My wife and my buddy who is bi insist that I cannot have normal conversations with other dudes at the alleged gay bar we like to visit sometimes. They say that I am invariably being hit on, but I don't notice anything like that.

Hmm, just being oblivious sounds like something a Lemming would do, too.

I let gay guys buy me drinks but I make it clear that I'm straight and married to a woman. Twice now that has turned into a conversation where the man buying the drink tried to convince me I am lying to myself.

The convos I've had haven't been like that at all. Just normal stuff: talking about jobs, the beers we like, cool stuff we've gotten up to. Fellas, is it gay to be gregarious and enjoy the company of other men?
