    Ok,
    I was gonna post this on the gay forum, but then it occured to me there may not be many straight women there lol ;)

    My thing is, *why* is it that once a woman finds out you are gay, you suddenly become an available alternative to Matt Damon?!?!?!

    Even if you are ugly as sin, its amazing and Id love to know what the appeal is? lolol

    ;)

    Well, I for one don't know what it is about Matt Damon that you're referring to, but then I've only seen him in movies...

    Gay male friends are the ultimate in safe male friends, you can flirt with them without ever being afraid that they will be hitting on you. All my gay male friends are just really nice also :D

    jesus man...how many times are people advised

    WOMEN WANT WHAT THEY THINK THEY CANT HAVE!!!!

    Straight guys get it too.
    Single man - cant find a woman.
    Got a g/f - cant beat them off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,027 ✭✭✭alleepally


    Opposite is true too. I always want the women I can't have i.e. they're involved or married. Beats the hell out of me why I always want that. I am the original Eagles Desperado!

    i dont get the appeal, but then i prefer male friends cause they aren't as bitchy and whiney and dont tend to dump you for their new boyfriend or whatever...

    I've an interesting story about that, a guy I knew was "gay", all the ladies loved him, thought he danced well, dressed well and was an all round nice guy. One of te ladies was very good friends with him, then one night he turned out not to be gay and was actually Bisexual and he fucked her. Isn't mister "gay" guy nice now. Fair enough all men don't dress well, or dance well, but at least with a straight man, you know where you stand.

    There's a word for women that flirt with men they aren't attracted to. Begins with 'c', ends in 't', got 'un' in the middle. Four letters.

    If you don't find a guy attractive, don't flirt with him. Then he probably won't hit on you. Go figure.

    (Yes, I am a lonely bachelor that finds it difficult to discern honest flirtation, like Billy Connolly swatting away the woman with her tongue in his ear. I blame catholic boys school. And yes, I am bitter.)

    Thats kind of funny, i never really chummed around with other women for the same reasons, i used to have a lot of gay male friends,but then there seemed to be this movement in the gay male culture to become more bitchy and catty than most women, so now i dont really hang out with anyone but slovenly, nerdy guy types. I loves my stinky guy friends ;)

    I think most guys know this but pretend not to just so they won't be tempted to do this...

    Any straight guy out there ever faked being gay to pull??? Of course there is!! Anyone who wants to admit please do so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭Tiriel


    you know the theory girls and boys can't just be friends?? well.. I wish I could argue with it but.. yeah gues in a way there is a bit of truth in it. Most of my friends are male.. and yeah.. when drink is involved conversations have been had. Not something that I enjoy either :( It's a pity cos a lot of friendships go downhill cos one feels something for the other that just isn't mutual.

    do u think girls and fellas can just be friends? and that neither one has any feelings? I dunno anymore.

    That's why a gay guy who is straight talking ('scuse the pun) is a great friend. It's like a girlfriend.. only without the bitchiness etc. That's all there is to it in my opinion ;)

    so now i dont really hang out with anyone but slovenly, nerdy guy types.
    Sounds like my friends!

    two words "FAG HAGS"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    When i was single no one cares.. im not bad looking im told so its not that.. when i have a girlfriend i get looks from plenty of women.. im married now so dont need to worry about it but still... Women want what they cant have... if your single there must be a reason so they dont want to know.. if you are with someone though they wonder why and whats so special about you.

    I don't get how someone's sexual preference effects a relationship, I just found out recently that one of my best mates is gay and the only difference is instead of both of us checking out women we now check out women and men, I love just as much as I did before I knew. When I told my mates that I was straight they all laughed and treated me the same (did this in support of my best mate) why do men see gay guys as a threat? Why do women and men treat gay men or women different to straight ones, why do people care so much about what other people find attractive? If someone likes you they will hopefully have the guts to tell you. Take it as a complement if you don’t feel the same back or take the next move if you do. That’s life live it deal with it and get over it.

    Youve got a point!...it shouldnt make a difference at all but it does in most peoples cases!
    I also dont buy into that men and women cannot just be friends!I have probably close to as many women friends as bloke friends but it doesnt mean ive had the urge to hit on them all!But i will go as far as to say there have been one or two i have hit on!Hasnt ruined anything though and were still friends today!

    I've never noticed that... :confused:

    I think it's just that many women would like to have a gay man as a best friend because it seems to be the strongest friendship she can have with someone.

    I dunno...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 164 ✭✭Little Goose


    Gay men are more respectful than straight men and they kinda think like women do...

    I met a gay guy in the pub one night. At first I thought he was a straight guy and was gonna come up with cheesy chat up lines.. y'know yadda yadda yadda.. but no, when he told me he was gay we spent about 2 hours eyeing up men and bitching about them! I was so much more relaxed when I knew he wasn't trying to sneak a peek down my top at the good stuff! :p

    T'was a great laugh!

    lol - that would give me away every time if I pretended to be gay.

    It's very rare for men to have female friends. There's only two women I would consider friends but even then I wouldn't say a lot of things in front of them. Maybe if they were lesbians I wouldn't be so worried about making them uncomfortable.
