(1) a person that identifies as homosexual, yet can be found engaging in sexual activity with the opposite sex, often while exclaiming loudly "it's okay...I'm gay!"
(2) Person of the male sex that portrays strong characteristics of a homosexual male, but is heterosexual, often while exclaiming loudly, "What?! I'm not gay!"

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.

Slang version of fauxmosexual.
Straight men who act, look, and dress if they're gay, in order to appear cool/attractive/interesting to women.

A man who pretends to be gay, but isn't.

1. A pre-meditated state of false gayness, aimed at soliciting attention or affection from the opposite sex. See: Girls Gone Wild; Tom Cruise.

2. False diagnosis of male gayness; develops after lingering too long in a friendship-only relationship with a woman you secretly like. Comic hilarity usually ensues. See: Any movie starring Matthew Perry.

A man who acts in every way like he is gay yet is actually straight. A step beyond the metro-sexual is the fauxmo.

A standard heterosexual who frequents gay establishments - enjoying the fruits of flattery and affection, but otherwise relishing in the eventual deflection of, "No thanks, I'm straight."
