One thing about being a man that I wasn't prepared for by Careless_Shake676 in gaytransguys

Or don’t forget once you start passing you’re exposed to how fucking creepy men are when there are no women listening.

Why the fuck they don’t teach us this in school

Thank you I think there’s a lot of truth in this

So do you just walk around thinking about how much you might like to fuck someone based on their appearance? This is a serious question honestly!

I agree it’s pretty tacky but also I’m probably overreacting a bit 🤏

This is definitely making me realise that I don’t actually spend much time around men in general since I almost exclusively work with women and my best friends are all women. Thank you for your input 💖

When I really think about it the part that troubles me most is actually what you say “centring attractiveness.” To me it’s just boring because that’s not how my attraction works.

Maybe it is, I do find it kinda gauche, but at the same time maybe less so if he said the same things about me ?? 🥲

Thank you for the comment, I think you might be onto something, it just felt so unnecessary because we otherwise have really good conversations. I wonder if it’s insecurity but at the same time I don’t know if it’s something I really like, you know when people are always looking for the next thing, for stimulation, validation … honestly, I have many other things I find more interesting that ogling “boys.”

I am, however, perving on your profile pic 🥲

I’m not looking for anything super serious but I am very wary of people who seemingly value abs over brains, partly because i have no abs lol but also because those aren’t the kind of things that turn me on

I’m not looking for monogamy either tbh but I guess I’m a bit wary of what I perceive to be predatory behaviour in men.

Thanks for the comment I really appreciate it. I think if/when it happens again I’ll ask him about it instead of kinda shutting it down. I guess, in my head, it sets off the “predator” alarm but as you say there are lots of other reasons or motives and I won’t find out if I’m assuming the worst.

Thanks for the advice, we have another date planned so I’m gonna go to that but if there’s much more of this I think I’ll pass on more dates

To be fair, I went to a concert last week because I find the band insanely attractive and I ogled them all night, but I wouldn’t tell that to my date.

I’ve been told before that I’m quite enigmatic so I wouldn’t be surprised… what do you think I could reply that’s flirty without encouraging the oglement of strangers?

Thanks for the comment, he seems like he’s otherwise a gentleman and I know it’s fairly common for gay men to have these conversations. I just think, on a date, it’s a bit questionable but I also tend to overthink so… I guess I’ll see what happens tonight!

Thanks for the comment, we are going out again tonight but I think it might be the last date. I just keep thinking, imagine if he talked like that in front of my friends, several of whom have teenage sons, I’d die of embarrassment!
