Brokeback Mountain
 

So, the other day a woman i've been sort of dating says "i want to go see this film, but you wouldn't want to go" - I figured it would be some kind of Hillary Duff chicky flicky but, just to further the conversation I ask what film it is. She says "brokeback mountain."

Well, I say, "oh i do want to see that - the reviews have been stunning and I like Ang Lee (with the exception of the horrific hulk)." She then says, "oh, well since you're straight i figured you wouldn't want to see a gay cowboy romance."

Now, my question to the straight men of the board: Will you go see Brokeback Mountain? and, if not, is it simply because its a male-on-male romance?

Yes I'll go, but only wearing sunglasses with pictures of breasts glued to the inside of the lenses...

For real though, yes, I'd like to see it, but I'm broke. Although seeing men kiss/have sex isn't my favourite thing in the world to watch, it's just another thing that goes on in the wide, wonderful world, and if someone's making a good movie that includes such things, who am I to resist? Plus, it's always interesting to see the view from the other side of the fence, if you will. Being gay is inherently a lot more challenging than being straight, there are bound to be a bunch of good stories in that...

Im pretty sure im gonna go check it out.

i have this overwhelming urge to make a joke out of "check it out" - - but in the name of tolerance and my opposition to homophobia - i'll resist

Good Idea;)

every once in a while i give in to my "good" side



(of course, i give in to my evil side on a daily basis)

"sort of dating"? hmm....:p

Anyways. I'm not a guy (for those of you that didn't know), but I'd have no problems seeing a movie with girl on girl, guy on guy, whatever...as long as it seems like a good movie. And if I wanted a guy to go see a movie like that with me I'd hope he wouldn't have a problem with it. Insecurity to the max, I couldn't deal with it.

its a tough moment - when do you 'officially' start dating? how many 'dates' make you 'dating?' - i don't know and i'm not sure i want to push things to find out. . .

advice?

Well...how long have you known her? I would say after 3 consecutive dates you're 'dating' at least. As far as relationships after dating, I wouldn't know...I've never been on an actual 'date'. But if she seems interested and you are too, ask her to be your girl :) You don't wanna wait TOO long, she'll think you don't like her.
