Are you GAY?? (Page 4)

Yeah...but it is whole wheat, fat free, sugar free cake.  We have to keep in better shape than our straight counter parts...LOL 

Oh.  Well nevermind then.

This is awesome!  ^^^^

Sign me up.

cake is all it took? haha

Wouldn't care.  Would not even care if a gay man hit on me.  Just don't be a jerk (leering, continuing to hit on me after I've told you no etc..  all the same things you'd expect of a straight man hitting on a straight woman)

Have someone critique how you look at people, especially with the glasses issue...
There is a HUGE difference between a checking someone out and the make-your-hair-stand-on-end-creepiness.

I think any woman has better expertise on the matter, but seeing that you asked...

I am a straight-guy who used to be a college-cheerleader, so I feel that I have some expertise on being checked-out and/or hit-on by gay guys.

I put them all into three categories:

#1 - "If you are interested, would like to go out... have a drink... etc."
-- Normal behavior that elicited, "I am flattered, but very straight."

#2 - Then, there were the "people call me gay because I hook up with people of the same-sex, but really I am just a horny perv- that exceeds normal labels that will screw anything (gender, species, who cares?) that will consent (or not if I can get away with it)" These are the people at the park that make parents pull their children a little closer. See also, hair-stand-on-end-creepiness.

 #3- Somewhere in-between are the "aw, come-on! No one is 100% straight! I am going to convince/harass/stalk you until you break-down and give-in to switch sides - if only for one night!"


Compliments from the first group are flattering.
I have had issues with those from group 2 and 3 who know how to tip-toe the line without actually crossing where I would respond with (what I believe to be) justifiable, physical violence --- barely.

There I said it...I'm a Lesbian...have been my whole life...I like girls!

No, BUT, just like a chick, I probably wouldn't want to get hit on during my workout by some random dude...  At the bar?  No prob!

I've been rocking pink forever. (Gotta be bright though, I hate pastels.)  Very secure in myself, and more than a little sympathetic to some of the BS aimed at the "Family" since I am so often thought to belong to it as more than an ally.

Here's a current pic of my left hand (right hand holding the camera is done too):

 
I don't think I've ever been checked out by another guy.  I'm still too fat.

I must think though, that triathlon training should cause all of us to get more of that kind of stare, from ALL sexes!

Oh...I am definitely not the creepy...I just look away a little later than I usually would if wearing glasses, some guys I can see smile at it, some smile in that "you are too" way, but then every once in a while, a guy gives me a really dirty look.  Oh, I should also say, that I look and say hello to everyone while running, sometimes it is just a head nod, other times its full on verbal "Good Afternoon"...So I am not just looking at the guys.  Same thing in the gym.  I never look at guys in the locker room, so I don't make them feel uncomfortable, and usually in the weight room, I am only looking to pick up technique, but every once in a while, I feel a little disgruntled attitude come back at me.  I, also, sometimes get looks from women, who I assume think I am checking them out, when in reality I can't really see them clearly, so not really checking them out.  And on a side note to my side note...I don't think women should wear flesh colored shirts.  From a distance it looks like you are not wearing anything... and to me, you sometimes look like a shirtless man (without my glasses and from a distance) and then when I get close I am soooo disappointed that you are not the eye candy / pace booty I was hoping for.  

Also not gay, but some of my very best friends are gay. 

And genuinely flattered when women hit on me! 

Yea, gay skinny is WAYYY different than straight skinny. :-P
I have friends that go to the gym just as much as I do, and not out of training for anything, but out of vanity lol

HAH!  This can be reversed, fellas please don't wear tight jeans a la leggings, I was walking along back in my Army days with my brother and a couple of army buddies, saw someone walking quite a way ahead, said to my buddies, something along the lines of check out the pace booty (paraphrased for BT).......was mercilessly mocked when we passed HIM a little further up the road!!

We have so much in common.

Depends on who's doing the out-checking. If he's unattractive, then I'm all `What EVER! You couldn't get this ugly boy!' but if he's hot then I'm all `Maybe I'll run behind him for a while.'

Wait. What was the question again???

this is truth

This thread has me laughing hysterically. Thank you ALL.

Please forgive the machine-gun-style responses, but there's so many posts here I can't resist replying to.

(Could also be the delusional fever I'm getting over ... how long can I milk that one for?)

Actually, whether you define "sexes" genotypically, phenotypically, or by hormone ratios, or by some combination of all three and even other factors ...

There are more than two sexes. And a whole lot in between, and beyond.

Ah-HEM cough cough cough.

What I said at my 32nd birthday party was strictly for a private audience.

That's a melon press, dear.

(oh hey, if I tried to eat that whole thing at once, even sharing it with a dog or two, would I die ... )

I might be disturbed if you check me out on a run cause i usually am a hot sweaty mess and doubt i could appeal to most people at that time. So im probably thinking your just going damn that guy is trying to hard. Like a couple of other posters mentioned, im also very flattered by comments from gay men, more so than from women usually. One of my good friends is so adorable and is more "feminine" than any women ive ever met.

Your new avatar definitely pushes me a couple shades more onto the gay side of the happiness spectrum.
