Flattered when a gay guy hits on you?

oh yeah, perfectly normal. I am gay but you have to remember most gay men are simply attracted to male beauty and for a gay man to hit on you just says you are probably exceptionally attractive as a man. But, it doesn't mean YOU have to act upon it (react upon it, actually) Think of it as a compliment and not some reflection on your sexuality or sexual preferences.Do you normally get angry when somebody pays you a compliment? In my book, handling it with grace, a shy but appreciative smile and being honest to your flatterer makes you just a cool straight guy.

I think you SHOULD be flattered. I mean to be attractive enough to get the girls AND the guys? Hehe consider it a compliment.

Oh shut up, its ALWAYS good to hear that someone you dont know thinks that your sexually attracted

I dont mind if it just Flatter, they have even called me like "hey man lets talk" and have whistled me and all that i think is:

"DAMM I ROCK even the guys look at me" i smile and keep walking, as long is just with words its ok, but if one of them try to put a finger on me or try to be beyong funny i beat him up.

I vote normal, but it's probably not considered "normal" by the average male.

Many straight guys may tend to be homophobic (I'm not saying you are), and when they are hit on by a gay guy, they tend to feel insulted, thinking "this guy thinks I look gay" rather than feel complimented and think "hey, both sexes find me attractive, I must be damn hot!" And when a man feels that his manhood has been insulted, his first instinct may be to defend it. It is common to think that your first reaction might have been to "punch the guy in the face". Perhaps many men picture the scenario as demeaning, because they have witnessed the way some lewd guys may hit on girls and end up getting smacked. If they picture gays as deviant and lewd, guys probably think that they'll get hit on the same demeaning way, and a simple "I'm straight" wouldn't be enough to restore a damaged ego.

I'm going by the perceived generic straight male mindset for this, and it is still only my opinion, which is that of a fence-sitting female, which is why I threw in a lot of probably, perhaps, and maybe. ^^;; So, uh, take it as you will. Anyways, kudos to you for being polite to the guy and just telling him you were straight.

Yeah, its totally cool. I mean you must be some kind of hunk, me being a gayhave a seen alot of attractive guys have never seen one that has made me go up to them compliment them and face the chance that he may injure me. But u must be really something, I mean i always belived that gay men were better at admire the attractiveness of guy than women are, and that was a very bold move of him, i mean i've complimented men on their looks before, just not to them, out loud at all, only in my thoughts. but yeah there's nothing wrong with that, totally cool.

hahaha omg ya it is normal. so many gay girls /lesbian girls have hit on me for thelast 7 yrs of my life.the first time it happened i was a senior in highschool. and this one chick that was open lesbian to the whole world -she had a gf, and she always dressed like a guy, and one day she came in dressed SOOO GIRLY!!!! and i COULDN'T STOP STARRING OUT OF SHOCK!!!!! CAUS EI HAD NEVER SEEN HER SO GIRLY BEFORE!!!!! and everyone in our math class was shocked too! she looked good! but i wasn;t starring at her like i was attracted to her! but i guess she got the wrong message and turned around to face me (she sat in the seat in front of me) and she said "I like you, do you want to go out sometime?" and i was blown away! that was the first time a gay person ever asked me out straight to my face!!! I covered my wide openb mouth and blurted out laughing and i said in the middle of my laughs " Sorry I'm straight...! But Thanks....and hey!" she said "ya?" i said" YOUR GF IS AT THE DOOR!!!" and she turned around immediately and was all suprised her gf was at the door like giving her this mad look on her face lolol
take it as a compliment but be serious when you tell them you are straight or if u have a bf or gf or whatever. lesbians and gay guys (MOST OF THEM) get the message when you tell them nicely to their faces. straight guys never get the message because they r in denial that they got rejected

Definately a compliment! I would have been flattered too if I had been in your position:)

It just makes you cocktease.

Sorry I didn't vote. I didn't really know what to choose.

Dude. It means your sex appeal is totally broad-based!

Haha! My ex boyfriend used to constantly get hit on by gay guys...in fact I always thought my boyfriend may have been gay or at least Bi...good thing it's over now :-D

totally normal!

Tmberman - You are a nob.

Man Up.

It's an incredibly cool experience, naturally. Really, it's the same experience as when a girl compliments you - the commenter is telling you, in both situations, that you are sexy and worth having. The fact that he's a guy just means that you won't return those feelings. A compliment is a compliment! :3

It happened to me several times. I took it as a compliment and even asked the guys why they thought I was attractive. I thought I could use this insight to get an "inside" with the ladies... Perhaps I should think again...

HAHAHHAHA Really normal :)
Same thing happened to me... many times.

its a good thing hunn...i get it all the time. take it as a compliment.

@smoothmikey78 yeah, I thought that the guy being gay meant that he would have higher standards of attractiveness, I guess I just never thought about myself that way. I was just worried I was somehow giving off a gay vibe or something. I must be getting more and more attractive because recently women I'd never thought would look twice at me have been flirting with me almost as soon as I step out of my house... Wierd...

it's flattering when it happens.

yea i get hit on by gays all the time and im straight, after a while the wird will get around and they dont go all out and ask you out

u could be bi or not

Kudos to you for being so cool about it. I have nothing against homosexuals but if that happened to me (as much as I'd hate to admit it) I'd be scared shitless at first. Lol
