For contect, I'm M42 and exclusively dating women.
On rare occasions, while I have been dating a woman, she has started to wax poetic about how hot/beautiful/sexy she thinks a celebrity is. A random example from long ago, just because I happen to remember it: One women said something to the effect of "Johnny Depp must be the hottest guy on the planet", and then she went on to say how she wished she had Johnny sitting on one side of her and another hot celebrity (Swedish soccer star Henrik Larsson, in case it matters) on the other.
What am I, as the man dating her, expected to say in a situation like that?
"Thank god you don't have those guys nearby then, so you have to settle for me!"
"I totally know the feeling! My ultimate dream is to motorboat Angelina Jolie!"
"IKR? I'm bi, let's call those guys and see if we can arrange a foursome!"
I genuinely don't get it. When I'm dating a woman, I generally try to get HER to feel attractive... I don't think I would obtain that effect by talking about how attractive OTHERS are...
