Poll: Attracting the "wrong" gender:

[Dags90]

Yay for getting off topic

Call me old fashioned, but I'm pretty sure a male is someone with an XY chromosome and a female is someone with an XX. The only other arguable genders would be mutants like hermaphrodites (XXY), super males (XYY) and super females (XXX). I highly doubt anyone on this forum is one of those though.

Sorry, but plastic surgery/mentality doesn't change genetics.

It's really wrong to classify men with Klinefelter's Syndrome as "hermaphrodites", many of them are in fact male. And most people considered to be intersexed or born with ambiguous genitalia don't have Klinefelter's. Also, Double Y and Triple X aren't even noticed by most of the people who have them, they're hardly different enough to be considered a different gender.

Yeah, i end up getting advances from blokes when i go out and mostly i just laugh at them but once this guy just kept grabbing my arse even after i told him to fuck off so i broke his nose, not quite the fucking he was after but far more satisfying for me

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.

Oh, I see. Now that's a much more interesting situation, at least from my particular - admittedly overly academic - perspective. Unfortunately, I don't have any advice to offer on the matter. If you want advice, you should probably seek it from people closer to you; you know, the ones who have your best interests in heart and therefore hopefully won't be making their judgements based on personal, political and/or social biases?

Rut?

I didn't ask for advice.

What made you think I needed help?

Nope, that was pretty clear to me when I had to share a hotel room with a gay dude.

Then again, I too seem to be invisible for both genders. Sure, it's good to be invisible for the gay guys, but I'd like to be visible for the straight girls y'know.

Why can't I make a cute female?

You can, if you dress in a cute way, behave in a cute way, or just anything to create a cute image.

Their sex may be male, or female, but gender is entirely different.

Wouldn't you feel weird being with a FTM transman who hasn't begun transition yet?

 

[CommanderKirov]

Take it as a compliment, I heard that gay guys have quite high standards!

Or perhaps you can grow a nice massive beard.

 

[Andalusa]

It has happened on occasion. It was a bit weird, I'm not complaining, though. The girls were rather pretty, if I swung that way then things might have happened.
But I like guys.

 

[Null-Entity]

I never attract more of one than the other, but I always end up being the good friend, its a curse of mine.

I'm a slim friendly looking guy with long hair and I'm guessing my upbrining with mostly female figures (single parent family and lots of her friends/my Aunts all very strong women) must have left me with that "safe to know and confide in understanding guy look/personality...

I never get the girl but always the good male friend they feel no threat/possible advance from !

 

[EmperorSubcutaneous]

I'm pansexual, so there is no wrong gender for me.

However, I seem to become attracted to the wrong orientation much too often.

Fuck my fucking life.

 

[Mr Fixit]

Never had that issue myself, always seem to get fairly goodlooking women, but only for a short time for some odd reason....

Mmm, true, but then, it wouldn't really be me. I could change who and what I am to do that, but I think it was more of a "Why don't people believe I'm a cute female the way I am now?"

Besides, I would hate to be in a relationship based on a lie. I'm not a cutesy person, and so pretending to be one would be 1. Hard and unrealistic. People could tell I was faking I'm pretty sure 2. Unfair to the guy because they would expect me to be like that always and 3. Unfair to me because I'm pretty sure I'd be unhappy.

But yes, you are right, if I did that, I would be seen as cute.

I've got some fairly serious facial hair, and it doesn't stop them, take it from me.

Judging from that description, I'd think you're cute... for what it's worth. Nothing sexier than a girl with messy hair wearing baggy trousers! ... *hrk*

Actually... I'm bisexual and I attract asexual people.

...

*head explodes*

OT:

Also, I'm sorry bisexuals, this doesn't really apply to you i'm afraid.

Well, shut up, I'm gonna give my two cents. Rather meaningless cents, but nevermind.

No, I don't (really) have that problem, largely because I'm quite average looking and don't tend to attract anyone while I'm out. Granted, I'm not out that much so that might explain it.

However, my last sexual experience was with a short-term lesbian fuck-buddy who is actually a close friend... yeah... I don't really know how that happened either.

 

[gunheads]

Not even Asexual?

And thus you have answered your own question. No need to thank me, it's what I do. Yes, I'm quite good at it, thanks for noticing.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to gloat to myself in the mirror.

[sub]Then cry myself to sleep because girls ignore me. *sobs*[/sub]

 

[kickyourass]

I wish I had this problem, at least then I'd know that SOMEBODY was attracted to me.
