So my mom still thinks I'm gay... (A Follow-Up)

[AngryPuppy]

SNIP

So, your a girl who works, acts, dresses and, I'll assume, "looks" like a guy? (AKA- Butch) You also never had a boyfriend. While there is nothing wrong with this really I can certainly see where she is coming from. Is it really any wonder your Mom would assume such?

Regardless of the folks saying it isn't her business, it is. She IS your Mother. Why don't you at least TRY and be more feminine just to please her at least until your out of her home and DO find a good man? She may be "bat crap crazy" but she is your Mother and as archaic as it may seem, her intolerance is justifiable to a point. I highly doubt the majority of parents would be stoked to have a gay child. No offense intended to anyone, really, but no, not everyone on the planet is so willing to accept such things right away.

My advice may not suit you, but really, all the other "advice" you've gotten here was pretty damn petty and stupid. (I only read the first 2 pages though.)

My mom's chihuahua, Sampson, once got into her underwear drawer and chewed a hole through it while she was at work. My mom then proceeded to accuse me, my brother and my dad of wearing the underwear and cutting a hole to put our penises through. God, looking back I had a really fucked up childhood.

 

[Lullabye]

My mother regularly tells everyone who will listen that I'm a threat to her and my baby brother.
Which is great for me 'cus I have to deal with them all on a regular basis.
I hate drama. I really do.

Yes, I am one, but I do not molest children or engage in predatory behavior(most don't).

Also, nice touch with the pear.

Oh, your love of CCS suddenly became much less charming and innocent.

That has nothing to do with it. Even if I wasn't one, I would still love the series with every fiber of my being.

I can not remember now, I do not usually hold on to those memories.

 

[Chrinik]

To be fair, I do fit the stereotypical image of a lesbian. I'm involved in the construction trade, I never wear anything feminine, or do my hair or make up, and I've never had a boyfriend.
The only part that's missing is that whole thing about liking girls.

Hot...I´d date you.

If just to prove your mom you are not gay and shut the fuck up about it. XD

 

[Dexiro]

Have you asked her why she thinks you're gay? It's probably for some incredibly stupid reason.

 

[s0denone]

Deep down, men really don't have any standards when it comes to appearance, personality, cleanliness... You get the idea. I'm probably generalizing based on my own experiences, but it's WAY easier for a girl to pick up a guy than vice versa. Give it a shot and you might find out they're not all they're cracked up to be (which isn't much to begin with).

Seriously!?
What the fuck!?

"Men have no standards when it comes to[...]"????
????????????????

You better believe that men are just as selective as women. If you don't have any standards, that is your own personal thing, but you should realise that the rest of us do have very specific standards.

Also, no standards on CLEANLINESS?
Now you're just moving to a point of absolute absurdity.

I do not know anyone who isn't turned off immensely by a lack of personal hygiene.

On topic:
Wow. That... That is really strange.
Why haven't you dated anyone, though?
If you are not actively looking for a relationship, have never had one, and doesn't seem interested in boys, I see how your mother could think that.

I'm not saying she's right, but can you really blame her?

 

[LiquidGrape]

Here's what you do:

Grab a copy of Pride and Prejudice, place yourself in the direct vicinity of your mother and start reading. Every two minutes, thrust the book into the air and scream "OH, MR. DARCY!" in the most orgasmic pitch you can muster.

You can thank me later.

 

[rutger5000]

That is simply offending. We are also humans you know, we have our self respect. I would never do anything with a girl if it lowered my self respect. And I think I'm speaking for a lot of men here. If you have a different opinion about men, then either you are being very shortsighted or you are hanging around the wrong men.
But yeah it's way easier for a girl to pick up a guy than vice versa. Have to agree on that.

Oh dear. You know the expression/cliche "any port in the storm?" There's a reason people say that.

Anyways, I was merely suggesting that this young woman who doesn't go out of her way to make herself up (and hasn't yet dated anyone) probably has a shot with most guys her age and probably a few older ones, too. Sorry if you found my words of encouragement "offending."

I get what your trying to say, but that's not what you're saying. Saying: "men don't have any standards and just tag along with any random girl that offers herself." sound pretty offending to me. Sure most guys will be flattered when a girl ask them out, and this makes it more likely to say yes. So we're easier that is true. But saying having no standards at all is offending. If you don't see that I'm done talking to you.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Jesus. I'm fed up with your mum's shit and I'm not even experiencing it.

You know what? Tell her you ARE, in fact, reaching for the rainbow like you thought it was Skittles. Just see how she reacts to that.
Then go proceed with your life not giving a fuck what she thinks.

She's not worth dealing with, honestly. Just switch off whenever she starts talking.

Anyway, discussion point.
I guess I've not got anything really bad my mum has said. Just the usually overly mothery stuff.
"Oh he's so sweet and generous and smart and blah blah blah other things that are complete bullshit".

Yeah watch me whine over my loving and supportive mother. I have it so hard.

 

[Unspeakable]

Eh, maybe they see something you don't. Why not try it? If you ever need a kind, gentle woman to help guide you along the path of alternative living, look me up.

I mean, it won't kill you. For the record, God only turns gay men into pillars of salt. He's totally ok with lesbians. It's in the Bible.

 

[Souplex]

Have you tried just getting a guy to pose as your boyfriend to convince her?

 

[thenumberthirteen]

That's sort of gross. "Son, I see you've been feeling a bit under the weather so I got you these hookers".

Now you're almost quoting my dad! Wait... I swear my family isn't really that fucked-up! They're just very supportive. I'm pretty sure my dad bragged to his co-workers about my penis size when he found out what it was...

My parents weren't batshit insane, thankfully. However, I still have problems with my mom talking about me behind my back; bragging, so I really don't mind usually. The problem comes up when she brags about things I don't really want people to know about, like where I live now that I have my own good-sized apartment. It only happens once in a while, but... it can get to be a problem. It's weird, because she's so smart and careful the rest of the time.

Well my mum just complains about me behind my back. How I'm lazy, don't have a girlfriend, don't have a "proper" job, and how I don't do "crazy" things.

Fair enough. Didn't mean to offend you.

 

[Brad Shepard]

Let her think what she wants, you know your not, thats what matters.

Haven't seen the other thread. Why does your mother think that you're a lesbian? Did she find some porn or something?
