This is the problem
I came across this post today
Getting Straight To The Point
TL;DR: guy worried about gays hitting on him, instructors asks hopw many girls have hit on him
This demonstrates an all too common problem. Men are afraid of "gays" hitting on them.
I'd have been tempted to ask the guy "Do you hit on girls?" And (assuming he said yes) "So what do you do if they say no?"
*That* is what most of these guys are actually afraid of. That gay men would treat them the way they treat women.
Pointing that out might just help them to treat women better.
