FORUMS > All Things Gay Forum Rules

I was browsing around AskMen.com, attempting to find a remotely yet genuinely homosexual friendly article (which failed miserably, just incase your wondering). In my excavation... I found this article called "Why Women Love Gay Men". Be it no shocker, the author goes for all the typical stereotypes (fitness, fashion, and all around rainbowness).

One commenter claimed: "gay male friends offers women a true shot at a platonic male friend."

... and so I pondered... What exactly counts as a platonic male friend to the gay male? Do I have any of them? (and) How many of them are actually my social peers (and not family members or older mentors, etc.)?

All of this at 5:00am. Without the power of coffee. Nice.

all my mates are male with just a few female "acquaintances"

While they are all gorgeous (mentally at least for some of'em haha) they are mostly platonic, with some of them a few sexual things have happened but that isn't the way of think about them and it's usually just a one time thing sorta stuff and I've more mates where nothing has happened and I wouldn't want it too!

Most women I know who have there head screwed on right are more then capable of having a relationship with a man that is purely platonic and nothing more, they just let them self get messy with it.

mind you, l've more trouble having a platonic friendship with a gay guy hahaha

wel, I think I've pretty much said nothing!

Nearly all my platonic gay friends are "plutonic".

...It's like I'm from earth; they're from Pluto.

You got that right......

more of my friends are "Plutonic" rather than Platonic

I was on that site a couple of weeks ago and totally blew it off for probably the same reason. think realjock, but straight. same machismo, full of themselves b.s. i dont know what is 'askmen' about it at all. its more like men that ask other men, who have asked women for pointers as to how to get them into bed. platonic gay friend? i dont have any. i do seem to attract a lot of female friends though and i can even feel the tension ease once they figure out that im gay. its comforting. im guessing that guys normally just wanna screw the first thing walking with boobs that most women tire of it and feel safe enough around a guy who's not trying to bone em that they let their guard down. sometimes, im honestly baffled at the guys who will shamelessly eye a girl down as she walks by as if thats something to be proud of. they look like animals when they do that. its disgusting. no matter the orientation. get a platonic female friend long enough though, and the inevitable happens. u get a will & grace type thing going.

Damn you, I step out for 5 minutes, and you beat me to it! LOL! Yes, this describes many of my "Plutonic" male friends. And all just non-bedroom friends, BTW, since I have a partner.

Not sure many of them are platonic relationships, however, in the deeper intellectual sense of that word, merely non-sexual social. And that's fine, I have these RJ forums to satisfy my philosophical self-indulgences. LOL!

Yes, I have plutonic gay and straight friends and I treasure them like gold from heaven.

lol, this topic is very funny, and to SineOfChange, DO NOT correct the topic title because it's perfect!

All our buddies on here are platonic friends.
All the people in our visceral life are platonic friends.

The inhabitants of Pluto are our plutonic friends. *puts on tin-foil hat and waves at sky*

Can Unicorns be plutonic?

Yep, horns dipped in Plutonium for flame wars, lol!

Thanks, I learned a new word today:

Plutonic: (adj) Formed by solidification of magma deep within the earth and crystalline throughout.
