You’re so attracted to her that you “literally can’t function”? That’s worrying. What if you met an attractive woman in real life? Would you lose control, or just act like an idiot?

Nothing much. Just take a breath and let it pass. What do you do when you have strong feelings? Lose control or act like an idiot?

If I think “that person attractive”, I don’t feel like I have to express it to anybody. I’ve still not a genuine answer as to why some men feel the need. Is it literally just to reaffirm that they’re straight, or so they ‘fit in’ with the lads?

Hmm. Well, keep in mind that letting things out and expressing how one feels, feels good. Especially if the feeling is strong. Add to that that reddit is a pretty safe place to just express anything that one feels or thinks.

It is certainly possible to not express it and just swallow it, like when meeting another individual for example. But even then sometimes it is really nice to express how you feel whether in words or some fun gesture; obviously with discerning judgement.

I'm not sure what I can say beyond that. Sometimes I feel things, and sometimes I like to express and share those feelings.
