Having handsome, and talented straight guy friends is always a good look for a gay dude. It can attract the gay guys into your orbit, and get you noticed by them to say the least.
I have to agree. I build hot rods for fun. Some of the best action I have ever gotten goes like this:
1) Invite one of my VGL str8 friends over to work on the car with me, knowing that they are also playing wing-man that day.
2) Invite the intended 'romp-in-the-sac' over to the house.
3) Roll out from under the old girl as the intended walks up the driveway. Make sure I'm just greasy enough to be sexy and not gross.
4) The wing-man politely bows out for a 'previous engagement.'
5) Explain that I need a shower... I'm sure you can see where this is going.
