What does it mean if people say you look gay?

[Anonymous]

I’m a slim 6’4 heterosexual male , tattoos, good sense of style and Good hygiene. I don’t know if it’s my facial features but I have high cheekbones and some women call me cute but I get told I look gay by women also. I’ve been told I look gay by straight men as an insult or call me handsome “squid ward”, gay guys constantly hit on me which is annoying asf. I’ve heard high cheekbones are a feminine feature so does that mean my my face could look feminine.

It's probably cause you haven't found the right person you tend to take by heart everything that others said to you. Don't forget we live in a society full of standards and categories. By categories I mean people categorizing others by their appearance. Like in your case because you have a certain style people mistake you for something you are not. As an advice be patient and the right person will come.

What people consider to be gay 😒

- having a good fashion style that is pretty and doesn't look like it's been chosen last minute
- not smelling like you haven't taken a bath for months
- being beautiful even though your male
- having a sweet personality

ALL IN ALL, THOSE STRAIGHT GUYS ARE JUST JEALOUSE THAT THERE IS A GUY WHO IS ACTUALLY BEAUTIFUL. AND THEY TRY TO BOOST THEIR OWN SELF ESTEEM BY CALLING YOU GAY.

You don't look what society considers Masculine but Feminine

Sadly looking after your hygiene and general taking care on appearance isn't classed as Masculine due to society toxic views on it.

High cheek bones are sighs of strength and maturity and are actually a Masculine feature.

Personally it sounds of jealousy on how you look

I take it as i look pretty which I consider an insult despite the fact that I look like a male version of my mom I don’t like looking so unkempt all the time but I know if I put effort into my appearance people will tell me I look gay also I haven’t had a hair cut in almost 10 years

You likely have feminine looks and also mannerisms.

[Asker]

Don’t have feminine mannerisms at all most the time they say I look gay if it’s like a Facebook debate or post people a lot of women will say I look gay as an insult but oh well

You’re fine, just enjoy the female attention when it’s there. 6’ 4” is a great height for getting girls. Guys saying you look gay is probably them just being hopeful since you might be a league above them.

I have high cheek bones and it doesn’t mean anything. You just look “gay” sorry. Try growing out your facial hair. And stop walking like a pansy.

Don’t trim your eyebrows too. I used to do that, and I looked horrible. Just let them grow naturally. And get a haircut too. Long hair makes any guy look ugly and feminine.

I have a beard facial hair but noted

[Asker]

I don’t touch my eyebrows they’re natural

[Opinion Owner]

Oh yeah. What you wear plays a big part in it. Don’t wear skinny tight fit jeans. Or don’t wear polka dots.

[Opinion Owner]

Don’t put nail polish on. That’s super “gay” for a straight guy to do that. And wear normal sunglasses, not those bulky bright colored ones.

[Seanken199]

Usually if a guy says it to another straight guy, he's jealous and envious of his appearance.

[WhitneySnow]

They probably mean you look feminine

[Asker]

You’re probably wrong but ok
