<p>but she never let you put it in her!</p>
<p>i can be sincere sometimes too, and i respect guys like you mactech</p>
<p>The trick to looking+acting like a straight guy is…</p>
<h1>1 Not dressing well.</h1>
<h1>2 Not acting flamboyant.</h1>
<h1>3 Not doing girly things.</h1>
<h1>4 Not making out with other guys publicly.</h1>
<p>I’m a straight guy who does none of the above (except #4), and people who don’t know me often think I’m gay. However, I think the best advice for your friend is to:</p>
<h1>1 Get over what other people think.</h1>
<h1>2 Accept himself for who he is.</h1>
<h1>3 Become friends with people who aren’t ignorant.</h1>
<h1>4 Find himself a hottie.</h1>
<p>Wait, hypoxia, you’re straight, yet you do #4?</p>
<p>well hypoxia id think your gay too if you made out with men publicly lmao</p>
<p>He will be found out if he tries not to be. If he just tries not to talk like some gay guys do (like one of my friends), then ehh. He should try not to hang out with ONLY girls…</p>
<p>He also shouldn’t always match. His shoes should be a different color from his belt and shirt for the most part… </p>
<p>Im just trying to think of everything that has ever correctly given off a gay guy.</p>
<p>I still think he should be open about it (not open, but not trying to conceal it)… He will make friends and it will be weird if he tells them a few years later… “hey guys, im gay”</p>
<p>Seriously, the mixed drink tip is good IMO. I have a moderate gaydar, and I picked up on some of my friends being gay before they even really accepted it themselves with that one.</p>
<p>ummm</p>
<p>Astro, why the heck did u post this on CC??</p>
<p>Don’t talk gayly</p>
<p>Try to watch the mannerisms (namely, try not to do anything with the wrist). Be careful with your speech; don’t say “Oh, my gawd!!” or “Like, y’know” every two seconds. Whoever told you (or your “friend”) to say “dude” more often was completely right. Don’t talk about guys OR girls. If a straight guy talks about an attractive girl, give a noncommittal response. Some things you just can’t change–like the tone of your voice, or an interest in theater/dance/art (stereotypically “gay” interests). I did all of this for years & nobody had a clue about my sexuality.</p>
<p>But seriously, I suggest that your friend stops being someone he isn’t. Sooner or later something will snap and he’ll realize what a waste of time it all was. Especially when his friends go, “Oh, you’re gay? Big deal.”</p>
<p>After reading this thread it is obvious that most people harbor a flawed cultural understanding of what it means to be a man. Apparently being “manly” equates to being a brain dead, tasteless neanderthal that is only interested in sports, beer, boobs, and physical strength. I’d like to think that manhood would be associated with wisdom, virtue, integrity, honesty, intellect, and self-control, but apparently it is associated with foolishness, arrogance, gluttony, and recklessness. I’d say that as a rule of thumb most men that act this way are incredibly insecure and weak. Just because someone is cultured and interested in the arts does not mean that the is person effeminate; it just means that they are well-bred.</p>

<p>That’s a lot of adjectives there…</p>
<p>Sorry! They were meant to emphasize my point. At second glance it does seem like overkill. You get the point, though.

<p>bahhahah this thread is hilarious…where does your “friend” got to school, Alabama? Girls love gay guys, tell him to step out of the closet and get his hot girlfriends over, if it’s really your “friend” your talking about.</p>
<p>I’m a straight guy, from a somewhat rough backround, kind of “tough” by elite college standards, and I have just started assimilating into the whole Montreal culture of metrosexual is more manly. I’m not there all the way, but I have a gay friend for the first time and occasionally ask for advice when deciding what to wear to a fancy nightclub, etc. Real men wear pink, ask camron. This is why the “manly” guys back in south Boston bang fat irish chicks who work at gas stations while i bring home girls that model on the side…sorry, that was just some residual resentment towards the guys in high school who ran the social scene and now work construction in the same place they grew up in. Anyhow, I don’t need to contrive any set of mannerisms to appear manly…those that do past the age of say, 15, are usually closet homosexuals. Especially those that have to talk in a “man voice” that is clearly not their own when around females, actively mention who they want to fight, who they think is gay,etc. Bascially, my conovoluted, poorly articulated point is that gay guys are cooler in college than your average middle american meat head anyway.</p>
<p>he could pay for a hooker and flaunt her around campus…hey, just throwing it out there.</p>
<p>in all seriousness, he should just be himself. he’s going to be absolutely miserable if he tries to be something he’s not. life’s too short man.</p>
<p>What CC needs is some good trolldar.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You cannot honestly think that being metrosexual is manly.</p>
<p>i agree with mactech. im like almost the same. and everyone thought i was gay for jr high and the beginning of high school.</p>
<p>I’m gay and I think this is sad.</p>
<p>He should transfer to a new school if he feels so uncomfortable.</p>
<p>go to some ultra gay place like Bard, Wesleyan, Skidmore, Sarah Lawrence, Bennington, etc. etc. :-)</p>
<p>That’s what i’m doing in my college applications primarily because… i dont feel comfortabel at my current high school :-(</p>
<p>he should just talk about hot girls alot. thats me and my guy friends do. play halo, drink beer and eat pizza. but he shouldnt dress bad on purpose just to look straight. he should dress good but not overly gay.</p>
<p>kev, you should post in the Gay College Students thread. I started it, but hardly anyone has responded. I’m sure you can easily find the thread by doing a quick search.</p>
