like when a man is so afraid of possibly being perceived as gay that it's noticeable in his interactions with his male friends - two guys chillin in a hot tub five feet apart cuz they're not gay type vibe. immediately no if they're also weird about being around gay men who certainly are not interested in them.
on the other hand a man being a little gay with his friends is whatever the opposite of an ick is for me

yes agreed. this did remind me though that I don’t like men being flirty with their male friends and pretending like they aren’t

i feel like it makes them interact so poorly with women too. i was recently talking to someone about how some men’s (obnoxious) nonchalant-ness clearly comes from a fear of engaging in feminized traits (like caring, listening not just to talk, etc) and being perceived as gay, and it results in them being totally weird at best (asshole at worst)

This is one more for gay/bi men or any person who dates them. If being out in public or meeting together is a no no or if they have a wife you don’t need to be doing that mess
Let them sort themselves out and don’t chase or get involved because it’s not as exhilarating or fulfilling as you would expect
More broadly applied to any gender or sexuality - avoid anyone with a great deal of shame regarding being around you

Ngl I get jealous of gay people a lot they just seem to be having more fun, are more interesting people on average, and get to avoid the constant stress of men and women not understanding each other or getting along. Unfortunately I’m not gay myself though But it seems better Tbh. (Please don’t take this the wrong way!)
