Straight go gay reddit

He was your typical straight guy – had only dated women, just out of a five-year relationship with his girlfriend, casually dating again. A few years ago, a man shared this story on Reddit, capturing that rare, electric moment when attraction completely blindsides you and everything you thought you knew about yourself shifts in an instant.

It does not bother me at all to see guys kissing or holding hands. Of course. I wonder what straight guys really think about gay guys. To be honest, yeah, I do. Every American should enjoy the same legal protections and benefits and responsibilities as anyone else.

if it’s for a reason like that, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with going to a gay bar if you’re straight. There are more gay men in my social circle than there are people of color. Some will react as you fear they might, others will have no particular reaction, still others will be just as curious about you as you are about them.

It may help to remember some reasons why some straight men may react negatively: they may be the victim of groupthink among their friends; they may be insecure about their own masculinity or their own ability to attract sexual partners confident men, it seems to me, would just be happy for one less competitor for available women.

Works both ways. It has been rough for a variety of reasons, including fear that straight guys will think I am a freak. At all. The major thing that distinguishes them is that, like me, they are usually childless, which means making any kind of social plans with them is a lot less complicated.

As a young man, I thought two men kissing was gross, as did my peers. I recently accepted that I am gay. Will there be some straight men who are disgusted by you? As a queer man in a fraternity, my college career was straight men trying to explain away their queer tendencies as jokes and misunderstandings.

Straight People Tell Us : Recently, I stumbled upon a Reddit thread from a few years ago that tackled an interesting topic: things gay men don't get about straight men

Yeah, this. Do you think we turned our wrong? Good luck, I hope you never have any problems with straight men or anyone else about your sexuality. Some will freak out, some will actively hate you, and some will be neutral or positive. Some of my cishet family go to gay bars because it has better music, a livelier atmosphere, etc.

What. Some may just not know how to react. But I also wonder that about straight women, and so I shrug in both cases. I do vote, and I support equity and equality measures. Edit: More seriously, I think this may be a component of the so-called—um, is this a bad word?

(Bombastic Side Eye) A Reddit user recently asked. The fact I had that kind of response was due to cultural conditioning. Do you find us disgusting? I think the more easygoing and open you can be, the more positive reaction you are likely to get.

To be bluntly honest, I believe the majority of reflexive thought of straight men towards gays will always be of some sort of in-built revulsion. Then one evening commute changed everything.
