Oh my goodness...all my life I've been falling in love with gay men...and I think my husband must be gay too.

Shit.

I actually came across a gay moment yesterday. Needed new addidas for the gym. Went to the on base store and they were on sale, my lucky day!

They had a nice blue pair, which looked pretty cool. Like blue = I'm cooool. But then I realized I have nothing to match it. And it did look a little..........off.

I really wanted a pair with OD green colors in it but such is life. I settled on a black pair that match the shorts I always wear anyways. Cant go wrong with BLACK.


But is wanting a bright blue shoe cause its pretty................gay? I wonder.....
back to my chair-force job

If you wipe out, having ingrown hairs in the scars as they're healing significantly increases risk of infection. It's a practical thing, not a gay thing.

canuckguy

Correct. Also we shave for aerodynamics, assuming you can go fast enough to have it make a noticeable effect on performance (not me). Also looks better than two hairy beasts rolling down the road.

But yes, more so when i fall off the bandages come off easier....

Just don't leave a pair of hair shorts....not cool.

(my first attempt at multi-quote).

BadNick

This may not fully qualify based on your defintion of not wanting your buddies seeing you do it, since my buddies participated.

So for me it was running for the Miss America contest, and winning about 5 years in a row before I retired the red plastic roses for the next miss. This was in the bathing suit competition, no talent or gowns need apply. A while back I posted a picture here of me doing this but hopefully it's lost forever as far as I'm concerned.

i think i remember that - far worse than me and paddyjoe in TP wedding gowns...

Do they wipe out that often? Now every time I pass a guy on a road bike I am going to be wishing to see a wipe out..

I pass them on the highway all the time. Dudes are hauling some serious ass, a wipeout must be devestating.

Interesting to see what some folk discern as homosexual behavioral accoutrements.

Where do the gay jackhammers & the lariat wielding bronco busting wall street traders fit in to most peoples' idea of gay (men) equaling the effeminate?

This thread is going places that are enlightening. Gender roles in the work places
are changing.
Not so long ago: Nurse brought to mind--female. Doctor--male.

I am female & will answer the OP's question:

I am a retired tool & die maker. That alone back in '86 raised many a brow,
especially since I wasn't a..their term..>'dyke'. Only a dyke could
love loud greasy mechanical stuff, right?

The whole gay/lesbo split confuses me too. Homosexual cultural confusion
is alive & well too.

The gayest/homo/ thing I have ever done?

Who the fuck cares?

remy1492

uhhhh you didn't have to post in the thread if you wanted to crap on the OP. A PM would be fine.

ring

Whoa. I'm sorry if what I wrote appeared to you as crapping on the original post.
My intention was most opposite of crapping. Singling out that part of my post you quoted seems rather unfair.
I will elaborate on the 'who the fuck cares' comment if that would help.

In an ideal society: None of us should have to worry about any of our behaviors,likes
dislikes.. being perceived as anything other than what they are.
Unfortunately, the term: "That's so gay" is not being used as a compliment in the USA.
It's still heard as a pejorative,yes?
Correct me if I am wrong.

Do you actually worry about wanting a pretty colored shoe..as being something
other than wanting a pretty colored shoe?

Slims

I have flat out spooned with a half dozen of my closest friends....All night long....taking turns rotating from the big spoon all the way to the little one. We even went so far as to wrap arms around each other.

We were stuck in the mountains of Afghanistan in windy, below-freezing temperatures with no cold-weather gear (save one survival blanket for everyone) at 8,000+ feet of elevation, and freezing to death was the alternative, but it was as awkward as it sounds. Especially after people warmed up enough to start cracking the inevitable jokes.

Well like a few dudes here, I am surrounded by Junior High mentality, testosterone laden dudes who fly fast sh*t or blow Sh*t up!

So yeah, until we can sit down and watch Eddie Izzard together, they give me crap over my Metrosexual habits

Hey now, this thread is for Manly Men only.

And aside from you being promoted to Captain Obvious with a Vagina in this thread, the type of commentary you posted is largely the problem with many TFP threads. And I recognize that I'm a big part of the lame comment problem, especially seeing that I post many of them because, well, I'm a friggin' moron. I've learned that you can't just say, "Who cares?" in a discussion forum. Somebody cares. They took the time to post an OP and are seeking comments. Roll with it.

That and I think I already posted a pseudo-"Who the fuck cares?" in my tirade above about being cultured (and literate).

...

Also: I find Eddie Izzard to be incredibly funny. I paid to see him live. "I'm covered in bees!"

Fremen

I think the gayest thing I remember doing is critiquing the Oscar's night evening gowns with my mom and her friend one year (every year), and enjoying it.

Sometimes the best way to change things is to join into the stupidity. And this is a stupid thread that I originally saw as a Potential Problem. It would be one thing if there were anything close to gay-bashing going on here (and that's what I was afraid it would devolve into), but it's something entirely different when the guys here are exploring what behaviors are or aren't associated with homosexuality and finding that their assumptions are different.

I have a good eye for decorating, or so I've been told.

I've slept between two standard-sized tarps with seven or eight other dudes while ultralight backpacking...once you get over the ghey, it's pretty efficient.

Um. I wear lots of pink, use product in my hair, manscape, drive a either a minivan or a small cute car, walk my small fluffy dog, watch Bravo, enjoy Lady Gaga, have a Gentleman's tea set that I use regularly, and get manicures, lurk styleforum and basenotes, poke people on Facebook, end a startlingly large portion of my texts with 'hehe', and really enjoy wearing expensive leather shoes.

Breasts, legs, and butts are nice, but they're nothing compared to the personality that can be gazed upon in a beautiful woman's eyes. Sometimes I have long conversations on first/second dates so I can grope their eyes, and they end up asking if I'm gay.

I love shoes. Mainly Adidas. I have pairs of Daroga Mesh, Adi Speed, Wanderlust, Rod Laver, Supernova.. The North Face makes great "rock hopping" shoes. Sadly I only have one pair of leather shoes, purchased on the cheap as they were required for a sales job. I've been eyeing a few pairs of ECCO and Mephisto..

I like wearing button up shirts with ties as well, but that's usually obvious. I did once wear a circular neck sweater on a first date, and told her I had a tie on underneath. She tried to soften her laughter, but couldn't

I love Madonna. Everything about her. I went to her last concert in Toronto two years ago by myself. I was at a golf event and my wife was supposed to buy the tickets online when they went on sale at 10 in morning. I told her to go online at exactly 10 and what did she do? Forget. She went on at about ten after and couldn't get two tickets together. She bought one and then couldn't get another because it was sold out. She really didn't care because she doesn't like Madonna. It didn't stop me though because who knows if she'll ever come this way again? Great show!!

I've been to far more orchestral performances, live musicals, and stage plays than I have sporting events, having enjoyed the former immensely and having experienced much indifference and even boredom with the latter.

I also use words such as addendum, indifference, former, and latter.

They gayest thing I do is cook, but that's gotten me more pussy than anything else I do. Most of the 'straight-guy' stuff I do takes place in a sausage-fest type environment.

C'mon now, guys. Cooking isn't gay.

In my sexist view of history, I can see men as the first to accidentally drop their freshly stabbed creature onto a fire and notice that it smelled awesome.

Okay, I love musicals. I think they're delicious little pieces of enchanting magic.

Well, the one thing I like more than musicals is poetry, and I happen to admire the work of T. S. Eliot. I'm not sure how I feel about it being set to music with a bunch of grownups dressed as cats prancing around.

I haven't seen it. I mean, I haven't really had the opportunity to. It's not that I wouldn't see it. Maybe I'll look for the film. I hear there's a film of one of the productions.

Oh, and I like cats. They're the only creatures who understand me.

I don't act like I give a shit if other men see me as manly. Other than that, I wear womens antiperspirant because it smells better to me.

Tea party sounds cool to me, too. But just not the political one, yeeeeesh
