My girlfriend and I broke up before I started college and there at college there was this man who was literally everything I was.
It started when I noticed how funny he was, his humor was the same as mine. There was no attraction yet.
Then, one day I noticed just how alike we were.
Down to the speaking mannerisms.
He was tall.
He was patient and protective of me.
One day, I got a soda from the vending machine and he just so happened to notice it got stuck so he lifted this huge ass machine off the ground, shaking it, took it out for me and handed it to me with a wink.
There, at that moment, I accepted that there was no way I wasn’t attracted to men, because he existed and as long as he existed I was some type of bisexual.
I was taken aback by his strength and it was then I noticed he had my eyes but they were softer, kinder.
So, there I sat, red in the face and having it slowly sink in.
I’m probably not gonna come out to anyone except here because I know it will never happen but I know it is possible now.
That is all.

this is hands down the most chaotic, oddly poetic bisexual awakening ever—blindsided by a soda-saving himbo and your own repressed attraction at the same time
you don’t owe anyone a label
you don’t owe anyone a coming out
you had a vending machine epiphany and that’s enough
welcome to the messy middle
we have snacks, emotional whiplash, and apparently dudes who lift appliances
not me for a minute thinking she developed a crush on the male vending machine in reincarnated as a vending machine 😭
newsflash: you can still be a lesbian and find a PERSON regardless of gender attractive.
this sounds like it was written by a 15 year old, you don’t need to ‘come out’ every time you get red in the face.
bro is in a fairy tale
I am a female and have always been attracted to both male and female, and I thought I could be bi. But, then when I think about kissing another female or having sexual relations with another female, I feel like I could never do it. Anyone else?
I’m a lesbian with one exception. I am generally not attracted to men. I am only attracted to one man. I ended up marrying him. If we divorced or he died, I would only date women. We look at women together.
I thought this was a reference to Brendan from Cyberpunk, ngl
Time to read straight romantic webcomics and hug your phone to sleep till you give him the green light😂
Wait, so you’re attracted to this man because he reminds you of yourself?
Straight guys in that same situation would be saying, “No way I’m not attracted to men”.
He shook an entire vending machine? Give me his number I got something to propose to him regarding a gorilla
In other news a man attempting to help a woman get a soda from a vending machine was crushed to death when it went off balance after he lifted and shook it.
He might have been a lot of things, but not smart. Vending machines love to kill people who fuck with them.
Go find your reflection in a body of water and see if you fall in love with it.
> he lifted this huge ass machine off the ground, shaking it
Ain’t no way. Iv moved vending machines of both the snack and soda variety, claw machines, ATM’s, cash4phones, any of the machines you’ll see in the front of a Walmart. Those shits are heavy. He might have been able to tilt it a small amount, but there is not a person in this world who can solo lift a vending machine full of soda cans
Not only did you learn something about yourself, but you also got to experience the proverbial “one that got away”
Could you have found your long lost brother by chance?
You have been a lesbian for a decade and realised you’re bi at 18? Did you come out at 8? Or non-trad student?
Sexuality can be fluid. It’s a thing .
I personally like to call this the exception that defines the rule, and I’d probably make an exception for this man, too. Congrats on the awakening!
People are more flexible in their attraction to others than is commonly understood. Few people are absolutely straight or absolutely gay. Attraction, including sexual attraction, is more of a continuum.
Aren’t fully loaded vending machines upwards of 700-800 pounds? Was this guy a body builder? Crazy!
This was written by a dude, who was most likely just rejected by a lesbian
having a hard time believing he lifted a whole ass vending machine, AND shook it, these things weigh half a fucking ton EMPTY.
Vending machines tend to have several hundred pounds, empty. He other super human or your bullshit us.
That was awesome
Great story!!!! Time for some dick
Girl, he winked at you. Shoot your shot!
Sure he did that, and I rescued 5 babies from a burning building yesterday.
