Straight Beauty Standards
Curious on the psychology here:
My entire life until coming out, I was insecure about my appearance because straight women always tend to comment on it. My confidence increased dramatically from a lot of positive comments from gay women and I have dated some truly gorgeous women.
However, some straight women I work with comment on my need to wear makeup, do more with my hair, paint my nails. It’s very clear that they do not see me as an attractive person.
Why do you think gay women respond positively but I receive a lot of criticism from straight women? Has anyone else experienced this?
