Im gay but slightly in the closet. I tend to gravitate towards the down to earth bisexual or gay men that are in the closet. And I found out that most of them hide in the closet not because they are embarrassed to be gay but rather to hide from the multitude of openly gay men that are effeminate control freaks. So many other gay men that I've met are such "Emotional Cripples". They also talk it extremely femmy high pitched voices and act like total beyotches. They're always overly needy, overly attached to you, overly clingy, and overly pushy. They tend to look for and make trouble where ever they go, and try to get attention worse than a girl would by being obnoxiously loud in public. Lets say a gay man sees another man he likes in a store he'll start talking higher and higher and higher in a shrilly pitched voice and so loud everyone can here him. As if that is going to turn that construction worker on. If anything even if the construction worker as bi, curious, or gay himself most real men don't want that queeny attitude in shrieking in their ear. When ever I get a teller or someone who seems "stereotypically gay" he's always got to start some sort of trouble or insinuate there is some sort of problem where there shouldn't for most normal people. He's usually a "Professional Victim" type always trying to gain attention by being such a victim in situations in which no one did anything to him. I find that there are a TON of masculine men that call themselves straight and play with each other, go out for beer, hang out, chill, listen to music, talk, drive, do sports, etc with no problem, they don't get overly clingy but secretly express their love. But in public do NOT come out of the closet because the openly gay (stereotypically gay) men come flying at them like zombies from a horror movie. ha ha Except their are Emotionally crippled zombies with sexual identity issues who think they are pushy-women and not real men. When I was younger in my late teens early 20s I sort of acted like that femmy type only to drive away the men I really liked. And only attracted the emotionally crippled types. Once I started to "man up" I enjoyed life much much more. I started to attracted real men that could trust me not to be a clingy faggot type. I know a lot of gay men that will tell you that they want a relationship or perhaps a NSA sort of thing only to do the opposite. The Emotional Cripple will LIE LIE LIE to try and get into bed with you and then act like a total victim when their trickery didn't work. They bitch, cry, and whine about how the "Closeted man" is such a jerk or a-hole when in reality the shallow and hollow ploys by the emotional-crippled gay man goes ignored by his own ego. He doesn't realize that he let himself get used by trying to be such a FAKE himself. I'm actually proud of and glad for the real butch masculine men that are hiding in the closet. It's just that most the openly gay men are obnoxious, annoying, temperamental, and controlling, they are needy, arrogant, and uptight. Always looking and causing trouble with their extremely feminine personalities and constant lying. No wonder I find myself partially in the closet now a days and I do not advertise my being gay. In fact the more straight a straight man sees me acting the more he's more likely to have sex with me or simply a close friendship. Now this is going to sound awful but most gay men come off as Mentally Retarded. I figured this out one day when I saw a few people walking in front of me. This one guy was walking stereotypically gay, smiling goofy, and was limp wristed, he was also talking in a girly tone, and was dressed to get attention. I said to a friend of mine "gee that guy is obviously gay" and he replied. "Um, I don't know if he's gay or not but that guy actually has MR (mental retardation)". Now no offense to people with MR I think they are great. But it dawned on me that a lot of openly stereotypically gay men act like they suffer from MR.
