go for it.

It's a stupid question to ask if you're insecure about such things. Stop it.

OhHelloMiss · 28/04/2024 17:28

I've just looked up this zendaya person

Very average looking ... I don't get your issue but yes, you seem very insecure!

IglesiasPiggl · 28/04/2024 17:29

It's not just her looks, he probably means her celebrity status as well. Zendaya is one of the most photographed women in the world and makes a living out of looking gorgeous. She's a wealthy Hollywood celebrity he will never meet so I really wouldn't worry about it.

MyRobotFriend · 28/04/2024 17:30

Daft thread.

mondaytosunday · 28/04/2024 17:34

Come on. This guy can't win can he? He's not saying you are unattractive, but this woman is young and very beautiful. Why make it about you?

Covetthee · 28/04/2024 17:37

You’re just being silly, I think.

My husband is very attractive (imo), but he’s also no Henry Cavill, I know that he will never give me the time of day either 🤣
