Getting along better with gay guys

Post Reply New Topic

I've noticed that I get along better with homosexual men than with heterosexuals, even though I'm straight myself. I don't know why that is. Is it because autism and homosexuality are both considered un-normal in society?

Same here. NT heterosexual men tend to eventually oust any other man who isn't exactly like themselves. I've always had Gay friends, and it's always been easier to keep those friends than NTs. It seems like an Aspie somehow "gets in the way" of daily activities of an NT. Gay NTs, however, have been in a situation similar to ours, in that they don't "fit in" with typical everyday social situations. That gives them and us, an appreciation for each others predicaments.

We have a lot in common with them. We were outcasts over something we were born with and forced to act normal pretending we are something we are not. NT's love to assault and insult us without provocation for just being there. Don't forget both gays and autistics are smarter and more creative then NTs in most cases.

I get along well with gay guys, mainly because straight guys have an unusually tight a**hole. Gay men don't...I wonder why...

As a female, I tend to get along better with homosexual men because I know they are after sex, but not with lesbians as I've had bad experiences. When I was nine, I was molested by a fifteen year old female.

Give me a break. Frankly, I can't stand openly homosexual men. I literally avoid them like the plague. And straight guys aren't necessarily going to hit on every woman they see.

As for hiding what you are, that is getting FAR less true of homosexuals, and was never fully true. Those that have AS or Autism don't really seem to generally be able to hide it. SURE, people may not name it, or even associate it with AS or autism, but the end result is often the same.

BESIDES, MY problem has always been convincing people of ways in which I AM different, to try to get them to avoid putting me in situations where I am severely affected.

Ive gotten along better with gay men as well but I dont think this is just mainly cause their more effiminete, closer to being gender nuetral. I tend to get along with people who are more gender nuetral in general.

I am a woman, but I also tend to get along better with gay men. It seems to be coming from them though, rather than me: i.e., gay men seem to feel comfortable in my presence, and therefore gravitate to me, whereas straight men (the NT ones, anyway) don´t seem to like me at all. I somehow offend them, and I have no idea why! I guess that could have to do with advanced social constructs that I may be unaware of. Maybe I don´t act "female" enough, or maybe it just has to do with some kind of sexual thing- (I never really know how people want me to act, and when I just "be myself", it seems to be offensive to men. ) Luckily, I do seem to get along well with straight Aspie men. In fact, learning about AS has been immensely helpful in getting over some negative, bitter feelings I used to have in regard to the opposite sex.

How can you spot "them"? Is it the same mechanism NTs use to label people they think a little odd as "ret*d", I wonder?

This is either ironic and it's sailed over my head, or it's just imbecilic.

not sure about ironic, but certainly funny. made me lol.

I DID say OPENLY homosexual. By that I mean those that flaunt it, or fit the stereotype with movement, word choice, inflection, tone, and just behaviour that shows what they are. Of course, SOME don't fit the stereotype, and don't make it an issue, and I then don't either.

BTW I NEVER said anyone that thought a little odd is ret*d. HECK, I think a little odd at times. Sometimes people LIKE that.

BTW I LOVE your choice of avatar. I feel the same way about brian as I do about you. You two DO seem to often think alike.

Steve, why dont you avoid Mcdonalds like you do gheys?

at what point did i say i avoided mcds or gay people?

Ah. I see. I think what you mean is the screaming queen type, the limp-wristed nancy-boy, with the eye makeup and ear-grating lisp.
's funny; I've only ever seen that type on rather weak comedy shows or when straight guys attempt to impersonate "a queer".
If you can say "Of course, SOME don't fit the stereotype" then I can easily refute that by saying "MOST gays don't fit the stereotype. That's why it's called a stereotype."

Heh. Well spotted on my avatar! It's also closer than you might think.

(and I didn't mean to imply you thought someone odd is a little ret*d. I was trying to draw an analogy and it failed. Sorry. )

Well if i remember correctly you did have a heartattack from eating sticks of butter on your baked patatoe so, I think it would be more beneficial to your health to stay away from such unhealthy foods. being around ghey people wont give you the plague or kill you
