I worked with a guy with so many feminine traits that I just assumed he was gay. Didn't care, I just assumed that.

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I met his wife and two daughters. He had been married 30+ years.

Fast forward...he becomes friends with a flaming gay guy (don't get sensitive, you know what I'm talking about) Nice guy to hang out with.
Next thing we know, my friend is leaving his wife and moving in with the flaming guy.
Yup...my friend was gay all along. He asked me why I didn't tell him earlier. I said...and what?? ruin the surprise?

Their both happy so that's what matters.

To be honest, no I would probably tease him and perhaps tell him to be more discreet so he doesn't look pervy but for ME, I am comfortable in my own skin and don't feel threatened or anything. Sometimes though you see someone so completely stunning that you can lose control of discretion.

Yeah....if there is no relationship between you and him, you shouldn't feel threatened. But women do. I never get threatened when someone, be it my friend or girlfriend or wife looks at a man in front of me. Big deal. Now if he tries to talk to her, which has happened, it's on.

I think its really a respect thing.....It doesn't really matter wether your in a relationship with somone or not it's just about how you choose to carry yourself in public......walking down the street obviously oggling girls makes you look trashy IMO.....I guess it also depends on age too.....you kinda expect to see 16ish year olds doing it as they are somewhat new to the sometimes overwhelming rage of hormones but when you see a 40 year old man doing it.........that just shows no class.....again, IMO

I check out guys all the time. They don't seem to mind. Why is that trashy?

I am not attracted to feminine men at all.

I do not want my man blatantly cheking out other women when we are together. I think that's rude and disrespectful. Luckily he doesn't do that.

I'm very attracted to feminine men. Someone actually suggested to me that as far as guys go, the feminine ones are my "type." I'm also attracted to very feminine women, so there's a pattern, I guess? lol

A lot of times when I'm attracted to a guy, I wind up finding out he's gay. Of course feminine guys are not always gay...I just have terrible luck!
