My Experiences with Both Men and Women

Some of my experiences with both sexes. Also explains how I feel both sexes are truly equal.
I am an open lesbian women. However, I am close to friends of both sexes. Do you find this weird? I don’t! Anyway, these are just some of my own experiences. It may be too incredible to believe but it is all true. I’ll start on my experiences with men and then move on to my experiences with women.
My Experiences With Men
1. Ignorant men try to hit on me even more once they find out I am gay. I don’t know why. My Mom tells me it is because I am forbidden fruit to them. My Dad tells me the same thing. My Step-mom says they are just ignorant. These are the men that come around me when I am dressed up in feminine clothing which is a rarity in itself. I’m not the stereotypical butch lesbian as many are so inclined to think…
2. Sometimes men forget I am a woman. These men aren’t the ignorant ones. I hold good friendships with them and I can relate to men much easier than women. Anyway, I’ve played video games with men, I shoot pool, and even when they were suffering pain from a woman breaking their own hearts I had given them my sympathy and let them vent. These men I speak of here know I am gay, and have never tried to hit on me. They accept me as one of them. It does get weird sometimes when they ask me for sexual advice on how to please their significant others. Ha ha ha!
3. I have beaten men in street fights before. No, they didn’t let me win. I won fair and square! Of course I always accepted the free meal afterwards once I beat them and then we became good friends. Yes, I have the ability to make a grown man cry. I just don’t act on it. And yes, men and women can be just friends. I hate ignorant people that say they can’t. Aren’t my own friendships with men evidence enough?
4. I have known men who have been victims of domestic violence. I have helped them out in some ways. It’s not always the women who are victims. Heck I have even slept in the same bed as men and no there was no sex. It was just a comfort thing for the man to have someone there, since that specific man admitted he was afraid. Yeah even though I am a woman, men seem to reveal their fears and woes to me and for some reason I end up helping them. It doesn’t bother me. If they become a bit stronger emotionally than I have succeeded in my help. That is how I feel.

I have always found it easy to get on with men just as friends. I don’t understand why people say that a person from the opposite sex can’t just be a friend. You certainly seem to be a good friend to everyone, Erin.

I’m straight but I have always communicated better with men than women, and I don’t mean in a sexual way. Men are easier to make friends with than women, generally.

I’m gay. Most of my friends are men. To me, they’re easier to get along with.
