    (and dont get all riled up with the term "boy" - that simply means a cute male to me)

    anywho ...


    so you are a boy under the age of 30 and a girl, say, oh, 39~ish (hint, hint - someone like me) walks up to you and asks you the question:
    "have you seen the movie the graduate?"

    Would you infer anything from that?

    Perhaps you should try a less subtle, more modern, direct approach.... Just sayin

    I am 43 therefore born after the The Graduate was released however the reference is more appropriate than Amercian pie but that might be because I am special.

    ...at least he didn't say "Have you seen 'Harold and Maude'?"


    omg - that's a great movie.

    I would infer that you wanted me throw up.


    me hitting on you would make you throw up?

    ouch.

    Looks to me like A LOT of boys should be getting onto their Netflix accounts and getting The Graduate loaded up into their que! Cuz I'm sorry Stiffler's mom may have coined milf, but The Graduate is what brought it to light but in a classier way.

    Oh and yes, I am a few years older than the OP, so I get both, and have seen both. The Graduate sets the bar. Anything else is second best.


    Plastic's m'boy, plastics are the future.

    I'm 24 and aware of what The Graduate AND harold and Maude are about. If he doesn't know, not worth your time!

    I would think that it was my lucky day.

    If anybody is looking for me I'll be over in the "ancient men section" with the other late 30's guys. pouty.gif

    Just because you are gay doesn't mean you shouldn't be flattered!!!

    I'm sorry. I'm obviously gay to anyone with any kind of natural senses. I find it very rude and offensive when women try to flirt with me.

    I can't tell if you're serious. You're really offended by someone finding you attractive?

    I don't mind if someone finds me attractive. I just don't want to know about it.

    Why not? I like having my suspicions confirmed when a girl or a guy find me attractive.

    I would get a kick out of it if anyone (same sex or otherwise) would hit on me! It is a complement... :smokin:

    You wouldn't be flattered and find it good for your ego?

    And BTW if you are that obviously gay, then she probably wouldn't be hitting on you. The great thing about hypotheticals is that you are supposed to put yourself in the situation of the scenario. In which case, you should have imagined yourself as straight or imagined yourself being hit on by a FIERCELY attractive older man.

    Exactly! I'm not single, but I still like to know someone finds me attractive. And I'm straight, but wouldn't be offended if a lesbian tried to pick me up.

    I'd gently say no thank you, but it's nice to be wanted, anyway.

    I would not be flattered. I would just be disgusted.

    And women hit on me much more than men do. I find it rude. What if I went around hitting on straight men all the time? They would probably be uncomfortable.

    Well then maybe you aren't as obvious as you think you are, just sayin'!

    calm down and take it as a complement, no need to get angry about it. all you would have to do is let them nicely know you are not interested.

    Exactly.

    And I have to wonder, with that nasty attitude, why anyone would hit on you at all ...

    This is so funny. If I were straight and being anxious about being hit on by another male, people wouldn't find it so offensive at all, but probably "natural". It's not like I'm rude to the person when this happens. It just makes me uncomfortable. And makes my stomach upset.
