I've started hanging out with a girl who's really into me and I really like her, but I'm programmed to feel like I'm leading a double life just because I think a ripped, shirtless dude looks good.

Now would you ever be with a dude? are you sexually attracted to them?
I think women are hot, sexy, alluring, beautiful, I have nude photos of women..But Im not gay, I appreciate their beauty, I not sexually attracted to them..I'm strictly dickly..I love men.
Im not leading a double life...are you?

Some men are just HOT... some women and just HOT... can't escape it. Only you know if the men turn you on or not.

Totally agree that noticing others' attractiveness doesn't equal being attracted to somebody...gender immaterial. I work with a lot of people I recognize as being attractive, both male and female. Haven't yet felt an overwhelming urge to kiss any of them.

Entire industries are built around selling crap by using physically attractive men and women to promote it...most women will flip through a fashion magazine and recognize that [fill in the blank with female model/actress' name] is damned attractive. Doesn't mean they fantasize about having sex with her, by virtue of acknowledging her beauty.

You need to think about whether or not you are actually sexually attracted to men, and realize that noticing physical attractiveness isn't necessarily the same thing. It's hard to tell from your OP what is going on, but noticing somebody's good looks doesn't make you gay or bi. It makes you observant.

I don't think you're morally obligated to tell her.

The idea that as a human, you're genetically forced somehow to either be attracted to males or females is dark ages.

What about all the guys that "Did what I had to do.." in prison or trapped on a boat for 6 months with guys? What most humans are genetically predisposed to be at some point in their life is, is to be simply......HORNY!

But I understand, when my daughter informed me that I was a grandfather I was like...but you're a lesbian? And she replied, "Dad I need some p___ every once in a while"

Maybe not morally obligated, but hiding such important part of yourself would be difficult

So I should tell her the male fantasies, but hide the fantasies I have about women then?

I would tell her. Probably not right away but if you like her she needs to know the real you. If she has a problem with it doesn't she have a problem with part of who you are?

Not everyone feels that way. She just might surprise you!
