Thought in my head about if you suspect someone of being poly and your interested them, is it worth asking?

This does relate to my previous post and I like the “just flirt” route since its got the best case for it

    I don’t get offended when anybody hits on me, but the answer’s gonna be no regardless of whether they got the same thing in their pants as my wife. I’m not into masculine body types and I’m not into cock. The person behind either/both does have feelings and there’s no sense in being rude because they shot their shot.

        Most people don’t think or behave like I do. That was hard to accept when I was a kid, and something I’ve spent years learning to deal with.

        I’ve also been called an egg and I had to look up what that means. They were saying I’m trans and in the closet about it (as in, the egg hasn’t cracked/hatched yet). That came up because I play female characters in video games. It started with Fallout 3 because you get a perk for being female. Better vendor prices from men, and more damage dealt against male enemies (guess what most raiders are; also, I think monsters default to male). A lot of games had perks like that. Animal Crossing is largely made for girls, so something like 60-75% of the furniture, clothing, and other style choices are female-focused. So my villagers are girls. Yes, I realise this means I’m basically playing with dolls and building a dollhouse on an island with cute animals. I… don’t care. It’s a relaxing, chill game. Then you have games like Mass Effect and Cyberpunk 2077, where playing the male character seems like a handicap to the story or voice acting quality. I’ll play a guy if I have to (currently playing The Witcher 3). Anyway, I’m not trans, nor an “egg.” I’ve considered it. Asked myself “is there any merit to that argument?”. I cannot find one. I also kill people in video games, but I have no desire to kill anyone in real life. Sometimes a game is just a game, and role playing means you’re stepping out of your comfort zone and playing a role.

        I can’t speak for other men/AMAB people. I can only speak for myself. I don’t mean to say others think like me or do like I do.
