Thank you gay men for being in such supply that a large number of straight women think any straight man, including myself, will do. I<i>\u00a0<\/i>wear my\u00a0<em>Rawhide<\/em> t-shirt with pride. Just not in public. I have very delicate features.<\/p>\n<p>On this, my third go round in the world of online dating, I&#8217;ve transitioned out of women that complain about the lack of straight men to women that tell me they might be a lesbian. This has not been a defense mechanism to stop an unwanted physical advance, I think too many men would see that as a challenge, but as a confession. Here is a breakdown of how this has happened.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">The first time my date arrived late, drunk and reeking of garlic. After hello she wanted to talk about her childhood gender identity issues. We made out. I already wrote that I&#8217;m delicate, like a girl.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>The second time I thought the date was going well. She arrived sober, playful and interesting. Then she told me about how her mother and aunt asked if she were a lesbian, how her college roommate, a married lesbian, asked if she were a lesbian. I asked her if she was lesbian. She took time to think about this before answering no. I look forward to our divorce due to\u00a0irreconcilable\u00a0differences.<\/li>\n<li>The third time the woman asked me if I&#8217;d fuck a man. OK. She probably wasn&#8217;t a lesbian but she wasn&#8217;t convinced about my sexuality. Probably because I&#8217;m delicate. Delicate looking. I&#8217;ll cut a motherfucker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There you have it. With a data point of two I can only conclude that due to my delicate features I am the gateway drug for potential lesbians. Lucky me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had my share of dates where women will complain that only gay men are available to date. &#8220;There&#8217;s no straight men left.&#8221; And more than once I&#8217;ve taken this as a verbal clue to prove them wrong.
