How many straight male friends do you have? And do you always feel comfortable if you meet a new group of people where there are straight guys?

[Cal.]

I only have a couple of straight male friends. 3 to be exact that I’d class as a ‘friend’. And all of them I’ve only met through serving them at work and them being regulars lmao. I’m not particularly comfortable nor uncomfortable around straight guys they’re just the same as any other stranger you meet imo.

Daniel-X is one of the strangest cases I’ve ever come across mind. So gay he might as well be a girl but has a whole group of straight lad mates who he mostly prefers to the girlies!

So I’m guessing you have a majority of female friends? So is that through choice or coincidence?

Yeah about 90% are female lmao. I think a bit of both. I just get on with and have more in common with females and other gays.

[Oliver_W]

Most of my friends are straight guys tbh

[Liam-]

I’ve always had a decent mixture of female and male friends but my male friends have always been straight and I’ve always been comfortable with that tbh

[Twosugars]

Have lots of straight friends. No problems apart from occasional teasing.
Homophobes don't get to be my friends obvs.

What do you mean? Uncomfortable bc of potential homophobia or that you try to be discrete checking them out?

Yeah the potential homophobia

I had straight friends in high school (but I went to an all boys school so didn’t have much chance) and after I left I didn’t really keep in contact with any of them.

My first couple of jobs in retail it was 90% female staff and it’s only in the past year where it’s been an even balance of men and women, I think cause I’ve been around women for so long now, it’s almost like I’m used to not being around men fnnfnfb

I temped in a very macho office for a few years and it was hard work at times. But in the end rewarding. Tried answering all the questions which were many. Some were standoffish but majority wasn't hostile, just wanted to crack a joke sometimes. As I say, it was rewarding bc I was able to, erm, put them straight about gay stuff.

I think if i got homophobic abuse from a woman I could take it bc I’d just turn round and say her hair and contouring was ****, or smn like that, but don’t think that’s gonna work on a man

Thinking about work, there’s only one guy whose given me an issue or made comments that have been sly digs and I guess that’s just what I expect from every guy

There's always one **** like that everywhere.
I think we are lucky bc it's getting better. Gays in the media help and straight men have realized we're not a threat to them. You've seen yourself with the rugby guys. I think this is becoming a new norm.

[Cal.]

I don’t even get along with the straights on here besides Marsh and Marc and both of them might as well be part of the girlies!

A scary prospect, 5 years since hearing about Germ's sugar daddies on call

[Smithy]

I think I’m asking cuz I met a couple of straight (rugby ) guys at the gym and I was just really surprised at how nice they were

[Elliot]

I mostly get on with ppl with similar interests and sense of humour, who tend to be female or slightly feminine guys. My best best friend is a straight white guy tho, has mostly straight white guy friends and not many similar traits other than love for video games.

[Daniel.]

Got thre straight male friends who put up with me talking about my latests stories all the time, not uncomfortable at all. One did come out with me to a gay club and had to leave tho lol

[Ant.]

I used to be best friends with a hetty but he's an awful person so we don't talk now!

so I'm down to one straight male friend
