    I can attest to this. I’m a cis man and not ever has another man ever proposed to me in a gay way. I’m what you would call “ugly looking”. I might find it flattering if someone did propose. But my wife would not be amused. I do understand that other men might be offended by someone telling them how strong their friendship is and that they want to be with you always. But that’s just some men (the dangerous one probably)

      Some dude carrying most of a bicycle said hello today and then told me I looked good.

      It was nice to hear. Since I don’t want to fuck someone who could very well have been homeless and, judging from the parts of the bike he had was probably on meth, I just said thanks and moved on. Like, I could have taken is a compliment or been like so many insecure jerkoffs and got up in arms about it, but just because you’re straight doesn’t mean a compliment stops feeling good.
