I'm straight (you have no idea!), work in a creative profession where I am around allot of gay co-worker men. So naturally, I've become good friends with many of them. Problem is, seems that I'm so people friendly, that they all think that it's okay to hit on me constantly. As if my just being cool/friendly with them is a come on. Or maybe they can't tell the difference.
It's starting to make me feel like I'd just be better off acting like a phobe, trashing the friendships, and be left alone. Half the time I feel like they're laying office bets down on who can score me first. I find this a bit insulting. They ask for respect for who they are, and I've given it to them, but they won't respect me for who I am, and cut out the sh!t. It burns me up sometimes.
And no, it's not flattering! It's annoying and arrogant!
No different from some straight assuming that gays can be "healed".
If this crap goes on, I'll just ditch I guess. Any similar experiences?
