Thank you for the good and interesting continued feedback,
Guys!
Counterspade, in my case, I’m talking about gay social groups that are non-bar, non-nightclub, non-bathhouse related. I’m talking about social events at various gay organizations and groups in the gay community . . . were guys become a fixture of these groups and organizations, by going to their events for years and pretty much everybody knows everybody . . . yet it is the new guys that come to these events that are on the prowl. Yet I have heard that some gay men have the same problem with women, if women don’t know that a guy is gay (and these women keep hitting on them) . . . yet I do know that some women still chase after gay men and tell them stuff like “Maybe you just have not met the right woman, give me a try, etc. etc. etc.”
LOL!!!
Seasoned, I think that most guys in my situation use the “boyfriend/partner” card, because
usually most “husband hunters” react to those 2 labels like a “cross” to a vampire . . . and normally these guys will move along. I think that most partnered guys play the “boyfriend/partner” card as a way to politely stop a “perceived” “husband hunter” in his tracks . . . yet one (the hunted) has to be careful, because sometimes these aggressive and arrogant type men can take offense if you cut them off by saying something like “I’m not interested” . . . and they will hit you back with something like “How dare you think that I’m trying to pick you up or that I’m cruising you!”. . . then they hit you with something to try to break your self esteem . . . by saying “Your not even that good looking” or “I don't want you, get over yourself!”. I’m pretty good at spotting these “husband hunters”, yet interactions with these type of guys can go seriously wrong and get nasty quick! So in my case, I’m trying to figure out what is the next best thing to “politely” do, when playing the boyfriend/partner card does not work. Yet based on the good advice I received earlier on in this post, I’m looking forward to trying some of those ideas and suggestions out, the next time I’m standing face-to-face with another “husband hunter” that is trying to make a move on me. Again, the reason why I don't want to be rude or add to this unpleasant encounter is because, since this is my social circle, I don't want jerks like this to make it uncomfortable for me, while they remain a guest in the social circle. 99% of the time, these guys will leave the social circle sooner or later, so my problem goes away, yet some of these "husband hunters" can linger around for a long while.

These are the type of guys I wish would stay online and stop coming out in public to exclusively bag a boyfriend or partner.
