So, now that we are out, how do we date?

So, we have decided to accept we are gay. What does that really mean? I mean sex is really just a small part of who you are. You Sleep more time than you have sex. You are at your job more time than at your job. The thought came to me when I was driving. I was noticing guys I passed. If they looked back, I quickly looked away. So, it occurred to me that if it was a really pretty girl, a straight guy might not look away. Same thing in a non-driving situation. In a room, a guy sees a pretty girl, doesn't feel the least bit self conscience looking at her. She may be flattered, annoyed or just doesn't care. Same situation with a guy looking at a guy can and often has lead to fights. Even if it wasn't intended as a hookup. So my question is, how does one "look" ?  Or in the future, will we just all look at what interests us?  Will it become the norm for a guy to say "I'm flattered but not gay"  And we all just move on?  Personally, I can't see any other way for things to work once being gay is really accepted.  In fact, that may be how we know we have arrived.  How we have won the battle.  Of course that will change how we look at sports a bit.

I haven't worked with the software enough to know if this will work, but it is a really cute video.  And as someone who hated team sports, I love it.  Well, I have to get some sleep, tomorrow is another work day.  Thanks to JustaMike for his post on broken Gaydar, it was the inspiration for this.

  1. I like your point that "I'm flattered but not gay" will mean man to man attention will be acceptable by the greater society.

    We have certainly been programmed to look away instead of making eye contact with a man.

  2. Right about the programming. Funny, a woman can not only make eye contact, they can comment on looks etc.
    I have a feeling though that when it comes to being able to say the "I'm flattered etc" men will get there first. Not sure why, I just think that we will. Maybe because we do tend to jump into things easier when we change our attitudes.
