I told a coworker how I’ll watch anything Tessa Thompson and she was like “ehh, well.. she’s handsome”

then another coworker said the older white lady who is the Soccer owner on Tedd Lasso was “handsome” and I was thrown off. He is a little different but still. Handsome seems like a way of saying a woman got some hard features.

Sidenote: did you know that Hannah Waddington from Tedd Lasso was the SHAME nun on Game of Thrones?

i think it's an older term.

it actually has a meaning for women: to be striking but not conventionally good looking.

oddly enough? that's how i view Tessa Thompson. like, i think she's fine, but i wouldn't call her "conventionally good looking". she looks different than most women (i think its the cheekbone structure?) to me but still good looking.

also, randomly two days ago i ran across Tessa's cousins tik tok. she favors Tessa a lot but i would say she's more "conventionally good looking."

lastly, i don't watch Ted Lasso so i didn't know she was on there but i did know Waddington was the Shame nun (i dont' know the characters name either, haha).

I don't think it's meant as an insult but just an old school phrase.

>lastly, i don't watch Ted Lasso so i didn't know she was on

I don't know what it is but Hannah Waddingham has looked great in this season of "Ted Lasso."

a woman could take that as she looks manly, even if that's not how you meant it.

handsome, to me, implies not pretty.

implying that its that hard manly attraction

The Black woman who said it t dates white so I def took it as an insult because she was describing a Black woman.

cuz after i thought about my first reply more, i was like is that way to say someone is pretty for not being white?

cuz the definition "striking but not conventially good looking"? well conventionally good looking, at least historically, means "white beauty standard."

so........yeah. maybe?

However, as soon as I read "Tessa Thompson" I thought of the fact that she's openly bi/queer, and it made me think that, maybe, calling a woman "handsome" in the age of pronoun manipulation might not be intended as an insult by those who subscribe.

But then you said the woman started with "ehh, well" and I thought yeah that sounds like an insult.

have a hint of masculinity to their face, and are good looking. People used to say that about Kim Bassinger, or Jennifer Garner.

But I've definitely heard women use it in a way that is meant to be insulting

he kept going too

you look like a handsome boy, you gonna look like a boy forevah..

its the pitch of his voice. like he heard his grandmomma say that shit every time she comes over with her kids and ladyfriend

i don't see it as a compliment, even in and old timey way.

I take it to mean a lady has dude features.

when dude said the Ted Lasso lady was handsome it threw me off because he is a bit.. metrosexual (is that still a word?) and his wife acts like the man in their relationship so I was confused.

He was being a dick tho.. lol.
