I've had my fair share of gay men hitting on me.
Is it uncomfortable? Yes, a bit.
But it's also strangely flattering.
I think the source of my own discomfort comes from the guy thinking that I might be gay.
So I ask myself: "Do I look gay?"
And I respond with this train of thought:
Women hit on me too--more so than gay men. So even if I look gay, I also must look masculine. Whatever attracts gay men cannot be turning off women.
Then I ask: "Why am I uncomfortable with what just happened?"
And I respond:
Well, I very much enjoy sex with women. I admire some men, but I hold no sexual attraction for any of them.
So it's just me getting a little peeved for a second. And it's just a guy that would probably rather be straight, trying to pick up a guy, just as I would approach a female. It doesn't make me feminine though. It just makes the other guy gay.
The bottom line, I think to myself, is that I'm an attractive (heterosexual) man.
And even gay men think so! Hah!
And it's one less guy in the room that won't be going after that hot chick in the corner.
Thats about how I feel.
I've worked with alot of gay men, and been fine with them even trying to flirt with me abit, all in fun, but none of them ever tried to hit on me for real, they knew I was straight.
But more recently I've been regularly followed to the bathroom by a gay guy at a previous temp job, and it freaked me out, but I felt too sorry for the guy to do anything "militant" about it.
And a few gay guys hollering at me is tolerable and abit flattering, but when they pull out a camera on the metro, I get very uncomfortable.
I'm starting to get to be very uncomfortable around gay men, but I'm trying real hard not to become some gay hater.
We are all alittle gay me thinks. And gay bashers are the guys that are terrified of their homosexuality.
So to the bashers I say relax, just because you look up to and respect another man, or even think he is attractive, does not make you gay. If you fantasize about sucking cack or other homosexual stuff, perhaps you are in fact gay and would live a much happier life if you stopped hating yourself and lived congruent to with sexuality.
And by the way, homosexuality is nothing new at all, it has been around since the beginning of time. It is man's extreme extreme expression of vanity.
