Is it really that hard to avoid the subject of Cate Bkanchett's hotness when speaking with your father? Like, you can discuss various aspects of the movie without dwelling upon anyone's attractiveness, surely? Because if you're incapable of hiding your attraction to anyone, thats...not really normal.

DA

Also, do people normally assume sexual attraction if you said, "Wow, Cate Blanchett is pretty in this."? I mean, you can find something aesthetically pleasing without wanting to bone it/them.

Maybe sometimes people in the closet have distinct anxieties based on that fact

(Anonymous) 2017-10-19 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Fair enough. I suppose that anxiety can increase too if their family is openly homophobic too.

DA
you can also replace "pretty" with "badass" or "awesome" or any other adjective that doesn't necessarily mean "I want to sex her".

nayrt

Right? You don't have to say, "Holy shit I'd love to much HER rug, Dad!" It can't be that hard to NOT say that.

OP

My dad would not get that nuance at all. And I guess people aren't right that maybe it won't be obvious unless I purposefully make it really obvious. But my dad is very observant. And I just worry about giving it away all the time.

FWIW, people are usually not fantastic at reading things like that. So you're probably OK. But it's still a shitty situation for you to be in. hugs if wanted.

I'm sorry, OP. That's a hard place to be in. :( I hope you and your dad someday reach a point where you can be open about this. Feel free to PM if you want to chat/vent. All the best.

For someone who is bi or lesbian and living in fear of being discovered... it certainly feels that way. Sometimes you feel like you're being too obvious or too enthusiastic. Especially if your parents are homophobic and suspect you. Even saying someone is attractive makes them question you.

That's why if I find a woman attractive always keep quiet about it or just stick to complimenting her outfits if the topic comes up. So I don't give too much away.
