Would You Date a "Straight" Person?

Post Reply New Topic

Would you date a non-transgendered, purely androtropic female or a non-transgendered, purely gynotropic male if you knew that he or she would never be interested in dating anyone who was transgendered, a gynotropic female, an androtropic male, or an ambi-tropic anything?


NOTE: I dislike the use of the word "Straight" to describe a heterosexual person because the word carries the implication that non-heterosexuals are somehow "Bent", "Crooked", "Deviant", or some similar.

That question makes no sense here. Literally, it makes no sense, because this forum is for LGBT individuals. A gay person, obviously, may be interested in dating someone who is straight, but because that person is straight, they would not reciprocate the feelings. A bisexual person could well fall in love with someone who is straight and of the opposite sex, but you've ruled that out in the OP. A transgendered person probably wouldn't date someone who's opposed to dating them.

You're point?

I thought of putting it in the Adult section, and even wrote the post and poll there first. Then I realized that the forum is titled "Adult Autism Issues", and decided that the most relevant forum was actually this one.

A simple counterpoint to the "Would You Date a Transexual?" thread; nothing more.

Although I did include the "... please tell Fnord..." option to appease those who might react negatively to this thread.

Well yeah I've dated plenty of straight males...but I wouldn't date a straight female because she wouldn't be interested in me...I don't get what you are asking.

Probably not, I'm lucky enough not to be attracted to straight girls. Even if I turn out to be bi, I probably wouldn't date a straight guy. The way they fetishize queer women really turns me off. If I do end up dating a straight guy we would probably be friends for a while and I would make sure he is not attracted to me because of my sexual orientation.

I don't see myself ever dating anyone.

surely the only coutnerpoint to 'would you date a transsexual' would be, 'would you date a cisgender'. Because sexuality and gender identity are not really linked, as in there are they're independent of each other being trans doesn't mean you can't be straight. gender identity is the gender you are, sexuality is the gender(s) you want to date/have intercourse with.

i have dated straight girls before but it hasn't worked out. in my experience there are few straight women who are okay with bisexual men. my mother has summed it up to me as a disgust with anal intercourse, but that makes no sense to me because not every bi man/gay man has intercourse that way. there's a significant proportion of us who do not.

i'm in a long term committed relationship with another bi man. a persons sexuality isnt important for determining whether or not Id be attracted to them, but rather they to me. I wouldnt want to date someone who wasn't attracted to me. so if a heterosexual man is attracted to me, sure maybe we could give it a go if I also was attracted to him, but then really how heterosexual would he really be. Not very.

This.

WTF, Fnord?

Even if I were interested in dating them, it would be totally pointless because they would be uncomfortable with dating me.

While in a way I do understand your logic for choosing this forum, this is ultimately a very odd thread to post here.

I've dated a "straight" guy and would do it again. They're so worried about doing things right and making sure you're happy. At least while fooling around. There is one thing I would do different. I would establish rules for the date. No phones unless it were an absolute emergency and their wife or girlfriend has to know about me if they want to go out or more. I do not want to be the reason a marriage/relationship breaks up.

Yes. I dont think Sexuality is as black and white as it seems, even a coin has an edge. Not just two sides, in my experience Society has made absolutely everything an issue. Thus, I think confusing our minds into thinking you have just got to be one way or another, when in reality a area of grey exists.
