Lost for words...

Here's my story:

I was working in Vienna a few years ago, and I clocked off at about 1 in the afternoon. So I went for a walk in a local park, where a gentleman of the homosexual persuasion walked up to me, waggled his eyebrows, and asked "queer?", obviously looking for some action.

My German is extremely basic, and the only think I could think of to say was, "nein, danke."

Has anyone ever given a more inappropriate response than this?

I was in a bar on canal street in Manchester on a work night out, I couldn't get past this guy who was sat at the bar. Imagine his delight when I asked if I could push his stool in!

Fancy thinking that "nein, danke" means "your place, or mine?"

You lost out there son.

It depends on your orientation but if you wanted to say ''no thanks'' then your response was totally appropriate and polite enough. ''Ja, bitte'' would have been the alternative. And that would have led to a different story altogether.

I think I may be missing something here

Somebody asked you if you wanted to have sex with them, which you didn't, so you replied "No thanks".

I think I'm missing something too..?

Well I just thought that most people would have a few choice words for somebody who walks up to them in a public park in broad daylight and propositions them for gay sex.

"No thanks" doesn't really fit the circumstances.

I think the response "no thanks" is one I would agree with. What else could you say ?

How about "fucken sie off."

My God, I never knew you lot were so polite. :shock:

What if it was straight sex?

The subject came up in work once. Everyone, to a man, reported that they'd have 'choice words' and described how they'd follow it up with some degree of violence. Macho bravado is easy when you're not in the situation. It's happened to me twice - both times I ran away. IME you can't really know how you'll react until it happens.

only if you are so uncomfortable with your own sexuality that the sexuality of another individual casues you so much consternation!

and like someone else said...what if it was a woman who had propositioned you for straight sex? would you think that " most people would have a few choice words for somebody who walks up to them in a public park in broad daylight and propositions them for sex."

and the correct response is always...no thanks. I am straight. but thanks for the compliment.

Having worked with a lot of gay guys similar has happened on occasion. It is actually flattering that men do find me attractive even if I'm not interested.

On another, rather similar note. I had a friend of mine check some cracks in the wall at the side of my house, turned out to be nothing serious. He then said 'Come around to my house later and I'll show you the cracks I have'. I couldn't stop the silly joke and said 'people will get the wrong idea about us, you've seen my crack now you want to show me yours!' just as I said it a guy from up the street, who is openly gay, was walking past, looked at us and gave us both a HUGE smile.

Oh how we laughed.

It's nothing to do with sexuality or macho attitudes - I wouldn't walk up to a complete stranger in a park in broad daylight, and ask them for sex. Would any of you?

And if I did it to a woman, I'd expected a swift, hard kick in the balls.

I would guess that that particular park is a known pick-up spot for gay Vienese men and you were just in the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time.

Either that or he's a random nutter.

With apologies for borrowing someone's nick on here, I'm just shocked, so shocked. This has only happened to you ONCE? Geez,you need to get out more!!

No violence for me thanks, I'd never hit somebody for that.

Maybe random nutter. The park was in the city centre, and full of families. My Viennese colleagues were first shocked, then they found it really funny.

Did you check for hidden camera's in this park?

It was probably an Austrian spin off of Balls of Steel and the Big Gay Following.

The first time was when I was probably 15 :shock: sitting in a barber’s chair getting my hair cut. My barber said take this but don’t look at it until you are outside and handed me a scrap of paper. I put it in my pocket until I got outside when I looked at it and it had “call me” and his name and phone number on it. Remembering that at this point in time that I was still a Child it took up to a minute for me to realise that he doesn’t want to play jumpers for goalposts football or join in our weekend BMX rides to a skate park. I walked straight back in, threw the piece of paper at him and at the top of my voice let him know that I wasn’t interested.

The second time was in a shop in Brent Cross (I’m still young at this point), on a previous shopping trip there my then GF pointed out some things she liked, being a good little boyfriend I went back and bought them and a few other bits and pieces a while later when she bought her flat. The fellow serving me totalled everything up and I was no more than £2 or £3 short of the amount needed to purchase everything I wanted. I pointed out that I didn’t have enough on me, I apologised and said that I would put something back. He looked at me, smiled (you would think I would have realised what was going on this time) and took one of the items and secreted it in a box with another item and didn’t charge me for it. I thanked him and was getting ready to leave the shop still wondering WTF is going on when he asked me if I came to Brent Cross often, I confirmed that I came with my GF once every few Months and ran away as quickly as I could.

The third time was at work, one of the accountants told his colleague that he fancied me and that he was going to ask me out. He was advised by his Colleague that his gaydar was off kilter in this instance but this didn’t deter him. Thankfully his Colleague gossiped to one of the Company Secretaries who suggested that to save both of us from any embarrassment he could say that I was dating her. I didn’t find out until over a year later which miffed me as the secretary was quite lovely and I would have happily made her fib not be a fib anymore but she had left.

The fourth time (not quite the same) I arranged to meet some friends for a drink in a pub. I knew the pub and remembered that it was a tottie rich environment and that I should make a bit of an effort. The pub was packed and one of my mates pointed out that he had membership to a Working Mens Club not too far away and that he could get us all in if it was just for a few beers. Within 20 mins of being in this “Working” Mens Club I was asked if I was a Policeman and that if so I wasn’t welcome, if I was a drug dealer and that if so I wasnt welcome or if I was gay and if so that I wasn’t welcome.

Thank you so much.

I used to get a lot of gay attention in my tender years - the two that most memorable was a bloke who followed me out from the student bar in Woolwich and seemed to know where I lived - and just wouldn;t relent - kept telling me it wasn't all "about going up the bum" - he even knew I was studying engineering - apparently he was in electrical work or something. I did finally get through to him though. Eventually. Never saw him again thankfully.

the other one was at a party in Hammersmith - i got chatted up by a fat gay bus driver while i was trying to chat up this rather sexy girl - and getting somewhere i might add. Luckily I'd been drinking tennats super which disagreed with me and I vomited all over him. Never saw him again either - or the girl, unfortunately.

you should stop wearing those open back jhodpurs.

i was just a good looking boy with a nice arse - women used to compliment my ars.e too (sometimes). But I am sure as hell glad that I never had to go to prison!! :shock: :?
