Sex. You mean "sex." You attract attention from the wrong SEX. Will people please stop using anthropological terms in ways they were not meant to be used!

i attract the "right" so to speak, gender, men. even though, im a lesbian and have no interest. Strange how that works though, its like people have a homing beacon to the people that DONT have any interest in them.

a little off topic, but why are men attracted to women that by definition, have no interest in them?

Yeah I found that description of yourself genuinely attractive...maybe I am a bit bent..
Aww, that made my evening. I don't hear that I'm attractive often. I don't hear I'm ugly, but I don't hear that I'm attractive. I've been called classically attractive, but that was by an older female who was trying to encourage.

So, thanks. :)

Why can't I make a cute female?
You sound like a winner to me. Of course, I'm a rather cold hearted bastard whom everyone avoids for the most part, and I rather like it that way. I generally look for two factors when I bother looking at all:
1: mental compatability: because I probably grate most people the wrong way, and the others probably think I'm weird/insane/homocidal

2: I usually pass on girls that are bigger than me (could say I'm not going to date a chick fatter than me, and since I'm not a lightweight, it usually just leaves out the really big girls. Any moral objection to this should refer to the cold hearted bastard comment made above)

Edit: later post, how modest of you +1 on my scale. Oh, and seeing as I haven't seen you and have no idea how you look, I can't really say attractive or not XD but personality wise seems awesome

been hit on by just about every flavor out there.

I just kindly let them know i am straight and would never be interested in anything more than being friends, usually they are okay with it, albeit a little disappointed.

i have had my ups and downs like you OP though, where the ones i'm not interested in have shown a lot of interest while ones i consider a possibility have zero interest at all, but i suppose that's just life.

It happens all the time. Sometimes I even manage to attract straight men. Not sure how that works, but apparently it happens.

I also attract quite a few of the ladies so I suppose it balances out a little
*Really hot for Berethond*

OT: I too have only moderate success with women, but seem to have an excess of gay admirers. (Then again my gay 'friends' are fond of chubby men, and many women are not)

I attract neither gender despite the fact I am a straight male. No matter what I do I cannot seem to get a girlfriend, and I have been questioning my sexuality (This may be in response to the fact no woman has ever shown interest in me no matter what I do). I am not interested at all in men sexually, but men are the only ones who are willing too actually talk to me. I also often feel resigned to a fate where I will die alone and will do scholarly studies all my life, so that does not necessarily help the situation. This would make me a Beta'ish-Omega Male.

OP: So you are a Beta-Male? You work well with others, and generally are the 'wing man' of Alpha Males. Judging from the way gay men launch themselves at you, you are probably a confident person with no attitude, which is one of the two that a Beta Male would generally have (I do not know you well enough to judge whether or not you have confidence or attitude). Beta Males are also usually the ones who are non-confrontational and are required to be patient in order to get what they want in their 30's (woman, good jobs, great cars, etc), because Alpha Males tend to tire themselves in their 20's (or woman more often than not get tired of them). (I mean no disrespect, this is all Urban Definition of Beta Male and my own point of view from what I can read and also judging from your age).

You are getting hit on by gay men, because they see defining features that they themselves rather enjoy. When it comes to Homosexuals it is hard to find an Alpha Male (Gay). Meaning you are getting hit on by other Beta Males, and possibly even Omega Males (This is more possible since Omega's usually are the ones who act like Alpha's, but are more resigned and do not generally boast, but still have great pride in themselves, and tend to work alone) (I decided to use Alpha/Beta/Omega Psycho-synthesis since it seems to be a part of this 'essay' anyways). They are hitting on you because gay men don't exactly know who is gay until they ask (My Common Sense is tingling). Usually until they ask they go for features they would find attractive first (all purely theoretical) like any other gender of our species. You are roughly 18 and possibly in a high-populace area judging by the fact you seem to be distracted by this often. You may have to be patient in order to get your 'Ideal' woman, but it is also possible you are just hanging out with the wrong women.

There really isn't anything you can do about being hit on, but just let them keep coming. But it wouldn't hurt to work on some Alpha traits (that you are comfortable with of course), so that you can find a solution to this problem. Just one piece of advice when it comes to that, and that is too NEVER FAKE.

I don't know why I decided to write this all out; maybe I was interested in studying this further, or maybe it is because I like to see my typing and it feeds my ego, or it is possible I'm hungry. Either way, if this has helped you in any way than I'm glad to help.

Hey guys, I'm a man with a strange problem: I attract attention from a lot of gay guys. While I'm only mildly successful with women, for some reason I get attention from a lot of gay dudes. Just in the past month, I've had two guys ask me if I was interested in them and a few try to be, um... friendly with me. Sources say it's because I act like a beta-male and I have a feminine "boybandish" face. Go figure I guess.

Has anyone else a problem like this, either straight people who attract gays or vice versa? If so, how do you deal with someone liking you without being really awkward about it?
Happens to me all the time. I am told that I have a "Gay-Twinkle" in my eye. I don't really get it to be honest. I have some success with women, but if I played for the other ball-team, I'd be getting laid left and right. In that sense it's frustrating, but I just deal with it; it's a compliment anyways.

Will you stop acting like there's no such thing as transgender people?
A transgirl's gender is female. End of story.

I'm attracted to all genders/sexes (That's right sheep there's more than two of them)

So it's never an issue for me unless they're straight women, or gay men.

I've been hit on by gay guys (I'm a guy, though my avatar might confuse some), but I've just said a hearty "sorry, not gay" and we've had a good laugh about it. There was one exception that got pissed off and called me homophobic, but whatever.
Never knew I was so attractive to my own gender. Pity I've trouble attracting the opposite gender. Maybe it's a sign. Lol.

I'm bisexual but the question can still apply. I attract gay men and I'm a woman. I get told numerous times "If only you were a guy and at least bi...." As far as the correct sexuality, ummm yeah...I attract the straight asshole men who expect me to be in the kitchen and basically be a sex slave to them. Or just want one night stands and I'm sorry but I respect myself more than that. Plus I have my standards. Oddly enough, I tend to repel the people I'm attracted to. Go figure.

No I means gender, and I'm sure the op does too. Regardless of what the physical characteristics are down there I'm attracted to people whose gender is female.

Never been hit on by a guy (I'm a straight male). However, I'm not a huge hit with the ladies, since I tend to want one with some brain power. I've had a few one-nighters and some flings, but nothing serious.
