It doesn\\\'t have to be taken seriously at all, it\\\'s based on faulty logic (\\\"if he was gay he\\\'d say he wasn\\\'t interested in relationships with women, he says he isn\\\'t interested in relationships with women, therefore he is gay\\\" is the if A then B, B, therefore A format) and simply does not follow as a sound conclusion. Also, considering we have no method of determining if your friends \\\'\\\'exist\\\'\\\', it\\\'s rather pointless mentioning how many of them agree with you.
