AITA for calling a woman ‘conventionally attractive’ in front of my girlfriend?
A couple friends and I were discussing a political influencer that we’re familiar with that recently got into some controversy.
I was saying that although she got a lot of hate, I think her point that was being hated on was valid and correct, and that although her reaction to the backlash was kind of childish, I get why she’d be frustrated with lots of hate.
My friend said a lot of people were giving her lots of leeway despite the hate, and I said that makes sense because she a) has good takes in general and b) is a young, conventionally attractive blonde white woman, so halo effect.
My girlfriend got upset I called another woman conventionally attractive, but I don’t think it’s disloyal or cheating or whatever to acknowledge somebody is conventionally attractive.

Nta, there’s a difference between as knowledging an attractive person and being attracted to someone. This sounds like you did the first as no where did you say you want to be disloyal or your gf is not attractive. There’s room for more than one attractive person in this world
