Straight woman & married but cannot put into eloquent terms all that makes Kate Moennig my girl crush. She's hot but more than the obvious her on screen confidence is a turn on. My hubby, who is a Ray Donovan fan thinks she has a unique sex appeal. Some of my girls have been over the moon about Kate from the L Word days too but I'm into whatever character Kate is in. As an actress she is underrated and it is a shame. Writers for Ray Donovan need to write more of a story for Lena (Kate) in season 2.

she played the role of Shane very masculine, so I think that on top of just being naturally beautiful is why straight women might be attracted to her especially in that role
Just a girl in the world

Same.
Son, you got a panty on your head.

i'm straight, and i find her very attractive. she's the only woman i would ever think of having sex with. she's too sexy to resist!

Not straight but yeah, she's amazing. I do know some straight women who are into her too, she's just widely appealing

"Love will find a way. Indifference will find an excuse."

Agree w/ another poster, this thread totally ROCKS! For the longest time I thought it was only me that felt this way.
I'm straight and I say that because I've never been attracted to any other woman, ever. However, there is definitely something about Kate that makes you wanna jump her Whether it's her incredibly soulful eyes or her bright-as-the-sun smile, or the way she looks with glasses, or something else entirely; something not even physical: the way she carries herself, her personality.
Personally, I think it's a symmetry thing; the fact that she looks SO much like Jackson Rathbone, who looks like Matthew Gray Gubler, who looks like Johnny Depp, all three of whom I'm completely attracted to because of the way their faces "match" mine, (i.e. high cheekbones).
But, that's an analysis on my own attraction, ymmv.
Jen: Why movies? What's the attraction?
Dawson: I reject reality.

surely being genuinely bi means an equal sexual attraction to both men and women?
Not necessarily. I've heard of girls who consider themselves bi but have always been more interested in girls, and sometimes it even changes (as in there are periods where they're more into guys and then more into girls). It doesn't have to be an equal thing; being bi might mean you like both but it doesn't mean you have to like them the exact same amount. Anyway, that said, I do agree with the people saying you can consider yourself straight and still have exceptions, like Kate. I honestly don't get what a lot of people's obsessions are with wanting to slap labels on people. Gay, bi, straight in the end, who cares?

I totally agree with you. It is not something you can calculate or make a definition of it. I've been with more guys than I've been with girls but I consider my self gay not bi.

sorry but that is bolloks. I am definitely straight in that my primary attraction would always be to guys and i can't imagine ever having an exclusive relationship with a woman. however i do find some women sexually attractive - kate and blake lively mainly(I know it is shocking but she has the most amazing breasts!) admitting that does not make me bi - surely being genuinely bi means an equal sexual attraction to both men and women? On the kinsey scale i am prob 80/20 and the 20 is theoretical rather than active.

THIS THREAD ROCKS
hahaha love you girls
But I think Victoria said it, you can claim you are straight all you want, the second you find your self attracted to another women/man, you are bi. There is nothing wrong with it. Human Nature is human nature.

She is a beautiful woman with a feminine smile and jet there is a nice, charming sensitive boy underneath and that's what attracts straight girls.

jane u are right, men are more afraid to be gay or bi, or anything similar, woman,they experiment..
but a big but, there are so much more gay guys than lesbians. girls somethime experimente, and then they become just straigt

I read an article once that said women are more likely to confess to feeling attraction for someone of the same sex signficantly more than men are. So I don't think it's necessarily bi or bi-curious as simply being comfortable with recognizing attractive qualities in a person, whether they're male or female. Guys, for whatever reason, can't seem to do that kind of thing - ie. see the appeal (sexual or otherwise) of someone - without conflating it with gayness. Women are a lot more easy going and non-judgmental when it comes to making observations about another woman, where as (straight) men most definitely aren't.
Me, I'm definitely gay, but Kate's beauty is farrrr from being the only reason I'm a fan!
"Nobody here is grateful! When your mother says 'come to the table',
that's what you do

u said you were attracted to her, that's what u said
being attracted means having sexual desaires towards that person
that is attraction
one thing is to be gay friendly, the other is to be attracted to a same sex
one thing that i did not like in post is "i'm straight, but i like shane/kate" lots of girls have a urge to say they are straight, but they like her
sooo
gettng personali am attracted to her. she is a woman. so i like girls
btw i'm married too

Look, I'm married. I LOVE The L Word, Queer as Folk, I could go on and on. I have alot of gay friends and family. I'm not bi. But I loved Shane's part the most on the L Word. I think Katherine is an amazing actress and she's beautiful. I think alot of women are beautiful, it doesn't mean we're gay or bi. Hell I think Rhiana looked Hot on the cover of GQ, so sue me
Just my opinion.
Sarcasm is the body's natural defense against stupid

I don't think straight woman could ever have attraction to women. some shade of bi maybe?!?

I think she appeals so much to women because she is so androgynouse and pulls it off in a very sexy way, I want to look like her so all the strsight women crush on me haha! She is very sexy!

Oh you are definitely not the only one! I am a straight female and I find her incredibly attractive, I would definitely say i have a bit of a thing for her. What that makes me I don't know and it doesn't bother me But she is the only woman that has ever had this effect on me. Ah.

Everything about Katie is sexy! Those eyes, that smile, that mischevious look she gets in her eyes.
Ugh, makes my heart melt!
Yummy.

HAHA, ya i kno.. thats so true,im the same way.. i would never sleep with a woman, unless it was her.. i do honestly think that i have a big crush on her, eventhough im straight..lol, i guess its understandable eh? .lol

I also can't put my finger on it, but EVERYTHING about her is so damn sexy!!! Like I always say I wouldn't sleep with another woman for a ZILLION dollars, but Kate can have me for free! lol
Straight-girl-crushing on Shane!

i think she has the most beautiful smile for a woman .. theres just something about her.lol, i just cant put my finger on it, something other than her smile is attracting me to her..lol

LOL you're definitely not the only one thinking like that:)

Us and every other girl, straight or gay.
I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect~
