Superb Opinion

  • Truthfully gay men don't bother me considering I do have a gay male fetish myself but judging from what I heard online yes whenever others straight men don't feel comfortable with the thought of gay men chatting with them it usually because

    1. Yes they don't want to deal with the constant harassment from gay men which is ironic and hypocritical because these sort of guys constantly does the same thing towards girls.

    2. Because they are extremely homophobic and honesty find the thought of gay guys to be absolutely disgusting. Hinch I say gay men if it was two women especially two really feminine lesbian kissing or dating these men will start harassing lesbian women or sexually objective them. So basically one looks hed while the other looks good, I am pretty sure they same attitude about gay men and lesbian women would be immediately flipped if you ask straight women the exact same question.

    Straight women don't have no problems sexually objectiving gay men or constantly harass them but suddenly don't feel comfortable with lesbian doing the exact thing they constantly do to gay guys so basically it just a lot of homophobia and objectectivation being played here.

  • Gay men don't bother me - I've worked with them in the corporate world for years and these days with my own business I have several gay couples as customers. I also have a couple of gay cousins in my extended family. But I'm straight (I could give laser beams lessons in straightness), and that's virtually always been respected. There have been two or three times in my life (which isn't many, in context) where I've been hit on by gay men (a couple in bars where I was DJing, and once at Mardi Gras in New Orleans) - I'm pretty sure all of them were drunk - but I've just said "no thanks, I'm straight" and they left me alone.

    It's really nothing that concerns me. Now, more "aggressive" situations might be a whole different thing, but nothing has ever gotten to that point for me.

Most Helpful Girls

  • I don't think so. When most people think of gay, they the stereotype of the very effeminate overly gossipy hairdresser type, who in their minds isn't man enough to treat anyone like a women, infact they are the woman.

    I think straight men are afraid of gay men due to the social affiliation of being seen with someone known to be gay. They may not hate the gay person personally, but they have no intention of losing social status (from their peers) just from hanging out with/being at ease with a gay person.

  • No. I’ve read stuff written by homophobes and they’re not afraid of this at all. They think gay sex is disgusting and that’s why they’re afraid of it.

  • Yes, 100%.

  • I am against anal in general so I don't treat women like that, I just find gay stuff disgusting.

  • This is retarded even as a thought experiment …. Gimme a break. You have too much free time on your hands.

    • I have covid, all I have is free time right now 🤷🏻‍♀️get over it

    • Ok well in that case, carry on girlfriend ! Have at it

    • ;) 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼

  • I imagine it varies. For some it might just be the "otherness". Sexuality is so central to some people's identity that someone with a different sexuality seems alien.

    But many men (including me) are completely fine with it.

  • some homophobic men are just in denial... and they're into men themselves but they're just pretending to be straight... which they hate, of course... and they project all that hate out of resentment


    • Yes this is also a common trend

    • yep... at least a couple of politicians, lawyers, activists and such high profile homophobes, they do get caught at some gay orgies, every year... it rarely fails, lol

  • Never had a 'fear' of gay men. Had gay men come in my office and hit on me occasionally and it was simple to just let 'em know..."I ain't' interested" I had gay friends in a complex I lived in for several years, and I knew the younger guy "liked me" but that did not influence me in any way, or cause me any anxiety or fear.

  • Perhaps some men may feel uncomfortable but I don't know you think some are actually afraid?

  • I don't think straight men are afraid of gay men at all.

  • No, gays don't pump and dump straight men.

  • No, also its not a phobia, a phobia is an irrational fear, this is disgust.

    It is the same as a person not wanting to take a bath in feces, and then someone saying that person has a phobia.

    Also, we want straight women to treat us the way we treat them.

  • I'm not homophobic so I can't answer.

  • Most straight men think gay men are like Jack from Will and Grace. In which is not the case. Well some could make a bonfire look like a paper match. I'm straight. About 20+yrs ago a couple of friends of mine (girls) took me to a gay bar. I didn't wanna go but drugged me in like a rag doll. Anyway, I was so nervous, I didn't know what to expect. The bartender came over said, "You're straight." I looked up, said yep. Told me not to worry they'll leave you alone just don't be rude. It was so true. Not a one tried to pick me up.

    So to all of us that are straight men, WE NEED TO GROW UP.

  • Thanks for description, I will be moving on now.

  • Maybe

  • I dont have a problem with LGTB members as long ad they dont harras me.

  • if you mean just being flirty for fun, i don't mind lol.

    If you mean the toxic masculinity part where im getting sexually harassed or touched inappropriately? no thanks.

    I am definitely straight but i still wouldn't mind a flirty gay guy... could be fun lol.

  • Where did this myth that straight men are afraid of gay men come from?

  • No, i think insecure straight men may fear they could be gay more than they fear people that are gay.

  • I am not afraid of gay people. I am not even homophobic. I am not disgusted by gay people. I am, and get this right: heterosexual. I am NOT interested in men. Simple as that.

  • I don't even understand your Q. 😂
