Ask me about meeting my first gay American

I hate to tell you this dude, but you have probably met many more gay guys then you think.

Yeah, sure, but they haven't been American. I haven't met many American guys full stop - the ones I did were on my grad programme, and they were all straight. So this was a first.

So did you have a laptop watching all the high stakes games to keep us updated?

Sadly not - we were in a park. Maybe I could have got wireless, though.

I did see gay American guy was playing a variant of gin rummy, where most of the cards are face up, with one of the girls. Sadly I can't report on the scores, but I think he was winning.

I didn't spend that long talking to him, but did go with him and one of the girls to buy cigarettes and wine. He told me he was reading Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisted, which he called "a gay book." The girl said "You're just saying that because you're gay". I said "It's hardly a gay book, it's not exactly Edmund White or Christopher Isherwood." I wondered if I had displayed too much knowledge - no I am not gay myself, but I've read quite a lot of the authors and, before I grew old and fat, was often mistaken (both by girls, and by gay guys) as gay myself.

I liked him, but suppose felt slightly envious of his charm, confidence, easy way with women (even though, to him, that didn't matter).

Well, we did talk about Florence, a city where he studied and which I've visited - I guess that's a pretty gay conversation.

I do feel mildly uncomfortable around gay guys because I think "Maybe they think I'm gay?" and "Maybe I ought to be", but I think that's just a way of rationalising my failed heterosexuality. I'm 29 years old, I beat off exclusively to women. My laptop is full of straight porn. I don't fantasise about guys AT ALL, have never had a crush on a guy, have never done anything sexual whatsoever with a guy. If I was gay, I would feel attracted to the same sex and have urges to do something about it. But I don't.

I haven't got laid in like two years, and that was a one-night-stand with a girl I met through the same crowd. I'm dependent on porno and strippers; my social life is usually non-existent and I just don't meet girls that often, or make any effort to. I tend to fall in love with girls then screw it up and never get anywhere beyond friendship, but spend years convinced we should be together and dreaming about them. More recently I've just been stuck in the unrewarding routine of over-eating, jacking off, staying home. But that makes me a straight loser, not a repressed gay guy.

No, no I didn't.

Did you ask him if he could take an airplane in a fight??

[/ QUOTE ]


I expect he would have crushed the airplane with an archly-delivered withering put-down.

You are British right? Do you guys think American males are more masculine an average? I know many people here think Britsh (and European men in general) are more feminine. I lived in Germany for a bit and I remember seeing guys doing things that only chicks would do here like dancing in a group together. Also if you are British and decent looking you could get laid like crazy in the US. You should make that a priority.

There's always the assumption that that is the case. It was even part of the story in 'Love Actually' American women are considered easy over here. However I confess that I don't know anyone first hand who went over to the US and scored like crazy. I did however know an American bloke (21) who came over here and thought getting laid was virtually impossible.

I would only dance with a group of guys for something sport related.

it's not that American women are easy, it's that they love English accents.
