LOL!! You have no business even sniffin' this thread, Andy! Glad you could make it anyway.

But to answer the OP's questions, yes, I have, and I just take it in stride. I'll ask them why they thought so and laugh and move on. I'm usually told they originally thought I was gay when they first met me, but after knowing me or seeing me around a bit, they see they were wrong.

Yes, a few times. I think a former friend of mine must've always thought I was bi as around the time the death knell was sounding around our friendship he wrote a message to his wife who he was then separated from saying he knew I was a 'bisexual fag' (and for good measure, that I and my wife, who is/was actually bisexual, are basically a menace and shouldn't be around his children - presumably including the one he was at that time shunning as not being his ).

Anyway, I digress. On a few occasions my wife has half-jokingly (only half, mind) questioned my sexuality.

Online several times people have assumed I'm bi or gay. I find it perplexing given my totally macho username.

and the kitten avatar

I have never mistaken you for gay or bi, I know that you are English.

Bi, Gay, English its all the same in the end anyways.

As for myself-all the time. I dress to nice and neat not to be, according to fill in the blank. I normally don't care, occasionally it gets annoying. I was at this concert (my brothers band) in this hick town-where the idea of a men's cut t-shirt and men type jeans on women was the standard wear at the event (not sexy or hot). And this woman asked if I were gay? I asked her if she was? After answering no, I just said don't confuse a man with style with being gay.

Yup. A majority of the time it was by girls and women who most likey interested in me. I guess it was just there way of seeing if I was on the DL or not.

I'm sure I was called "gay" and "fag" a bunch as a kid by bullies. Those don't really count.s

As far as people actually questioning my sexuality, it doesn't happen much.

People mostly pointed out how geeky and was and are.

No, at least not to my knowledge. I've jokingly been hit on by the same sex before (usually women I know); we just laugh it off and move on.

There was a time I considered other women because men were a constant disappointment. Didn't last very long..I never had any lesbian experience with a woman, nor do I really plan to.

I'm no longer bi-curious...except in jest. Men may be disappointing..but I haven't given up...the right fella might be out there somewhere...

Question:

Have you ever been suspected of being queer (bi, gay, bi-curious)?

Can you describe the situation?

Yes, I was suspected to be gay because all my roommates in my apartment had boyfriends and I was the only single one. I was single throughout jh, hs, college. So I had my bestfriend who happen to be a girl and she didn't date like me they thought we were gay and I was pretty hurt because I wasn't gay, I just had a hard time dating. Then she started dating some guy then said I was gay because it wasn't that hard to date. aint that something now she is queer , she calls herself that lol, and I was the straight one the whole time

Yeah kind of frequently. I never had a girlfriend growing up until I graduated high school. Never having a girlfriend or even attempting to get one led to a lot of..."Are you gay?" (Less of a question, more of a veiled assumption at this point) Because it's perfectly sound and completely scientific reasoning to take the absence of a girlfriend to indicate the presence of a boyfriend.

In fact, I (jokingly) wonder if the opposite happens to gay men. If they don't have a partner for several years, do other gays come up to them and say..."Are you straight??"

You're preaching to the choir. I hear that FauxReal.

I have some gay friends that WANT me to be gay, but I would want me too.

every day

yep. i'm divorced and single, and because i don't sleep around a lot nor advertise my sexuality, my sister's ex husband decided i am gay. i told him i'm not, but to this day i think he equates not following the stereotypical role for women with = gay.

Yes I assumed you were gay but i'm pretty sure its to do with the kitten picture and the name and the fact you have some fawning female orgers around you "awww fauxie" type stuff which women only usually say to gay men as for a straight guy that would be seen as a come on lol

@ "awww fauxie" type stuff

I always hoped it's because I'm a nice guy and sure I do interact with online and spend most time in real life around women.

I'm unthreatening. I like that though. Women can be friends with me without complications (I'd like to think), which would suggest I'm being a devoted husband and doing what I should. Well done me.

I don't think you're gay at all. I just think you wear gay well.

LOL ^Post has been reported to mods

I've never been suspected to be really homosexual (but asked a few times, just out of interest or because I seemed more "free" in my approach to sexuality), but I've been called gay very often, just to hurt my feelings.

People don't understand that it doesn't hurt my feelings when someone says I'm gay just because I dress, move, sing and talk differently than most others. How would that make me homosexual in the first place and how the hell would that make me a bad person? I just laugh at people who are so narrow-minded they think that certain aspects other than your sexual orientation can make you gay and that being gay is something bad. So stupid

Couldn't tell you're a Prince fan. Not saying it's forced, as you're obviously an extremely smart, well-rounded guy, but this is very cute.

No bis or bi-curious, or bi-centinial or whatever. Just straight as hell....

Question:

Have you ever been suspected of being queer (bi, gay, bi-curious)?

Can you describe the situation?

I'm bi-curious and formerly straight as hell (not that much), so, I guess I can answer:

I was "straight as hell" in my teens: action movies, loud, "manly", music, big tits, etc. Then, when I was 17-22 I just "opened myself" to the world (no pun intended). New music which can be considered as bi-curious (Bowie, Duran Duran, Prince, Roxy Music, Mick Jagger, Madonna) or just music performed by gay artists (Pet Shop Boys, George Michael, Elton, Queen, etc), which expanded my mind & preferences.

I started using some makeup & other products when I was 17 (no, not eyeliner for fuck's sake, lol). I didn't look like a glamorous queen at all, but some people (girls, actually) noticed it and for a couple of weeks, all hell broke loose in my school, and I had to fight (literally) in order to be left alone. I still use some makeup on saturday nights, I can't help it, I feel much more comfortable, and in fact, many ladies love it...

I also got fascinated with ancient history: Babylon, Egypt, the Greeks, the Romans, etc. which were all bi, or bi-curious at the very least, lol. That also expanded my mind. Yes, I'm a religious fella, but I hardly doubt that sex & gays are the main concern of God . That's just ridiculous. Just live and let live...The "original sin" concept is bollocks...

I don't feel uncomfortable surrounded by naked men/male young people, as long as they're hot (nudist beaches, orgies, etc.), I've been massaged some times by other men, and I don't mind talkin' about male beauty (many, many straight males cannot talk about it )

That said, I'm not interested in sex with other men. It doesn't turn me on. And when I watch porn, the lady is still the main focus of my pleasure. And no, I just don't enjoy using female clothes. Well, perhaps a beautiful japanese dress lol

Both of my husbands have accused me of being a lesbian. Just because the female body turns me on. Although I am not. I just find girls attractive.

Yeah it happens, I used to work in a place where I was the only girl, and I tend to get along with men better than woman cause they are always getting bitchy and false and I hate that.. but after a moment, cause I was single, some of them thought I was gay cause I wasn't into any of them (well, that was false, I did find one of them very sexy and nice to chat with, but they don't have to know! )

So yeah, being single girl with pets and liking singers like Prince and Michael Jackson, some thinks that makes me gay... lol, funny

Graycap23 said:

No.

Really?

I would have guessed straight away.

Not really. I have had gay guys hit on my me though, but thats because I always tried to be nice and not be mean to ward them off.

One time some guy had the nerve to try to hit on me in front of me then ask me "how much I charge" Another time I walked into a casino and this guy gets within like two inches of my face, had to be drunk or something, and goes "DUDE YOU ARE ROCKING. DUDE YOURE ROCKING" Another time one guy just sat there and kept looking at me

Theres been a few other times too, but I think the appeal of what gay men like is guys that are a bit different. Since I do my own thing going on I guess thats the attraction.

Now a days they just leave me alone since I pretty much let em know its not cool.
