What those guys look like now:
Aubrey Plaza femboy confirmed????
As a mostly straight dude who does not score high on conventional physical attractiveness I encourage absolutely everyone independent of their gender to hit on me. Being told/signaled that I am attractive is always welcome.
Just don't blatantly ignore boundaries like physical touch without explicit consent. That too applies completely independent of gender.
I'm sure you're aware but I think it needs to be said more; but I think that most women would love to pay men compliments on their appearance, but unfortunately, it sometimes leads to weird, obsessive, totally inappropriate behaviour from said men and so that scares a lot of women off.
We, as a society, should try to discourage men from reading too much into a purely platonic compliment so that women feel more free to give men compliments without fear of super awkward and/or scary situations.
When you say “hi” and the guy is like “I’m not into you”
Not into you either bro. Just acknowledging you’re there and I’m here so you don’t fall off a cliff in surprise just cuz I’m walking this trail behind you. Safety measures and all that.
Same. Though feel free to touch. I'm a man slut :3
Man if I ever get comments on my appearance it goes to my head and I cant think straight for days.
Thankfully that's only happened like twice.
I cant think straight for days.
Temporarily homosexual?
That's how they get you.
Fake it til you make it!
You too remember when that girl told you that you had good, healthy finger nails in 2012?
Pretty sure I still catch myself smiling over the girl in highschool 18 years ago that said she was jealous because I had really long and pretty eyelashes.

I lack the confidence to say thanks, but your wasting your time or is it more I might say yes.
Just cuz someone's blind doesn't mean they are willing to date the ugliest ogre.
Oh hey, I see you’ve met the guy who keeps aggressively refusing to take my friends’ nos for an answer
I love being hit on by gay men. I can actually tell it’s happening.
Right?! This right here.
I was once yelled at by a friend of a girl for "ignoring her advances." I kid you not, the "advances" consisted of her walking up to me at a party, saying "hey, aren't you in my math class?" (To which I answered in the affirmative) and "well, um, I guess I'll see you there Monday!"
How the fuck was I supposed to know that was an attempt at flirting?
The older gay guy at work? "You're gorgeous. Ever consider dating a man?"
What's happening?
with you? not much
:(
You've been savagely attacked by an internet monster.

I used to provide security for a club that held a lot of queer dance parties. It's pretty flattering to be hit on by gay guys. They'll give you honest compliments that most women won't.
They'll give you ~~honest~~ compliments that most women won't.
;_;
wait, are you saying women don't give you complements or that gays don't give honest ones?
Both :'(
I think it's neither? I believe he meant, "Gay guys will give honest compliments, whereas women won't." That's been my experience, too. I really wish women were half as open and kind in approaching as gay guys have been.
I'm a cishet man. Only one gay man has ever hit on me and it disappoints me. Like what's wrong with me, guys? Don't you want this body?
I've only been hit on once by gay men and it was a case of mistaken identity. It was at a halloween party in 2004 and I was dressed as an Abu Ghraib detainee from Iraq, mostly naked wearing just a black hood, a dog collar and leash around my neck, and skin colored underwear with a stuffed dog attached as if it was biting my crotch. Nobody really got the costume - they just assumed it was some sort of fetish thing.
I was literally in a gay bar the only time I was hit on. My friend was the bartender and I'd hang out there with him sometimes. So for all I know, the guy hitting on me was just very desperate.
I sure wasn't hit on any of the other times I was in there.
🙁

Had one recent tenant straight up tell me within the first few days of renting, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, "I hate removeds".
I just stared at him and replied, "You're just mad because they don't hit on you"
He was also recently removed from the property.
He was barely 19, and just started university.
Good luck in life, bro.

I went to a gay bar with my gay friends from work last week. I had 5 compliments on my beard. It felt so good.
How is your wife doing by the way
Om nom nom nom...
Often I wish I was attracted to men. Gay guys seem to find me attractive, unlike (both straight and gay) women
To be fair, gay women don't find men attractive in general.
And the men who do attract us tend to really hate the features that cause that
