A theater director writes in the February issue of a men’s sophisticate:
If people want to make assumptions, why not use it to my advantage? For instance, if a woman tinks you’re gay, she’s automatically more physical wiht you. Igave my future ex-wife (an actor) plenty of my famous back rubs before she figured out I wasn’t a fabulous gay man. In fact, she and a male cast member were taking bets on which of them was going to hook up with me first. …Allowing women to entertain this possibility not only makes me more approachable, it makes me more of a romantic challenge.
…These days, I try not to date actors. They’re crazy and demand constant attention. Women who work backstage, on the other hand, are a lot more down-to-earth.
