I have been hit on a few times, usually they are rather neutral experiences. I feign ignorance/obliviousness, and the woman loses interest, no harm done. A couple of times my sister and I have been mistaken for a gay couple. I don’t know why, other than we have different body types (I’m short, she’s taller) any my sister favors “flannel shirt” attire and no makeup. But we look rather simular in the face, so I don’t get it. Anyway, one time an aquantance seemed quite _amazed_ when I mentioned “Oh my sister says this…” He said “You’re _SISTERS?!?"_” And then there was the one time that we got treated like utter shit at a store. I am firmly convinced that they thought we were gay, which was their motivation for their treatment of us. What jerks. There was one time that I was rather offended by possibly being “hit on” by a lesbian. An aquantance (girlfriend of a friend) was talking to me, and commented that my bra wasn’t fitting right. (I have a buxom figure, and it’s hard to get bras to fit properly.) So I had this “three boob” pooch on my chest. This woman _poked_ my boob “pooch” and said “What is _this?_” I don’t know if she was officially “hitting” on me or not, but I did not appreciate it. I certainly cannot think of any self-respecting man (or anyone) who would come up to me and POKE my boob. Why this crass woman thought she could get away with it because she was female is beyond me. I knew she was a lesbian, she knew I knew - so what was I to think? What a creepy thing to do. ---

Hell I consider being hit on by _anyone_ a compliment. if I got hit on by a blind, deaf guy with breath that would beach a whale and a tube sock full of ramen noodles hanging out of his butt I would go around smiling the rest of the day. So I always just say I’m not interested and thank the person. ---

By the way, your quote sounds just like Boris Badenov. “And later, I will make sex with Moose and Squirrell.” ---

What really bugs me is when straight guys hit on _me_. I mean, really - begging isn’t going to get you anywhere, you know… Esprix [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gay-men-ever-hit-on-a-straight-guy/76955.md?page=1)
