In the lawless, inscrutable land of romance, one must look for subtle signals — hints that your as-yet unrequited feelings are also his; clues that suggest you’re both on the verge of a love that’s bigger than either of you.

As the latest video from comedian Michael Henry demonstrates (which costars Seth Daniel from Dekkoo‘s “Feral”), there’s one word in the gay lexicon that spells a surefire kiss of death in the dating world; an absolute guarantee that the object of your affection sees you as a friend and nothing else.
The moment this weird little word hits his lips, it’s time to abandon all hope.

Taking it a step further, when you act and talk like a girl, don’t be surprised if everyone treats you like one.

Actually, effeminate gay men and femininity from women is frequently very different. Also, yes, many effeminate men are attracted to other effeminate men. But these two don’t look like an, um, aesthetically compatible match.

Taking that a step even further, when you shame feminine gay men, sometimes other gay men find that to a big boner killer.

OMG you took the words right out of my mouth!!! I have zero tolerance for redundant, cartoonish, lazy, portrayal of gay men. I know it’s novel, however, MAN-THE-F*CK-UP and you might actually attract a man.

Would it be bad to be ‘treated like a girl?’ And if so, how? be specific.

Ouch. So true. It’s a sign you’re “gurlfreinds” and never going to be “boyfriends”- I’d say “oh hunny/hunty” of any kind, is another one of those phrases that equals death to dick.

The strange thing is that I have effeminate male friends and that never refer to me as “gurl” or “bytch”. However, every once and while my female friends do, even my ex-girlfriend.
