If you sense a tinge of jealousy in this post then you're a perceptive one! I have quite a few female friends, mostly (I emphasize the word mostly) platonic by choice. When they hang out at my apartment many of them tend to hit on my three gay roommates. Now, they're wordly and handsome blokes who speak french to each other and understand fashion far more than I do, but the girls in question KNOW that these fellows are gay - why do they flirt so tirelessly? One girl went as far as tracking down one of my roommates on myspace and emailing him to hang out sometime. Does she think that she'll convert him? I have cute lesbian friends that I don't hit on because I'm not foolish enough to believe that their "condition" can be "cured." So, what am I missing here? Is the apathy of my gay roommates toward these straights girls what's so attractive to them?
What's the deal with straight girls flirting with gay guys?

I've heard that theory but I don't quite get it - why put the energy into flirting if it won't lead anywhere? To piss off other guys? Oh, the make them jealous?

It's safe no-pressure flirting. Guys will often flirt with girls out of their league or with attached girls. It's good practice, you don't get tongue tied worried about saying the wrong thing as the end result will be the same no matter what. Same principle. They can practice and feel good about themselves without being labeled as a tease.
Practice? Never thought about it that way.. But aren't they, in a way, getting shot down again and again by unreceptive parties?

Wow. You're smarter than 99% of guys with that statement. Too often men think lesbian means "Always In for threesomes with complete strangers". Bravo, sir.
Anyway, I think girls just use gay guys for practice, as it's been said. They probably feel uncomfortable flirting with girls if they're straight, so they go with gay guys? Beats me.
Maybe it's just natural for them.
Nah, I don't believe that you pick your friends... I met them because I live in NYC and it seems like every other guy in my age group is gay for some reason. If you lived here you'd probably have a gay friend or 2... It's not by choice, in other words, it just happened.
girls just tend to be more comfortable with gay guys, just because the guy isn't sending any "i want you" vibes.

Not really. If they know there's zero chance of success then it's not a shootdown. In fact, it's the only possible form of flirting in which they can't be shot down. Even an incredibly hot girl can get shot down in real flirting.
True, and I also think its kind of a safe zone for them. They can't really be labled big sluts/flirts because they're hitting on gay guys. They can just say he's like a sister or a girlfriend.
If they have a BF, I think the bf still wont' like it, but it won't be as big a deal as if they were flirting with a straight guy.
