How to have straight friends?

[eastofeden]

At this specific time in my life all my close friends except for my lover are seriously hyper masculine straight guys....nice looking guys...the kind women like alot:biggrin:....my gay friends have pretty much all died....and I hang out with these guys and the funny thing...of course they look at women all the time and they know I am gay...oddly enough they are extremely protective and supportive of me and Dave's relationship....moreso than most people...I have never figured that part out yet...just surprising to me for some reason...they are actually really very sweet and caring...LOL

.....so back to the women...I dont' care when they do that but one time the four of us were in my car and I stopped to check out this guy's ass and they all started hooting and I laughed and I told them I DEMAND equal time damnit...now they try to find me guys and they have actually figured out exactly what I like and point them out to me...even my gay friends couldn;t do that:biggrin:...I don't really like that many guys and I have an extremely specific type and now they know the kind of guys ass I like to look at...it is funny to hear them try to "help me":biggrin:......

As for flirting...NO...NEVER. It is disrespectful IMO...I can't stand it when a woman constantly wants to flirt with me when she knows I am gay...makes my skin crawl and it is very annoying after awhile....and I expect this is how a straight man feels with a gay man who either does it or if he senses he wants to. I love my straight friends...I want them to be who they are and I want to be who I am and I love the respect we have for each other.

Mutual respect opens alot of doors and builds bridges....people are entitled to their boundaries and if you are any kind of friend you will respect them and hopefully learn to respect yourself as well.
