What's the opposite of a 'fag hag'?

I really hate that term, but it is used so…but what is a male who hangs out with lesbians? Are there any? I sort of was one I guess. I had a couple of lesbian friends that periodically needed an escort to go to this or that social function and they called me.

So what is the term?

A scissor gripper skipper?

The only term I have heard is “Dutch boy”… you know, a guy with his finger in a dyke… not sure if that applies only to those turned on by lesbians or not.

For some reason, I feel like I should duck and run on that one. I dislike the terms either way. AFAIAC, you’re just a friend who has helped out friends in tricky social situations. :shrug:

A male attending a social function with a lesbian for purposes of making her appear to be straight is called, I am told, a “handbag” or a “purse,” in the same way that a woman with a gay man for deception is a “beard.”

dyke tike?

sorta fits (like hag) if you use this def of tike:

n 1: a crude uncouth ill-bred person lacking culture or refinement
But I just made this shit up so who cares

John Rocker. Hi-o!

Dyke Myke!!

I have done this on several occasions, and have heard the term handbag applied to my presence.

Lesbiman?

“Queer Dear”?

~VOW

And a nicer word for “fag hag” is fruit fly. Isn’t it?

“Lesbiman”–nice!

I’ve heard “dyke like.”

Wait… I think we’ve got the definition wrong here.

Fag hags WANT to hang out with gay men, right?

But, this fellow’s example, the lesbians want to hang out with HIM.

(Now, if they’re hot lesbians, the name for a man who wants to hang out with them is PhilAlex!)

So, some of your analogies don’t work.

That’s the term I’ve heard used, and the term of choice for my friends and I.

We also use the term “fruit loops.”

Tough to say if you are comparing like-kind behaviors, ie straight people preferring opposite sex gay companionship. I get the impression that gay women are not as encouraging or accepting of heterosexual male attention or companionship as gay men are of heterosexual female companionship. I can imagine several practical reasons why this might be so, not the least of which is that many straight men are not in the least deterred from considering lesbians as sexual objects and this could make for an uncomfortable situation in pursuing casual friendships.

The gay “companionship” mode you refer to for gay women needing heterosexual partners is more a “do me a favor this evening” type request and not really a relationship scenario seen in the straight woman - gay man scenarios of fag-haggery.

As to a name how about “straight man”. If the gay woman has a sense of humor [sub](let’s not go there)[/sub] it works on a couple different levels.

Lez Beau?
