This rare breed of heterosexual human male enjoys the company of homosexual human males in preference to or en liu of, perhaps selectively, other heterosexual males.

The fag stag forms a unique relationship with the gay men he associates with. Benefits of this relationship are social and ego related improvements for the fag stag, such as:

> Fashion advice
> Social pleaseantry training
> Access to networks of women (mainly fag hags) / matchmaking
> Complimentary attention from the gay men
> Freedoms from not having to conform to hetero expectations

As previously referenced, some fag stags are part-timers. This type of stag enjoys being in social situations with the intent on meeting heterosexual human females and uses the gay men to his advantage. The gay men act like a lure, attracting women to them and the stag finds it easy to slip into conversation with these women without feeling pressure to court them since these women would often assume the stag was also gay. Later the stag would reveal his intentions to the women in a gracefully manuvered play.

This situation also allows the stag to keep hetero company in which he may be allowed to peform rituals not found in homosexual cliques.

A portmanteau of carpe diem, a Latin phrase that means “Seize the Day!” and DM, which stands for Direct Messages. This word means seizing the day via DMs.

the male counterpart to fag hag meaning a gay males best friend

Analogous to "fag hag" for a woman, "fag stag" is a straight man who is very comfortable around gay men, has many gay friends, and is supportive of gay rights. He may not necessarily go to gay bars and clubs with his gay friends, or vacation in mostly gay spots, but he is interested in his friends' romantic lives, and in the main differences between same-sex and opposite-sex relationships. He is amused, and sometimes downright flattered, when gay men are attracted to him, and not at all uncomfortable in such situations. If he's a "metrosexual," he may even shop with his gay friends and avail himself of their fashion sense.
