Do you feel gayer after being spurned by the opposite sex?

First of all, I consider myself straight with occasional bi tendencies, for what it's worth.

So recently I've dealt with rejection from a woman, no I don't want any pity, it's a requisite part of growing up I think.

But I've noticed that after being rejected or even THINKING about being rejected, is when I find the prospect of possibly getting with a guy all the more enticing... has anyone else experienced this?

Also, has being hurt by someone of the same sex made you turn toward the opposite?

 

No, I haven't felt this.

I'm comfortably gay without any bi tendencies, so rejection from men doesn't make me want a woman. If anything, it makes me want a different man.

 

This is a pretty interesting question. I'm uncertain of my orientation, I have strong feelings towards both sexes, but I never thought of my attractions as being influenced by being spurned. Now that I think about it though, there have been times when I tell myself that I didn't get that girl because I'm too gay, or that I didn't get that guy because I'm too straight. Hmm..

 

I have never been spurned by the opposite sex and I'm still gay.
I've been spurned plenty of times by my own sex and I'm still gay.

 

Yes, quite often if I strike out with women I would head for the gay bath house...where I would feel more appreciated. It actually makes the gay sex more enjoyable for some reason. :&

 

I'm gay. But if I hit on a butch jockey type of guy and get turned down, then all of a sudden all the girly boys start looking real sexy.
