its quite noble, that you were always truthful to yourself.
it sucks when people try to act like something they are not.

I was the gay friend before I was willing to admit I was the best friend. lol
From the age of 16 (when I came out) it just snowballed.

I think right now, I have like, 1 gay guy friend...I think...Guys just don't want to be friends with me, unless they're "getting something" out of it. I hate that shit. Like, just because I'm their friend, I'm obligated to dick them down when they can't get any from somebody else rolleyes Ninja please.



lol @ "Ninja please"

With me it's like I'm not "gay" enough to be accepted into gay cliques. I really don't effing get it.

It may be that I don't flash it around. I'm not all "I'm so fucking gay" all the time. I have an aquaintance who is the world's greatest fag hag (she reminds me of Margaret Cho) and I think she's ashamed to introduce me to her gay mafia posse.

Sorry, I refuse to wax so I can join your steeenking club!

I'm not in any cliques either pout

comfort

I do prefer to hang out with straight men nod

I almost exclusively have hung out with straight or bi male friends.



One thing that I've noticed about gay men...even those who claim to be 'too straight' to be 'gay' by their friends, is that in reality they really are pretty gay. What I mean by gay before I delve into games of semantics is displaying feminine characteristics I would normally associate with women--emotional expressiveness and a general disposition I would associate with women.

It's not something I can adequately explain in a few short words, but suffice it to say I find their brains to be wired more simliar to women's brains than 'one of the buds' no matter what their mannerisms or tastes.

This isn't so with my bi friends. They were alpha male horn dogs and though a few had feminine mannerisms, their brains were very much wired like 'men'.

Not trying to be offensive. I'm not calling gay men "girls", but there *is* an emotional disposition that is very similar in my eyes. For this reason, I've found it much easier to just be friends with straight or bi men.



I get what you're saying, and you have a point. I think with the very good straight male friends I've had it's been a case of getting the best of both worlds in that we can be lads together, hang out, talk about football (real football, not that gay rugby dressing up contest that you have over the pond), drink, get real smutty, play pool etc, but at the same time they can let their guard down a little more than they would with straight friends and show a little emotion (probably as a result of the 'wiring' you referred to).

In the end I've found that it is often too good as you become for them the complete package all in one body...leading to the sticky moments I referred to earlier. It's a beautiful thing and many of the most satisfying relationships I've had have been of this nature regardless of how they have ended.

Been there . . .
But I have great straight friends.
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

I'm ALWAYS the queer best friend! And the thing is, my friends make it a POINT to point my gayness out to others whenever they talk about me. I'll be introduced like "This is my gay friend, Lonnie." or "This is Lonnie, he's gay" and I'm just like god DAMN!! Why can't I just be Lonnie? And if I'm gonna be introduced like that, it might as well be "Gemini, Christian, Right Handed, Democratic, Artistic, Meat Eater, and gay" sheesh!



Same here! Sometimes I think my last name is Shezalesbo lol

"I'd like you to meet my friend Nik Shezalesbo" rolleyes
