Nerve Dating Confessions

January 27, 10:58AM Gay guys make the best companions. With them I feel the most unconditional acceptance, love and support. The kind that is not available with straight men in my experience. For that reason gay men are my world, and I don't think I'll bother with any other kind of man until proven otherwise. CAN RELATE (7) CAN'T RELATE (8) FLAG FOR ABUSE

I'm happy for you. My brother is gay, toxically angry, manipulative, vain, judgmental. I'm trying my best to be a supportive person in his life but trying to be kind to a toxic person is very tricky. Glad to hear your experience has been different.

i know girls like you. you treat gay guys like a pet, or a surrogate boyfriend sans the fucking but with added emotional baggage because you're too afraid of getting hurt by what you really want. if you're using gay guys for those reasons then i suggest you get other friends. ask yourself, what do you offer them in return?

If you're THAT into gay guys, don't worry; no straight man will bother with you.

Fag hags are damaged goods.

Hahahaha! What an unexpected response. You guys sure are projecting and assuming a lot! You needn't feel so threatened and bitter. Actually I feel bad for you, no one who is happy quite jumps like that. Especially towards strangers on the internet. I suppose as you've made a lot of assumptions, I'll say in my life I have a very wide variety of friends. These include men, women, transgendered, straight, gay, lesbian, and I try to make time for all of them. I am a very giving person to anyone I care about and call friend, and I don't expect anything in return. I find some people give back, a lot don't. Straight women offer the most emotional support, whereas straight men fall into that least giving category most. They are the ones interestingly that come to me most however, to talk, get advice and support, they ask me to hang out a lot. I give support to anyone I think I can be of use to. Sometimes it gets very selfish and it drains me a little, but I try to go on. What spurred me on with this confession was I spent the evening with a group of gay guys who I hadn't seen in awhile, and I was reminded of what unconditional support they give. I do that for them too, we are on equal footing in what we give to each other, and that sort of give and take is very soul enriching. So though I have lately been single, I have also been asked out and hit on. And to be honest, the free flowing give and take I was reminded of made me feel that if I were to be with only one person, then as opposed to my friendships, give and take is something I require. But I have seldom found that. The fault may lie with me. Until then I will seek out my beautiful gay friends more often, as I feel so good and free and happy in their company. No other group gives that like them. I'm pretty crazy about them as people. In our evening we talked deeply, frivolously, intellectually, we laughed so much, danced, hugged a lot and the next day a couple sent me a text to say they had a great night with me. If by the end of this you still believe what you believe that is okay. I will go on with my life and genuinely hope the best for you wherever you are and are at in your life.
