How does the concentration even start?

I do go to and enjoy very much all the group fitness classes, including Pound, Barre, piyo, yoga, and last night I tried tabata. There's rarely any males in anything but yoga where there's several regulars that are guys. I'm not macho because that seems to be an ego thing and I'm trying to lose that. I'm disabled due to bipolar so I don't work. It does hurt my feelings a little, maybe a lot, and I'm not sure why. Last night I was asked, "that guy in class... Is he your boyfriend, or partner or??? Is he ok?" about my brother whom I got into the gym finally. I've been told blatantly "I think you're gay" by a gay man that was a friend and wanted to be with me but that's not even a thought in my head. The idea of touching another man that way is gross to me just as the idea of exploring every inch of a woman is very much exciting to me. My son is gay though not out to many people, as is my sister who's openly out and married to a woman. It doesn't bother me that anyone is, but I'm not and that's ok too. I have gotten phone numbers in my pocket and called them later to find out they were guys. I've been kissed by a woman I wasn't interested in any more than friends and she immediately accused me of being gay when I didn't respond the way she expected. I tend to hang out with women because guys don't want to discuss feelings, women are quite a bit more intelligent conversationally and women also usually smell better. Though I have to block it out, that intoxicating sweaty girl smell could have me koolaid man my way through an iron wall.
