I’m 100% straight but, Ryan Gosling can big spoon me and I would be okay with that.
I used to say things like, “I’m straight but” whatever. This was about 30 years ago, and I just didn’t know what to do with the idea of gay men, so I would occasionally say things to virtue signal that I was okay with it.
But it turns out that I was just overcompensating and dealing with a bit of “main character” complex. I really didn’t need to say or do anything overt to be accepting of gay people.
Inversely, there’s “I’m bi, but…” To point out shit that can just be platonic that people keep trying to romanticize.
Like, why can’t I complement a friend on their good fashion sense without people assuming there’s some attraction there? It’s bullshit
You know, I think Depeche Mode is a really sweet band!
This movie gets horrible reviews, but I always found it hilarious.
I wish I could upvoye you more
I’ll also give them my upvote (I don’t get the reference or why I’m upvoting, but I’ll do it for you, @SleeplessCityLights@programming.dev!)
I’ll upvote for you
The beige background made me think it was AI at first glance.
it reminds me of cardboard
I told a female friend of mine that Lou Diamond Philips was a handsome guy, and she said I have the worst taste in men’s looks. That moment sometimes makes me question what an attractive guy is suppose to look like. Then I remember her boyfriend was a short, fat slob.
If she was thinking of him without facial hair, I’m with her. If she was thinking of him with facial hair and still not liking it, I’m with you. You’ll have to ask and clarify for us next time you see her. The internet (me) needs to know if your friend has bad taste or not.
I said in La Bamba. No facial hair. I guess she was right.
Lou Diamond Philips has always been hot. And he’s aging like wine: every time I see him, he looks even better.
You just men and female’d
What?
They referred to men as men and women as females.
No, they used female as an adjective when describing their friend. I agree it’s unpleasant when people talk about “females” but that’s not what happened here.
I actually think you’re right on this one ✅

The scale doesn’t translate nicely to common speech.
I like “non zero”
I dunno… You can be straight and still consider someone of the same sex attractive, just not so attractive that you’d want to sleep with them.
I’m ace and I find both Tom Ellis and Jenna Coleman attractive, but that doesn’t mean I want to sleep with them, or anyone really.
What does “ace” mean in this context?
Asexual, meaning they experience little to no sexual attraction.
So, if no one experiences sexual attraction to me, what does that make me? Anti-sexual? Axes, maybe?
No, FenrirIII, it just makes you ugly.
creating a new sexual orientation based on whether people are attracted to you as an individual is like a whole new level of narcissism 😅
why no, I’m not a FenrirIII-sexual, but my friend is (she’s a slut)
Agree 100%. I think the guy in the comic got his award prematurely. The rest of the sentence after “but” matters.
“I’m 100% straight, but… I’d totally suck Paul off if he asked.”
Stupid question time: Does the fact that you’re ace omit the gay/straight spectrum entirely, or would you still place yourself on it somewhere?
Not having sexual attraction to any people doesn’t preclude romantic attraction. I’m ace and panromantic. What OP described is aesthetic attraction
We used to call people who omitted the spectrum and were attracted to other people regardless pansexual.
Some aces have a position on the gay/straight spectrum.
Aesthetic attraction vs Sexual attraction.
You can find someone visually appealing without also finding them sexually appealing.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Sexual attractiveness also doesn’t mean sexual drive. One doesn’t need to be gay to understand that a man is sexually attractive in the way they find compelling. A desire to look good is all it takes.
Tom Ellis is the Lucifer actor, for anyone wondering.
I agree with Coleman though, though I am most probably not ace.
I’m 100% straight, but I don’t think being attracted to Tom Ellis should count.
(My use of “I’m 100% straight” here is meant solely as a humorous callback to the comic.
But yeah, Tom Ellis is charming as fuck with wide appeal.)
