"I love guys! (I just don't need them in my vagina!)" Bridget McManus, I love you!!!

But truly, over the years, several of my best friends have been guys. Not all guys are amazing, but I've definatley found some great ones. I dated guys in highschool, and all of them were good, solid, respectable guys. I just didn't find that passion and fire! Plus, girls are better looking, smelling, and sounding! I don't know why, they just do it for me in a way that guys don't. That doesn't really have anything to do with men.

I think if they have affected how I approach relationships, I just got good life experience on how relationships (any of them, gay or straight) work. Its tough to be honest, open and on the same emotional level. In future relationships, these things are certainly going to be a major concern for me. They are absolutely key. 

I've had plenty of experiences with guys, some were okay, some were awful, none were great, but in all, something was lacking...

I didn't feel a connection or a spark, it was more like 'oh, he's nice, good looking, creative,  sure, why not!'

I love some of the men in my life, just not sexually.

they are all of my best friends (with one or two exceptions), and they come in a lot more handy for me as a gay girl than my straight girl friends when i want to talk about girls that i like

but on the other hand, i have a tendency to hate men as a whole and blame them for things. it's odd because as a whole, i hate men, but as individual men i love them and they are, as i've said, my best friends

I love my guy best friends granted most of them are gay/bi, my ex-boyfriend (my only boyfriend) will always be important to me as he's the only guy i'll probably like in that way. He didn't turn me gay though so his ego won't take a knocking.

I was questioning my sexuality a while, and then in my science classes there was the MOST annoying boy you'll EVER meet, and I knew for certain i was gay.

So i love my friends but that's all i need from them.

I like men, I just don't want to sleep with them, date them or marry them. I've always had male friends. I've been on some dates with guys, they just never did anything for me in terms of sensual or sexual excitement.

theyre whole world revolves around theyre (you know what). They are so disrespectful always trying to get women drunk, put a date rape drug in the drink and take advantage! They cheat and lie just for that one thing and would never want to have a woman for president. They leave theyre families and then refuse to pay child support! You accidently date a guy and then try to be just friends once he relizes youre a les but then keeps humping your leg and making sexual references about how much he wants to do you!

argh, men just anger me

theyre fun to hang out with though

I don't like men. I think that they're really annoying and obnoxious.

I don't think that I thought that in middle school, though... I don't know. I don't think that men had any impact on me in terms of realizing that I was gay. I was just kind of neutral.

For all my occasional posturing that 'gender doesn't mean anything', that sentiment doesn't always translate. Could be something to do with smell, the way their skin feels, or maybe the fact that male genitalia resembles a scrap of leftover elbow skin...

Awful mental images, hello!

Seriously though, men are fine, and occasionally attractive, but the main problem for me is that they're just... not... women.
