The straight relationship that never moves forward
Ah! Spring is here and Summer is on its way. The trees are blooming, the birds are chirping and the bees are buzzing. With warm weather and pool parties, summer also ushers in a sense of love and playfulness.
Walking down the street you see a boy and girl holding hands, eating ice cream. Then you spot her boyfriend shooting your best friend a wink and the taken boy mouths "you're cute." So, he's a creep for flirting while his girlfriend is inches away, but he's flirting with your best friend who's a guy.
Ewww. Sounds like something out of a queer teen fantasy novel for readers between the age of 14 and 18! It's actually a reality.
I love to pull from my own experiences, and this is one experience that I have encountered a thousand times and still encounter it daily. For some reason straight boys like to flirt with me. Ok so you might be thinking, "Well, they just must be closet gays, because straight guys don't flirt with gay guys." You actually couldn't be more wrong.
I work with a bunch of guys. I'm going to call out four in particular who are in the United States Marine Corp. These Marines are straight. I've tried to convince myself, and them, that they should be and need to be gay, but as I spend more and more time with them I know they are truly straight. But why do they continue to flirt with me every day? And of course as a gay man I'm trying to figure it out myself as to why this ultra hot guy keeps giving me the eye but then proceeds to tell me about how he really likes this girl he met at Steak n' Shake.
How can a Marine get drunk at a party, strip down to his mesh thong and then pull me to him and make out with me? Oh wow, maybe that was way too much information, but that's just an example of what happens.
These guys love every second of it too. They know exactly what they are doing to us, pulling our emotions and hormones on a short little leash until they get us just close enough to kick us. And as we keep soaking up the attention, and we do because conquering a straight man is like our Holy Grail. We just confuse ourselves more and more.
It's hilarious because they know exactly how to play the game. And we thought we were smart! Just a quick brush on the arm or a half smile when they tell us that we smell really good today just makes us go ga-ga! And just like our flimsy wrists, our knees give way and we start drooling over the boy we can't have, not because we aren't good enough, but because he is, truthfully and in all honesty, 100 percent straight.
And as if we need anything more to make our lives more confusing, why do we, as gay guys, continue to be frustrated and give into the smooth operating of these straight boys? We love attention. But more than that, we love what we can't have. It's like that Gucci suit you see in Chicago that you really want, but you're just 200 dollars too short to buy it. Ok, that straight man is the same. He is there in the window, glowing with beauty and you almost have what it takes to get it, but not quite.
Masculinity. It turns us on. Most of us, hence why we are gay and usually tend to side with feminism, love the boys who are masculine because we lack it. It's so taboo for a straight guy to mess around with a gay guy. We want to conquer that masculinity and since we love going against anything taboo in society we want it. We want it bad.
As much as we want that really hot guy who has his tongue down his girlfriend's throat, but is winking at you while he does it to be gay, he's not. But he knows he's got us wrapped around his pinkie finger. Don't be confused, because he's not. He's straight and he's not up for grabs, at least not by anyone batting for my team.

Who is this? Who left this comment? Could you post your name?
They won't post their name... But that's okay. People are going to believe what they want to believe... There are people walking around that believe man has not walked on the moon. That AIDS is a manufactured agent. The list goes on.
It's no surprise that they would believe that people choose to be gay...while they miraculously are exempted from the issue of choice of sexuality.
However, I will give you one tip in your quest to enlighten the general populous about sexuality...
Stories like this(While true)do more to confuse the general straight population than to educate.
1. You say that sexuality is immutable and predetermined(This is true).
2. But then you give an example of straight men actually CHOOSING to conscienciously(sp.) act in a homosexual manner(Also true).
Do you see how that could be a little CONFUSING?
I PERSONALLY understand what you're saying. But to most straight people...I bet you're coming across as a confused hypocrit(sp). Not only that you're fueling their secret fear that gay men want to seduce their good little son away from a heterosexual, nuclear family making existence...
unfortunately that person will never post their name. in which case their opinion is completly meaningless.
i bet you dollars to doughnuts though its the bigoted mother of one of your old friends whose freaked out now that her son had a gay friend, shes now worrying about her sons sexuality too i bet
