Being approached by people of the same sex

How Soon Is Now

I might of talked about this on here before i cant remember?

Anyway im sure its happened to plenty of us on a night out or whatever at some point in our lives?

Its actually happened to me a good few times over the years and i never really took it that seriously kinda took it as a compliment or whatever!.

Still i do often wonder what brought it on in the first place. Personally there's nothing im aware of that would give the impression im not straight
I know not all gay men go around with a sign saying ''Gay'' but ya i think its fairly obvious i am who i am!

I had friends in the past who are gay male and female and i was once or twice in gay bars with them. Each time i was approached by men.

I made a joke of the whole thing really took it well i know not everyone would! Even after one guy followed me around for while insisting he wanted to turn me! Lets just say my girlfriend at the time wasn't to happy!.

There have been other occasions as well but ya you get the picture.

So anyways is this a common thing to happen?

Id be curious to see what people think is the reason for it as well especially if its more then a once off.

Is it common that a fella would be approached in a gay bar? I would think so

The reason for it? You’re a fella, in a gay bar.

:pac: I knew id get that haha. I can understand it in there to a degree but even after you make it clear your straight and then for it to happen in numerous other places. Some where outside of Ireland as well.

Few times. Took it as a compliment and reflected on how much easier it would be to get laid if I could do it.

Has never happened to me TBH. Even in a Gay bar. Maybe I missed it, but I doubt it as blokes are rarely subtle in such matters. It seems Gay lads just don't like me in that way.

Same as myself , even the Christian brothers and priests payed no attention to me when I was growing up.
Then again I'm an ugly fecker.

Eh if you are in a gay bar then I guess the folks are going to assume your gay. Has it ever happened to you outside of a gay bar?

I dunno if I'm just more attractive to gay men than to straight women or if there's something of the old Catholic guilt affecting women more but I don't think I've ever been in a gay or gay friendly bar where I wouldn't have had options as to whom I'd be going home with were I that way inclined. It made me quite jealous of my gay friends tbh!

.......

Happened me in a gay bar, I am a woman and an absolutely stunning looking woman asked me if I was single and looking to mingle. She looked like Nicole Kidman.

To this day I regret I didnt take her up on the offer.

But back in day experimentation wasnt as common as it would be now.

How Soon Is Now

See i understand theres obviously a greater chance of it happening in a gay bar for obvious reasons!


Its more the other places and situations that wouldn't be as obvious.

Tell me how

Happened to me twice. One in regular bar and second at a wedding. Both times I took it as a compliment and thought that gay men's chat up approach is streets ahead of our straight neanderthal game.

Ragnar Lothbrok

Never happened to me. I've never been to a gay bar though.

If you make it clear you're not interested in someone, that should be accepted, whatever your sexuality.

I've never been chatted up by a woman. I don't think you straight men are in anyway neanderthal with your approach. There is enough negativity towards you in our current culture without being hard on yourselves

See heres where ive noticed a pattern.

When ive been approached by girls in the past nearly always when i wasn't single ffs :pac: I told them my situation and no harm done!

On more then one occasion though with gay men even though they knew i was straight and i gave them no signs there where ''doubts'' some wouldn't leave it at that.

There was the guy i mentioned before who wanted to turn me he bought me drink as well ffs lol. There was another guy who tried to kiss me we were in a group of other people as well!

This other bloke who i was kinda friends with when i was away for a few months who knew my girlfriend as well he would always randomly make remarks towards me and also he followed me into the jacks one night making comments on my dick.....

I didn't go out of my way looking for these things either :pac:

Some curious replies I have indeed, been approached on various occasions which made me clench up somewhat and I did develop a staunch fear that can only described as homophobia?

I think it can be a useful tool in damaging a mans pride but I think the general consensus nowadays is feel free to flatter unabashed.

Never happened to me. Probably you are just more attractive than a usual bloke. Do women chat you up in a bar too?

Ah i wouldn't say that now! I mean im not ugly but i wouldn't call myself gorgeous or anything haha.

Ya women chat me up hasn't really happened as much recently but im with a girl nearly 9 years so id say they can smell it off me at this stage :P

To be honest when im out the last thing im looking for is strangers attention im just there to drink and have a laugh with me mates or whoever im with at the time!

I think I've found your problem!

I used to regularly get hit on by blokes for some reason, I'm straight, not in any way camp or anything like that, wasn't in gay bars and I would most likely have been engaged in chasing fanny like it was being outlawed the following morning.

I haven't a clue why they'd go for me to be quite honest. (must just be a sexy motherfúcker I suppose:D)

Of course, this was back in the days when I used to get out every now and again:mad:

I'd take it as a compliment.

Brilliant as always After Hours never change.... :pac:

A couple of times on the street. One time in the evening on the way home from work a man insisted on taking me out for dinner !!! :P

Second time, I'm on a night out with my girlfriend (now wife) and a lad jumps out of a passing car and tries to chat me up. My GF thought it was funny and the guy was insistent until I had to rudely tell him to f*ck off

bear1

Quite a few times by men, just told them no thanks and I'm not gay.
The worst is when they get insistent as if you'd suddenly say "ah yeah feck it shure why not".
To be fair though, I'm a ride so if I could I'd ride myself.

Do women get this as much as men do or is it just stereotypical dirty men :P ?

You don't have the gene :pac: Me neither. In 30 years of going to clubs, bars etc, never hit up by my own gender.

Gays folk can spot detect each other from 100metres. People call it gaydar (which I think is probably intended as a slur)

No I think he just enjoys the ambiguity

Casting unassertions; that type of thing but there’s a good chance if he doesn’t get one himself then he sure doesn’t get the other.

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die

I'd say it does.

OP, you sound like you might be too nice and polite. If someone won't take a polite no for an answer, then let out your inner grinch.

It also happened more than once. Normally when I was a bit pissed!

A guy once followed me home once in a car. I was 18 at the time. First asked me "Do you want a lift" i said no, obviously. Then i walk on, he comes back down the same road in the opposite direction and rolls down the window and says "Are you sure you don't want me to suck your ****".

I hadn't a lift home that night, but i really wish that my friends took some better care of me in making sure i got home safe.

In the line-break pause there in that post, I've a feeling there's some kind of a spooky Netflix film that could be made?
