For stright guys. Are you ever asked if your gay?

Post Reply New Topic

Speaking from the other side of the question, I am generally too shy to come right out an ask a guy that I find attractive whether or not he is gay. I usually wait for the signals (eventually some anecdote about a past or present girlfriend will come forward...)

Single men who do not talk about women they like with their friends, and shy away from any discussion of sex or relationships, are often recognised as hiding something. This leads to quiet speculation, and the most common presumption is that the man in question is a closeted homosexual. You don't even have to be that good-looking or charming, just not overtly sexual.

Only one woman in school alluded to my presumed homosexuality, after she'd had a few drinks. She wasn't up for considering that I might be straight after all, but it didn't really bother me much. I was mainly just glad she didn't notice me staring at her in an earlier class.

That's not the only way you can be considered homosexual. I mean, billsmithglendale had a list of reasons on the last page.

Some of my friends ask me I'm gay because I apparently act like I'm hitting on em when I'm not trying to. I also have some interest that straight men are not supposed to have & I hate things that straight men are supposed to like. I suspect lots of Aspies may not fit the stereotypical gender sexuality roles. If your a guy who's awkward discussing topics of hot women & you hate sports; don't be surprised if people question your orientation

The amount of guys who have expressed interest in my has recently eclipsed the amount of women. I think I give off some vibe.

Looking at my prospects, my life would be going so much better if I was gay.

Such is life

Don't forget what I said about the fact that many of us don't bother to try dating because we have a low social status.

Has occured sometimes.

I say, well bend over and lets find out

I occasionally get asked because I have 3 rings in my right ear and only one in my left, which apparently is a gay thing , never by actual gay people mind you, they seem to know better. It just makes me laugh in that I'm outwardly so masculine looking and have such stereotypically male hobbies and tastes, someone would have to be pretty dense about gay culture to mistake me for anything but straight.

I'm asexual so I never really had a sexual interest in anyone. My lack of eye contact means that I don't stare at women like I should. When I was younger, a little excitement and I'd be flapping my arms and such. That just has to look gay.

In jr high, I got accused of being gay by a lot of people. In high school I actually got beat up for looking gay. In college, gay guys would ask me if I was gay. I actually made friends with some of them. At least they didn't beat me up. They explained that my lack of eye contact with girls meant that I wasn't interested in them so I must be gay. Its just that being an asexual aspie really messes up their gaydar.
