I thought I’d watch for a few answers before weighing in.
It’s sad to me to see people equating attraction with objectification. It’s not. Objectification is all in how you approach the women you like, not in which women you find attractive. Any guy can treat any girl like a sexual object, it’s when you don’t take her preferences and wishes into account when you interact with her. You are literally acting as if she’s something you put on your arm to make yourself look good.
How do you approach women you are attracted to in a respectful manner? Well, you listen to them and accept their decisions and interact with them the way they want to be interacted with. I’d ignore all the racial bullshit and just treat them the same way I’d hope your momma taught you how to treat women.
