Men who go out of their way to let you know they’re straight

Well I love the birds and get erections when I have to do a sex scene with one.

I really, really like women. Just so you know.

Stop accusing me of being gay!

Because we can.

R1 r2 r3

No straight men ever felt the need to do this to me.

I adore a virile, heterosexual man!

I'm not a fag like you guys!

"I don't know if you've ever met my wife?", two minutes after you've been introduced for the first time, purses falling from his mouth to signify his fragile sense of masculinity

Thanks for letting me know but I wasn’t at all attracted to you.

IDGAF if people think I’m gay

I am NOT a homasexshul! I dated a woman once and it didn't work out!

I work in a University OP, and the number of profs who have done this to me. I put it down to my own politeness, as they think I'd be interested in something that crawled out from under a rock. I instantly disrespect a man that does this on a personal level. I've often wondered about what makes these men do it instinctively too. Interesting thread.

R13 I don’t necessary disrespect a man who does it, but I do think it reveals a deep insecurity.

I can control myself. I’m not going to instantly grab your dick if you don’t immediately let me know that you’re straight.

It’s definitely odd. One of the guys who always used to drop this into conversations with me, I actually did flirt with. He was an adorable nerd, not conventionally hot. I could tell he had been the ugly duckling all his life, and he probably had no idea how to handle being an object of desire. I think he was probably flattered on some level by my interest and wanted to let me down gently since he’d probably been turned down by women all his life. But I also think it may have been defensive in some way. Because he had been turned down so much, there was a part of him that was curious, and he knew he’d be tempted to accept if I ever made a move. Of course, I knew him professionally and I never would have. The fact that he kept doing this in every conversation we had added a special layer of sexual tension that I think we were both aware of. I think he really was mostly straight, but could have been convinced.

It’s because they have small dicks.

Go to Italy where every single heterosexual is hanging onto their partner like they were going down on the Titanic.

R16 It is because their ancestors were all homos.

They do it because they think a lot of themselves and are stupid enough to think that just because you're gay you must automatically be into them. It has happened to me a few times and it pisses me off because I had zero interest in them every time.

Hmmm I don't agree R18. Men who are really into themselves love it when gay dudes are into them.

walking through weho, you see straight couples and they're often holding hands. I call it the West Hollywood Death Grip because the guy hangs on to the woman for dear life.

Stop calling me gay! My beautiful wife, Deb, hates it!

I am not a homosexual.

If you insist on calling me gay, I'll sue you for $100 million. Watch out, erotic wrestlers! I'm coming for you

I find the men to be okay about it- it's the straight women who are all, well, you KNOW he's straight, REALLY straight. like I wouldn't know or something

R9 do you think that is an attempt to flirt with another man?

I remember a baffled straight guy sharing his story on twitter that he had been flirted by another guy for the first time, and that for the first 30 minutes of talking the guy (whom he thought was also str8) didn't stop mentioning his wife and kids haha.

Guys from the apps who say that they are straight and not into men, but then get rock solid boners and want you to play with their booty. I love those guys.

"Men who go out of their way to let you know they’re straight"

They do it so you'll stop anally raping them with your toxic male gaze.

[quote]No straight men ever felt the need to do this to me.

Just refer to them as "Mary" as many times possible.

Bump

They do this, OP.

When they do that, I always respond, "I know you're straight. No one else believes it, but I do."

You answered your own question, OP

Did you catch my wedding parade through the streets of Venice with paparazzi invited and spectators welcome?

HAHAHAHAHA R32

Something similar happened once when a guy I was chatting with said, “We live in” such and such place.

I wasn’t sure if he was indicating he was part of a couple, or royalty.

r15, you have a point. My response would be, "oh, sorry if it seemed like I was flirting. I'm only into hung men."

Does my butt look sexy in this?

Wait, what was the question?

R37 They're either insulted or they show it to you to prove you wrong. Win/win.

When I mentioned my husband once to a straight guy at a party, he grimaced and said “oh just so you know, I don’t go that way.”

He was really ugly too. His face looked like a baboon’s ass.

It’s fascinating to me that het guys immediately think you’re going to hit on them…especially the fugly ones.

I really wanted to point out to this guy that he was a complete bowzer but I didn’t have the heart to go through with it.

^I've even had ugly fatties say the same. I always replied "I didn't assume you did." I've told this interesting story before too. I once had a hot guy at an airport bar who started chatting me up watching a football game. I'm a fan so I can talk like a straight about some sports. When it finally came up in conversation I mentioned I was gay and he gave me the ole "I don't have anything against it, but I'm not gay." I used the line "I didn't assume you were don't worry about it." Then when I kinda didn't give full attention he started trying even harder and I got the idea he a was disappointed I wasn't more interested. It was very odd. I don't really believe he was gay but I think some straights get insecure that we don't want to fuck their brains out, hot to not.

I was (and still am but not as bad) a femme queen ,and Ive had that happen so many times with straight men I dont even notice it anymore. I mentioned this once to my mother,and she scoffed until we had a series of work done to our house and she noticed that within 2 minutes of my talking to them they alwyas mentioned their wives or girlfriends. She told me later on "You're right,thats so odd" I didnt have the heart to tell her its because they were afraid I wanted their dicks.

When I was in college I asked this cute blond guy out for coffee. He knew I was gay and told me he was straight but was willing to learn more about being gay.

For, with, on, whatever...

What's really bad is when they keep mentioning their wife, but they don't really have one.

I’m seeing one I know who does this later this week. I kind of hope he does it again, tbh. It’s so fantastically weird that I get a little thrill out of it.

Straight men are exhausting.

It's happened so many times, I can't count.

There's an entire generation of "actors" in their twenties in New York and LA raised on the promise of reality show fame who only want to play roles like themselves, are very vocal about refusing to ever portray a gay character

*notices a guy looking in their direction just to orient himself but assumes it's about him as all straight men do and immediately grabs girlfriend's hand*

When guys go out of their way to prove they are straight it causes me to think they may be a wavering on their sexuality.

It's because they have nothing else that defines them, R50, so they wear their heterosexuality like some kind of badge of honour. It's like people who have the stick figure families on their car. Nothing else that defines them so they make it all about their family. They are under the impression that straight means superior. It's like the white supremacist movement of sexuality.

I tell them I have standards, that shatters their flaccid egos.

My wife and I have a lot of gay friends.

I told my wife the other day that I had a crush on Stockard Channing.

I love it when this happens because I then know who the power bottom is.

The best retort is don’t worry, you aren’t even close to making the list anyway.

He didn’t do it this time, but we locked eyes a few time and it got sexually charged. I didn’t get a boner but my dick definitely twitched.

I must make my boundaries clear to homosexuals as they all desire me madly.

Exhausting, and boring. Who cares?

[quote] I don't really believe he was gay but I think some straights get insecure that we don't want to fuck their brains out, hot to not.

I had a friend like that. I told him I was bi but not to worry I wasn't interested in him, like that. He seemed hurt. He was the sort of guy who would walk into a room full of girls and walkout with at least one of them and the phone numbers for the rest. He couldn't believe the fact that I could be attracted to guys but not him.

R58 how did you get a photo of me from before I quit drinking?

Interesting thread.

I think (in a more macro way) that some guys are like this about lots of things - there's a whole group of guys who seem to define themselves by who or what they have rejected. As if that's supposed to impress people in any way.

Bump

I mention my husband often in starter conversation, but only because I live in his native country not my own.

Otherwise it's sometimes a long time learning if some friends and acquaintances are gay or straight or some of each. Very few people make a big fuss about the subject, and usually introduce it only when in passing when useful to the conversation. Most groups of friends have a mix of straights and gays, even groups of older people will have gay family members or friends and it's considered a given rather than an exception.

Bump

R60 u sure u were being honest with yourself?

I have one friend in particular who does this all the time when he is drunk. He starts with the whole "I'm not gay thing." I usually don't assume guys are, but he does it so much I'm almost convinced that he is. He will be the one to bring it up constantly. The type that says, "my life would be so much easier if I were into guys," type. I am not remotely attracted to him and I think he insists on the conversation because I don't really pay attention to it. If I was attracted to him, I am doublely sure I could have had him by now.

I get straight guys telling me they've got some weight to lose, need to start going to the gym again, etc. Are they wondering if that's why I haven't propositioned them yet?

It would be funny to let your mouth drop open and say, “You’re NOT gay?? You SEEM gay!!”

R24 When a friend gets married and you never hear from him again you know it's because the wife said something.

I’d feign extreme shock and unspoken disbelief.

“Whaaaaaaat?”

You’re kidding me.

No way.

"Wow, thanks for telling me. .. And here, I was imaging you had the words FUCK ME! tattooed on your butt cheeks."

R67, your friend obviously knows that you're a homo.

Yes, R73. That is a given. At least I thought it was a given.

Bump

I think it's an ego thing. Occasionally a man will let me know he's straight, just in case I was 'into' him. But I also don't need to go out of my way to tell them I'm gay.
