Quote:
One of the first things that we'd talked about in any interaction was that yes, I was married, to the tall Japanese woman in the black dress. It usually followed closely behind asking about my name. So they knew going in that I was both gay and married, meaning that there was no way in hell they were getting in my pants. Attempting to flirt with me knowing that I was gay is silly, and makes them look a little silly, but it isn't offensive. Attempting to flirt with me knowing I was married is downright insulting, as it implies that they think I'm less than completely faithful to Grace. Questioning my love for my lifemate is an insult no matter how it's disguised.
Do they keep flirting even after they find out you're straight? What would the point of that be?

Yes, as do women who flirt with me when they know that I'm married. I wear 2 rings one on each hand so it doesn't matter which culture European or American, you'll know I'm married or have at least deep suspicions. Again, so long as everyone is comfortable in their relationships, there's nothing wrong with it up until there's physical touching in private areas. According to Skogafoss, "Eating is still cheating."
The real answer is because it's harmless banter and discussion. If I was so uptight about "preserving my masculinity" then I'd be stiff and boring around such interesting and colorful people.
Earlier today I was with 2 gay men and a 1 lesbian, along with my wife. We had lots of repartee of gay discussions, and at one point Skogafoss exclaimed to the table, "See 4 of us here like men so you are outnumbered!" I quickly did the math and chuckled as one of the gay men returned from the loo, the lesbian filled him in that my wife had just outed me.
It's just about having harmless fun, that's the point of all social interaction isn't it? Or as you keep thinking that KGB has some ulterior motive is that what I should be on the lookout for? Of course not... I'm out to just have fun and enjoy myself in other people's company to broaden my own horizons and visions of the world.
How in the world could I do that if I just kept to the same recipe each and every single day?
