When other human beings say you are attractive,
do you really _care_ what their personal, private sexual orientation is? (I don't.)

Just askin'. And sayin'.

homophobia. :thumbsup:

50. You know...
... I'm a male. If another male were to say something like that, it means nothing because I'm really not interested in getting into his pants.

If a female says it, that's a whole different deal.

I really have a hard time understanding how that would make me a homophobe, becuase, well really, I'm not :)

15. I never think about the motivation ...
Their sexual orientation isn't any of my business unless they're offering to buy me breakfast the next day ...

I just graciously accept the complement ... as it should be.

52. the first part of this question is so hypothetical
if anything, I would head for cover because I know it will be followed by a very loud "NOT" or some other sarcastic zinger. :hide:

53. Certainly not. In fact,
I don't even mind getting compliments from dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens and pigs.

Asexually reproducing vegetation is welcome to offer sincere admiration.

Cloud beings from planet Xerxon may speak kindly of the sensuous quality of my elbows and I will be flattered.

No compliment directed to me will be refused. I'm not proud. :hi:

I think when people take the trouble to lift you up by saying something nice it is a very good thing. A kind word at the right time makes the world a nicer place and we need all of that we can get! By the way Heidi, You are looking exceptionally well today, What's your secret? (redwitch said in all sincerity, with her eyes on the beckoning box of mood rings).
