Guys: do you get offended if a woman asks if you’re gay? (Page 2)

Question

There is a guy at work that is very outgoing, handsome and yet he is very shy with women. So today my coworker who happens to like him, she asked him “so Josh, are you gay? Bi? Or you like gals?”. He was shocked and I’m not sure if offended but his attitude and facial expressions changed. He ended up saying he is straight. But his attitude changed completely as if he was offended. It’s not the first time I notice this in men when they get asked this question. So why do some guys get offended?

Screenwriter · Answer

For a straight guy might be an affront to his appearing "masculine."

Freyke · Answer

No I'd laugh to be honest. I can do a few accents and a friend asked if I was gay because apparently I nailed the stereotypical accent.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Not at all.. I just laugh and ask how they came to that conclusion :D

Anonymous · Answer

The only times I've been asked that were when I wasn't showing interest to some chick who thinks she's hot shit. My favorite response is "No. I'm flattered you're interested, but I don't swing that way. Sorry."

Pudsmucker · Answer

Is it because he doesn't like using vulgar language? He was brought up to treat women with great respect? Maybe he likes to be stylish. And lastly he may have a house full of sisters.

UniquelyBasic · Answer

I've never been asked if I was gay so I dont know how I would feel if someone asked me.

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

Usually undesirable women make assumptions and ask such questions.

Anonymous · Answer

It's a little because you asking implies that YOU think that, so if it's untrue, what makes you think that you know? lol Kind of like asking a fat woman if she's pregnant I think?

HighValue · Answer

Asking a guy that implies that he is less of a man, not manly, a sissy, etc.

TwiNshichamp1 · Answer

It seems he is a coworker and a friend at the same time. Don't expect anything romantic relationship with him. But it also depends on you two.

anylolone · Answer

Yes, because it almost always is with arrogance and malice. Gay men usually aren't shy with women.

nudeNhorny · Answer

I've been asked that before, to be honest I was shocked too and couldn't help but get a little offended as well, but the thing that I couldn't explain is why the hell I got a little hard 😅

TallAnon · Answer

I would think something is wrong with your head 😂 Nothing about me should give that impression. About 1 in 30 men are gay/bisexual, it's pretty unlikely.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

Oh yeah yeah. Absolutely. It makes me wonder why she thinks that.

Hairylegs222 · Answer

Shouldn't ask that question. Bad move. I wouldn't like it either. I'd never ask if a woman is gay.

altdbob · Answer

So, would you get offended if someone asked if you were batting for the other side, gay, lesbian, muff diver?

Women use to get all made because guys would not show their emotions. Now that they do you don't understand it?

snackthatsmilesback · Answer

Usually they ask cause they think he's feminine. And that's usually taken as an insult.

Zeus_66 · Answer

Never been asked that question by a woman. And I doubt I ever will.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

Not offended, but I would be extremely surprised she asked.

Juxtapose · Answer

It is a let downer to hear because she is essentially admitting she never considered you as a prospect because you're too feminine.

altaboy · Answer

I have been more embarrassed than offended. It means to me that I am not attractive to her, if I was interested.

Anonymous · Answer

Jesus fucking Christ if you have to ask why you’re too dense to know. Fucking hell.

hafinjun · Answer

Actually no in fact if I'm going to be with her I make sure she knows I'm bi to begin with, saves a lot of argument and fighting later

Surely · Answer

I would say that I was, but would like therapy from a woman to become straight. Then ask if she would help me!

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah I guess most guys would if they are straight because they wonder why you would think that, I’ve never been asked that so I don’t know how I would take it, she probably asked it because he doesn’t flirt with women

Justneedtokno · Answer

No sometimes I take it as a compliment but I’m not looking in that direction truly

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

Why would a woman asks me if i'm gay? If she does than i'll ask her if she's a lesbian...

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah it is a pretty cunt thing to say. Like asking a fat female if she is pregnant.

WraithRogue04 · Answer

Its far more common for women to be LGBTQ than men. It is likely a guy will get offended if you just randomly ask that.

kd5zes · Answer

I was asked that once years by a rather obnoxious wimmin. "You mean, am I a faggot?", I asked. The shocked look on her face was priceless.

Anonymous · Answer

Some men are insecure homophobes, so you can touch a nerve when you ask that.

Noodle_fan · Answer

Vivaldi · Answer

Why would she even ask? It may be 1 percent of the total male population. It is a very low possibility.

H8INCHES · Answer

It's probably more like she ask the question because he hasn't ask her out and she's butt hurt about it.

Anonymous · Answer

Of course it's offensive and hurtful. You're essentially saying "you don't seem masculine enough to be straight".

Anonymous · Answer

No, I'm asexual and it comes with that territory if you aren't leering at their chests or checking out their asses

Invader91 · Answer

It doesn't bother me. Girls have asked me that before. I just tell them I'm bisexual.

Tstrbrainer · Answer

Some guys do, it is not always the best question to ask a straight guy

Kaiserslautern · Answer

They get offended because most men are straight unlike most women who are bisexual.

RandomGuy1030 · Answer

Its like asking if someones retarded. Same feelings involved.

Anonymous · Answer

Only if I thought it was a deliberate slight. If it happened I would most likely laugh.

Anonymous · Answer

I've never been profiled or suspected to be gay. If I'm ever asked by anyone if I'm gay, I will get offended.

No one should ask that. Even if he's gay which I doubt he is it's still nobody's business.
