Sigh...I work with a woman who, once she found out I was gay, felt the need to adamantly assert that she is straight in just about every conversation. Finally I kinda put it out there that I was not attracted to her...and got the reaction that others on the thread have described. The "Why not???" reaction. And then...having decided she could still be my "friend" even though I don't want her...now weekly tries to set me up...with other femmes! And canNOT for the life of her understand why I tell her that I am not attracted to them...because, after all...they are GAY (and apparently that is the only thing I require to find someone attractive). I tried the "Well are you attracted to every man that crosses your field of vision just because they are men?" The response? "But they're gay!" *rme* If it wasn't so pathetically ignorant it would almost be funny.
