“I’m looking for men who aren’t trash” what’s that mean?

Pardon me?! ... My nephew's sexual orientation is questioned because he has female friends?
There is certainly nothing wrong with being gay, but gay he is not. Neither is he religious.

He considers himself lucky to have female friends because he knows that those relationships will (statistically and realistically) last longer than any romantic relationship begun at his age, and because friendships seldom lead to heartbreak for either party. He's at the age where he is still finding himself, let alone finding a long term girlfriend. He knows that's important and precludes other relationships.

He has a very sad life story (he's adopted, did terribly in school and has never had an easy life), but he works his butt off and refuses to take help from the family. He has worked around the world always starting at the lowest possible paying jobs and working his way up with diligence. He has been homeless (staying with friends here and there), and even lived in an ambulance but he is resilient and keeps striving for his goals (which are now coming true). He has had a few girlfriends but the love of his life is in Australia, and he hasn't seen her in two years. He suffers much the same depression or anxiety that you do but he is realistic about improving himself and never afraid of hard work or change. He takes risks to have a fun and interesting life, and treasures his friends both male and female along the way.

It's not because of that, silly; but because he rejected hurtloam and all her friends. Guys rarely get asked/approached by women , you know.

There's nothing wrong in being gay. If you were my girlfriend and keep misinterpreting me like that even I may turn gay.

^ crossed wires

Example 1:
Emma: I can't wait for the weekend
Joe: Freedom at last! Next year I'm going travelling
Emma: We're throwing a party for our graduation
Joe: I'm gonna hitchhike around Europe
Emma: Everyone is invited. Hope they all come.
Joe: London Paris and Rome here I come!
Emma: You are coming aren't you?
Joe: Wanna come with me?
Emma: Crossed wires!

^ Yes

I don't believe your religious/gay comment was directed at Isabella but at Hurtloam

Am I right ? Or shall I get my coat

Ah you're smart, that makes Isabella's sin even greater by not understanding the Forum Quotes' etiquette.

I didn't mean every woman has a partner. I was trying to prove to Sly that the existence of single men means there must also be single men. Probably the roughly the same number of each.

Hurtloam referred to two guys. I referred to one. Boo's comment was about "he" (singular).

Neither my nephew nor any person should have their orientation questioned just because they have female friends.

Also, I dare The _ Face _ of _ Boo to call me "silly" again.

Believe I know some women who'd love to retire. They have work so they can eat and pay the bills.

They may not want to be judged based on their weight but they're certainly judging themselves based on their weight. Even if no man comments on their weight, that won't silence their inner critic. Anyway, how many women have called you fat?

I'll get my coat

Hang on. Now I sin, in addition to being silly? Just clarifying.

Oops...




That's not why I questioned hurtloam's friends, but because they rejected all the women who showed interest in them.

I am afraid you'll need a full body armor.

Ever since my late teens, I've had quite a few female friends. They knew I was straight....and they set firm boundaries.

I was trusted enough to go skinny-dipping with a lesbian in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. She knew I would keep my hands off of her.

By the way, I didn't have my license at the time---so she did all the driving.

Virtually all my friends have been male, as well. I went skinny dipping with guys and girls together, with no issues either.

I didn't have to set boundaries because gentlemen know what is and is not appropriate. Friendship between genders doesn't have to be a consolation prize. Quite often it's more enduring than any romantic scenario could hope to be.

When I use the term rejected I'm maybe being dramatic. You can be rejected in the sense that you know fine well your acquaintance has zero attraction to you or interest in getting to know you better in a dating sense.

And they've deemed the women we know together, mutually, to be undatable, not all women. One turned up with a date once and I was like, "wow, he does have an interest in women!" She dumped him. He then started seeing someone else, but that didn't work out either. But still. None of our mutual acquaintances are good enough for him.
