Lesbian/Straight men friendships

Where did this ugly Pixar looking blonde guy come from? He’s everywhere on Twitter.

He looks like a Pixar version of the husband from 101 Dalmatians but more retarded looking.

Who cares. Both are assholes towards gay men.

BAN OP.

The only one I ever wanted to be friends with shot me down. I think there are political angles here for some people.

When I was in my 30s there was a stereotype in my social circle, where some gay guys would suddenly out of the blue have lesbians turn up and become their very best friends, who would then after a certain point raise the issue of a sperm donation. In those instances where the guys thought this would be a good idea and that they'd be great co-parents because they'd become such great friends, a child resulted. Without fail after that, the lesbians friendliness cooled to below zero and they then moved away - with the baby.

They both love to talk about pussy! That's what they have in common!

R5 just described most straight marriages too.

Sorry but R5 really sounds like an EST...

Like this happened more than twice in your own small friendship circle? Gtfo no it didn't lol

Lesbians love straight boys so long as they're stupid and submissive.

R1 lmao that's Paddy Pimblett, rising star UFC fighter from the British city of Liverpool. He just won a few big-money fights back-to-back, probably why you're hearing his name a lot. The girl with him in the OP clip is Molly McCann, another UFC fighter from Liverpool who has come through the ranks alongside him.

I'm a lesbian whose best friend of 20+ years is a straight man. He is not a stereotypical dudebro straight guy; he has many gay and lesbian friends and is sometimes mistaken for gay himself. I'm more likely to share marital woes with him than another lesbian because he's better at cutting through the bullshit and zeroing right in on the problem. But there can also be a darker side to that and I can sense his frustration sometimes when he can't easily fix things for the people he cares most about.

R12 you are the only woman I've known who wanted to "cut through the bullshit". Fairly certain that griping about feelings is supposed to be the whole point??

R13 there's many lesbians who prefer not to beat around the bush or endlessly chat about emotional problems.

Like, I don't mind the occasional dive into feelings, but tbh I rarely go to my Mom or certain straight female friends with emotional issues or questions anymore, because I know if I do I'll be there all fucking night into the next morning talking around the problem, and it will end up being more about *her* problems.

My straight sister is still pretty cool to talk to, but she's a ladette and very pragmatic as well as being sensitive in the female way, so she's a good middleground.

R13, between my wife and other female friends and relatives, I already spend a lot of time analyzing feelings. Sometimes you just want someone to say "Yeah, that sucks" or "Here's what you're doing wrong."

And it's not like my male friends (gay or straight) aren't emotionally astute. I wouldn't want personal advice from someone who isn't. It's about different ways of approaching problems and different styles of communication.

R9: Every single person who has a decently sized gay social circle knows at least one instance of the situation described at R5, usually more.

Am becoming friends with my BIL (the guy engaged to my sister). We’re from very different cultural backgrounds, and being a protective big sis I didn’t let him in easily, but after a few years we’ve found some common intellectual ground at least. He’s good for debates and discussions about philosophy and world issues over a joint or a beer. We watch soccer together too.
