I am FAR more likely to remember a man's name than a women's. When women attempt to get my attention (a certain divorcee springs to mind) she has to literally trowel it on for it to register. In the divorcees case, I was dense enough to not realize she wanted me to ask her out, and I attempted to fix her up with a nice single HETERO friend of mine she was totally not interested in.
I'm pretty sure many attempts to 'wheedle' and 'cajole' me made by women flashing a smile, showing some skin, or winking sail right over my head and I don't notice. Have a man anywhere near me show vulnerability, emotion, loneliness, etc. and I am much more likely to pick up on it.
Is it sexist? I dunno, I'm wired that way. Does it reflect poorly on the women that they just assume I'm hetero and can be easily subdued into doing their bidding at the sight of a little cleavage? Or would I be a sexist pig if that stuff worked on me to the detriment of others I am working with ?
I find all of this funny, it's not like I seek out women to ignore, but hey, I'm a guy that likes guys.
A lot.
And since I'm a guy too, I am thinking about men frequently. Tall, strapping, masculine, manly men.
Woot!
are there many manly strapping masculine men who are gay?
I like to get touchy feely with guys as long as we are both fully clothed. anything sexual with a guy seems very gross to me. women are more soft, less hairy, & and have boobs. do you find the male face better looking than a females typically?
I don't notice women's faces. And yes, many manly men are secretly frequently fond of each other.
Grizzled prospectors, burly lumberjacks, sweaty jocks, all command my attention. Any female striving to get my attention (sorry Deb!) is really going to have to work at it.
A local HVAC tech looks like an island castaway dying of scurvy (I think it is him smoking too many cigarettes, LOL!) and I'd jump his bones if he showed the slightest interest in having me do so. I can't imagine too many women being attracted to him, but maybe there are a few.
Curiously, I am repulsed by hairy women.
Ick!
