Anyone ever dealt with a girl who had a lot of gay friends? I did a little recon on a girl my aunt is trying to hook me up and all her myspace top friends are gay dudes. Seems odd. She's artistic and a little weird but I like that.
What goes on in a woman's head to make her like this? Any ideas?
1) They're "safe" because these women know that the gay guys won't always be trying to get into their pants like some straight guys do.
2) You like "guy stuff" right? So you're going to hang out with people who like the same things you do.
Soooooo likewise with women... The more effeminate of gay guys love shopping, talking about "cute men," clothing, they tend to focus on their looks, they love drama... sound like a sterotype of a certain gender, anyone?
3) I think that lately, it's become more "hip" for women to have a "token gay" friend. You're practically a bigot if you don't have one. But if you do, you're hip and progressive and free thinking, and "wouldn't you want to be all those things in this society?!"
What gets me is the lengths some girls will go to have a token gay friend just so that they can be hip. The guy could be a complete idiot, and they'd seek them out just because he's gay.
