Is it wrong that I prefer the company of straight dudes?

First off, I'm not talking about sex. I just mean friendly conversation and the odd meeting or two (I say odd because I am a notorious recluse).

Anyway, I just like the way most straight dudes (the ones I've met and known) minds work. They tend to be totally literal and direct, and really like it when they've found a captive audience. I'm very good at just keeping my mouth shut and listening. In fact, I'm totally comfortable with that.

When I'm around other queers (sorry, but I really don't like the G word), it just seems lots more superficial, and I especially dislike the way many gay dudes will discount somebody for being either too old or fat (which is anyone over the age of 30 -- or some poor soul that has gained more than 10 extra pounds). This just seems so crazy to me?

I have always been on the thin side, but I have not seen 30 years for more than a decade. Straight dudes don't seem to care. They just seem to like to talk to me. And I like that fact. Big time. Is this wrong?

I've read threads on here where straight women say gay dudes are more fun to hang out with than straight dudes. This puzzles me big time. I rather hang out with a straight dude. It's invariably a lot more interesting. And it has nothing whatsoever to do with sex. :2thumbsup:

No.

Many females prefer the company of gay men (sorry I don't like the Q word).

I prefer my own company.

 

its better than have crooked people around, I suppose..

 

I think, maybe it's the same with the girls and gay guy friends, as you with the straight guy friends.

When you're hanging out, it's hang out time and you can relax more when you aren't hanging out with those you consider in the group with dating material.

Hope that made sense. It's late. I'm tired, lol.

Plus, people are drawn to hang out with others for lots of reasons. Some people like to hang out with senior citizens because they are comforting, funny, and usually wise.

 

Same Here, I'm Not Queer In Any Way, And Never Have Been, In My

Opinion, Queers Are Effeminate Little Boi/Gurls With Painted Fingernails,

And Talk With A Lisp...

I Consider Myself, "A Gay And Proud Man"...:2thumbsup:

It's the word rather than a particular meaning, imho.

It can be funny sometimes, though

I like the q word I think it explains me the best because It means strange and well ds is strange no?

 

But why? That's the part I don't get. Even when I used to go to gay bars during my prime (21), I always liked the straight bars better. People actually talk at such places.

P.S. I'd love to get the scoop from a brave female or two. Pretty please? :2thumbsup:

 

I like to hang out with all kinds of people for different reasons depending on the mood I'm in. It seems to me u like to get to know people in a less sexual predatory way that u would get from a gay bar where everyone is either looking to hook up or dance the night away not such a great place to talk about w/e

 

That's what I tried to say.

 

Yeah lol great minds and all

 

LOL. + rep coming soon. :2thumbsup:

The general consensus seems to be:

G men don't want to get into their knickers.
G men are more in-tune with women/share the same interests/and mindset.

It's probably a cliche...that some G men live upto.

 

Lol so true

 

It did. Big time. :sunny: Maybe there's something to be said about hanging out with folks without sexual pressure? I gotta say I really like the idea.

QP

 

Right on. In addition to meaning strange -- the Q word means different, odd, not ordinary, etc. All positive traits (IMO). I'm comfortable with that. The G word has come to mean not cool, something negative, something to mock and avoid. Hell, even before the recent rape of the word -- it was often used to describe somebody a bit light in their loafers. What the hell does that even mean? I never wore loafers. I was just queer. And never ashamed.

QP

 

It is. And even if the cliche really was a reality -- why would anyone want to only hang out with folks exactly like themselves? I like to learn about different perspectives. That's what interests me the most about people. The rest is too close to narcissism for comfort (IMO). That's what your bathroom mirror is for.

QP

 

Personally, I don't mind being in conflict with people, but not continually.
Nobody is exactly alike, so you'll generally get other opinions/perspectives.
It would be a little perverse to seek out people that were completely opposite to you, imho.

 

The only people I have ever felt comfortable being around, have been old people. The first job I had after leaving school, was making food for old people. And I remember every lunch time, rather than eating with the people my own age who I "worked" with (I put the word worked in quotes, as most of the people I worked with, didn't really do any work at all. lol), I always sat with the old people and had my lunch with them. I've never felt comfortable being around younger members of either sex. Though that workplace probably wasn't such a great a example, as my "workmates" were all ill mannered yobbos. lol But it is still true that I don't like being around younger people of either sex, which is why I've been a hermit since my mid-teens.
