Facebook "interested in" thrustowrthy?

Either it means they're straight or that they want people to think they're straight.

I remember for the last few years I had mine hidden up until a few weeks ago I changed it to interest in in men.

 

If youre sure theyre gay, It probably means that they just want people to think their straight.

 

Not many of my friends have any "interested in" marked. The ones that Do have something to hide (that i suspect are gay that is) definitely have interested in women marked xD

ofc, it might mean nothing, but i think that labeling yourself as straight when most people are ASSUMED straight is kind of redundant. Some people might do it just because they feel they want to, but sometimes it can be a sign. Like, someone who (for ex, you think is gay) isn't assumed to be straight... They might need to mark themselves as straight

Take these words with a grain of salt, theres always that chance you could be wrong.

Personally, I would take it to mean absolutely nothing, and base your judgment of them on how they act and more importantly react to things. Do they have girlfriends? Have they ever had them? How do they act if you bring them up? Do they stray away from sexual topics? etc etc. Often times gay people who try to act straight are bad at faking their feelings unless they haven't realized they are gay yet, or are like dedicated to keeping up the lie.

 

Could be they are in denial if you not seen them for a while be careful they may be in the closet or in denial. I would first either speak to them on facebook or in person and then make the judgment on if they are gay, in hiding or not.

 

the people I know that are in closet or don't like there sexuality generally have nothing ticked ,people who are comfortable with their sexuality tick the right box

 

But thats a generalization not always the case with everyone some could use it to try convince themselves that they not something else. Not saying that is the case just saying it could be.

 

What makes you think they're gay (besides the fact that you like them; it seems many young gay men assume anyone they like is gay)? If they say they're straight, assume they are and act accordingly.

 

I used to have it on women. Now it's just on nothing.
It could be. Or it could not.

Story of my life. I wasn't in denial, but because i do not want people to know i that I'm gay I used to set my interest as "interested in women." Then after i reached my "being gay is nothing to be ashamed of" stage, I just decided to leave that section blank.

 

hehehe 'thrust'worthy

 

ftfy


On topic: even if they were gay, they'd be so deep in the closet dating would be nigh impossible

 

All of the guys in high school who propositioned me over Facebook had "Interested in Women" on their profiles. It took me a while to work up the courage to do it, but I did change mine to say "Interested in Men"

 

I have mine as both and nobody's ever said anything to me, I dunno

 

I just keep my FB page pretty gay adorned and if I add someone they better be ok with it or they can get out. I have my preference set to 'interest in men' however once upon a time I did leave it blank back when the page was pretty much empty.

I went by the whole idea of it as just another form that I didn't have to fill out; if you wanted to ask me then I'd answer, but there's no way why I have to display it publicly.

Now I have it out there since I'm starting to be more open that I have been and it helped keep the biblical fanatics from trying to befriend me.

Edit: A funny story, I added a guy from my school a few years ago and he was a few grades ahead of me; his interest was in women and religion was labeled pretty profoundly. Well now he's pretty openly gay and is a smoking hot Male/Male model. You can't judge everyone around the first time, people open up differently.

I gotta say though, I didn't mind the averts :icon_lol: .

 

I wish I could change mine to Men

 

Why can't you? what's holding you back?

Mine is blank as is for almost all of my friends

 

I have mine set to men but I have that on custom privacy settings. More and more people that I come out to then I'll add them to the list. A while ago, I didn't have anything checked though.

 

This is exactly what I do.

As for them having it set to 'Women', I did too when I was trying to hide my sexuality.
