It’s the curse of being beautiful: Other gay guys are more interested in getting into your pants than genuine friendship.
That’s according to a character in the latest comedy sketch from YouTuber Michael Henry.
Michael comes across a conventionally good-looking acquaintance (played by Michael Fariss), who’s upset because he has no “real gay friends.” Despite having a “cute boyfriend”, good job and close female friends, all he does with his new gay friends is fool around with them.
Michael’s advice? “The way to make friends isn’t though your anus.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“All you sexys only have surface friendships because you are stuck in this loop of connecting and validating each other through some sort of sexual activity.”
He advises his handsome friend to wear pants instead of revealing shorts and to join an improv class.
Watch the funny clip below.

Gosh! how upsetting…lololol…welcome to Palm Springs where all the A listers know each other and hang with each other and have had each other…..and some aren’t even hot! Get on with life.

Gee Prowelsh56, this sounds so much like San Francisco, I had to do a double take when I read it was Palm Springs. But as i understand there are a lot of ex San Francisco gays who got tired of the attitude, rude men, high prices and BULLS**T of life in San Francisco and moved to Palm Springs, this kind of makes sense

He leaves out the arrogance factor that a number of extremely attractive men have about them. Some of us find it off putting. I’ll talk to anyone but if someone doesn’t answer I find that it makes them almost repellent. So that fence, as usual has two sides.

There was this super attractive guy at the gym….incredible body, thick straw colored blonde hair, full lips and an ass to make the gods bow down. He never spoke to a soul and had a reputation for being arrogant. He asked me out. I asked him why he never smiled at anybody…he said just imagine what that invites for me…i go to work out, not to socialize..anything that i do that might seem at all encouraging makes working out impossible..lesson: it is not always the handsome guy’s fault..it is often the people who act like fools around him.

We can say it in many ways but common courtesy is almost always appreciated. Or should i say it used to be appreciated? Or maybe it just was, in another age.

This guy sounds full of himself. Really, it never hurts to be nice and smile. Say ‘hi’ be friendly and let things happen. If conversation interrupts your workout, have an exit plan but skip being stuck up and arrogant, it’s old and all too common.

I understand his point of view. I have similar issues at work in a professional legal environment. If I’m conversational or smile too much, I often get harassed (mostly by women, actually). That doesn’t mean I’m not nice, but I do hold back emotions at work – both because of what it can invite and because of the environment. Not everywhere is a hook-up zone and not every guy has a total lack of control over his penis. Common courtesy is respecting your environment and those around you. I still smile and treat people with respect, but it’s not always a matter of just seeing what happens. It can be very uncomfortable. That’s why there’s an entire movement about this in the heterosexual world.

Well thank you for the laugh. You are so full of yourself. Saying your handsome having a cute boyfriend. Maybe that’s why you are all alone. Narcissistic for sure. Idiot
masterwill7
Oh yes, the horrors of being a very handsome young gay male….. 😉 😛

I know this is supposed to be ironic but somehow it just reminds me of how vapid, needy and desperate so many gay men are.

Make friends with your personality not your penis.

Seriously? We idolise beauty, youth, big dicks and us overweight, balding teeny weenies are mocked and derided, and you wanna know why you don’t have meaningful relationships? GTFO!

Most of you have missed the point. It’s social commentary on the sexual overdrive in the gay male community. Somehow we came to a place where screwing your friends is how you make them. I don’t consider myself a 10 by any means, but I encounter this a LOT. Personally I’m a very serious individual with a high-stress job, two adopted kids w/no partner or husband, and I don’t always smile. Nor do I want to. I shouldn’t have to in order to make other people more comfortable around me or approaching me. I have very few gay male friends mostly because the last several I’ve had have behaved incredibly inappropriately (getting naked and laying in my bed while I used the restroom at a party, etc.). Not all of us care about the size of your equipment or similar factors, but when you try to greet us by offering a BJ or getting drunk and thinking that means we have to sleep together because we are both gay men, I just don’t have the patience for that. That’s not what friends do. Everyone has their own demons to contend with – downing individuals in the community who raise this issue doesn’t make that person full of himself, it makes you that.

“It’s not my fault. They all wanna’ have sex with me!” – That doesn’t mean you have to have sex with them just because they want to. Just say, “No!” and go home to your boyfriend and have sex. SMH.
djmcgamester
100% agree. Want to develop friendships? Don’t have sex with the people. If they stick around, they might become friends. If not, they aren’t worth your time.
Bob LaBlah
Cute. What ever happened to Davey Wavey? He hasn’t been on here since he lost his boyfriend. Hope he found love and is happy wherever he is.

Let’s get one thing clear! My pants aren’t on long enough. There are some “hot” guys out there that are so self absorbed that there isn’t any room for anyone else. Some of these blokes are unapproachable. Some are simply rude and condescending. I feel bad for the genuine hot guys that try to find real love but not all are approachable.
TrevisWho
Damn, most of these comments are mean. It’s not that serious lol. From what I’ve gathered, they’ve made the stereotypes of gay men comical lol. Just take it for what it is and don’t be so critical. Take all of your critiques at the election polls next year.
