i fancy males, but.....

Well, i'm a girl and have always fancied males, have only ever dated males etc. The thing is, more often than not it is the women in magazines that i think of as being attractive, i guess because it is easier for a woman to look beautiful/attractive(make-up, general preening/up-keep of appearance).

It's not necessarily that i am attracted to the women, because i dont think thats the case, but i just seem to be much pickier with what makes a man attractive. does anyone get what i mean? i think when i'm looking at these women its often just comparing myself to them....e.g. wow shes got such a good figure, or really nice hair, and im envying that as apposed to anything else.

Does anyone else also feel this way or am i just on my own here!?

I'm also quite picky to what makes a man attractive.

So you keep reminding me after-hours, my dear.

Don't worry about it - girls admire girls! You know that yourself as you've written it in your post, so don't blow things out of proportion and think you are lesbian/bi!

I think a lot of girls compare themselves to other girls and comment on how nice their prettiness, hair, figure, etc.

Although, I'm not too sure what you mean about being picky with what makes a man attractive, surely if you see a guy you would instinctively know if, to you, he is or is not attractive.

Are you trying to say that you find it easier to see what's good-looking about a woman, but when you're with a guy you barely even notice it?

I get the same thing if so...guess I'm trying to compare myself to a woman whereas with a guy I'm just either...attracted to him or not.

Regardless there is no mysterious hidden meaning to it or anything. You think women can be good looking, but you don't want a relationship with one. No contradiction there at all. Of course, if you one day end up having a crush on a woman then there's nothing wrong with that either. Don't worry too much about it. Take things as they come. Well that's my advice at least.

All the women who I've talked with about this in the past have had the same stance and I (and it seems, yourself) do; it's easier for a woman to be pretty and beautiful. A guy can be handsome, sure, but beautiful? Don't think so. Eyes, hair, cheeks, skin, nose. Admiring what comes together in a beautiful subject is natural; don't fret none ^_^

Best,

I know exactly what you mean; I think to some extent most women register whether another woman is attractive or whether there's some aspect of her appearance that you like, it doesnt mean you're bi or homosexual at all. I look at magazines and comment on the women, all my friends do, several of us have boyfriends and the others are straight...
dont worry about it :smile:

its the over-analysis that'll get you in the end :p:

What you deem 'attractive' in males is coloured by exact and specific personal criteria, as opposed to a generic, garden-variety conception of aesthetic beauty which will be what governs your aspiration in terms of self-image: because you are of course marketing yourself prima facie to the male demographic, as opposed to any particular 'man'. Indeed, it is precisely because you are not attracted to women in their capacity as potential or prospective partners (sexual, and otherwise) that you feel this way.

do you mean that you look at pictures of the models and admire them as you would pictures of a guy? and then compare them to yourself. i do it all the time and no it doesnt make you odd or bi or anything of the sort.

You dont need to be bi/gay to appreciate whether someone of the same sex is attractive or not (i think thats what OPs post was about, right?) Its just what homophobes and people who are insecure about their sexuality say.

Im straight (male), ive never been attracted to a guy but when I see pictures of men in magazines or what ever Im not affraid to say 'he's handsome, which i looked like him etc.'

And Carl Barrat (of the libs): dont even get me started, that mans a God! (haha guess hes quite feminine though) (straight, honest :biggrin:

)

i fancy males, but.....
