Do you guys really believe gay men and straight men can be friends?

OrionTheWolf · 2019-04-03T22:02:22+00:00

I’m straight and have a gay friend who’s like a brother to me

HesperianDragon · 2019-04-03T22:05:22+00:00

Yeah. I think men and women can be friends too (despite the MGTOW)

Friend = you have the same interests I do

IDGAF what you do in the bedroom and who with, if you want to be nice to me and give me some attention in this cruel world I'll give some back.

Speaking as somebody who deeply hated school, school is shit, don't base your life around what happened at school because it is not representative of the wider experience of living your life generally. They are very often shithole bubble communities filled with certain types of cunts you'd never want to hang around with by choice.

As for the other places move out of the area and find somewhere else to live really is all I can say.

Pyromed · 2019-04-03T22:53:49+00:00

I have gay friends. It hardly comes up, honestly. No one cares.

You sound young, am I right? If so, understand highschool and lower is not representative of the real world.

mgtowolf · 2019-04-04T03:35:40+00:00

I am straight, and judging by the responses you made in this thread, I wouldn't want you in my circle either. And it aint because you are gay, you got a shit attitude. Also, why do you think it's straight men's job to protect gay men?

phobosthewicked · 2019-04-03T23:12:28+00:00

I think you had bad experiences, but there are a lot of amazing straight guys out there that support us and accept us. Most of my friends are actually straight guys, and my life would be so sad without them

furchfur · 2019-04-03T22:23:23+00:00

Absolutely. Definitely. I am married (to a woman) and have children but have some really good gay male friends. Do not have an issue at all. I am surpised at the question.

As always, it depends on the people involved. I've been friends with women who've had crushes on me and on who've I've had crushes. I've never led on a woman who's liked me nor have I ever used her desire to get her to do things for me. I've never had a female friend do that to me either, but there have been other women who weren't my friends.

There's a gay guy I know from work. He's a good guy. We don't hang out, but I saw him at a comic con and found out he likes scifi so maybe in the future. When I'm using the urinal and he comes in, He doesn't use the empty one next to me. He uses a stall. I'd like to think that I had irrestistable "equipment", but another gay guy I've spoken to tells me he's probably being respectful or kind and doesn't want me to feel akward. I've never asked him to or brought up his homosexuality. It's never been an issue for me.

I wouldn't have a problem being friends with him. The only condition I have is that someone be a decent human being and not an a**hole. You'd be surprised how well that works.

FranksThePlatinumGod · 2019-04-03T22:08:23+00:00

Im bi so take that as you will, but majority of my friends are straight, and Im as close to them as anyone! I see no reason why it couldnt work. Certainly a friendship between a gay man and a homophobic man wouldnt work, its just a case of finding tolerant people!

AskingToFeminists · 2019-04-03T22:43:14+00:00

Well, I'm bi. Does that mean I don't get to be friend with anyone ? ;)

Edit : joke asside, I have never even considered whether someone was gay or straight unless I had a romantic interest in them. It's an irrelevant characteristic of someone.

I have gay friends, I have straight friends. Most of my friends don't know I'm bi because it has never been relevant. Would they be to find out, it wouldn't change one iota how they treat me. I never felt the need to tell them because I don't really go around explaining to people what I like to do in with other consenting adults when nobody else is watching. It's none of anybody's business.

When I meet a potential new friend, the first question I have isn't "so, you prefer to eat pussies, or would you rather have a cock in your mouth?" It also isn't the last question, or any in-between.

Hadashi_blacksky · 2019-04-04T09:00:25+00:00

If this weren't possible, I'd have no male friends. lol

a-man-from-earth · 2019-04-03T22:34:31+00:00

Yes, of course. Just because you've had negative experiences doesn't mean everyone is like that, especially more mature people.

DaneDapper · 2019-04-04T13:55:56+00:00

Yes we can, but looking at your answers to comments, none of us wants to be friends with you

2019-04-04T22:23:26+00:00

Dude, you missed the mark. As a gay man, I understood a long time ago that kissing the ground that women's walk on is bullshit. First, being a gay pet is deteriorating. Then, you talk like a feminist. Moreover, I'd rather on be men's side, because I suck dicks.

DavidByron2 · 2019-04-05T21:08:34+00:00

I assume something blew up in comments but in case you even care this subredit is fine with gay men. having said that maybe /r/AskMen is a better place to ask about men? It's really about Civil Rights here. All the people pissed at you would support your rights.

tenchineuro · 2019-04-03T22:15:46+00:00

I don’t think thinks possible for gay men to be friends with gay men.

I think you mistyped the last line.

SirSkeptic · 2019-04-03T22:34:44+00:00

I'm as straight as they come and I love being around certain types of gay men.

You know the Stephen Fry type? Well read, elegant, with lots of inter and intra personal intelligence. They're frikken awesome.

Mythandros · 2019-04-03T23:59:43+00:00

I have a good friend who I met through work who is gay and I am straight. So yes, I know it's possible. He is good people and I have never had an issue with who he sleeps with. Frankly, it's none of my business.

He has always treated me like a friend and never hit on me in any way.

I don't see why gay and straight people can't be friends.

2019-04-04T00:10:34+00:00

As far as I know, a person has a right to choose their friends, and none of my friends are gay.

dontpet · 2019-04-04T05:36:47+00:00

I'm sorry you grew up in that environment. I didn't and that was 40 years ago I was a teen.

Yes, it was wrong. Time to move to a different place where that stuff really doesn't matter.

IG_Karsonova219 · 2019-04-04T11:09:47+00:00

I’m friends with two gay people

DavidByron2 · 2019-04-05T21:11:43+00:00

These days it's pretty easy to forget who is and isn't gay.

svending · 2019-04-03T22:12:57+00:00

Friends? Yes. But I don't think I'd wind up very close to someone who's very flamboyant just like the kind of girls I hang out with aren't the prissy ones.

And gay or straight, if you want to hang out with my friends and don't like dirt, physical work, and sitting around the campfire you're going to get razzed. Because what we end up doing involves a lot of that.
