December 10, 200520 yr Author Member Hey matt i emailed you and pmed you over at soapoperahistory.. Check that out for me Jay
December 10, 200520 yr Member I'm not gay. I just grew up watching Soaps. I think guys are just scared to admit they watch because the majority of viewers are women. My stepmom's father who is a huge redneck is a big time Y&R fan and isn't scared of people knowing it.
December 10, 200520 yr Author Member im not afraid to admit it either, my Fiancees brother thought i was a punk because i watch soaps and hes picked a fight with me and i handed him his ass but thats another story.
December 10, 200520 yr Member Soaps are just TV shows. There's a stereotype that only women and gay men watch or like soaps but that is so incorrect. I'm straight and have watched soaps off and on since I was a kid (my family watches them). People who try to make fun of guys who watch them probably what soaps themselves and are afraid to "come out". Guys like that suck.
December 10, 200520 yr Member ^^I hate that sterotype, RC. Absolutely detest it. I'm straight and I've watched soaps (admanantly) for about 5 years. But when I was little, if Mama was around me and watching her soaps, I'd sit down and watch them too.
December 10, 200520 yr Member I'm gay, I watch soaps, and I don't care. But it is interesting how sports are traditionally viewed as "male" entertainment, yet lots of women watch them. But they aren't referred to as being gay. DOUBLE STANDARD! P.S. I HATE ESPN with a passion.
December 10, 200520 yr Member I know a TON of guys who are 100% straight or married and who watch soaps. Yah sure there is that stereotype, but stereotypes are ALMOST ALWAYS wrong and are just retarded. My dad who is married, happily has been a soap watcher for as long as I can remember.
December 10, 200520 yr Member There are plenty of straight guys here. We tend to overlook them, however, because we know they can't help it and we know it's just a phase they'll grow out of.
December 10, 200520 yr Member I know a lot of straight guys who watch soaps. My grandpa is a retired coal miner and he watches the whole CBS lineup. And you do not bother him while his soaps are on lol My Dad watches Days and Passions, he has my mom record them while he's at work. I have met alot of guys at work who watch soaps, it just takes a while for them to admit it
December 10, 200520 yr Member There are straight guys on this board. There are also some who change their sexual preference ever 5 min or so from gay to straight. But to answer your question there are many straight guys who watch soaps and that post here.
December 10, 200520 yr Member My grandparents used to watch GL. Some of my first real memories of the show happened at their house. Their house was close to my school, so my mom would pick me up and we would go visit their house. I started watching because of the strong lineage of the show in my family.
December 10, 200520 yr Member Soaps appeal to guys whether they are straight or gay - sexuality has nothing to do with it! I'm gay, but I don't only watch soaps for the shirtless hunks(although they are a major attraction). I like a good, longrunning SL, larger than life characters, action, romance, adventure, excitement etc.
