    What is it like to be completely straight guy?
    You know as a bisexual/ some what gay guy, I’ve always wondered what it like is to be completely straight. I would really like to get into the skin of a straight man and know for once how it feels, because I end up feeling weird at times when I’m surrounded by folks.
    I mean while growing up as a kid I had this intense struggle with myself, I wasn’t typical conventional kid like most young normal boys are, was very weak in sports often ridiculed, teased even poked at by others, including my physical training instructor.
    I especially found it difficult to get through my father (though he’s sweet person), I’m sure my dad must have had some different expectation from me as an individual, probably he thought of me a s a typical straight boy, which I really wasn’t, and I never really could not live up to those. All guys in my clan would run around girls and I would run after other guys elder to me.

    Even in high school/college there was this real intense struggle, coping with other guys, peer pressure stuff like that, you know, it was sometimes difficult being in complete conventional male company, so much so that I would find it difficult to speak, although I eventually learned to handle situation

    But still if only for 1 day, I could be a typical straight normal heterosexual guy, I would really want to know what it is like?

    What makes you think it would be different from what you have now? You are bi, so really you should already know how a straight guy feels. Many straight guys are lousy at sports and get ridiculed for it. That's nothing new, so I fail to understand the curiosity of being a straight guy, because there is no formula, or type that would fit every straight guy.

    Now if you want to improve your athletic abilities, hit the gym. Practice the skills and be admired for it. But why daydream of being straight? Or the stereotype of straight guys. Be yourself, and be admired as a good person who happens to be bi.

    Exactly... speaking as a straight guy... and having known many other straight guys without an interest or aptitude for sports...

    The only difference is a straight guy doesn't look at another guy and get any thoughts or ideas like he would get looking at a female.
