It seems to me it's only a big deal to those who are insecure with their sexuality, or are insecure with how others perceive their sexuality.

Otherwise, I'd just ignore it.

If it's a co-worker and they're making improper jokes/innuendo/touching/etc., I'd contact HR and file a sexual harrassment complaint if they wouldn't stop when I told them to.

*gasp* Males can't be sexually harassed! I bet your HR department doesn't even have procedures for that.

But I agree with all 3 points.

Would you do this if a girl you were not attracted to at all hit on you? If not, what is the difference?

the difference is that an unattractive girl is still a girl, which is completely different from homosexuality.

So what? If a gay person was attracted to you, will you get cooties or something simply from the attraction?

 

[PanzerIV]

If needed, I would drop subtle hints that would give a clear indication I was straight. If they asked outright I would tell them I am not interested in pursuing that type of relationship and am quite content being heterosexual. If they persisted and it was in a work setting I would do as someone else suggested and contact the HR department letting them know what was going on. If outside a work setting I would show a little more hostility so they would back off but only as a last resort.

Heck no! What's the difference??? What's the difference??? You have to ask that? There's a HUGE difference.

If it were an unattractive woman, I wouldn't feel disgusted. Heck, I might engage her in conversation. But if she asked me to dance, I'd probably refuse politely.

The difference is in your mind. You'd not have sex with either one, right? So, in the end, there IS no real difference.

No, it's not. It's another person who you are not attracted to making a pass. You're going to shoot down both of them, why should HOW you shoot them down be ANY different?

 

[element]

Is this the thread where I get to tell everyone I'm not gay?

Seriously, it's very simple...just DHIT.....

nah j/k

I'd ask if he has a sister. Nah j/k again.

I'd post a thread titled : "YAGT: OMG WTF LMAO I was just hit on buy teh gay what do I do?

nah j/k again

but seriously, do you even need to ask?

How would you react if a person of the same sex is showing interest/hitting on you?

I'd lock him out and ban his @ss

Tell him I am flattered but it is for exit only. I'd tell him that we could be friends but if he ever felt the need to give me a bj, then heah what are friends for?

 

[BurnItDwn]

I'd be honest and tell them I'm not interested in a homosexual relationship, however If they wanted to LAN they would be welcome to a game of Wolfenstein or Command an Conquer.

You'd lose that bet.

We just had a 2 1/2 hour training session on Sexual Harrassment. Same-sex harrassment does occur.

 

[Nohr]

I'd tell them I'm married, which I am.

That pretty much sums up what i would do as well. Though i would mostly ignore it unless they came right out and asked me out or the similiar.

 

[GroundZero]

let them know that their lifechoice isn't the same as mine and not to hit on me anymore unless they want trouble.
they can do what they want, but to leave me out of their plans. after making my prefferance clear, if they want to continue to make advances they are in for a world of hurt. as far as the ugly girl scenario, let them know that i am not atracted to them and it would be best for them to not to pursue me anymore. the difference between the two? well, as a man, violence against a woman is not tollerated, but if you are male and i have warned you then you are fair game for a good old fashioned beating.

 

[Descartes]

A lot of seriously insecure people in this thread.

Is this person cute?

[BooGiMaN]

inform them you not one of dem der homer sexuals

oh wait how old are they and how rich..and what exactly would u have to do to get on the will....hey it worked for anna nichol

 

[Dacalo]

I would tell the person that I do not practice that kind of sexuality, and would thank them for the complement.

 

[Looney]

You guys have no sense of creativity. Even if you're not interested, you can still mess with them. Ask them to see the size of their penis, and then just turn them down with a 'no thanks'.

 

[yakko]

I would just say that I am not interested in that kind of relationship and that if they want to stay friends they will have to not hit on me.

 

[Chaotic42]

I'd be polite and tell them I wasn't in to that.

 

[SP33Demon]

I'd say sorry, not interested, and probably never talk to them again as good friends (as an acquaintance or business colleague I still would though).

 

[kazamobah]

Are you sure your friend is hitting on you? It might be all in your head.

If they are "A friend that you've known for a long time", wouldn't they know your sexual preference?
