Bryan Mills is one of the main characters in The Real Thing. He has a fascination with cowboys and seeks out older men who are also real-life cowboys.
Bryan suspected he was gay from the age of 14 when his date to the prom had left him and Bryan and another male friend had kissed and masturbated together. During his teens, Bryan had frequents public restrooms for sexual encounters with anonymous men. Though he enjoyed it at first, he felt cheap and dirty afterward. One encounter left him infected with crabs and he swore off those types of encounters.
Bryan's fascination with cowboys prompted him to dress in "cowboy drag" (as his roommate, Tommy Smith, calls it) and seek out real-life cowboys at the western-themed bar, The Watering Hole. One night at the bar, Bryan overhears a couple of older cowboys making fun of the younger men dressed in ridiculous cowboy attire. That's when Bryan decided to get rid of his similar attire and adopt a more rustic, true-to-life style that would make him look more like an authentic cowboy.
==The Real Thing==
Bryan lives in Kansas City with his roommate, Tommy. One night when Bryan visits The Watering Hole, an older cowboy named Curtis Hansen shows an interest in Bryan. He buys Bryan a beer and they chat and flirt and eventually return to Bryan's apartment to have sex. The next morning, Curtis talks about needing help on his farm and Bryan agrees to lend a hand, but admits that he isn't a real cowboy, though he dresses very much like one. Curtis seems put off by this and Bryan worries that he may have ruined his chances with Curtis.
A few days later, Curtis gets in touch with Bryan and they meet up at The Watering Hole. There, they both discuss their pasts, how they came out and what they're looking for in a relationship. Bryan tells Curtis he is attracted to older men and Curtis tells Bryan he is attracted to younger men. Later, Curtis takes Bryan to his farm where they have sex. Curtis shows Bryan around his farm.
After a few more days, Curtis contacts Bryan again and suggested another date and spending the weekend together. Bryan happily agrees.
