Yeah. Even then, we recognized there was something unusual about that high school friend, something admirable. As an adult, with hindsight, I don't think he was as confident as he affected--but damn, was it a good act, and he used it in a kind manner.
I admit, my knee jerks with the straw man of "only way straight boys can't get shat on is be celibate," just because that kind of guilt-tripping was instrumental in the Raping Year.
Taking rejection with grace is a social skill I think everyone should learn.
