“If we’re complementing you, it’s not a marriage proposal or offer of sex. It’s just a compliment, and take it as a great one, because odds are it’s about a quality character trait or [because] you’re dressed far better or look more attractive than other straight guys.”
“That gay sex is actually badass.”
“I am staying in room 406 at the Holiday Inn just next to the airport. Door’s unlocked. I have to check out at 10 a.m. Friday.”
“I genuinely appreciate the male-to-male friendship from those that aren’t too ‘afraid’ to be friends with a gay dude.”
“It’s a great question. [I have] been married 20 years, [have] three teens in high school, had a tech firm and now a design build firm. Husband is a writer but loves classic cars and gardening. We both work out. My hobbies are upholstery and furniture, woodworking… And yet, every time we meet the parents of our kids’ friends or straight couples in our neighborhood at dinner parties, the husbands stay quietly in their corner while their wives eagerly flock around us. I don’t know if it’s ‘we have nothing in common’ stereotyping that keeps the men away, or if they are worried we won’t be able to control ourselves around their penises. Over the years, we have made great friendships with a few of the husbands. We really appreciate straight men who are so comfortable in their own sexuality that we are just guys to them. More of this please.”
