Fag Hags

Go to any gay clubs and you will almost certainly find at least half a dozen of straight women. The fag hag phenomena started on or about the same time gay people started coming out of the closet (in troops) in the early 21st century.

It's no denying that our gay friends are out with a vengeance today. In fact everytime I meet a good-looking guy who wears the right shoes that matches his pants, I always assume that he is gay until and unless proven otherwise ...like if he starts talking about football or have dirty nails.

There are tons of reasons why women prefers to hang out with gay men. Fair enough we can't get into their pants at the end of the night, but women are not really not that lust-crazy to begin with (reeeeeally!!). Here are ten examples why we love them so much:

1. Hanging out with good looking men makes you look good.
2. You can touch them all you want and they will not think you want to sleep with them.
3. You can discuss everything under the sun from handbags, makeup, tinseltown gossips to Paris Hilton.
4. You can trust them to give you their honest opinion on everything ("Darling, this dress is so not you. You look like Oprah Winfrey before the diet")
5. They have the best groove on the dancefloor.
6. They have no reservations when it comes to partying - any day of the week is fine.
7. They are fitness buffs and make good gym buddies. ("Come on, work it girl. How else are you gonna look good in Lycra?")
8. They give the best advice on sex and BJ. In fact, they show you a demonstration if required.
9. They are after all men, and naturally gives the best advice on men and how to deal with them.
10. Their bf turarnound rate is so fast you never feel like a slut yourself.

All in all, gay men make the best 'girlfriend' - minus all the emotional baggage when dealing with a female. Girls can be so much work sometimes. When you tell a girl your problems, they always cut you short by whining about their own problems instead. Tell a gay man your problem, he will simply tell you that you are the most fabulous creature in the world and that good-for-nothing bastard does not deserve a goddess like you - then bring you out dancing all night. Sometimes, that is just what every depressed girl needs.

Last week, I went out clubbing with a group of new gay friends. Though I never met them before that, we were having belly-aching laughs all night long. When I complained that there are no good looking people around, I was told that clubbing nowadays are BYOGLM ("Bring your own good looking men"). Following that, the group of them crowded me in a tight squeeze and said, "Ok, go tell your friends tomorrow that you are surrounded by good looking men all night long"! Hahahhahahaha!

Common comments from heterosexuals:

"Eh, why you hang out with gay men? How to find bf?"

You can actually get to meet many cool UNBIASED straight men through gay friends. One of my bf criteria is that he cannot be a homophobic - it just shows that they are dull small-minded bigots.

"Yucks, I will never go to a gay club. Sure get molested."

Don't flatter yourself by assuming that all gay men are lecherous octopus out to grope every men (like you) who cross their path. They have standards, you know.

I am lucky that I have a group of really really loving & supportive gay friends who have been there for me through thick and thin over the decade. And I have continuously meet more and more gay people over the years who never fail to bring me much mirth and fun. Call me a fag hag, but gay men - you guys are just fabulous!
