People Constantly Think I'm Gay

I never understood it. I live in the US but was born into a conservative(sex = bad/taboo) Palestinian Christian family. I lived outside the US during high school. I don't have the American macho type personality.

I overheard women at work talking about me being gay even though I tried to date one of them.

My sex addiction therapist even asked me if I'm gay. She ask me after six months of therapy and telling her about my relationships with two women and the twenty or so female sex workers I've seen. I even told her that she is hot and it might be a problem when it comes to therapy.

I have nothing against homosexuality but I find it quite hard to develop any sort of relationship if every woman thinks I'm gay.

Is there anything I can do to change that impression?

do you wear "flamboyant" clothing or speak in a very high pitch voice? so gay stereotypes.

also, will need photo of your therapist.

I have worn colored dress shirts like purple, hot pink, or torquies. They are nice shirts. Other than that nothing another man wouldn't wear. My voice is actually pretty deep.

depth of voice doesn't have anything to do with anything. you're doing something that is giving them this impression. just figure out what it is, bro. maybe don't ask them where they got their nail polish or play in their hair. :3

i laughed more than I should have.
 
There are mannerisms/speech patterns that people pick up on that tend to be a "tell" for if someone's gay. Lots of gay guys have em naturally, some play them up as a signalling mechanism, and some don't have them at all. I've definitely known a few "false alarms" in the past- it's not a "macho" thing where an absence of hyper-masculinity is bothering people, it's something that people are picking up on that's flagging their gaydar. It's hard to tell what it is without a video or talking to you though.
 
Same thing happens with me OP. Not sure why. I don't think my voice is high pitched and I dress pretty simple.

I have no idea. She tells me that I have a more European male personality and not macho. However, she was kind of embarrassed about the whole situation at the end of the session.
 
I am finding it difficult to understand what OP is trying to say here. Why should your therapist ask you if you are gay or not after 6 months. Also after telling her that you have been with lot of women before. Also pics would help.
 
You probably are then. Studies show that people have a good gaydar in general. They are, on average, able to recognize 80 out of 100 gay/lesbians without knowing about their sexuality.

Yep.

I do have a bad understanding of relationships which is part of my sex addiction. However, my therapist could not have a more dumb question.

I mean if you truly aren't gay, I probably would have gotten a new therapist because that sounds incredibly dumb
 
If you have the chance you could just straight up ask them why they thought that you're gay. And yeah, not sure what that says about the quality of the therapist. Maybe you can find someone better
 
I am not sure why you would trouble yourself with this. Who cares what they think, really (except your therapist who should be fired lol)? Show them you're confident in your sexuality by not concerning yourself too much with it and possibly taking them to pound town.

Nobody ever pegs me as gay, but I can assure you I am as gay as spring time. People are different with different temperaments and demeanors.

This post is so much better imagining it is coming from Sledge Hammer.

do you have an american male personality? if so, that's probably why you're flying under the radar. the euroman race is much less macho, genetically speaking.
