I met someone who I thought was an interesting dude and then he thought I was interested romantically in him.

He was like ‘you should have been clearer about what you’re looking for’ (we spoke only of hanging out)

I was like I’m gay and everyone knows that and

If you don’t assume hanging out with a dude is a date why the hell should I?

I’m so tired of being a young-looking cis female presenting person

I have so many normal straight men friends, but some of y’all are really not okay

I’m almost forty years old my dudes.

I have dealt with more unnecessary straight flirtation than I need to, but apparently just because I look like a cis female straight person I should be ok with it. No thanks

I’m going to cut off my hair tomorrow

In San Francisco I guess being queer and married doesn’t matter. Partly it’s ’lots of people are pansexual and poly’ but also lots of straight men here hide under that assumption to just assume everyone is up for whatever they are

Even if I was pansexual and poly, straight men are last on the list of possible mates!

@skinnylatte they do it if they’re queer too. Bi poly men often assume like many bi folks that their experience of gender not always being that important to them is true of others, and that they’re not straight so that must make them higher up on the list for queer women. (Which they are for some apparently, but not like, all of us?)

Tl;dr: so slightly more house trained than the straight ones but only some and it’s a very relative thing.

@djcapelis straight men hitting on me gives me gender whiplash in ways they will never understand

That’s not even the worst part of this story. The literal worst part is I only knew something was weird when we were texting and I was like ‘I want ice cream’ and then he said ‘diet ice cream?’ I was like wtf?! And he said ‘oh you know coz women prefer diet ice cream’ and that’s when I knew this deceivingly normal person I thought I’d met was very much not okay

Like who talks like that in San Francisco (he’s also my age)

@skinnylatte What even is diet ice cream?

aud,

@skinnylatte I know so many women and literally none of them have ever expressed a "preference" for diet ice cream, whatever that is.

I'm just staring at this, slow blinking in incomprehension

On a related tangent, I have had a few conversations with international students in the same program about how men-women relationships and interactions in this country is very weird
