What's it like to be straight?

why would you move this thread to the gay forum? wouldn't this forum be the least likely to be able to answer the question?

 

Actually, I think it would be really cool to have a lesbian friend who was comfortable with friendly touching.

I spose I'd draw the line at anything sexual (unless, of course, I/we wanted something sexual). Like holding my hand doesn't mean we are going to kiss kinda thing.

As long as there's a mutual understanding, it's nice to have friends that are comfortable with touching.

I've had girlfriends that were very comfortable touching and we could cuddle up on the couch.

And I've had girlfriends that were very homophobic and didn't even like going out just the 2 of us because ppl might think we were a couple. In their defense, I'm a little butch (no makeup or 'hairdo' wearing athletic clothing) and I also kinda think it looks like we're on a date when I go out with a girl.

 

Kind of hard to answer this since it will change from person to person. Your best bet for finding this out is to ask your friend.

Yeah really, her questions were obviously aimed at getting the opinions of straight people.

Might seem that way at first.

But it always works in two directions. Up near 100% gay also means down near 0% straight.

So the butch masculine girls, more likely to join in a game of touch footy, work in a trade and sit around in her overalls and workboots drinking a few beers with the guys after a hard days work, more likely to hear how they really talk when there arent any hot girls around the guys have to impress.

So ironically in that way end up working out more about straight guys than most straight girls do.

This indirect stuff doesnt register with you guys cos you dont really pay attention to the non hot ones. But you kind of should, especially when it comes to marriage.

10 years into a sexless marriage, wondering whats going on, only to eventually find out she's been playing rock, paper, scissors without the rock or paper with some special friend - a situation that may have been avoided with a single dinner with an Ellen type all those years ago that left you wondering why she made you girlfriend so bitchy



Cross to the other gender, the girls will do that "Pffft, whats a gay guy know about girls" thing a lot, like somehow magically its impossible to understand the angry beaver unless you are looking directly at it.

 

whats it like being gay?

 

Awesome!

 

There's as much variation as with gay or bi or any people. Some girls hold hands, but I never really have done. That's probably because I have mostly male friends. I hug female friends, and male ones. Some straight women talk about sex and men often, and some are very private. Basically, we're people

 

the world is full of surprise,but is also beautiful.

 

Doesn't really matter whether they're straight, gay, or whatever. You should look more into the culture they're living in and accepting. That will determine whether they have the stereotypical/differing answer you're looking for. In other words, sexual orientation generally isn't the factor at play.

 

my straight friends and I act like lesbians. We smack each other on the ass, tell each other we're beautiful, nuzzle up on each other, stare at each others' boobies when we show off cleavage, make out when we get drunk....the usual.

 

Being straight is no different to being gay, other than being attracted to the opposite sex rather than the same sex.

I do think being straight is easier than being gay, but that's only because of the society we live in. Nothing to do with the sexual orientation itself...

 

and second, third, forth, fifth

infinity

in reality it is really dumb moving the thread here.

 

especially me. I get a thrill like no other when people think I'm gay.
