Ok... because it apparently is not entirely obvious

I am a guy - male, that is.

Now I must go dress terribly, watch some sport and get drunk to reaffirm my poor tattered masculinity *nurses masculinity*

Awwww. If it's any consolation, I knew you were a guy. I even snorted a little when I read the comments in your other post.

Would it help you feel better if I hit on you or something?

Ahem. "Hey baby, I lost my phone number. Can I have yours?"

That brings up a question. Is it flattering when women hit on gay guys, or do you just not care?

Ah, All hope is not lost!

Argh, cheesy pick up lines - all hope is indeed reduced to ashes.

Depends on the gay guy. It depends on the situation with me. If she's doing it in a place where I'm safe and comfy (like a gay bar or a gay-friendly bar) then it's flattering and fun - you can even play the flattering fun flirting game. If it's somewhere like a dinner party or somewhere where you don't feel comfortable yelling "sorry love I prefer cock" then it can be awkward because you've got to somehow discourage without hurting feelings and without coming out in a situation you don't want to.

The pick up line was culled off a list that was sent to me in my email. Rest assured, I have not, nor will ever use it. That was also the least offensive one on the list. (Though useless, the others were quite funny. Hubby and I have been quoting them at each other at random times.)

When I read your answer to my question, for some reason I pictured a cocktail party, maybe with a piano in the background playing softly. Suddenly, the quiet conversation is interrupted by a man across the room shouting, "Leave me alone! I don't like the vagina!"

I do have to say, the flirting thing is a lot of fun. Flirting that can't make my hubby jealous! Yay!

flirting is fun :) so long as everyone knows where the lines are being drawn.

Yes, that would somewhat break the mood of a cocktail party, wouldn't it?
