How would you react to a gay person who found you TOTALLY repulsive ?

[MTL]

It depends entirely on what kind of gay dude it is, and if he states a specific reason. If it's just a regular dude who just likes dudes, I wouldn't care about the opinion of me one way or the other. I'm just not his taste. *shrug* I'm not a "macho" guy, so if he's into macho guys, he's not going to like me. And that's okay.

But if it's accompanied with a specific, like "you have no taste in clothing, and the way you dress makes you look misshapen", for instance, then I'd probably take that to heart and try to fix it.

Of course, I'm straight and so I'd prefer to dress so women  found me attractive, rather than men, but sometimes those concepts are synonymous, since we generally take our ideas about what is attractive from culture.

My grandmother used to do that:  take it upon herself to criticize people's faults and offer unsolicited advice on what they should do differently.

Now, I will personally forgive much,
if it is said without malice,
even if I think it is socially inept, uncalled-for and even obnoxious.

It is much more difficult to smile and accept it graciously
when the person it comes from is far from perfect, themselves.

I usually just smile and say,

" Duly noted.  Thank you. "
