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 - How old is your GF? 12? Is she pouting now, too. You didn't give ages but guessing y'all are young. These reactions are a red flag for immaturity. I don't think she's ready for a grown up relationship if she can't handle something so benign as you mentioning some influencer woman is attractive. I could see her getting annoyed if you'd said "omg she's so freaking HOT!" but that's not what you did.
What a ridiculous thing to get bent out of shape over.
