what about Bernardo from the movie West Side Story?? Chicks fell over themselves for that guy and he was gay.
Funny story- when i was single my buddy and i went to Jones Beach in NY every single Sunday to meet as many women as possible....one day we are walking on the beach and we come across this section that’s all gay guys...as i’m ready to do a u-turn and high tail it out of there my buddy says, “I’m glad all these guys are drop dead gorgeous?” And I’m like “WTF??!!”
He says, “it takes them out of circulation and less competition for us with the babes!!”
He had a lot of Yogi-isms like that...one time, again when we were out hunting for babes, he said, “We’ll either going out with women that are much younger than us or much older than us the next few years,” We were maybe 30YO at the time....i ask, “why?” He replies, “Most women want to be married by the age of 24 and they get divorced at 40”
It was funny but made sense...
George Chakiris. Yes, he was another good looking gay guy. I see he is still alive too. Born in 1932.
My oldest son who is now 58, told me in high school that he never wanted to get married or have a family. I don't know if it was because I divorced his father in '79, and he turned out to be an absentee father. He hasn't seen or talked to his two sons for probably 30+ years. He remarried and moved to Arizona.
When he told me in high school that he didn't want to get married or have kids, I told him that he needed to know that he would go through a lot of women in his life, because that's what a women wants. I also told him that it didn't matter how many times you told those women that you didn't want marriage or children, they would think that they were the ones who would get you to change your mind. I told him he'd be better off finding an older woman to be his sugar mama. Another thing I told both of my sons is that if they ever did choose to marry, that they needed to realize that it was a life-time commitment, and that I didn't think that either of them would want a child of theirs growing up without a father as they had.
He had a girlfriend for several years when he was in college, and had three long-time live-in girlfriends, but each left because they wanted more out of the relationship. He's been alone for many years now, choosing to remain single because as he put it, he doesn't have time to entertain anyone. He's basically turned into his mother, because after my divorce, I dated a couple of people for several years, but the relationships never went any further. I told myself then that I was never going to live with anyone, especially with my kids still living with me, because they already had a father, and I wasn't about to bring another man into the home. I'm 77, going on 78. I haven't dated anyone since the late 70's and have been perfectly happy alone. No complications and no problems. There is something to say about solitude. My son has his own interests outside of his work, and since the scamdemic ended, has gotten back into traveling overseas. He has friends in Germany that come into Berlin for dinner and drinks whenever he goes there.
There was a time when I was a 3-4 years away from turning 50, and was feeling down because I didn't have someone. I was also down because I'd been waiting for a Civil Service promotion for 5 years, and had been passed by on the list because they gave extra points to minorities in the department, and promoted them instead. At that time I told myself, if I hadn't found anyone by the time I was 50, I didn't want to live. I finally got the promotion not long after, which gave me something else to focus on. I was also working on my masters, and was busy traveling to various places doing historical research so I didn't have time to be lonely. Once I turned 50, I remembered what I'd said the years before, and said to myself, I'd had to have been nuts to even think that.
