Is he straight?

[HansNZ]

I have a question:

If you are a really stunning looking straight guy would it be normal for you to have only had one brief (i.e. 3 week) relationship in the 3 to 4 years someone has known you?

Even if you were painfully shy is it not likely you'd still have had some girlfriends in that time if you were interested in the opposite sex, especially if you were exceptionally attractive?

There are plenty of shy people around, but they still have boyfriends and girlfriends in my observation. He seems to have quite low self-esteem, but not about his appearance it seems. He was voted by a large group of women to be Mr November in a 2002 calendar full of spunky guys.

What are your opinions about this? Am I reading something into this situation which isn't really there?

Who knows? Sounds kind of strange though.

I'm a good looking guy but never really wanted to approach women for the fact that i thought i would seems like i was coming on too hard so i always stayed away. Thing is, in the last 10 years women have learned to approach men first. That's how i met all my girlfriends. They'd either approach me or a friend would hook us up by breaking the ice by telling me she found me good-looking.

when you're good looking you do get women approaching you methinks. I've had females ask me who my gorgeous friend is, so I would imagine he must get plenty of attention from women. He's only 23 so unless he is highly satisfied masturbating I would have thought he'd want to dabble from time to time, but he's always single.

Just because he's been single for a long time and hasn't had many girlfriends doesn't mean he's not straight.

Living proof right here.

Well I am not very good looking myself....in fact I am downright offensive to look at....but as for your friend....everyone knows that masturbation is better than sex....for a variety of reasons that we are all aware of....

Less hassle, yes. Better, no.

Either he's gay or in denial or confused. That's my opinion.

Warick are you sure your not gay? Your mom says there's been some fishy stuff going on with you lately.

It's not that he hasn't had many girlfriends, he doesn't seem to have had any. The 3 week thing which is the only "relationship" we know of that he has ever had sounds like it was nothing more than a few dates. It seems he ended it about the time that they would start having sex.

I tried to set him up with a girl I know but he was really awkward about it. That in itself means nothing I know, she just may not have been his type, but it seems it made him very uneasy. I may be imagining things, but I think not.

A buddy of mine got the impression that he might be gay when he first met him. He doesn't "seem" gay to me, but I realise that despite the stereotype, 80% of gay guys aren't gay acting, and you can't tell most of the time, people just think they can.

Plenty of straight guys can be single for a long time, but not usually when they look like him. He seems to have no past relationship that anyone knows about that has "damaged" him which could otherwise be an explanation for his eternal singleness. His best friend hasn't even seen him go off and have any one night stands with any women.

What gives?
