It has to do with living in close proximity to those of the same sex who may find you sexually desirable. That would be something I wouldn't want to even know about.
I would not fully trust that guy to not act on his attraction.Why wouldn't you want to know about it?
I would not fully trust that guy to not act on his attraction.
If it's a guy, I would rather just assume he's not attracted to me, if it's a woman, I would rather assume that she is.What does you knowing he is gay have to do with him acting on his attraction?
Aren't you afraid that everyone might act on their attraction since you would rather not know?

No, but I have approached women with the hopes of developing a meaning relationship founded on mutual respect.Have you ever hit on a woman before?
That would be easier if all women were Rosie O'Donnell.Even Rosie O'Donnel? :lol:
You can assume a gay guy is not attracted to you. I got married so now I assume that all women are not attracted to me. That's how I eliminate temptation. I don't play the dangerous, "I wonder if I could..." game.

Never crossed my mind. J/k, of course it occurred to me, but I had to try. In the case of a guy, I don't even want him trying.And when you approached this woman with the hopes of developing a meaning[ful] relationship founded on mutual respect, did it ever occur to you that there might be a chance that she wasn't interested in talking to you?

So the problem is that you are afraid to say "no thank you"? Or is the problem irrational fear?
By the way, did it ever occur to you that gays might not find you attractive?
LOL.....I love the straight guys that think that gay guys would be interested in them. Have they ever been to West Hollywood...San Fran....Greenwich Village....etc?
Gay Guys generally have enough better looking guys to choose from.
No, it would be a double standard if I was bothered by women hitting on men. If I went to a lesbian pride rally and hit on a woman, would it be a double standard for her to be bothered by me hitting on her since, presumably, she's okay with being hit on by women?And you don't see a double standard there? Why do women have to put up with beinghit onapproached in order to establish a meaningful relationship but men don't?
I don't know that "no thank you" is all I'd say.So the problem is that you are afraid to say "no thank you"?
Fear? I don't think that's it, but I'll be honest and admit for me, there's a definite ick factor. I just don't want gay guys hitting on me.Or is the problem irrational fear?
That's want I want to believe and I wouldn't want to be dispelled of that belief.By the way, did it ever occur to you that gays might not find you attractive?

That depends too. There are various subcultures within gays. Some are not the pretty boy West Hollywood gays, just as most lesbians are not lipstick lesbians.
No I'm not. I promise never to hit on another guy.Funny how you try and hedge your bet with the lesbian rally scenario.
It's a double standard, dude. People don't have this automatic sense that the person they're about to hit on wants to be hit on. You're applying a different standard to yourself than to others.
Okay, maybe so, but I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I bet I'm not even in the minority so, when talking about DADT and the military, we have to deal in what is, and not what you think should be.So the problem is not gays, the problem is with you.
You can thank me later for that line IT.

Humanity would die out in short order...That would be easier if all women were Rosie O'Donnell.
