Talk about reading more into something than was there. The answer to the poor fellow being hit on by gay males is "No, if your wife dressed better, gays will still hit on you." I am a gay male. I "hit" on people I am attracted to, not guys with shabbly-dressed companions. If you are a hot man, sitting at a gay club, you are going to get hit on. Whether you are gay or straight is irrelevent. I can't tell if people are gay or not (despite the wide-spread believe in gaydar, it really is most unreliable). Frankly, I don't care. If the person I am is interested in me, I am not particular about the label he decides for himself. I have had very nice sexual encounters with "straight" men. If you are not interested, then a polite rejection is all that is necessary. That you are not interested because you are staight is irrelevent. There are, much to my disappointment, other gay men not sexually interested in me, so, the "why" of the rejection is not important. Just be kind and turn the attention toward more fertile ground.
All that psychobable from Terry should be ignored.
