GayBravado
#54148
This {{asexual}} troper is extremely physical with her best female friend and is always hugging her and telling her how much she loves her. her friend responds by acting like a {{tsundere}}. we have a few fanboys.

Junior year in Marching band, this troper saw this a lot. It was mostly between certain members of the brass section and the drum major, who would just chuckle and blow the comments off. Maybe that was poor word choice... Excuse the IncrediblyLamePun, please.
#54150
I do this with my guy friends all the freaking time, except with one friend it went to far and went into an experimental thing that we agreed to never speak of it again.
#54151
You mean apart from right now?
#54152
Some time ago (stated this way so to not hint my age) at my middle school, I overheard a few boys comparing their...man parts under the table. During lunch. {{Squick}}.
#54153
I saw more of this when I played football in high school. We shit-talked to each other in ways that would make a YaoiFangirl blush.
#54154
This actually happened a lot backstage during my high school drama career. Our troupe was unbelievably close-knit and sexually open, so it wasn't really a far stretch to have any two actors hitting on one another, regardless of gender or orientation. Cue interesting moments for this bisexual troper, one of which involved kissing another bisexual female friend so that two very heterosexual crew guys, who weren't quite as comfortable in their heterosexuality, would kiss. It was spectacular.
#54155
The guys in my year at school are very much like this, they write things like 'I Love Anus' on each other's pencil cases, and in today's English class, the two guys sitting in the front row while we were watching a film started wrapping their arms around each other. This Troper, being a {{yaoi fangirl}}, was extremely amused.
#54156
This troper quite frequently makes inappropriate comments towards male friends, as well as suddenly acting
extremely effeminately, although there's no particular reason for any of it.
It's just fun. And it freaks people out surprisingly effectively. Then again, I'm not entirely sure what my orientation is, but completely straight seems the least likely.
#54157
This female Tropette does this all the time to my female friends. And because I'm {{Asexual}}, I count hitting on boys in this fashion GayBravado as well.
#54158
{{Asexual}} bravado is so much more fun than GayBravado. Your pool of targets doubles and there's not "closet" suspicion, giving you a free pass for pretty much anything. In our group, the running joke is that I'm "dating" one (bisexual) girl who's recently become single and I'm the "backup" for at least two other people whose sexualities are incompatible with my gender, including one who just got married.

Every one of the regulars in the fencing club at Tropers/KhittyHawk's university.
#54161
This (gay) troper flirts a lot with his (straight) friends and a lot flirt back. It's lots of fun. Like playing the game of courtly love.
#54162
This troper does this to check for StraightGay acquaintances, for future reference.
#54163
This troper and some of his closer friends are walking cases of this. They are all quite comfortable in their heterosexuality (just thought I'd point that out), and have a ton of fun playing gay chicken. They have all gotten very, very good at it; it rarely stops before tongues now.
#54164
My entire friend group is like this, although gender flipped since we're all ladies. Actually, I'm not sure how many of us it actually counts for anymore...I've become comfortable with my bisexuality fairly recently, and I have one possibly-not-so-straight friend, but I think everybody else is straight. In any case, none of us are together at all, but we joke all the time about our sexy lesbian threesomes and our dramatic love quadrangles. We've even worked it into a story where we're battling troupes of superheroes/supervillains with ''very'' complicated love lives. I can't imagine what people who hear snips of our conversations must think about us, but we're kind of the crazy weird nerds around school so nobody really knows how to deal with us anyways.

I do High School Theatre. I would need a whole different page to list all the examples I could list.
#54166
As someone else who was in high school theatre, I second this (though a particularly interesting incident involved a straight friend winning gay chicken against a gay guy).
#54167
I am pretty much the embodiment of this trope, I'm bi of the AnythingThatMoves variety, and this is often my way of flirting with guys that I will never have...in bed. Since I'm closeted they usually play along
#54168
Just the other day, my roommates, I'll call them Alex and Bob, had a this conversation: #QUOTE#'''Alex''': Have you guys been looking at my ''Playboy''s again? #QUOTE#'''Me''': Yeah, and there are two new stains on Miss December. #QUOTE#'''Alex''': You had a circle jerk without inviting me? #QUOTE#'''Me''': I can go again.
#54169
My two guy friends in high school had this so much that I actually went to betting them $2 to kiss. It almost happened but unfortunately, it didn't. I forget why but I think it had to do with the cost being too little (I only had $2 on me at the time)
#54170
Two of my friends in high school had a version of gay chicken going on where, over a coule weeks, they would kiss each other on the cheek.
The winner was the one who had kissed the other the most times. The competition reached its peak when they both went for a kiss at the same time, and they ended up kissing on the lips. I, being a gay man myself, thought they made a really cute couple.
#54172
This
straight troper and her lesbian friend flirt all the time. To the point where one will run up and violently glomp the other. She has at one point greeted me, "Hey, sexy." ...Yeah.
#54173
This (lesbian) troper often plays 'Straight Chicken' with her male friens. She almost always wins. She also once teased a girl out of the closet using this method.
#54174
The friends at school has questioned my sexuality if i were gay or bi, because i can tangle in sexual innuendos and jokes in almost any sentence or make a joke. They stopped worry when they found out that i had read the Bible and could quote Jesaja, albeit my jokes have not stoped. Sometimes they are clever, but occasionaly they are quite blunt. ->'''Friend:''' "''Like seriously. You are strong. You could Beat down Kevin if you would want to right now, right?''" ->'''Me:''' "''I don“t want sex.''"
#54175
This troper doesn't play often, but he plays for keeps...
Let me start again. A couple of friends have tried this on me, and I've made it plenty clear that they're the ones uncomfortable with it. I'm bi, but they're not my type.
#54176
This Troper knows of a guy who likes to chant 'Bi when drunk!' at parties even though we are 100% certain he is straight, yet to show how awesome and confident he is (his words not mine), he'll play and win gay chicken with his friends. His homophobic friend doesn't like him when he's drunk.
#54177
One of
This Male Troper's friends from high school was a YaoiFangirl, and the rest of my friend group got easily {{Squicked}} by HoYay. We used to joke about the HoYay in the shows we both liked ({{Naruto}} and KatekyoHitmanReborn mostly) and messed with my other friends by showing them the more disturbing scenes in BusouRenkin. (Papillion's man thong)
#54178
One of this Troper's female friends was very close, and many people thought we were gay, which we thought was hilarious. This led to us indulging in this trope quite a lot. At one point, we both leant forward to kiss the other before class started, expecting the other to shy away at the last moment... neither did. We both pulled away, and my own boyfriend burst out laughing at the equal looks of incredulity on both our faces...
#54179
This Troper and her friends do this a lot. Now I'm bisexual, and one of my friends is... curious, anyways, but we're not together (the bicurious one has a boyfriend who is one of the people among this group of friends). No actual sex involved, but things have gotten, uh... very far, especially in games of Truth or Dare (especially between me and the two friends mentioned). Also played straight in the way that we make the boyfriend and his best friend do things, and they "flirt" with each other all the time.
#54180
This male troper has a friend who does this a lot with his other friends and himself. The catch? I'm bisexual, and my friend didn't always know this at the time. I have various reasons for wanting to stay in the closet for now (but have come out to him, and a few others), so I really tried to stay out of it. I would lose at Gay Chicken practically every time because of this, even though my friends are all 100% straight (and I have since confirmed this since coming out of the closet with them). But it still made things very awkward since occasionally it seemed they weren't just fooling around.
