Considering it's happened more than once in my life and I wasn't offended. I don't see that changing lol. I just find it odd when someone does. The only time I kind of understood is when it was me, a female friend and a gay guy friend of mine hanging out at a bar and the girl left to the bathroom multiple times that night. So me and Cam were chatting people up a lot and he is very obviously gay. I put some level of care into my appearance, so in that situation I could see how someone might think that because I'd be in the realm of believability as the masculine gay guy in the couple xD.
Not really, people think all kinds of things. Sadly our society is full of people with these defects, nothing is being done to protect society from this and nothing is being done to find any kind of treatment or prevention. Instead Marxists are promoting this behavior as normal as way of getting homosexuals and others to fight for their cause. It's all a sorry mess right now and "LGBT" are everywhere. Being mistaken for one isn't surprising especially given the number of Marxist people who can't really sense reality in the first place.
No not really. People confuse my sexuality all the time. I’m straight, but people often times assume I’m gay or bi. I completely understand why they jump to that conclusion. I hang out with dudes, and I wear boys clothes a lot, and I’m typically very open minded and adventurous when it comes to most things so I think everyone just assumes that I’m a dyke. But I’m just straight.
I was offended when these ex friends of mine knew I wasn't gay I mean I hooked up with a guy with them around, and yet the kept saying I should be gay and how much better it would be I couldn't imagine touching a women like ever I think it's gross and yet they kept on and on about it

I don't have that kind of time to be offended!
I used to get a lot of that when I was a teenager. I was very withdrawn, and didn't even talk to girls, because I simply didn't know what to say to them. Everybody assumed I was a closet gay, or something. Even if I told them I wasn't, they just wouldn't believe me. I used to get called 'faggot' or 'fairy boy'. Years later, I did a lot of growing up, broke out of a lot of shells, and I've been married for over 30 years. We have two grown children. If anyone calls me gay now, I really wouldn't care.
I wouldn't be offended unless maybe they continued to suggest it or hit on me after I correct them. Then either they think I'm a liar or know I'm not attracted to them and still think it's fine to try and push me. I've only had that happen once though, and I think they only kept going because their friends were with them and I was by myself. When one of my friends from work who happened to be heading home at that time cut in with a lot more colorful language than I'd been using, they finally backed off. I didn't like it, and I was fairly offended by the time it was over because of their language and how they kept getting more aggressive about it. But if you actually just back off when told you were mistaken then I see no reason to be offended by that.
I wouldn't be offended. I would be confused at first, and if the person kept on saying it then it becomes annoying. One of my co-workers is hell bent on me and one of my male bosses both being gay. Not with each other, but individually gay. Yet, at the same time, this same co-worker swears that I am in love with a woman we both know. And I'm like, so, if I'm gay how can I be in love with so-and-so? And she's like you can be both. I said, "No, that would make me bi not gay... I'm not bi either, but you can't go around swearing up and down that I'm gay and in the same breath swear up and down that I am in love with a woman."
People have all kinds of ideas about how "straight" people should act or how "gay" or "bi" or "trans" people should act. You never know how someone was raised or what they base their opinions on. You might ask them why they thought so and correct them on their misapprehension.
People have all kinds of ideas about how "straight" ---------------- Who are the people? You aren't people? If a girl claims she is straight but makeout with another girls, perform oral sex, aroused by seeing female masturbation then we should believe that she is 10000% straight? That's why people
("except you") straight people shouldn't act like that :)
@SoniaPinky I got the impression this wasn't about someone who performed a sexual act on someone or was watching and revealed being turned on by porn that would reveal an attraction to whatever sex they didn't declare as the one they're attracted to. I thought we were talking about how someone spoke or carried themselves. If we're talking about actions, that's a different issue, I believe.
If someone I didn't like said this, then it would be justification for not liking them, if someone I liked said it, it could lead to an interesting conversation, best of all if it was a female friend who would love to watch her guy get sucked off by another guy, maybe that sounds weird but at 56 years young I'm well past worrying about what others think, and if it's not premature Merry Christmas!!!
No but I've had people think I had a foot fetish. I fixed that shit quick man feet are nasty. I told a girl to stop calling me daddy cause it's not my thing I think of my daddy and it doesn't turn me in... she responded with nudes in which they did the trick
I literally won't be offended if someone thinks I'm into the opposite of my sexual preference. But I would be curious about what makes them think that.
And it would been different if someone was trying to roast meh. I literally won't take anything they would say including my sexuality.
: )
Well I love men. On top of that I only love the manliest alpha men, you know cavemen. I’ve not problem being with a chauvinist, I want a man who makes me feel dainty and feminine. My biggest turn off is a bit of femininity in men. If someone assumed I liked women I’d be super shocked.
cavemen are the manliest men?
I mean if your a straight male but everyone thinks yout gay, including straight women, it kind of ruins your chances of asking them out since the expectation of you being attracted to them never arises and therefor they may never develope the same feelings for you.
I've been through this. I'm 29 and a kissless virgin with no more desire to find a girl in my life. So people (even my parents) have thought I was gay. I was angry and disgusted at first but grew to not care. Think what you want. I know who I am and that's what matters.
Took a second to digest basically if someone thought I was gay - Nah, life is too short to get caught up in things like that - Possibly might be interested as to why they thought it for pure curiosity but absolutely no offence.
Wouldn't really care. Even now when people here or wherever may call me gay, I just shrug and say "It isn't a crime. I didn't realise it was so bad to be gay."
Not like these people know me or anything.
A bit... im tall and slim, most times there are petite girls who think im into them, but im into fat chicks... by the way, if you see me outside in a club or bar, make sure there isn't a band playing there, because, if, im just there for the music and have no interest in flirting or so...
When I was younger, kids at school thought I was gay for some reason. At the time i would be so worried and scared about that, but today if someone assumed I was gay i wouldn't care too much. I'd just correct them mayhe ask them what made them come to that conclusion and go about my day
I select "other" and here's why:
All my life I have been mistaken for a female. I've never understood it, and it makes no sense to me.
As such, if I wasn't being accused of being female, I was being accused, just as falsely, of having a preference for men.
That being said, I am a heterosexual man. I prefer women, exclusively.
@nopedydoo the hair has nothing to do with it.
Over the past 20 years, since 1999, I have grown it long and shaved my head bald 5 times. It never made any difference.
As for facial hair... I'm Native American... so what little does grow is in patches, and the hairs are nearly as thick as a cacti needle... it's really unpleasant because the hairs on my face and neck are thicker than the pores they grow out of, and it grows very slowly... so slowly, that I only shave once a month. After 3-4 weeks the hairs stretching out the pores drives me up a wall to the point of making me want to claw my flesh off just to make it stop... so that is when I have my monthly shave.
@nopedydoo as for "societal norms"... I could care less because the majority of "Societal Norms" are a steaming pile of roadapples to begin with!
Garbage In, Garbage Out...
I do have a habit of being non-conformistic by nature...
I get it quite frequently. I'm straight, but often taken for gay. One gay friend said I fly in under the gaydar. I've concluded that because I'm fairly secure in myself I don't make the effort to be macho that insecure guys do. I am certainly not offended, especially when they buy me drinks in pubs 😉
Interestingly, it doesn't seem to be a problem for women either. If anything, it makes them more relaxed when we start chatting.
If someone thought I take care of myself so good I'm gay I would be proud of myself because I have no motivation in my looks as far as clothes and hair so I'd be damn proud of myself
I wouldn't be offended if someone liked me of a different orientation. It's a compliment I wouldn't reciprocate.
Guys have thought I've been gay or hoped I was quite a few times probably because I have a very young look and at times I've had longer hair.
I don't care, at least I know there are some that find me attractive :)
Yes, I would be offended if someone thought I was gay instead of straight.
If a girl makeout with another girls, perform oral sex, aroused by seeing female masturbation and claims she is straight so should we call her straight?
virgin girls and nuns never have sex, but it doesn't mean they are asexual, it's abstinence.
@SoniaPinky I've neither done those things, nor wanted to do them, nor fantasized about them. It's more than just abstinence from them. I have no sexual interest in women. So again, these things don't apply to me. And you're getting further and further away from what this question is asking. Your mind's wanderings are way too irrelevant. Go look up some lesbian porn since you're so obsessed with that. You're not going to find what you're looking for from me.
I don't understand why you would be offended by it. Sometimes, you just give off vibes to people that they can misinterpret. It happens. We are human. We are fallible.
Yes. There's no excuse for people to assume people rather choose a sexuality of homosexuality or bisexuality over heterosexuality. We should our sexual paths and our spiritual paths. They do not choose us. We choose them.
I get accused of it because I remove my body hair. Whatever. Keep buying the girls those drinks. I will swoop in and grab one soon enough.
It wouldn't bother me in the slightless.
What makes me laugh is when people think they're insulting me by doing it.
I don't see a reason to get offended over something so small. We have bigger things to be offended about in this world we live in.
not "offended" xD i'd just wonder if i did something wrong to make them assume i may be interested in the opposite of my sexual preference xD
You are straight by default
It's up for you to tell me or give ke time to find out
It happens. It isn't as bad as actually being hit on by another dude. I'm chill, but I'm not that chill. I'm like come on man, really? Just because it is 2019 doesn't anything goes. Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Being offended is for bitches.
Also, I am bi so I guess they would have to accuse me "asexual" or some bs.
Number of women I have got to know think I'm gay. Im not , it has helped because they are so relaxed in my company and we talk about anything...
Someone asked me if I had a girlfriend and I said no. Then they loudly exclaimed among a group of people, "Why, are you gay?" That seemed odd.
I know who I am and what i believe, people who know me know aswell. If someone thinks someone thinks otherwise. It's ok
I will be slightly offended, but I I have learned people are going to talk and think whatever they want and you can't control it. Just move on.
I think if that happened I would have to take a good hard look on my life. Then I would start flirting or asking out random girls for "flings" little extreme but it would work
Happens to me a lot. I don't mind, I just correct them and move on.
Only people who are uncertain about their sexuality, and therefore unstable, would be offended.
I use to be offended because I have a soft voice and walk like a girl but not gay. So when people meet me they assume I am gay
Well, as the same thing has happened to me, just gently put it out there that you're not. Word will get around. Kisses!
No it happens all the time with me and my best friend, probably coz we don't date a lot of girls
Nah not really.
I'm bi-curious anyway.
People presume I'm straight because it's the norm so I'm not offended if someone thinks I'm straight
No, since there's nothing offensive about it.
i don't chase women and if someone though i was gay it would make me self aware of that and i'd be pissed
Nah when people see me they pretty much know I'm straight without even getting to know me
I’d be like “the fuck I ain’t gay”
Depends on what makes them think that.
Yeah. I'd have to choke them.
No I don't care, my own preference changes anw
What does a lesbian look like?
Not necessarily what they look like but how they act or portray themselves. For example, being way more touchy with their girl friends than what others are, which is entirely dependent on the home you were raised in, or even if someone had mentioned having a girl best friend and others just thought they were dating from how she talked.
Congrats
You're 15 though?
No, because I know what my preference is
I’d be confused because I’m straight
I wouldn’t care
I'm bi, so...
I probably would a little
i smile ☺
No I don't care
You worry too much.
If someone thought I was gay?
Nope
nope
