Seriously, I have read and reread many comments. What is your opinion? Is he a closet Gay? Looking for fame on a reality show. Or straight and just not into Danielle?

You all know what I think. He's straight, very reserved, scared to get emotionally attached. He's into Danielle or he wouldn't be massaging her, kissing her, kissing her neck, talking to her about dating outside of the house ect. He's trying to keep his emotions out of the game & NOT get a bigger target by being in a Showmance. IF Danielle & He stay in the game a few weeks longer I think he'll give in a bit. Just my opinion.

This reminds me of Drew and Diane. And where did that all end up?

It's kind of a double standard. When a woman resists a guy's charms she is admired for her class and restraint (see Jordan). When a guy resists a woman's charms people wonder if he is gay. I don't recall anyone speculating that Jordan was a lesbian. Then again you rarely see a guy resisting.

It matters because BB is a study of people, their relationships and motivations. Understanding each of the players is part of understanding their approach to game play, which also includes their relationships with other players.

I have always admired guys who were reserved in the area of love\sex. Wanting to have something special with the "right person" is something I find very desirable in a guy... My son has always been like that. Since he was a teenager, he cannot abide sexually forward or aggressive women. My son was (and still is) exceptionally good looking as a teenager and was constantly being "chased". I have literally seen him run away from a girl who stopped a car in the middle of the street to find out who he was (his sister told the girl to get lost). Since he didn't have a serious girlfriend until he was 19, his father and I both thought he was gay and were waiting for him to feel comfortable enough to tell us. We were floored when we met his first girlfriend, who remained his girlfriend for about 7 years. That taught me that not all guys who don't chase women are gay... My son still isn't married, but he is in a long term relationship with his second girlfriend. I don't make it a practice to inquire into my children's personal lives, so I'm not sure what's going on, but I know when the time is right for him, he will marry the right person. My second husband is another man who just doesn't feel "it" when he is around a beautiful woman he's not in love with. Not all guys are "tom cats"... and I am thrilled to have two in my life!!

Unless he cares to share ANYTHING about his sexuality, I figure it's absolutely none of my business.

I don't assume Shane is gay...perhaps he is very conservative and doesn't want to be overly physical in his relationships until they are more serious...might I say...perhaps he is a Christian? I know that might be weird, but isn't he also careful about his language (sorry, I haven't been listening to live feeds that much). It also seems to me that he really isn't that attracted to Danielle but that might be just because I don't find her attractive at all...LOL!

Shane said in the D.R. several weeks ago that he would purposely NOT be involved in any Showmance as a matter of strategy. He could also think that Danielle's strategy IS to form an alliance through Showmance and he's not going to be played that way. Or he may not find her attractive, or he may just not want to be that guy on a national TV show that his Momma would be watching.. A pink wardrobe and not being attracted to Danielle don't add up to anybody being in any closets..

It matters because showmances have become such a big part of the game. When one person seems eager to have a showmance and the other doesn't respond as eagerly it opens things up for all sorts of speculation about why, including sexual preference. I personally hope Shane sticks with his statement about not being involved in a showmance.

Just a note that telling people where and what to post is against the rules. Disagreeing about something is fine but telling people you are offended by what they post is also (not surprisingly) against the rules. Thank you.

It oh so does not matter, for the few weeks that he is on our TV,s we should see and accept him for the peron he is sharing with us. Speculation and assuming can only result in someone getting or feeling hurt.

Whether or not he's gay, I think he is unsure of who he is. He appears to me to be playing a role - the role he was cast for in BB (which he seems to think is this year's Jeff), and the role he's expected to play in life - handsome young man who is therefore into the things that handsome young men are supposed to be interested in, such as Playmates and other hot chicks. I could be wrong, but I'm recalling a few things he's said that might indicate that he had a sheltered life growing up, and one might guess that included a lot of rules and expectations. Thus, he's in the habit of doing what he thinks he's supposed to, what others expect of him, and wants the kind of validation that would indicate that he's doing the right thing (ie winning comps, being voted America's Favorite, attracting a pretty girl's affection, being one of the guys, etc.).

He definitely isn't a Jeff. Jeff had personal charisma and quite honestly I don't find Shane all that attractive...a pretty package but kind of empty on the inside.

I couldn't care less if he is gay or not. If he doesn't feel anything towards Danielle, or doesn't like her or feel the chemistry with her, does that make him gay? No. Jeff and Jordan had chemistry, even just talking to each other. They didn't want sex on national tv and no one thought he was gay. Rachel and Brendan were going at it all the time, but no one liked their relationship. Ollie and April was sex only. Chelsea and James - sex only. I see no chemistry between Shane and Danielle. She is a very needy person and might not be Shane's choice in a woman, that does not suggest he is gay.

Furthermore, Ian likes Ashley, but she isn't into him, does that make her a lesbian? I don't even see the point of this thread.
