    I've always found women to be WAY less hung up about sexuality in general. Maybe it's the women who've been in my life but it sure seems to me like guys are much more freaked out by stuff like that.

    Yeah, LM (who is striaght) actually told me that she... well... experimented with a girl.

    Hmmm, perhaps that's the perfect excuse... let see how it sounds:

    me: Hey, AC, you know I have a scientific mind, and am always thinking of new experiments and theories

    AC: right, so?

    me: well, I kinda need you for an experiment...

    AC: ein?

    me: well, all you have to do is relax and enjoy... I'll take care of the rest...

    AC: what the hell?

    *me lying on the floor after getting kicked in the face by AC*
    *AC grabs a knife and proceeds to dismember me*

    hmmm, don't think I like that scenario...

    lol, jokingly demented minds are great.

    i think my friends are somewhat wondering about me, I'm not sure though. They soo me as a sort of pimp, so i think they would feel that there is enough proof of me being straight. One thing changed recently though, about a week ago we were hanging out for the day and i decided to give most of my straight mags to one of my porn addicted friends. I made sure to keep one, Sports Illiustrated, but i think he found it somewhat odd. I just told him that i dont ever look at porn anymore (which is actualy completely true). Well, today at band, my porn addicted friend mentioned how i was " turning gay" on them. considering i was just sucking on dum-dums, i didnt realy respond, but i am sure it was only told as a joke. It was only around me and my 2 good friends, and my crush, K. hmm, maybe it's a good thing that they are joking about me being gay around him, it'd give me a little more lee-way to "joke around" around him. ehh, everything can wait a little longer.

    Most of my friends know I'm gay too. I don't have the flailing arms either. But most of my girlfriends love it when I do a straight guy impersonation. I think it's because I mock it, making it painfully obvious that I'm not striaght...

    Well I thought I would bring this thread back up in the midst of something else that happend to me...Last week in chemestry class, we were doing some lab work, and my friend C comes up to me and looks over at my data. He turns to our other friend who was his lab partner and said something like, "Hey why is Nick's (me) info way different then ours?"

    I turned and answered, "Uhh maybe because you guys are dumb?"

    He then said (not literally, but instead derogatorily), "Dude are you gay???"

    All of a sudden my teacher walks up and says, "Did you just ask if he was gay?"

    C, lyingly said, "no..."

    Then my teacher replies saying, "Be careful what you say...you never know."


    Just thought I'd share that with you guys...the whole time I was just laughing inside!!

    lol, thats great.
    Thanks for bringing this thread back, It's funny to go back and read what i had written 5 months ago. Still have a crush on the same kid as i had mentioned in my last post in this thread. So over the summer, while at band camp, a bunch of us, including him, were hanging out in a room, and i started hitting on him. My friends found it hillarious (i did too), but nobody could have known that i had the "serious, but not serious, seriously" mentality. Anyways, after telling my friends a month later, they found it even funnier that i wasnt really joking with him.
    Everybody I've told so far has been shocked btw. I guess my hints were well hidden before.

    Well recently I've been planting more, less subtle hints. I'm always going out with my boyfriend and other gay friends, and my straight friends are always asking questions, such as "how do you know them?" etc. I always avoid these questions, obviously changing the subject, which creates a lot of suspicion.

    My best straight friend has cottoned on, however. He's been voicing his 'concerns' to my other straight friends while I'm not there, although I'm out to one of my straight friends, who's been filling me in.

    Anyway, we had a casual dress day at school (we usually wear uniform, tie, blazer and all) and I'm wearing my new polo shirt, jeans and flip flops. My best friend was bitching about fashion, and how stupid it is that straight guys are dressing like gay guys to get girls' attention. Then he says "Like that shirt for instance, its so gay...but then again you ARE gay so *meh*." We always joke around calling each other gay, but this was just different. I know he'll accept me, but I'm waiting untill the end of the year to come out to all my friends.

    Until then I suppose I'll just play along with his comments.
     
  10. Ugh, that is SO true.

    I'm pretty stereotypically gay. Most of my close friends are girls; I'm a big fan of figure skating and gymnastics (and not interested whatsoever in football, basketball, baseball, or hockey); I tend to like female singers over male ones; and I have a high-pitched voice. In fact, I'm pretty much the poster child for a gay boy except that I don't like to shop. I think most people suspect I'm gay, but no one ever wants to assume.

    Oh, you know what? Who remembers when that stupid magazine (was it Details?) printed a feature entitled (something like) "Is he gay -- or just Asian?" The connotation was that Asian men often appear to be gay, but that's just b/c they're like that. I think maybe people think that about me (i.e. they think, "Well, he seems kind of gay, but he IS Asian, so I don't know...")

    Well, I have become more and more a stereotype in the last few months. One factor was comming out to all my friends (I think there are three of them that don't know yet, but they could figure it out on their own, and we don't see each other that much). I guess the other factor is a friend, most likely she'll be reading this, so I won't talk much about her ;-). She kinda made more stereotypically gay... Like, I wouldn't go shopping if my life depended on it, and I wouldn't wear jeans, nor any white clothing (with the obvious exception of the tkd do-bok).

    Now, she actually got me to go shopping, and enjoy it!! I guess most people that know me, in my old HP t-shirt, would actually be surprised by this... but hey.

    So I guess it all comes down to circumstances... and oh, yeah, my great common sense... that tells me that yellow sleevless tank tops are a big no-no... XD

    AND THIS IS FOR YOU!!!

    btw, it was funny to read this old thread... I think I'll dedicate a weekend to searching the archives of this forum reading old posts and trying to establish differences between how I used to think and how I think now... just to fulfill my obsessiveness and see if perhaps I grew something in the past few months...

    "you still gay?" lol. Hmm, I would definately respond with "want me to prove it?"

    Yea, I've never been really stereotypical.. At all. I've even had a friend say that I'm terrible at being gay. well, that is except for liking guys. I have been accused of being gay for listening to Elton John. It was kinda funny. I was in a meeting, and I had asked my advisor if he went to the Elton John concert, he had, and in response another member said "Elton John? But he's gay!". My advisor and I burst out laughing. He responded with "My brother's gay, are you afraid that i might infect you with a disease?"

    I actually didn't want my friends to know I'm gay (bisexual, anyways). They're fine with gay people, but just, I don't know. I don't like bringing up my personal life and people don't need to be in it, I guess. But then again, I guess I deserved getting the fact that people are knowledgeable of my sexual orientation because I always am "flaunting it." I'm such a show-offy type person. When there is an opportunity to display something of myself that is different generally to others, I would do so. So that was my consequence. LOL!

    Anyways, a few of my female friends from choir know, as well as a few straight friends.
