Why do homosexuals friend me?

guys always want what they cant have.

Pretty much what buster said.

Same thing happened to me although… hehe.. they ended up being right.

People look for young guys with a good face, sorry man. You’re cursed.

gaydar i’m think means gay guys are attracted to you.
if you take care of yourself and look nice, then
it’s the same as if girls would look at you, but instead it’s guys.

Lovelyy: Gaydar means a person’s ability to detect if someone is gay or straight. A form of “gaydar” is psychologically proven in our sweat. In studies gay men prefered the odor of other gay men’s sweat, likewise straight women to straight men, straight men to straight women and lesbians to lesbians.

its ok im cursed too =D

riser, iceblu, cooldil: maybe you guys should stop being so good looking.

@TennesseeTeacake you can try and stop us.. but its not going to work =D

@riser ohh thank you now i get it : )

@cooldil17 i took a look at your myspace.
no offense but my best friend is gay and you’re pictures would remind me of someone gay. you look good and your hair is fixed and you have a star border around your room.

edit; it doesn’t say straight. it only shows your status, body type, and zodiac sign.

lol there you have it just like what lovelyy said

If it looks like one and talks like one then it is one. I also have to agree with people always want what they can’t have.

ha might i add your birthday is seven days before mine ha.

@Cooldil17 it happens to me too, you have to learn how to deal with it, don’t take it the wrong way, i actually take it as a complement, just let them know you don’t swing that direction.

i agree with iceblu – you should take this as a compliment.

Dil – Understand that young gay men are the shallowest creatures on planet Earth. It should ALWAYS be a complement.

I went and looked at your page, as well! Don’t get offended! First, the faux-hawk. Second, your shirt says “Boys something. Third, that one caricature of the dude in the bed. Lastly, your music.

I wouldn’t worry about their sexual preferences. Just see if they’re someone that shares your common interests. Besides, Gay guys usually have hot girlfriends, and for the most part are cool! Riser is a perfect example of a gay guy I enjoy having as a friend. People are people!

I think gaydar = gay + radar.

Thank you for everyones honest opinions and they are greatly appreciated. I guess I’ll just take it as a compliment and move on with my life! lol

Thanks again!

@ Cooldil17 ~ just quote them some Chuck from I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, “I don’t bat for that team.” Seriously though, a lot of hot guys ARE either gay or married or don’t have a job or live at home with their parent(s). Which of course reminds me of the movie Knocked Up.

Thanks lol

knocked up is one of my favorite movies. hahaha.

yeah, you didnt put “straight” in your orientation, but who cares. You look like a younger version of a gay friend of mine, handsome, clean-cut, etc. Like what everyone else is saying, take it as a compliment (but don’t get all conceited on us… Kidding)

Where can I look at his picture?

@ babygalll
go to his profile on here and he has it under his picture.

@lovelyy: Thanks.

His eyebrows look better than mine! I’m jealous!

@riser – I’m calling shenanigans on your “psychologically proven” gaydar. Do I believe that people are able to pick up on micro-expressions and subtle tells on a wide variety of things? Sure. But I have never seen any scientifically sound study that has proven the existence of gaydar based on sweat.

Give me a URL or it didn’t happen.

There simply isn’t any physiological reason why sweat would vary based on sexual orientation.

thnx lovelyy ~ I found his pic also. Cooldil17 you’re lookin’ mighty fine :0)

Soundedfury, don’t mess with a pro:

sweat

And CoolDil: Don’t think that I am suggesting anything about you just because gay guys are smelling your shirts or anything. :D

Human beings are far too complicated to be trapped in studies and the such. We are a phenomena and our psyche, even more so.

Soundedfury: The Fluther Guidelines

First of all, Psychology Today isn’t a reputable journal.

Second, the article you linked doesn’t give any details about Wysocki’s study. It’s a summary that quotes “another study” as further proof. The second paragraph makes a claim about the study without actually quoting it or the researcher and uses “another study” to back it up. The third paragraph has absolutely nothing to do with the premise.

Frankly, unless I can see Wysocki’s study, his conclusions and his methodology, I am still not convinced. If there was conclusive data, it would be a significant finding.

Well they probably think you are gay I mean you have no orientation and you look kinda gay/bi man. Well at least by todays standards because apparently as everyone here has pointed out straight guys can’t look good or something.

@soundedfury have you ever heard of pheromones?

I thought it was a great article, :)

I apologize to the moderators for letting this get off topic. Soundedfury: You were accusational. You asked for a link. I provided one. Please read the Fluther guidelines regarding accusations.

Have a good night and I mean that sincerely,

Mr. Daniel Riser, Esq.

@drownedtosleep straight guys can look grrreat as well, my boyfriend is very handsome. :)

@bulbatron9 – Yes, I have heard of pheromones. Do you know that there are still no conclusive studies that prove we emit or are affected by pheromones?

From “Pheromones and Animal Behaviour: Communication by Smell and Taste” by Tristam Wyatt:

“No peer reviewed data supporting the presences of…human…pheromones that cause rapid behavioral changes, such as attraction and/or copulation have been documented.”

(via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheromone#Human_pheromones)

@Riser – I’m asking you to back up your claim as fact that a “form of “gaydar” is psychologically proven in our sweat.” It’s not even an edge case against the guidelines. It’s asking you to prove your statement. If you can find a way that I’ve transgressed the guidelines, feel free to enlighten me.

@soundedfury: wikipedia isn’t a 100% legit article, anyone (even the druggy next door) can add information to it… So “first of all” its not a reputable website.

However, the study and book that it is citing is.

@soundedfury I don’t think you read that wiki article completely. Either way, I don’t want debate this. Just keep on keeping on! Best of luck to you!

Who cares if homosexuals friend you? Gay people are allowed to like straight people because of the same intrests right? Straight people are allowed to like gay people too.
Please don’t try to segregate yourself from gay people just because you are straight. You are likely to miss out on some really cool people.

@Judochop: I’m not trying to segregate myself, I only wanted to know why they felt compelled to friend me. I NEVER said I don’t want them or don’t want them to friend me. I could really give a shit about someone’s orientation.

@Cooldil17 I can’t understand why you brought this up if it isn’t a problem for you. If it is, you can always change your profile back to private, or at least make it so people have to request friendship rather than being able to simply add you. Or did you just want us all to look at your page?

If you really want to know why someone added you, the best thing to do is ask them. I have people from all walks of life on my page. Gay, straight and bisexual people are all my friends, and I love each and every one of them equally.
