I don’t think it’s something “objective” - it doesn’t happen with all attractive people or even most of them. And I don’t think others find them as attractive either. But sometimes, some very few times, I see someone either irl or online and I literally can’t stop staring at them. I think about them for hours afterwards. It’s only happened a handful of times but by god it is so freaking weird.

If there is an “objective” rating system, even if it’s subjective to the observer, then these people are not 8 or 9 or 10. They are outside the freaking scale. And I don’t mean they’re 11/10 or something. No, the scale just doesn’t even apply to them.

Like, am I weird? Does this only happen to me? Should I get my brain checked? It this what people mean when they say “type”?

    Isn't that always part of women loving women, tho? Admiring them without objectifying them the way men would do? Seeing the whole person in all of their glory, getting that "do i want her or do i want to be her?"dynamic, having that deep, deep longing for connection? Instead of zooming in on body parts like dudes are taught to do from the first time a movie shows them how to sexualize a female body, explaining to them how to remove or at least ignore the threat to their autonomy that is caused by their overwhelming hormonal urge to fuck us that can give us so much power over them?
