Any heteros here?

Diatribe said:
I appreciate everyone's views and opinions, it's just not my side of the river. We agree though that there's a difference between enjoying looks and sexual attraction... I find hetero men often exaggerate their hetero-ness in order to be clearly seen as non-homosexual. Why can't someone enjoy clothes and beauty in general without being seen as a homosexual or metrosexual for that matter? Everyone should be able to define him/herself without being forced into any category.

I totally agree. I'm kind of the opposite in that I'm not a fashionista, I really don't pay all that much attention to what I wear. My friends often ask me "are you sure you're gay?" when I wear something particularly unflattering and I don't realize it. I'm quite sure that I'm gay in that I am sexually attracted to men and I am a man. However, if being stylish, effeminate, and trendy makes you gay, then no, I'm not gay.

With the possible exception of the illustrious moment in another thread -- the photo thread? -- where one member promised to rock another member's and her boyfriend's world :eek: . Hall of Fame material.

I have a question for you straight folks... What attracts you to women? I find them to be very unattractive. I love the solidity and strength of a man. I think I would be happiest in the arms of a big guy, cuddling me off to a deep sleep. Getting held by a woman would be like... getting suffocated by jello :eek: :D. I find little comfort or security in a woman's embrace.

Women tend to have more gregarious personalities though, I have lots of female friends. I just can't imagine wanting to touch them :eek:. Men tend to be more insecure, but that makes the good ones all the more attractive :).

I am deeply fascinated with the female body. Yes, I know, this will easily sound primitive, but I can't help it. In contrast to you the softness is exactly one of the things I like the most. Maybe it's an oedipus kind of thing, maybe it's esthetic, maybe it's because the two different kinds seem to supplement each other really well imho :D Oh, yes...

But obviously it goes deeper than that - why do I fall in love with them and not with boys? Who knows. Falling in love in always a journey into unknown land and I think their mysterious and exotic difference from men might play a role here. Maybe it's coincidence.

And... they tend to do the dishes more often than me (which is fair enough, since I always do the cooking) ;).

I'd forgotten about those little pocket rulers from junior high... talk about a flashback! ;)

Hetero here, don't really see why it matters. Lived for a couple of months with a gay couple and, you know, I'll be damned if they didn't seem just like normal people to me. You'd've never known they were deviants. ;)

Seriously, sexual preference matters to me only when it comes to deciding if I'd been rejected because the girl was straight and just didn't like me or because she was a lesbian. It would seem that there are a vast number of lesbians out there....

But, other than that, folks is folks, and sexual preference doesn't have any impact on my decision to like someone. Or to dislike them. I happen to like girls because, well, that's how my brain works, but I could see the other point of view too (most women seem to like men, so I guess there's something there). Just not my cuppa.
 
Personally Hetero.

But who cares if you are homo or hetero - we are all equal in my opinion! For that reason, I fully support gay rights & gay marriage.

Hey, some people jump out of the closet, and others get tangled up in the clothes and spend their time flailing about and making penis comments....

Me too. And I'm sick of the gay thread too.

Gosh- so sorry the gay thread seems to make so many people so sick. Why don't you simply stop reading it? No one's forcing you.

BTW- I love straight people. Who else would I watch baseball and hockey with? :)

I'm a woman I think women are hot. But I still identify as hetero. Given a choice as to which I'd rather oogle all day long-- it'd be women. I like the way women look.

MacDawgI love you! You too, Blue Velvet.

Private pain is a very real issue for many people... pain that they don't feel that they can share with anyone else because they get a reaction of "get over it", "suck it up", "just rub a little dirt on it", etc.

Belittling another's feelings only serves to cause further internalization. Saying "I was only kidding" or "I was just joking" rarely erases the event from a person's trauma. While one joke can be 'funny', suffering a life time of them rarely is... even if it is over something the 'joker' finds insignificant

I definitely agree. And for Mr. Anderson, because you're a mod and you asked... page 4, post 95 (I tried doing that cool link that only displays one post but I can't seem to figure it out).

True, no one is forcing anyone to read any certain thread (although I enjoy reading the one in question).
Heck, the "gay thread" is better than this one IMHO. :)

Aww... although I identify myself as being heterosexual. :D ;)




...albeit with a large number of gay male friends. The only major drawback about them is that they're fairly hopeless at setting me up with suitable prospective partners.

Move to the states! I'll introduce you to bunch of nice hetero boys. I've set up quite a few friends very successfully. Now if I could just do the same for myself. :) PlaceofDis us my next project I think. Unless he's already found himself another girl. ;)

no girls, nope. not that seem to run away from me, but they all seem to be crazy, at least the ones i meet up with. i just want a nice sweet cute intelligent woman who shares some similar interests and is open minded, is that too much to ask for? :eek:

I'm sort of of the opinion that everybody is slightly crazy (and well, some people are bit more out there)... I think it's all about finding somebody whose craziness can jive w/ yours. At least, that's the way I see people. :D Not a big shock that I'm slightly anti-social and deathly afraid of women, huh? :eek:

Hmm...maybe introducing you to one of the rollergirls is a bad idea then. They are a little crazy. ;) I'll have to change gears. BTW-are we still good for next Sunday?
