I am a gay m 23, i am girly and like girls as friends. i feel i can be friends with girls because they know i am gay and like guys and we have same interests. i know i was born more like girl than boy, so I just try to be who I am. sex with my bf is great, he is manly so he likes being in conrol, and i guess he likes to conquer me, which is fine with me. i guess its a macho thing for him. are all guys like this. get back with answers love taylor

Well, of course, the answer is that some girls may like gay guys as friends, and some may not. Some people have no tolerance for the gay lifestyle, and women like that wouldn't seek a gay guy to be a friend, or even an acquaintance.

Gay men, straight men, gay women, straight women, they're ALL human beings. Some nice, some not so nice. When people make friends with other people, in most cases, it's because they LIKE them, not what their sexual orientation is.

I've had a few gay friends over the years.....and I liked them because I liked them, and their sexuality had nothing to do with it. I don't think about my straight friends' straightness, and I don't thing about my gay friends' gayness. I don't care what ANYONE does in the privacy of their own home.

I briefly worked in a small company that was owned by two gay men. I loved one of them, and I couldn't STAND the other one, because he was a creep, because he was mentally abusive to the other one, and he was a generally obnoxious person. None of that had anything to do with his being gay.....just that he was an unlikeable person.

If you're a generally nice and likeable person, people will like you....women and even straight men. If they choose to be your friend, good for them. If you enjoy the company of women, then cultivate female friendships. Just as in the straight world, some women will accept you as a friend, others won't. As a straight female, I've met women that I liked a lot, and wanted to be friendly with. Sometimes it was mutual, sometimes not. That's life for all of us.

No offense, Taylor, but you have heard of "Fag Hags," haven't you? I believe Grace on "Will & Grace" called herself that all the time. Lots of women enjoy having gay male friends. There's a certain comfort you mentioned, of having similar interests, sensibilities, etc.

I love these forums, it is great to have a place to come and be accepted. i have two girl friends, who are really sweet, but we dont get into sex too much. my bf is horny all the time, he is my first relationship, and he is hotttt, and manly, i love being the submissive one in our relationship. and that makes me happy, i have always felt more like a girl than a boy. hug for now tayolor
