Chapter 11 [ TheLyingLiars.online ] Chris and the Lies Straight Men Tell Us to Make Us Fall In Love - #NoHomo

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

What happens when the straight guy who uses gay dating apps for drugs and validation singles you out as his personal safe space? And what happens when you let yourself believe that being useful is the same thing as being loved?

In this episode of The Lying Liars Who Lied When They Said They Loved You, a chaotic three-day bender uncovers the unspoken rules of transactional intimacy, internalized shame, and the cruel art of the "clean break."

Meet Chris: six-foot-four, all-American charm, and a master at navigating the grid for drugs, cash, and ego boosts without ever putting skin in the game. What starts as a twenty-dollar favor quickly devolves into a multi-day marathon of stimulant-fueled mixed signals, chaotic third-party drop-ins, and a bizarre impromptu love triangle involving an ex named RJ and a neighbor named Luke.

Through it all, the narrator plays the ultimate "cool gay friend": providing drugs, shelter, and an open ear while quietly navigating his own burning desire to be wanted by someone who treats him as completely disposable. But as Chris prepares for yet another stint in rehab, the illusions come crashing down.

Deleting contacts, mutual agreements to disappear, and a single dollar bill left behind serve as a harsh reminder of reality: when the noise stops, all that’s left is the lingering scent of someone else’s exit and the cruel internal voice reminding you of what you were to them all along.

Raw, darkly humorous, and painfully honest, Chris and the Lies Straight Men Tell Us to Make Us Fall In Love explores the dangerous allure of being someone's pitstop, the performative boundaries of straight-identifying men, and the tragic lies we tell ourselves just to feel included.
