A Straight Woman’s Point Of View…

A Straight Woman’s Point Of View…

In a bid to show my solidarity for Kenny Badmus, I updated my BBM display picture with his profile, and updated some message I can’t now remember on my pm. So, of course, I had friends who came trolling with questions and remarks and opinions. One of them was a female friend of mine; and below is a screengrab of part of what we chatted about.

Screen_20150109_093138This sort of amused me. I mean, really, gay men don’t deserve to have good looking fellow men to shag?

On my other, more mainstream blog, where I also updated Kenny’s coming out, another straight female said as part of her comment: ‘…I have a gay friend, finest guy I know. For some reason they now seem to be blessed with good looks…’

AH! We don suffer! So, before we woh-woh, abi? Chai! Diaris God o.

    Lol…….gay men are just wired specially. If gay guy is not blessed with Good looks, they always compensate with something else, a banging body, a sky high IQ, well mannered, good taste/ very creative (I think most of us come with that chip)……and list goes on.

      On my timeline, there was a mini war going on concerning Kenny’s coming out, and some females were just going daggers at the dude.

      Then a friend of mine, a KDian had this to say:
      ‘The epic thing about his coming out is that he is cute,successful,masculine,muscular and a man of integrity. A big wipe on the notion all gay men are soft,feminine and skinny.’

      I laughed hard when I saw that. It was like, Take That, Beeches! 🙂

    Those beeshes better believe that the most physically beautiful specimen of men they’ll ever come across are gay men… Really; I know this might sound like stereotyping(or wishful thinking), but when a guy is tooooo fine/hot (Ebuka Uchendu, Alexx Ekubo, Kenneth Okolie et al)…well,it would be a waste to waste all that hotness only on women *Muahaha*

    Hmmm.

    The notions most people have: If he’s ‘too fine’, he’s gay.

    Someone once said, the worst thing that can happen to a man is: Being gay, ugly & broke. Hmm.

    Lol.. We r cute and Fab.. They should deal with it. I think their problem is that when they see us, what goes through their mind is- “damn, another cute dude that I can’t shag”.. We r disadvantageous to Nigerian women who see marriage as an achievement. So the more gay people there are, the less chance of getting a husband for them. Oh I forgot to add cute, yeah cute husband ☺☺☺

      I have a similar situation. I recently uploaded a pic on Facebook with the single word: Live.
      And a girl who days before had been fuming about gay people turning away from their ‘sins’ liked the pic and commented ‘Yes we should all do that everyday’
      Such irony. To believe people should have a right to live and yet have a problem with that living being the existence of a gay person

      Narcissists are compulsive selfie-takers.
      Compulsive male selfie-takers have psychopathic tendencies.

      I swear! The selfie bit is so true especially the written post that comes with it. These days you can now tell who is gay not only by their compulsive selfie taking, the way they write don follow.

        Dats cos we have shitty relationships based on ephemeral and mundane tins
        Relationships dat lack a base, how then do u expect much of it?
        An average hetero relationship tends to b headed somewhr but down here in our ville, u hear dem say” afterall nobody is marrying anybody” so pple jst hide under d name of a relationship to shag till we get tired and move on to d other.
        D cycle continues

    The few gay people I knew in nigeria when I was younger were wowo. I thought it would be like that for the rest of them. Heck… I even wondered if I was ugly too.

      James I’m still waiting to meet the “OMG! he is fine” gay guy. you know like the celebs u see on tv. All I see is “you no try” and average like me typa guys. Well my advice is if you no try in the looks department? Invest heavily in cloths, swag,Exposure, good attitude, social skills and you are good to go

    to the girl who posted that, i say: ***Tongue out***, if God hates us so much, why does he make a lot of us so fab – gorgeous, talented and creative. We know that men are visual creatures who are moved mainly by what they see as opposed to the womenfolk who are moved more by what they hear… we realise that we gotta look good in order to score the best meat in the gaybourhood, so we are often willing to go the extra mile to look good … extra skincare, meticulous diets and exercise and a more wholesome lifestyle. Which is why when i see a lot of straight guys who feel uncomfortable around gays cos they think we are going to try to fuck them somehow (assuming that was possible), i look at them with barely concealed disdain and think to myself “why would i want to shag – you? you’re out of shape and not attractive + you just dont have that extra “oomph” that a lot of gay men have, the extra “oomph” is what attracts me to other gay men”, stop flattering yourself please, i’d much rather jerk off than touch you” …
