What would you do if you found out that most or all of your SO's friends are homosexual members of the opposite sex?

I'd be very surprised, since most of his friends are also my friends and most of them are not lesbians.

If they were the kind of friends that made her happy...I would be delighted. Sexual orientation would not be a factor...the kind of people they are....that's what counts.

I don't understand why this would matter?

my SO is a gay man. Why would it matter in the least if all his friends are lesbians?

Well, as a matter of fact many of my (female) SO's friends are gay men, and so am I. Her other boyfriend is straight. Works for us... I am constantly amazed by how uptight about sex (and sexual preference in particular) many Americans seem to be. I'm pretty highly sexed myself, and yet I spend the great majority of my time thinking about, and doing, other things where it has no relevance whatsoever.

I wouldn't mind. I think it might even be a good thing because it would show that he is open-minded, a feature which I tend to value.

I checked "why would I care," but that's not exactly how I feel. I mean I care a lot about the lives of my SOs and their friends, but not in the way you mean.

I'd be more concerned if they were all homosexual members of the same sex.

I'd be surprised, since we know quite a few of each other's friends.  * smile * I certainly wouldn't mind, though.  * wink *

I wouldn't care. If my SO had  * no * gay or lesbian or bisexual friends I might be worried that they were anti-gay/lesbian. I know my SO well enough to know that this is not an issue.

It would be odd and I would question him about why all his friends were lesbians.I do not think I would care unless there was some odd reason they were all gay like they let him watch them have sex or something like that.

SueBee/TwM: Did you see 'Fudging Åmål' (or 'Show me love' as itīs called in the States) yet? Itīs a Swedish movie about 2 girls and their struggle being lesbian. Itīs a nice movie with great young actors.

Also for heteros itīs a movie worth visiting.

jerk hag. Yeah, I've known some jerk hags in my day. I suppose that of all the women I've been with, the one I was with the longest was probably the jerk hag-iest. Oddly enough, it really dissipated a few months after we started going out. It may have had something to do with the fact that she was roommates with one of her old high school buddies that was a gay man. At first it was like practically all her friends were gay men. Later it was like no more than usual. Probably just a phase, because of her roommate/buddy...

I'll be honest, I'm afraid I do have slight prejudice against jerk hags in a sense. I get the impression that they have some "issues". I'd probably think the same thing if someone seemed to have most of their friendships with people of some minority group without any obvious extenuating circumstances. I would think that a normal healthy person would have a large group of friends that more or less represented a cross section of their society. If it looks like you are picking your friends based upon some irrelevant personal attributes, I think it's bound to raise some eyebrows.

I'd think: Maybe he gets along better with women than with men. And maybe he finds gay women "safer" than straight ones. It would make sense to me.
