I just wanted to get some thoughts because I am technically bisexual but grew up in a major abstinence until marriage upbringing. So I was always very cautious about making sure I always treat women with respect and would never want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Despite the fact that I am attracted to women, I often feel like they don't see me as a sexual partner or a relationship however, I get along with women all the time and have joked about being the gay friend who's actually straight.

I'm not trying to make this post sound like I'm in a friend zone situation because oftentimes I don't even have a crush or any specific woman in mind. I also feel odd because if I was in a friend zone type situation, I would feel that I would be perceived maybe as unattractive or ugly universally however, I found with many gay guys, I am incredibly attractive, hot, desirable. Also, with old women, I am perceive as handsome. But I do mean old women....

So I guess my question is, do women often ignore men they think give off a gay vibe that they feel safe around but just not interested in sexually because they feel the guy may not play for the straight team? I just find it weird that I can be virtually unnoticeable as a sexual option for women but very desirable among men. I am also a 5'7 which I don't know if that is a turn off for women and mostly irrelevant for guys.

Thanks for the thoughts and comments
