One woman (Susan) interviewed talks about the Mommy tendencies. She loves her gay male friends because she can take care of them. She helps them do their laundry, cooks for them, pampers them when they are sick. It is an opportunity to care for another person who likes equally to be taken care of. This is not to say all gay men are child like, but Susan seeks out those that need her. It makes her feel like an important part of their lives. I personally experienced this phenomenon in reverse. I had two gay friends who acted like my Mommy and Daddy, buying me presents, dressing me up (since I have NO fashion sense according to them.) They even bought me a hamster and tucked me into bed at night. Through this relationship we each felt a sense of family and each fulfilled a role that we were longing to play. Next >>
