Sometimes... Things would be a little more simple. But usually no, I like having my options open and all this questioning made me more self-aware.
I think it would be easier so, I think about it sometimes... but then I see a beautiful girl and my "straightness" is gone.
Two years later, and the same still applies. Although, I almost just end up wishing I could've been the person my crush would've been attracted to.
I guess I still would have liked to be straight, maybe because I still haven't really reconcile my beliefs with what I am, but slowly I'm liking the way I am. So I guess in a few days, months, years, I'll be able to say that I couldn't be anything other than gay.
No, for me its just as if a hetero man was asked if he wished he was gay, to which the answer will obviously be no.
Yes occasionally. It would nice having the freedom and general support straight people have and most of all to not fear being asked intrusive questions. Although I'd imagine it is a case of "the grass is always greener". I can think of some real downsides to being a straight male: 1. The pressure to have a trophy girlfriend and be "getting laid". I think this is a bit stronger amongst straight men. For instance being a straight male virgin or having "dry periods" is the ultimate social-sin, yet I don't think its quite so much a stigma for gay men (people do understand the unique pressures facing gay men in terms of dating/being out etc) 2. The inevitable ticking clock towards settling down, getting married and having kids. Again I think this pressure is reduced for gay men. I do worry though that the "marriage pressure" might leak over to the gay community now gay-marriage is a bigger thing. The one good thing is the "biological clock" is removed - as adoption is the primary route for parenthood in gay men it really doesn't matter if you become a father later on (whereas a straight couple would have to start thinking about pregnancy ideally between the ages of 20-35 if you believe scientific literature on risks) 3. Being part of a majority. Without sounding too "hipster" being gay (and part of a minority group) is in some ways a bit non-conformist or interesting. It certainly gives you some unique life experiences and some real growth experiences.
Yes, I do! but I wish I was a straight woman so I can still like men lol I really dislike being gay these days, I like a guy so much
I don't wish I were straight, but I sometimes think about how I would react when I see a cute girl who's nice. Actually, it's kind of nice that I can deal with girls and women without falling for them, especially those that are a little obvious in their flirtations. With [straight] guys, it's a little more risky that I will fall for them, but usually they aren't flirtatious, which is good.
Me too. Being straight just makes life easier. No need to "come our", to stress over being gay, etc. Obviously when I think about liking girls in a sexual way, it bores me. But that's because I AM GAY. If I were straight, would I have ever known what a hot guy looks like? Nope. So while I like seeing hot guys over girls, I would actually like seeing hot girls over guys if I were straight.
Not easier, just more acceptable to others. But yeah, I get you, but since I'm gay I don't know how it feels to like girls. In fact,yesterday I was like "guys are soooo cute" and then I started laughing because if I ever told that to my older sister(lesbian) she would be like "what the heck do you see in them" and vice versa when she says girls are cute. :lol:
