This guys should just realize the Peach is a very nice, concerned person. He can’t help it if some Cossacks are cute.
This reminds me of the way straights — especially men — are intimidated or even enraged when a gay person hits on them. Can you imagine what would happen if women reacted to straight men the same way? A co-worker of Nearest’s, at an after-work dinner, was simply outraged that a gay man had asked him out to coffee. Which set off the women into laughing accounts of the horrible ways we’ve all been approached. Is there any woman who, sitting on a crowded bus, hasn’t found some standing guy — often a respectable- looking man in a suit — grinding his crotch against some part of her? And who hasn’t been called a bitch for refusing the advance?
If you’re a guy who doesn’t act like that, good for you! You join the Peach, who would never make such approaches. His lover, Rosen, on the other hand, is the other guy. He’s got it, he knows it, and he can’t really see how anybody could turn him down. Sadly enough, he’s one of those impossible people who seem to have it all and never suffer for what they do, no matter what — and everybody still loves them. It’s GOTTA be the pheromones.
That, or those hips….
A lesbian co-worker of mine would occasionally flirt with me. She knew perfectly well I was straight, but sometimes she just did it. I was rather flattered that she’d even bother! :-)
I know. The proper response is, “Take it as a compliment.” I know I’ve heard a lot of women told that, and why shouldn’t the guys take their own good advice, when for once they’re being wise? They should remember their other piece of traditonal advice: “Lie back and enjoy it.” (Or is that, “Think of England”?).
