I’ve never known what to call it either but it would sort of apply to me, and I like “dyke tyke” 
That’s my point. Why do we need a term for a stereotype that doesn’t exist?

Wait, that sounds like a fun game.
Maybe we could make up a term for a Mexican who acts like he’s Chinese, next

I’ll add my concurrence: This creature does not exist. You will find straight men who gravitate to lesbians; but that is because they want to have sex with them, as many at a time as possible.
Many years ago (like in the eighties, I guess), I was told that I “must know every Non-Smoking Marxist feminist vegetarian lesbian in town!” I was not given an identifying label, though. The thing is, it wasn’t entirely without reason that the person felt that way. I did know a lot of lesbians, and in fact was living with two of them, having moved out of another living situation with two other lesbian only a few months before. Two or three other close women friends were at the bi-curious stage, as well.
Eventually I decided that it was pretty much a statistical accident, because before that time, and since that time I have pretty much had more heterosexual friends than gay friends. I never have had any particular interest in the general case of other people’s sexual preferences. If I had a sexual interest, it mattered. But mostly, I could not have cared less. The one thing I know was true was that that attitude was not as common as I thought it was, and it is entirely possible that my friends were just a lot more likely to come out to me than was likely in the general population. I was fairly oblivious to it. I have no gaydar at all, and was mildly surprised in most cases.
The Non-smoking Marxist feminist vegetarian thing was definitely true, though. That was a holdover from the sixties, I think.

Just a WAI (Wild Assed Idea), but isn’t all “lesbian porn” (with two women making out, occasionally looking in the camera in a “wish you were here” kind of way) directed at straight guys, not a at real lesbians?
Maybe there are many guys who find the idea of a hot lesbian babe (or lesbian couple) very sexually arousing. Two women, no male competition, smething like that. Five minutes with a real lesbian couple will likely destroy that fantasy, though. Fag-hags, OTOH, may not have started out with a fascination for gay guys, but, IMHO, have started liking their company more and more. The one time I had a gay friend it went like that, anyway.
So the male equivalent of a fag-hag is the guy who prefers “lesbian porn”.
Thanks for all the input, so far.
As I’ve pointed out in other threads, straight guys tend to like the idea of lesbian sex. If they thought about if for more than 5 seconds they’d realize that lesbians, by definition, aren’t sexually attracted to men, so they (the man) would (more than likely) be left out in the cold in a sexual situation involving two lesbians and himself. Besides, as my former boss (who is also a lesbian) told me - “Believe me, man - you don’t want to see my having sex.” She, BTW, is built like a Mack truck.
And in addition to a “flaming socialist,” I hear that matt_mcl is also a…Canadian

A friend coined that for me, when it seemed my non-sexual life-partner would be a lesbian (I was the straight male Silent Bob to her lesbian Jay).
My sister has one of those dyke tykes of which you speak…
He’s a widower who enjoys the same things that she does. They began spending time together right after he lost his wife because she and her lover felt sorry for him. Then Lover split and my sister and her male (presumable straight) friend hang out all the time. They are best buds and travel together etc. etc. She also uses him as an escort in various social situations.
While it may be that he’ll drop her like a hot potatoe if he finds a female he can pal around with and also screw, and their friendship did not start because he was seeking her out specifically because she was a lesbian, and he may, in fact, have lust in his heart towards her…Right now they are in a very nice straight man/gay woman friendship.
Yes, he exists and his name is Aaron and he lives…oh, you didn’t mean a specific person, did you? My bad.
Ex-boyfriend?
Most women I’m friends with are former girlfriends, women I’ve dated but didn’t quite click with sexually, friends from my dorm during my now-distant college years, and FOAFs.
Okay, I obviously don’t get out to the right kind of parties; I’ve always thought that “beards” applied to this kind of guy.
Well, lessee…one…two…three…f-…Ooooo! Catfight!
Juan Fei Hung?
…had to try…carry on…
Seems to me that a Beard is very different from FagHag as Beards are described as more distant friends (acquaintances or work-friends), or sometimes as men who hang around hoping for spontaneous conversion. The term FagHag seems to be used as a descriptor of women who deliberately seek out gay men for friendship; sometimes just one attractive gay man, sometimes a series of gay friends.
Not having a great deal of experience with the genre, this strikes me as being true for most porn, especially that produced by hetero companies which use girl-on-girl action as a “warm-up” to the “real thing.” There is however porn produced for lesbians by lesbians, but the prevailing stereotype is that lesbians aren’t particularly stimulated by the visuals. Factor in the “all porn is evil” trope that’s been pretty pervasive in the lesbian and feminist communities and the market’s not that big.
"Beard is more commonly applied to women who go out with gay men as part of a social function and there is a connotation that she is there to mask his homosexuality. A variation on this theme is the “walker,” who is a (often gay) man who escorts women to social events when their husbands don’t want to attend.
How about Juanabee?
Hmm… “Dutch Boy” implies that he puts his finger into the hole in the dyke.
I would like to propose this learned answer to the OP: Alcaeus.
(A gift of baklava to whoever can catch the allusion there… actually a Lesbian should be able to get that one right off.)

I find “fag hag” to be an offensive term for someone who just wants their hair cut REALLY stylishly for less than 1/4 the typical urban price in the comfort of her own home.
Sorry for the obnoxious stereotype, but my friend Arthur used to give me MARVELOUS hair cuts. So sad that I moved away. I’ve spent years trying to replace Arthur. Sniff.
