If they are staring, just ignore. Women do that every day of their lives.

I think you may be more upset by the fact they they think you are gay. That's the problem you probably should work on.

Ain't any laws against looking. My favorite ex was a rather scary-looking biker - he would occasionally draw attention from gay men who are into the "bear" type. He just took it as further confirmation that he was a particularly outstanding specimen of manhood.

Sometimes I wish I were a lesbian...life would be easier.
On the same token, if I was gay, I'd be in paradise.

(A lot of men have been making passes lately )

Doesn't really feel that good to be hit on by every random with eyes, a hard on and a fancy pick up line, does it?

You're comparing a man hitting on a women, to a gay dude hitting on a straight guy? Really?

Any advice on what to do to prevent this? Or maybe its something on the way I dress that's giving off a false vibe to those people? I really don't know why this keeps happening to me but its getting annoying and one of these days I'm gonna end up cursing one of those guys out in front of everyone. That's how annoying this is starting to become.

Oh and please if ya gonna comment this, don't give me no stupid/dumb or irrelevant comments, if you're the one to comment BS I would prefer you keep your comments to yourself. Thanks
Just ignore them. Tell yourself that they are just wishing they looked as good as you do! They can probably tell that it makes you uncomfortable. I call this "bullying". And, as far as the way you dress, dressing differently does not discourage men from sexual harassing females so dress in what you want to wear. You don't need to change yourself. Hold your head up and turn away from their stares. Show confidence since people like this tend to pick on anyone that becomes self-conscious. So, it's not you, it is THEM! I can't stand people that harass others this way! Always remember that "you reap what you sow" and their turn will come.

Stop breaking out in dance every time you hear Ricky Martin's "Living la vida loca."

You may also want to consider that the straight men I know who are at ease with being hit on by gay men are also the same men that I know who tend to have women throwing themselves at them. Confidence and not allowing other people to define you can go a long way to causing other people to find you attractive. My scary biker ex, my middle-aged British friend and my younger hipster buddy who is a bit androgynous are all very at ease with who they are and they get hit on by men pretty frequently. They are also inundated by women to an embarrassing degree.

Please keep in mind also that gay men are MEN. Men are constantly looking. It's just what y'all do.

This is good advice. Also, never mention Diana Ross more than once in the same sentence.
