Ka-ching! ::reinstates a couple of IQ points:: 
I hope the people who say that realize it’s a bit of a slap in the face to all the straight, single guys.
Maybe, but who cares? 'Cos it’s, like, their own fault.
The way I see it, you can either have someone who’s sensitive, funny, likes shoes and is really good with colours, or you can have someone who, if he woke up next to a female body (a living, breathing one, I hasten to add) would not go "Eww, gross! Ick!! :eek: :eek: :eek: ". You’d think that would be a no-brainer, but maybe not. :dubious:
Oh, now that hurts.
Right. That’s it. I’m joining Mensa [sub]assuming they’ll let me in[/sub]. Women who are not afraid to show–nay, flaunt, even–their intelligence? I am so there! ):
I should probably have stuck a rolleyes in there somewhere. Being a formerly single straight male and not especially in touch with my feminine side, you should be able to guess where my sympathies lie. 
See! I have a crush on Roger Thornhill but now…
I could have said,
I would never join a club that would have someone like me as a member.
(btw I am a straight man, seperated but not divorced yet, so I have no idea how women must classify me.)
For me, it was more of a sad commentary on who I was attracted to. I never said all the good men were gay or taken, just all the ones I was attracted to.
As cute. 
I’d say I was quite a catch.
But it seems I’m more of a catch and release.
Well, shyeah. Who’d want to catch a zebra when they’re fishing?
(Come by Toronto for a Dopefest sometime, I’ll buy you a drink.)
It’s really more of a commentary on my own bad luck.
Never underestimate the male heterosexual’s lesbodar.
Makes no difference to me. Anyone who says nice things about me goes on my Buddy list. Finally up to 2…
I was talking about transdar rather than lesbodar. (Note, linguists, we have a new productive combining suffix -dar, a bound morpheme.) Different sexual orientations and gender identities can combine in any of various different ways. I think of them as nodes along energy networks rather than discrete containers.
Dearie, everyone thinks of them like that these days!
Incidentally, the last sentence is patently incorrect. Mathematics is on my side, since I know for a fact that transwomen are rare.
“Luminous creatures we are…”
Really? It’s been my experience that most tranny chasers (yes, it’s an ugly and demeaning term. There is a reason for this) were men who were straight or heavily in denial. The average gay man tends to want another man, not a woman.
Tranny chasers in general have thoroughly objectified transexuals. They seek an MTF not as a partner or even a person but as the living, breathing embodiment of their sexual fantasies. To a tranny chaser, a transexual is a blow up doll with a pulse. The situation is analogous to an American man who will only date Asian women based on the stereotypes he’s picked up from porn and kung fu B movies.
Argh. As a straight male, Mensa is horrible for me. There’s no girls my age there ( i’m not saying they’re not able to join, just that they don’t seem as likely to want to go to events), and all the older woman think i’m “sweet”. If there’s one thing a teenage guy wants to be described as, it’s not “sweet”. 
Actually, to tie in with the OP, it seems that quite a lot of the people in Mensa in my area are homosexual- at the very least, a larger proportion than there is in the general population.
Some gay men may consider a MTF transsexual to be still essentially male, especially if, as is typically the case, the transsexual still has his manhood intact.
Well, I’m not American, but I’m Gaelic-Norman, which is close enough. There are other factors involved too, like long hair, slim build, compliant personality (somehow the wife lost out on this one - one of us should ask for their money back), simpering appreciation of the culture, civilisation, humour and fairness of the westerner, virgin till marriage, and incredible in bed. May have missed a few.
Mallers, “…are we” - not that it much crudely matters.
