Do Neurotypicals DO this?

It's funny how much homophobia something like this can trigger -- e.g., "I don't, I'm not gay!! !" types of responses.

Here's the thing -- I very much can recognize when other men are attractive, even if that is just by the male standards of attractiveness. I don't want to sleep with men, but I can appreciate a thing of beauty, even if I myself don't want it. Additionally, sometimes we have role models, and role models, even same sex ones (or especially same sex ones), are always something that is attractive to us in some way, but not necessarily sexually.

You can appreciate a good car, like a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, right? Yet you don't want to sleep with it, right? Some men (and women) are the human equivalents of these expensive cars -- we stare at them with wonder and awe.

And think of it from an evolutionary perspective -- we're all made to spot our competition, even if realistically we are not really competing in the same sphere. So sometimes this turns to haterism (e.g. "Those Jonas Brothers, or Justin Bieber, so fake and .......") when we feel inordinately threatened by someone's competitiveness relative to us, and sometimes, it's just admiration (a guy's guy, like Arnie, Jason Statham, Sly Stallone, etc.).

One thing I've noticed, as a side note -- the men who are the most threatened by other men, or who hate on gay men or feel threatened by them, are usually closeted homosexuals. They can't deal with the conflicting feelings inside, so they mask it with hate.

when everyone looks at me the first thing they think is, "Id have sex with him". Guy or girl it doesnt matter. People can be hot and yet you still have no desire to do them.
