Normal straight dude here. I've been hit on by a gay guy before. I explained the situation like an adult. All was good, no willies of any kind were had.
No "hey let's split rent and I'll get you all these free drugs" before eventually they come out with their expectations? Congrats. You don't wanna be there. You especially don't wanna share a jail cell with a dude who got himself moved in because you helped him with a phone call once and eventually he scratches the hell out of your glasses while you're in the shower because you turned him down.
Sorry for the run on sentences. I'm typing in the bathroom at work.
You bartered for drugs and were then surprised that this individual wasn't completely honest?
If he was a woman you'd be all over yourself for victim blaming at this point, let's try to be consistent.
Huh?
I didn't barter. They were pretty well framed as gifts.
It's the "drugs" part, dude.
Look, I smoke weed in an illegal state. I don't invite my plugs to my house, and I sure as hell don't agree to split rent with them.
That is really specific. You okay, buddy?
Yeah, but I've written off all personal relationships/sex and I make that very clear to everyone I have any involvement with. I won't give creeps a leg to stand on.
This is so extremely specific dude. You okay? Genuinely man I've been in shitty drug situations and if it would help I'm happy to chat here or elsewhere.
I'm much better now, but I see a big crowd here invalidating others experiences because they think it's the right thing. I can't be silent about it.
I think maybe there was a misunderstanding, your comment sounds like it's implying all gays are at fault
No. I'm just saying that homophobes aren't necessarily homophobes because they're bigoted. Plenty of them are that way because they've had a bad experience, or at least I was for a while. I'm good now, but my general approach with people is different and I get pretty triggered about people on the Internet who throw shit instead of trying to push for understanding. Nobody is going to achieve peace by attacking.
Here's a very relevant new Louis Rossmann video! https://youtu.be/cir-gJDcC1o
