Isn't that a stereotype?

O....k....

then what is your point?

I guess you could just as easily ponder why do so many lesbians take on extremely masculine (butch) qualities.

I don't like feminine guys personally. If I'm going to date them that is; some of my friends can be pretty flaming.

this is just soooo freakn sily!








ths thread is pointlsesssss

Eh, it's all variety. Most women out there don't even have the characteristics of "effeminate" men. Even "effeminate" men still have all the right equipment.

It's something called a "penis", which women lack. Plain & simple. :) :laugh:

What about you BoBo... do you like the pole or the hole?

Jerri! Eww!!

Somebody's been drinking. I'm gonna name you Dizzy.

This is just my personal taste, but my attitude is, if I wanted a woman, I'd date one

Well said:nod:

I like th pole!


and im alitttttle drunk!!!!:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I got a pole for ya.....

I just want to see you open that jar of olives :wavey:

the classic test!

If the point of the thread was to get you to complain that a thread was pointless so that I could laugh out loud in sweet, delicious irony, then mission accomplished.

If you haven't noticed by now, a lot of threads around here are pointless. :laugh: :xoxo:

lol, so true.... it's part of The Ledge's charm. :wavey:

he's slurring his writing, how cute :p

So Brwn_eyes, do you have a hangover today?

here's a pic to make you puke:

Sorry, I was drunk when I wrote that last night a little....

My head hurts....yes!

:wavey:

That's actually a stereotype, but a lot of the times true. I suppose gay men like strong/successful yet sometimes "tragic" figures...IE. Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli....

While it's not true in every case, gay men... on some level or another... often identify with strong female celebrities who have faced and/or have overcome various adversities.

Plus, we relate to the struggles of those who have always been unfairly considered "the weaker sex," as they try to rise above that to make their own place in the world.

And when it comes to someone like Stevie, we can additionally relate to her lyrics of unrequited love and doomed romances... something that permeates the lives of most gay men from the time they're old enough to have their first same-gender crush.

I have wondered this many times. However, I am a homosexual man, and I do not like the femmy types. At all. I think they're annoying and ridiculous - and to be honest, I have always believed it was just an effected behavior, caused in part by environmental stimulation. Effected for so long that it becomes the norm, and thus, a huge turnoff.

Granted, all gay men have a slightly effeminate quality to them...which is part of the appeal as well. :shrug: I don't know! It's hard to explain! :laugh:

A female impersonator out of her costume can be an exceptionally masculine creature, indeed. Do not ever let the wig and dress fool you.

A Lot of my friends are effeminate, and I love them just the same. My BF happens to be a very masculine type, but in the end it doesn't matter, as I would love him even if he starting flailing his wrist around.

(I know plenty of heterosexual men who are married to women some might consider manly)

Socialization. I have seen guys move to LA and turn into queens before my eyes, because all their new friends act that way.

Not in my more recent experience. The further I have gotten away from the trendy young weho type crowd (which I never was really a part of anyway)and into just doing things I like, I find I have met a number of men who don't take part in "gay culture" at all. And they are just normal guys. Completely masculine. Being gay doesn't define them and they hardly give it a second thought. Works for me.

I have friends who are full on flamers, and friends who can not elicit a glance in small town truck stop. Takes all kinds.

I dunno...I act a little bit effeminate. Not overly so, but in some ways. It's just how I am though, I don't *try* to act like that or anything. My "boyfriend" acts similarly too. :nod:

My friend Nick is as effeminate as they come. Queeny with a capital Q. I love him to death, but I can't say that I would find it attractive in a partner or a phuck buddy. It would drive me nuts and probably make me flaccid.

:laugh:

Well I guess I feel the same. I like a strong man. :p :D :laugh:

It's gotten to where the whole obssession with "straight-acting" that some gay men have is incredibly annoying to me. I have been attracted to men that might be considered "effeminate." Just be yourself. I have a friend (gay man) who thinks men dressing in drag is "not appropriate." His attitude strikes me as the same as the "straight-acting" thing...these people aren't comfortable with being gay, and it's kind of sad.

It's the feminine voice and the drinking from a glass with a raised pinky and the overdramatics. Cumulatively, it's one giant turn-off to me, but if others like it, have some hot and dirty fun.

Don't you mean mincing and dainty fun?

:laugh: :laugh:

Yes, dainty fun. That is rich, good job.

I suppose they could also have overdramatic and flouncy fun.

I just kind of laugh at that kind of stuff. Its sooooo over the top. :nod:

My bf Brad and I are FAR from dainty. In fact, we're goofy and doofy; dumb and dumber :laugh:

DUDE ! You have a bf ? That is awesome !:thumbsup:

Straightacting is a misnomer. These guys aren't so straight with a di*k in their mouths. It is about being yourself and being relaxed. The men I find attractive are calm, confident, and grounded. And I like deep voices. Thus, I like masculinity. I think that a lot of gay men have issues with their fathers and reject everything their fathers represent, and sometimes that is why it is so easy for them to pick up all that over the top Paul Lynde Jack MacFarlane schtick. Which is not authentic to them either. I totally rejected my dad for awhile, and if I hadn't, when I was young I would have been a full on jock and probably joined the military. In my twenties I relaxed into the guy I am now. The queeny stuff is funny at a party, and fine with a friend, but a certain erection killer for me.

I used to hang a bit at a homo website called straightacting.com. It was pretty slow, but there were guys there who liked to talk about rock and roll, pickup trucks, outdoor stuff....I got a kick out of it. I took their test and got this funny little sig pic. I thought about putting it in my profile a long time ago.:laugh:

Well, I think so too, but I'm not the one who coined the term. :D

If "masculine" (whatever that means) is how you really are, then that's fine...what I find aggravating is when guys go overboard with the machismo because they're obviously uncomfortable with their homosexuality. Like guys who refuse to bottom, for instance.

I had a roommate who was gay, but didn't want anyone who was not gay to know about it. When I lived with him and we were interviewing potential third roommates, he asked me once if I would be willing to keep my being gay a secret. I told him no, and he actually wound up telling these people that he was bi, even though he'd never been with a woman. He would even try to talk about girls with some of these straight guys. And other things, like sports, which I knew he wasn't into, but he pretended to be so straight guys would think he was a "real man." Or something. It was sooo painful to watch. :distress:
