Am I weird?

[Snome]

All my str8 friends tell me that gay guys love the company of women.

I don't. I really enjoy the company of men and all but two of my large circle of friends are male. Of my two female friends, one puts a constant strain on our friendship by continually trying to 'convert me' and the other is the only female who's ever made me wish that I was bi - not that inserting any part of my anatomy into any part of her anatomy appeals to me in the slightest (Oh, how utterly disgusting) but if I were str8 or bi I'd definately want to shag her.

Anyway, I spend most of my free time with guys - most of whom are str8 - but all the same, I just feel comfortable with guys. I know how they tick, how they think and I find guys are honest and easy to relate to - and, of course, I dont have to think about time of month or how to cope with moods etc.

I'm not really to comfy in the company of queens either. Am I - for a guy who's positively gay - weird?

So it's not 'normal' for gay men to prefer the company of women? I've always been told it is.

Oh thank fcuk. A little honesty. Me too. I've no problem working for or with any (well, OK, most) of them but I rarely socialise with women.

That's through choice. I simply prefer to be with men.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! That's exactly how I feel - oh joy! - I don't feel so weird after all!! Or at least, not so alone in my weirdness!!

LMAO I guess it's different strokes for different folks, but my closest friends are women. I don't think it's a "gay" thing; I just think it's a personality thing. You find something in a person you associate with; gay or straight and hopefully a friendship starts... that's all I think it is, really.

Yeah, I can socialize with woman better than guys, but thats because we share more interests then I do with straight guys. So it's just easier to have girl friends.

I also think that an implication or reason given for this stereotype is that it's often easier for a gay guy to socialize with a woman than it is for a straight guy too. i.e. gay guys are just approaching as friends while straight guys are approaching as potential mates and have to balance/deal with the inherent awkwardness in that.

I'm similar in this regard though. A majority (maybe 75%) of my stronger friends are male.

It's a funny old world. I just find it so difficult to relate to women - there always seems to be some kind of hidden agenda - and I just cant be arsed making the effort, if the truth be known. I find guys so much easier and straightforward. But maybe that's just me. Almost all my straight male friends know I'm gay and my sexuality doesn't seem to be a problem to them or theirs to me. But women...I have nothing in common with them and find them sexually repulsive. Maybe I am weird, after all.

I have to be honest, I enjoy being around men moreso than women because just like you..women are always trying to convert me. When you are nice and friendly towards them, I have yet to meet a woman whether straight or lesbian who wants to fuck me and then gets angry because I don't want to. I remember having this one lesbian friend who went behind my back and told a bunch of lies on me to a guy that really liked me as much as I liked him. Afterwards, the guy became very distant towards me without an explanation. Months later, he confided in me that my lesbian friend had told him all these lies about me and he had believed her at the time until he eventually found out that there was no truth to what she said. However, I had definitely lost interest in him altogether and he had lost a lot of my respect for him.
