That is really really interesting! Thank you.

I think we do approach things differently, as you've noted. Apart from being rather sexualized, I'm also quite maternal (as you no doubt know) and thus tend to "meet" people on a very intimate level. I've asked relatively new friends if they were gay if I had the impression that they were holding back and scouting me out. I'm more likely to do this in real life, when an invitation to my house is forthcoming, as I want them to be comfortable bringing the person they choose.

For me, the better I know someone, the more open I can be with them. I love word play and innuendo, and have no problem teasing gay friends as mercilessly as straight friends. It just adds another avenue for humor and lightheartedness.

I'm wondering how much of the differences between my approach and yours have to do with three factors:
1. our ages
2. our marital statuses
3. our relative desire for intimacy within the context of friendship

Interesting topic.
