Kind of reinforces the stereotype...


...that just because a guy is gay, he's attracted to ALL guys (or all other gay guys). The way Simon kept fantasizing about and then subsequently falling in love with all of the various guys he suspected were 'Blue' throughout the movie. Just because two guys are gay doesn't make them an instant match! I was honestly hoping Blue would end up being some fat slob, forcing Simon to realize he'd created a fantasy in his head or forcing him to evaluate what he was really attracted to in Blue's emails, but nope!

Idk he really only imagined maybe 4 guys? He was guessing, could it be him - Is he gay too?

Landscaper - Simon is attracted to him. He's a very attractive college aged guy. Girls would be saying he's hot too.
Bram - gave clear hint with the Oreos Very attractive male.
Diner guy - Attractive, seemed possible with what he was saying and how nice he was. Charming.
Theater kid - Attractive and also seemed it could be him with some of his stories aligning to Blues.

Am I missing anyone? 4 attractive people is hardly "anybody" He had no interest in his friend Nick, or in Martin. In fact, when he was looking for the "Game of Thronnes fanatic" he was noticeably not attracted to any of them.

I think that the diner guy he was really not all that into, but he kinda got a vibe and was going with it. He was not that into him.
Landscaper was a physical attraction, which is just normal. Not like wow you're physically attracted to someone you must want to f anything you see.
Bram and theater kid he seemed to feel the most relatable to and into the most. Probably Bram the most and not just sayig that.

I know you're not saying anything bad so don't take it the wrong way. Just responding. I somewhat do know what you mean but its a misinterpretation and just missing important things.

What on earth are you talking about? He fell in love with one guy, but didn't know his identity, so he was trying to figure out who that guy was. He wasn't a slut jumping from guy to guy. He wanted only the one.
