Rude gay friend?
Ok just want to know if I’m overreacting or justifiably upset. I was in the phone with my other gay friend and we have hooked up with the same guy.
He apparently wasn’t into it, but I was, because the guy was really hot. So I said yeah “he had a great body” and he replied “well I have a great body too, but I still didn’t think he was that attractive.”
I made a self-deprecating joke and said “well my body isn’t that great, so makes sense I was more into it haha” To which he replied “yeah you don’t, so makes sense.” I was a bit taken aback and told him that was kinda crazy to say, and he said “well do you want me to be fake and tell you that you have a good body when you don’t?”
For context, I used to be super skinny and have always hated how I look, but now go to the gym and get compliments from my straight friends/family about how healthy I look. But I still have some body issues, especially with how high standards are in the gay community. So am I being overly sensitive right now? I get I kind of set him up with the self-deprecating joke, but wasn’t expecting him to co-sign it and double down.
