A straight person outwardly welcoming flirtatious behavior from homosexuals of the same
gender in order to receive validation and entertainment.
Will often play the line of being flirtatious in return, but once it becomes physical, the gaybaiter
will retract and continually assert their heterosexuality to "prevent any confusion".
"Hey do you think that Ethan is
gay? He's been talking a lot with
Gay Steven and they are all over each other."
"Oh hell no, didn't you know that
Ethan is gaybaiting him? He's just lonely and wants to feel good."
