Dude at a bar was complaining about gays who try to "recruit us"

[Bucky]

I told him he should be so flattered, but he was like, "I'm serious. It really bothers me."

So I asked him how is that any different from straight men trying to recruit lesbians.

He told me dreams don't count. So who won this debate?

[NMMNG]

1. If dreams don't count

Then neither do his fantasies about gays trying to recruit him.


You won the debate.

[ForrestGump]

3. I would say 'delusions' rather than 'dreams'

Because if he's fantasizing about gay men 'converting' him, then those shameless toaster-flaunters have already won! :o

[hfojvt]

25. what is recruitment?

A guy tried to pick me up once as I was walking to the grocery store. Does that count? I guess I could be flattered, but it seems more like an "any horse in a storm" thing. Also, I have been propositioned 3 or 4 times from local gay or bi men over the internets through Yahoo messenger. I would not call that recruiting, but he might.

2. Sounds like he's worried about being ABLE to be 'recruited.'

It takes two to tango.

[NMMNG]

5. Indeed

I don't obsess about straight men trying to convert me. :eyes:

[ForrestGump]

8. I'd try to convert you, but

it's Sunday, and I'm tired.

Can you wait a few days? :P

[NMMNG]

18. Don't take too long

The conversion window of opportunity might close at any time. :silly:

[ForrestGump]

19. Okay, I'll pencil you in for 2 PM, your time, on this coming Tuesday

Will that work?




Note to self: stock up on extra mojo...wear the big medallion with the Tom Jones model chest wig with attachable stuffed-sock apparatus

[NMMNG]

23. I'll be sleeping at that time

So that will be perfect. ;-)



Oooooh, furry chest with giant medallion? Swoon!

[ForrestGump]

29. Shoot, this'll be easy. She's already at Stage 1 with the Tom Jones module

It's not unusual. :D

[Lex]

9. Me either.

I wonder why some straight people are so worried about being 'recruited' -- they must have no confidence in their own ability to say, "No thanks, I'm straight."

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

4. You call that a debate?

I would have gotten in there with him about why he was so bothered? You know, asked him about his security with his own sexuality...found out if he liked gladiators...and smoking extremely fat long cigars...you know...given him a chance to open up and all...

[ForrestGump]

11. ...and the Turkish prison...don't forget to ask him if he's ever been

inside.

Inside a Turkish prison, I mean.

:hug:

Hi, NSMA! Merry Now!!!!

:loveya:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. Hey handsome!

How is you?

[ForrestGump]

14. I is purty much okay. Ha yew?

Up for a quick conversion?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. I already sampled your big throbbing red thing

what else ya got?

[ForrestGump]

16. You really wanna know?

:P

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

17. no

but based on my posting history today I am obviously bored :evilgrin:

[ForrestGump]

20. You said 'bored'

:D

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

21. rhymes with gored

:evilgrin:

[ForrestGump]

22. Speaking of which, you're looking horny today...

...but not as horny as me

[NMMNG]

33. Are those really big horns...

Or are you just happy to see me?

[ForrestGump]

35. Of course I'm happy to see you!

:rofl:

Actually, I was afraid that you'd ask me if they were big horns or if I just had a little head, and that my answer to the last part of your question would get me tombstoned... :o

[NMMNG]

42. You're so silly

Fortunately I like silly.

[ForrestGump]

44. Shake, shake, shake....shake, shake, shake...

Shake your leprechaun...


Oops. Sorry. You don't have one. :evilgrin:

[NMMNG]

47. Actually that's a Christmas elf

And I may not have a leprechaun but I do have maracas

[ForrestGump]

48. Ay, maracas!

Makes me feel like playing a duet on my fluegelhorn!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

34. I'll just have to work

HARDER

[ForrestGump]

36. :D

I always work hard.





It can hurt if you're not wearing the right pants.

[terrya]

6. I'll bet the dude was just butt fucking ugly.

Don't let me guess....he was about 300lbs, had a ugly moustache and longish hair. It never fails...it's usually some breathtakingly ugly, replusive man who's fucking scared that we would be completely insane to want to "recruit" disgusting men like him.

That dude needs to seek therapy ASAP as he seems to have these bizarre delusional fantasies.

[qnr]

10. Hey.... I resent that, I fit that description and the thought never

occurred to me. (Well, "about 300" being a relative phrase)

[Momgonepostal]

7. Or straight men trying to recruit disinterested straight women

I hope he is equally offended by over pushy straight men.

[ForrestGump]

13. I've had more luck recruiting lesbians

:D

Which is to say, none. But NSMA recruited me...

[Skittles]

24. I've known straight guys who were very flattered to be hit on by gay men

they took it as a compliment; yes INDEED

[ForrestGump]

31. I have taken it as a compliment, except when

it was under somewhat suboptimal circumstances and persistently repeated. By the latter, I refer primarily to a few encounters over the years with a few street hustlers in large American cities, who may or may not actually be gay, and to one gay cousin-by-marriage who was using the next bathroom faclity over from me and was very drunk at his sister's wedding (I just bowed out graciously from his attention -- he died from AIDS a few years later :-( ).

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

37. well if he was using the urinal next to you, no wonder he was impressed!

It's that yardstick tattoo you have on yours

[ForrestGump]

39. Shhh

:rofl:

It's even better now...I've gone metric. :D

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

40. well fuck now they're really gonna stare

while they try and figure out their conversion charts

did I just say "conversion" charts?

[ForrestGump]

41. No! Nooooo!

Ixnay on the onversion-kay arts-chay...secret, remember? :scared:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

43. I kept it a secret!

and I told everyone I told to keep it a secret too!

[ForrestGump]

45. Say goodnight, Gracie

:eyes:


Ow! Gracie?! That hurt!!

What do you mean, "paternalistic bastard"? :cry:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

46. goodnight, Gracie

and LOL..that was cyber alchemy

[ForrestGump]

49. Mal chemy!

:hug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

50. Is he related to Al?

[ForrestGump]

51. No, but he's going there

[qnr]

26. Some of us are so thick-headed, we don't even notice, no matter what

the gender.

[ForrestGump]

32. Stop talking about me

:D

[GrpCaptMandrake]

27. He's a moran.

Better to ask him when he "chose" to like girls. Press it and don't let up. When? Really. What day? Momentous choices like that should be easy to remember!

[6000eliot]

28. Send him this link:

[NMMNG]

30. .....................

:spray:

[Jamastiene]

38. Did you think to tell him that every time people like him say that

or Jerry Falwell opens his mouth to blame gay people for everything from the tsunami to stumping his toe, a gay person is gets a toaster? It's totally true ya know. Just like in the movie It's a Wonderful Life, when people hear the bells, it means an angel just got his wings. So, everytime people like him say that crap, we get a toaster. I'm running out of room for toasters now. :sarcasm:


I wish people like that would shut up. The dude was off his rocker. You won the debate by default. By having enough critical thinking skills to see that the man was wrong, you win. You are smart. He is not. You have been properly educated. He has not and will not let himself be educated. You can learn. People like that cannot. You won and bravo to you, might I add. End of story.
