Yes, they are of me - I don't know who you are referring to with this WA/State guy, but if there's a similarity, it's just that, a similarity. I don't know how often, but that occurrs.
Still, I think there's a significant difference between not expressing affection and regarding other men as objects - lacking affection doesn't necessarily lead to this view towards other men.

It's a damn thing if the Edit button fails all the time, especially during you're typing... so here's a little addition.
Oh, and one more word about the newly fashionable term "cavemen" (who drag their females by the hair)... those who have to use violent/forceful measures to keep their woman around them, or dissect them from any social life, aren't men in my eyes - you know the little rhyme, "Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater, had a wife and couldn't keep her. He put her in a pumpkin shell, and there he kept her very well."

The irony being that there are so few men who do it today, it's likely so antithetical to human nature that it doesn't happen. Not to mention evolutionary suicide (since she might be, I don't know, pregnant).

[/b][/quote]Didn't really understand all the above, but wanted to point out that, according to that raving feminist organization called the FBI, the number of men who use force against their partners numbers in the millions in the US alone. And unfortunately, whether it's evolutionarily sound or not, there's no indication that those men become less violent if their wife is pregnant. Hello, Scott Peterson?
I don't think I'm limiting myself at all. I think I'm just being true to who I am. I am sexually attracted to women. And while I do see beauty in men, I don't want to have sex with a man. And the beauty I see in men is a type of brotherly thing; in other words, it makes me feel proud to see that other men are good looking because it makes me feel like I come from a good looking "group." On the other hand, being straight, there seems to be a bit of competition and/or jealousy when I see that another guy is either better looking than me and/or hung better. But I don't think competition is a strictly straight male thing, but a human thing. Don't tell me gay men don't get competitive, and we all know how competitive women can be.

[/b][/quote]I think men are more competitive than women and/or gay men. Submission, it seems to me, just is not an inherent quality in many heterosexual males.
I do side with you Skinny, in that I do think EVERYONE is competitive and has their share of prideful characteristics. Humans are this way, and, it is a limiting quality.
This reminds me of a quote from, the anti-humanist, Henry Miller: "True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself."

[/b][/quote]Ummm, then there's a little problem here. "Eric the Ebay Model" has a big ol' yahoo group devoted to him:

Some of the hot pics you posted in your gallery -- and the one in Lauren's gallery -- are the same as the ones found here of Eric, a guy from Washington State who sold 1000s of pics of himself and his underwear on Ebay back in 2000-1. Are you really him? If you are, let me tell you, you fueled lots of hot chat and discussion all across America... If not, something's up.

- Grit,
I don't have any attractions to guys. If a guy came on to me I would be out of there -- thats just not for me. And that is not to say that I can't be friends with a guy.
Now women... well here I can relate and share. Sex with a girl thats a sharing of emotions that I just would not be able to share with a guy.

I just wonder why you can't share emotions with a guy? I mean, without the sex part?

Because we're taught that we're not supposed to have emotions, let alone share them with another man. "Straight men just don't do those things."
It's natural and healthy to want to bond and share emotional things with guys and I think the tide is finally turning. It's cool to be able to have a close guy friend that you can share with and it not be sexual. It's a whole brother kind of relationship. For those of us who don't have a real brother, having a close male friend is important--that intimate non-sexual male relationship is very special to me.

Viking, I agree 100% with you on this topic, and your mesage was beautifully written. When we give someone a real hug, we really are telling the other person 'Hey, I've missed you, how have you been?'.
Although it was quite rare just a few years ago, I have noticed that Canadian men seem to hug other men (or other women ) more than ever before, and I think that it's nice. On the other hand, kissing between two straight men is rare, and seems limited to Canadians of Greek, Russian or French (not French Canadian) extraction.
I believe that if two people feel like hugging or kissing each other, then let them be.
Hugs to all!

I've been lucky to have several deep platonic friendships with men. All friendships can bring something unique and rewarding, and the kind of bond you can have with a "brother" is one of the greatest things in life. A few times some of those friendships have gotten so strong that it felt almost like being in love. It's almost never led to anything sexual, although I guess it's not impossible that a few could have. Anyway, I feel sorry for guys who are too shut down to have a chance to experience this, but hey - to each their own. Some people live for parachuting out of planes and I don't feel bad that I'll never experience that.
