Is it OK for a Hetro Guy to flirt with a Lesbian?
I love Lesbians.... Some of my best friends are Lesbians... And NO it's not the woman on woman thing that floats my boat, I just think they're great fun. AND I love flirting with them... Is there a possibility that my mind and soul is half female? I think that if that's true, it makes me a better man.....MHOP

1. trumad
wd like to see some lizzie feedback here. i've had some good friendships w/ lesbian couples; there's little of the competition & territoriality of male/male friendships, + no need to be concerned w/ the sexual tension of a male/female friendship.

i think flirtation is acceptable someXs, but requires a delicate touch so as not to cross the line.

2. Flirting means nothing...
But if it also includes fondling, I'm going to have to say it's not ok. But if it's just your run of the mill flirting, it's ok. It's just like my insatiable flirting with gay men. It means nothing, and it's fun.

3. All of us guys are half female bro...
We have the X chromosome in us. We simply at some point in time while we were being formed had an extra hormone pumped into us to make us male. Yes, I think it's okay to flirt with lesbians, just don't get your hopes up. Ha!

5. Why not?
Not to be cliche, but some of MY best friends are lesbians. Unfortunatley, many of them are moving away, because I live in a Bush-loving ultraconservative rich asshole kind of town.

I was roommates with a couple, and we used to have a blast. We'd sometimes be scoping the same girl and compare notes. Just having fun. I even took one of them to Amsterdam for Pride. Over the top.

Now, as far as your struggle. If you start thinking Ellen is stylish, I think you better get checked out by someone, maybe a psychic or a Reiki master or something. I love Ellen, but do you think she dresses that way as a protest or something? Now that I think of it, one of my friends refuses to wear a dress, and she is very attractive. Oh yeah, there's the visor thing. What's up with that? I used to call it her dyke badge! (Please- no offense intended-just having some fun):grouphug:

6. Oh, it definitely makes you a better man to admit to your feminine side...
and flirting (just flirting) is cool whoever the object is... as long as it's welcome.

(end of "lizzie" contribution) ;)

9. Like I said... If you have a female side
you're more able to understand what er..said females want... Although I must admit, it's still sometimes as baffling as Quantum Science.

"What does a woman really want?"

After many painful guesses they decide on world peace and a vcr :)

46. from herbert's "Dune" novels
a high tech needle-like device to test fortitude; if you flinched you died. ref to my "lizzie" jab.

i hope it's clear i'm a male feminist & wd walk arm-in-arm w/my sisters into the firehose cannons. no offense meant by the vulgar vernacular, just jerking you guys off.

8. I flirt with gay guys
I've been flirted with by lesbians, and I'm straight. I think flirting is complimentary, no matter who it's coming from.

10. I think there are certain
relationships which transcend gender. Sometimes you can connect with someone on a spiritual level & the rest is irrelevant. Doesn't mean you have to hop in the sack, but there is a mutual attraction.

If someone makes you feel good, that's just the way it is. It's natural. No big deal...

Militant International Lesbian Feminist, that'd be.

They started it, so I assume they're OK with it. It's just fun, and no harm done.

27. Yep... It sounds a bit more like...
LLLLLLLesbian.

Kinda like the way Blanche DuBois pronounced it on "Golden Girls" when she was struggling to remember what it meant.

Blanche: "Lesbian. Llllesbian. Isn't Danny Thomas a Lesbian?"

Dorothy: "Blanche! That's Lebanese, Blanche! Lebanese!!"

28. Completely situational....
When I was 19, I worked for a lesbian boss. We hung out after work at her apartment and shenanigans o'plenty went on. It was fun at work to check out the girls renting videos with her. It was a weird mutual attraction/friendship thing that went on with her.

I wouldn't date anyone who supports repukes and especially Bush. I'm also turned off by men who pierce their pee-pees. I just don't want to go there!!

38. I flirt occasionally with a lesbian
who works down the hall...no harm in it as nuthin' will ever come of it.
Besides she has a sweet girlish giggle...so I always trot out the "A List" material for her.

44. IMO it's up to the lesbian being flirted with. If it were me,
Edited on Mon Jul-19-04 10:25 AM by Bertha Venation
it would depend upon who is flirting with me. From some men, it wouldn't bother me. From others, it would.

Unfortunately, trumad, it's a pretty subjective thing. :shrug:

edit: FTR, if I allow a straight guy to flirt with me, I'm probably flirting right back. So it really has to be someone who knows I'm gay and won't change, and who knows his flirting won't get him anywhere near my bedroom -- hell, he knows that I know he's not even trying for that, that he's just playing.

The flirter, IOW, has to be extremely secure in himself.
