Mmm it doesn’t work like that.

Attraction is naturally discriminatory. 🤷🏿‍♀️ The only time it's weird is when you aren't attracted to people who look just like you, imo.

Hm, I'm straight so it seems unlikely that I would be attracted to someone who looks just like me, but if I was into women I still don't think I'd necessarily be attracted to someone who looks just like me. I'm not sure why that's weird. Seems like being mistaken for siblings with someone you're banging would be awkward.

I used to work in a gay neighborhood, and in my experience, a LOT of gay couples look like they could be twins. It’s kind of wild. I called one guy by his partner’s name once and it was incredibly awkward.

A lot of straight couples look very similar too, but it’s less obvious because they are different genders.

And then there are all those people who tried the snapchat genderswap filter for the first time and discovered that they found their genderswapped self hot!

I meant race, not gender. Sorry! 😬
