How would you feel if someone "went gay" for you?

If someone went gay for you..? Don't get the question really. Do you mean that the person is straight first, but becomes gay for you..?

 

What does masculinity have to do with it?

 

Straight girls are attracted to masculinity. I'm not masculine so I would find it weird if a straight-identified fell for me.[/QUOTE]

I would say straight girls are attracted to MEN, not masculinity...

 

Thanks for the answer! Well, I can't answer the questions, since it all depends on his personality, appearance, idead, point of view, etc.. You get the idea.

But in general it doesn't matter to me, I guess I would feel flattered? But I would feel the same when a girl tells me she loves me, or when a male tells me he loves me, regardless of her/his orientation (and gender).

 

I wouldn't really care as long as it was only a guy saying to to me :lol:

 

I would be amused.

 

I don't believe that someone can "go gay" for you.

I think I wouldn't date that person... I would not be able to stop thinking about her leaving me. If she so easily "went gay" for me what could stop her so easily just "go straight" again for a guy? Just no...

 

FWIW, they often go hand-in-hand.

 

I wouldn't trust such a person. If a girl is not attracted to other girls as a rule, I can't let myself connect.

 

If a lesbian went "straight" for me or someone who was straight but didn't typically like transguys went "queer" for me or whatever, I'd be fine with it. Flattered. Shocked. But also fine with it. If I liked her, too, let's call it a match! (!)

 

Flattered, mostly.

However, I might be a little worried about pursuing a relationship with them, because are they just experimenting, or having fun, or...?

If they stuck by me & were serious over a longer haul that would be another matter.

 

I wouldn't be interested. I don't like the feeling of being someone's 'exception'; I feel like in those cases it never really works out like you think it would. In some cases it does (I'm not trying to insult anyone who has an exception and it worked out for them), but they would still heavily be attracted to men more than women in general, which to me is a turn-off.

Not always. I know a few straight girls that are only attracted to feminine/androgynous looking men (Friends of mine). And some straight men only like butch/masculine women. Heteronormative culture makes us get stereotypical with gender expression, but there are also a lot of straight people who have tastes outside the "norm".

 

I too have the question though: Why would you assume that a straight girl was liking you because you reminded her in any way of a man, or of masculinity?

I guess I *technically* get the equation/assumption, but: Why couldn't a straight girl just be attracted to *you*? To the chemistry she felt between your personalities? To a beautiful & alluring or intriguing woman?

 

Flattered, I guess...

Sexuality doesn't just change like that. If he becomes attracted to me, then there was already something there, just suppressed. Unless it's purely romantic attraction, which is okay too.

 

It happened to me once. But he left me after about a month because he wasn't as gay after all. So if it were to happen again I'll be more careful about it.

But what is a gay guy to do if the straight guy he loves to death says he loves him? Love makes you blind.

 

I think I'd be flattered, yet a little weirded out.

 

I saw go with the flow but go with caution!
