If a straight man knows he is straight then why does he feel threatened?

I don't feel intimidated, but I'm always confused about rules of behavior, I know how to relate to a woman that could consider me a possible sexual object, even if the feeling is not mutual, but I don't know how to relate to a man that might consider me a possible sexual object, even if the feeling is not mutual.

Intimidated? No, hell no. Usually, I think to myself, "Why God, why did you make this man straight? If he were just a little bit smarter, and either gay or bi, I could really have some fun." There are SO MANY attractive straight men in this world, but they are too unintelligent to realize that they are wasting their time with heterosexual relationships.

I've been called a "hag" many times by my gay friends, so I'll give this a go even though I have boobs and no...yeah.
Straight men aren't always intimidated by gay men, but if they are it's because:
1) They fear the unknown.
2) They have never met a gay guy before (I love those scenarios...seeing the guy fidget and not know what to say...don't look them in the eye...like they are going to pounce or something...HILARIOUS!)
3) Are brought up to believe it's wrong, but are too scared to say it to their face.
4) Afraid that they might get molested (this is so true..and you all know it!) or hit on. Trust that if you are straight, they know. If they hit on you, they are either getting a reading on the gaydar, or they are screwing with your head.
5) The gay man is so PRETTY!!! :)
6) They aren't really straight.
So, which one are ya!? :)
Oh! DUH! Thanks Joeygirl! I totally forgot that one!!
7) Think that homosexuality is contagious.
And finally...
8) They are a bigot.

I'm straight . Gay guys don't intimidate me. If they keep hitting on me ( only happened once ) after I tell that I'm not interested, then I get a little irritated, not intimidated.

I think their discomfort is related to two things: I believe that some straight men are uncomfortable with sexuality in general; I also believe that many straight men simply don't feel they know "how to act" around a gay man.

Perhaps they're scared straight! Seriously, everyone deserves to be who they want to be, and everyone owes it to themselves to REALLY figure out what makes them happy.
You don't have to "experiment" or anything, just give your lifestyle serious thought and do what feels right. That way, you get over the fear of the unknown (which I think is half the anti-gay mindset).
If you're really straight, you'll find that out and be more confident in your orientation, and might just be more at ease with other people's life choices.

Because the "straight" man doesn't have his thinking straight when putting down gay people. Therefore, those who oppose homosexuality are much less straight than gay people.

Some men know that there is a predatory tendency in males and are made uneasy when in the presence of someone who might consider =them= the object of such predation. It is akin to the same anxiety some men feel around over-sexually-agressive women. We are usually more at ease being in charge.

Not all straight men are like that. My fiance and I are good friends with several gay men and my fiance is not in the least intimidated by them. He doesnt' like the thought of what they do when we leave....lol....but he doesn't avoid their friendship with us either.
