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

And when I say ‘stopped in my tracks’, I mean online…don’t think it would be terribly acceptable to do it in real life.

For example, today I was looking at different hairstyles for different face shapes, and came upon this photo. Just wow 🤩

Am I alone in this or is this normal?

Sweetie, if your head is turned by a woman, you're not completely hetero.

johann12 · 04/08/2024 21:16

It's normal

tishtishboom · 04/08/2024 21:16

Also, this is photoshopped

Not sure that works... you can appreciate beauty and be completely infatuated by it, but have no sexual desire whatsoever. It doesn't mean she's bi/lesbian.

Otherwise, flowers better watch themselves!

It's completely normal for hetero-women to consider other women head-turningly beautiful without wanting to have sex with them.

Surprisedmystified · 04/08/2024 21:22

What is it today with all the new threads with photos?
At least this photo is female. Doesn't look like a human female though. Looks AI to me.
Certainly not beautiful.

I think she's a robot, but crack on

Roundandback · 04/08/2024 21:37

I read that as beautiful women we stopping you as you were going about your day

A fake photo of anyone wouldn’t stop me in my tracks.

Screamingabdabz · 04/08/2024 21:40

Objectively yes, she is stunningly beautiful.

wateringcanface · 04/08/2024 21:43

I'm more likely to stare at a beautiful woman over a man. I think objectively women are more pleasing to the eye, I'm also completely straight, the thought touching a woman sexually makes me feel icky, but I can still admire a beautiful woman.

SquatWeightaMinute · 04/08/2024 21:45

I notice beautiful women more than attractive men. I think women just ARE nicer to look at generally. I don’t think you are out of the realms of normal OP.

silverhamster · 04/08/2024 21:59

For many years people told me it was normal to find women more aesthetically attractive than men. They never explained this important distinction:

If you are stopped in your tracks by her beauty, that's normal.

If you are stopped in your tracks and imagining kissing and touching her, you're not straight.

johann12 · 04/08/2024 22:00

I saw a beautiful woman on a bus once. I couldn't stop looking at her, I still think about her years later she was just stunning. I'm totally straight

SeulementUneFois · 04/08/2024 22:01

I was definitely awe-struck at some of the athletes in the high jump earlier. (Looks, separate from their athletic prowess.) And I'm straight.
So no you're not alone.

Sarahzb · 04/08/2024 22:09

Mebbe you can be attracted to women?
It doesn't have to be weird
Or sometimes I look at a bloke and say, how beautiful are they? I'm gay
You can admire but...if you want. Try

I disagree. There are women who I think have very beautiful faces. But I'm not sexually attracted to them.

CwmYoy · 04/08/2024 22:18

It's totally normal to be stunned by beauty. Whether it's a person, a view, a building etc you can be stopped in your tracks.

Enjoy that you can experience this feeling.

Plmnki · 04/08/2024 22:19

Um, that’s not a woman. That’s AI or massively photoshopped. HTH.

It's funny because when I was on the bus this morning a very young woman got on.With a baby in a buggy. And the young woman was really lovely. A beautiful face, with amazing cheek bones.
And I was thinking here's this beautiful young woman sitting on a bus in quite a poor area of the town with her baby and yet there are women in the public eye , probably earning a ton of money, who she would totally overshadow as regards looks.
The best bit was though how attentive and caring she was towards her baby. Fussing over the child . That really made her beautiful in a way that is truly worthwhile.

baroqueandblue · 04/08/2024 22:33

If by beautiful you mean 'looks made out of plastic' then perhaps you have a point.

I mean, I can see an interesting canvas, but all the paintedness and sex-doll gloss ruins the canvas.

JMSA · 04/08/2024 22:35

I like cock, but am way more likely to notice an attractive woman than a guy.

Gladespade · 04/08/2024 22:41

Feeling completely ignorant here - can anyone help me out with how to spot when it’s AI? I wouldn’t have known.

That’s not true. I’ve been wowed by some women’s beauty but have zero interest in them on a romantic or sexual level.
