I've found that I talk differently around straight guys then I do around my girl friends or guys I know arent straight. For example, I'll say "Thanks, man." as opposed to just "Thanks" to a straight guy. Anyone else do this?
Definentally. I always make really perverted jokes around my straight friends. But I don't feel that I have to around ya'll!!
Yeah...around my straight friends, I always watch my actions and think before I talk or act...but around my friends that know I'm gay, I act really different, that's for sure.
When I'm with my gay friends, I say things like "wow you've got a cute ass!" but I don't with my straight friends. Oh... wait a minute... that would be with my bf. I guess I don't act or talk much differently depending on who I'm with.
At school I act as whatever comes naturally to me, but I know that at work I usually try not to be so obvious...most of the guys I work with are cute and I try not to make that fact obvious.
i tend to be a little more aware of how im acting when im around my guy friends but not so much with my girl friends. i think its most likely because guys tend to be more judgmental about your behavior (aka whether its gay or not etc etc).
with the people who know im gay im make all sorts of sexual jokes but around the people who dont know im the Polite Correct person everyone expect to be.
I have different personalities for the straights and gays. Well, more the Christians and the people who love me for me. I try to make them as comfortable as possible. I try to lower my voice; because I don't want them to think I have a high voice on purpose. And I try to stop myself from saying "geesh that guy's cute." But with my friends that love me for who I am, I can go on man hunts :]! even the straight ones, lol.
I'd like to think that I'm fairly consistent, lulz. I couldn't really imagine turning on/off facets of my personality to escape judgement from "friends", imo.
I act pretty much the same..except lately I've been trying to drop heavy hints cos I'm not completely out yet.
its not about "turning on/off facets of my personality." at least in my case, it has nothing to do with personality, so don't make that generalization.
I make really perverted jokes around my straight friends, but I act really "gay", like use stereotypical gay phrases and stuff around my gay friends.
I didn't mean to offend, heh. My statement probably seemed much more bold than I meant for it to be. The whole "thanks man" thing is probably just something you've become used to saying around guys simply because it's something boys say.The reason I said that (and this isn't directed at you, lol) is because it usually goes a lot deeper than that. and to Kato... this post? i did it for the lulz. haha u r g4m3r?
