It seems everyone where I live in New York has an entertaining gay officemate and water-cooler conversations revolving around dating, where the OGC routinely delivers the wittiest bits of interpersonal disaster. But the description of one's OGF is always vague: “He's very nice”-“He's sweet”-“He's a good guy”-anything that can be used to describe a soggy puppy or a scented candle.įrequently, the OGF isn't even an "F," but is more of a "C"-a colleague. The latter three groups are described specifically: “He has strong cheekbones and jet-black hair ” “He has won awards for inventing ecologically-sound water bottles made from plastic alternatives ” “He wears vintage Rolexes and can also discuss comparative religions”-and so forth. It's easy for me to tell when people are setting me up with an OGF, rather than with their CGF (coolest gay friend), HGF (hottest), or SGF (smartest). Because we both pleasured ourselves under a woolly blanket while lounging in our respective family rooms as pre-teens watching Tom Selleck on Magnum P.I.

The supposed point of connection would be laughable, if it weren't so often assumed: Their OGF is gay I am gay. More than a few of those friends-thinking that I am a “catch” so why am I single?-have attempted to set me up with what I have termed their OGF, their "Other Gay Friend." There is a problem with being-gay-and-dating when most of my friends are straight.
