You may need specialized skillsets depending on your goals for any given interaction

A straight man may have certain goals for most interactions with women that he doesn't have for any interactions with men. Even if "explore romantic/sexual avenues" isn't currently an explicit goal, "keep open the future possibility of exploring romantic/sexual avenues" is likely to be there on some level.

"keep open the future possibility of exploring romantic/sexual avenues" is likely to be there on some level.
