Had my first negative experience getting hit on this weekend by a dude. I was packing up and out of no where in a low, weird voice he said I look really fit and started to ask personal questions. I kept it short but got to the point, “I’m straight, have a nice day.” The dude was shocked and walked away. If he didn’t get the point he was a about a second away of getting told to “F Off”
I been hit on by gay guys before but it was never in a creepy way. Never been uncomfortable around gay people. It was always admiration and liking the confidence. l know that wearing thongs it’s assumed sometimes but man, if this guy’s angle to is be a weirdo good luck.
Anyone else get creepy encounters? Now I know how ladies feel when guys hit on them.
I’ve noticed that when it happens to me the dude isn’t so much gay as he may be the dude “questioning” or “experimenting”. Every bona fide gay I know are super chilled and proper who although enjoys the eye candy their “gaydar” tells them I am not one.
My wife is very blonde and very vulnerable to the sun so I almost always go to the beach alone. I am darker, tan really well and wear as close to nothing as I can. So I frequently get hit on by gay guys at the beach. I usually manage to refer to “we” early in our conversation and most take the hint. I’ve only had to actually say, “sorry, I’m straight” a couple of times over several decades. I don’t ever remember a conversation with a gay guy that didn’t end up being respectful and cordial. I admit that I do sometimes feel creeped out but that’s just me. Sometimes I am able to go with a female friend, besides the welcome company, her presence tends to encourage the guys to steer clear.
The encounters I had with gay dudes has been good. They hit on me but it wasn’t creepy. I tell them I’m straight and one admitted it was “A damn shame” and we all laughed.
If you were out at Fort Desoto it is probably the same guy who creeps us out whenever we are there. The guy literally walks right up on you no more than a foot away and just stares at you and slow walks by. Mind you we are usually set up 40-50 yards from the water. The thing that is so creepy is that he does this at least 5-10 times during the time we are there. He is about 5’9 ,very hairy, wears a thong, darker complexion, wears sunglasses and a Gilligan type Boone hat. Doesn’t matter if I am myself or with wife. As he walks by he does this to most of the other thongers in the area.
I haven’t seen that guy so he must hang in the ghetto area. But thanks for the heads-up. The creeper who approached me is white or latin looking, dark hair, beard, he has a gut and walks around with a bluetooth speaker.
I had it once years ago, I was around 50. It was on Crete (Greece). I was laying on my back in my skimpy orange (I am Dutch) thong on a fairly narrow beach. That guy, actually a good looking lad in his twenties, came walking on in his speedo. He stopped very close to me, 1-2 m max, and behaved in a very suggestive manner. I just shook my head an looked angry to him. He hesitated for a few seconds than he left.
It was not a polite nor a subtile way of approaching, but when looking back I see it as a compliment.
This has happened to me on Santa Monica beach but no words were said. I noticed a guy starting and I eventually picked up and moved to another part of the beach. After I got set up, I noticed he moved as well and that freaked me out. I then walked way down the beach to another location and saw him walking along the side walk. At that point, I drove to another beach. I was thinking the same thing about how some women must feel. It is disturbing. It only happened once so I treat as an outlier that the guy must have been a psycho. You put yourself out there when wearing a thong at the beach and that is no big deal but it doesn’t mean that you have to put up with the few wierdos out there.
