Calling all Straight Guys

[BlondeCanadian]

why dont you try being yourself and then see who your true friends are....

It isn't a matter of "tolerating" gay or bi guys.

A friend is a friend. What they do in the sack is their business.
If they want to talk about it, then we do.

I am also from a small town and came out when i was 18. I didnt have alot of friends in highschool but when i came out I made alot including a couple straight guy friends. i wasnt real close with these guys before i came out and they are not homophobic. But the couple of homophobic guys I do know all but one of them has said after meeting me they are pretty over it.. They just didnt understand it and upon meeting me and I guess considering me normal and me not hitting on them they changed their minds. Like i said just be yourself dont try to hide anything and dont hit on them and you should be fine... if not find better friends you will find people tend to like you more if you are being genuine and open about yourself

Well, like many other things, I think the issue of your sexuality might be a make or break issue with your friends.
But then I have to ask the question: If someone no longer wants to hang with you because you like guys (or guys and girls) doesn't that say far more about them than you ?
Do you really want or need people in your life that are so closed-minded ??

I've always known I was gay, so there was never that issue of 'revealing' to friends, etc. -- and I imagine it puts you in a really tricky position, but this is one of those things that will tell you who your friends really are.

The others don't really deserve your friendship -- wouldn't you agree?

And, just for the record, I really dislike when people talk about being 'tolerated' -- you tolerate something that you essentially abhor and don't want to be around.
Your true friends won't 'tolerate' you -- they will continue to like you for who you are and appreciate your honesty.

Someones sexual preference has nothing to do with my friendship with them. It's only how they treat me that matters.

There aren't any real straight guys here to answer your question.

nigga,

you can have friends if your fun, cool, not broke and don't laugh at your own jokes.

a lot of fools just need to grow up out of how their dumb ass parents raised them.

my mother was dying of aids in the late 80s & early 90s when i was kid, and she had an aids meeting group that was mostly gay dudes.

i've had gay babysitters and father figures in my life since i was 4 years old

but, i'm not naive to the existence of corny ass dudes that need to validate themselves by crying out that they hate gay niggas, but fuck them, because most of those fools don't hate gay people anyway,

they are actually "homophobic" in the literal sense that they are afraid that if they are open minded that people around them will think they are gay. OH NO!!!.

it's 2010 and our species needs to be past that shit by now.

and you, young man, just need to make friends in general. but don't force it, that's how you end up just hanging out with people trying to force a friendship instead of just letting it develop naturally.

It would seem that few straight guys have graced this thread, but nonetheless I've been given great insight from many here. Looking past sexual orientation, I shouldn't have set a standard to begin with.

I'm under great dilemma. Having been here in Northern Ky for four months now, the topic of being bi never came up around my coworkers. I had a few friends, most females, an the guys were strictly straight. I speak in past tense causd I was laid off... So here I am starting fresh, living off my savings, an ready to be more open. How to do that, idk. I've never laid foot in a gay bar or club. Dunno where to go to. Lol

I'm not some innocent fawn, yet why do I feel like I'm completely outta the loop of life.
Been trying to get my closest gal pal to go to Pink Pyramid (club in my area), but her gay cousin was bashed coming out of a club and killed. She's scared something will happen to either of us.
I think I've left topic. Still wanting friends, no matter there fancy, as long as they accept muah for muah.

i don't know how old you are, but the post i'm reading says young.

and if you're under the age of 25 and unemployed you should feel a little funky about life in general.

and there's no need to go to specific place to "be gay", just go out and do life. go to the library, go to the lake, (if there is one)

if you live apt's or house, go knock on your neighbors door at a decent hour and indroduce yourself, or if you catch them out washing the car or mowing the lawn, just talk to people.

and if your even in orlando, hit me up, we can smoke a joint and go trip kids at the skating rink.

yes, i can tell my kids.

well, enjoy the libido while it lasts,

it's just as disloyal as our so called friend metabolism.
