Meh, I don't mind.

Speaking more literally, since last Spring I've been getting asked if I'm gay on a fairly regular basis. It doesn't surprise me, it's just weird that it wasn't something I got before. Maybe it's simply an indication that more people are no longer worried about offending guys by asking such questions.

Maybe there is glitter stuck to your face and you haven't noticed? Studies show that men with glitter on their faces are suspected of being gay 85% more frequently than men without glitter on their faces.

"glipper".

^ Even though I work in a warehouse I sometimes have to deal with "glittery" crap and then end up finding I have glitter stuck to various parts of my hands and face. Especially around this time of year because I have to send all of the holiday display crap back to various stores in my company that don't have room to store them at their place. So sometime in the next few weeks I'll be handling lots of fake, glitter-covered Christmas trees, full-sized antique sleighs, glittery garland, lights, faux wrapped presants and boxes and boxes and BOXES full of glittery ornaments and all that glitter gets stuck to me.

....I try not to make any stops after work around this time of year, I first go home and un-sparkle myself.

If you do find you have to go out in public with glitter on your face, make sure you grunt a lot and grab at your genitals frequently to re-enforce your heterosexuality to potential quesitoners. Everyone knows that gay men never grunt or grab themselves in public.

i think it's offensive that heterosexuality automatically implies poor hygiene or something. at least in the context of men who groom, dress, and carry themselves well are automatically gay.

How about if I just lift my leg and fart?

You could try that. I can't guarantee its effectiveness.

I think in my case it's: the colour-coordinating my (often argyle) socks with the shirts I'm wearing; carrying on conversations related to interior design; walking around my little dog with her hot pink harness; and my various Seinfeld-esque qualities.

OK, maybe Ayreonaut is the one that needs to lift his leg and fart.

ain't nothin' gay about argyle.

vid · #**4693** Posted **Oct 30, 2012, 9:04 PM**

Matching it with other articles of clothing, though, is pretty gay.

rockyi · #**4694** Posted **Oct 30, 2012, 11:46 PM**

It was the little dog with the hot pink harness comment that got me....until I realized our little dog also has a pink collar with flowers on it and a jingle bell dangling from it so never mind.

I haven't worn a pair of white socks in years. And not only have I matched my wild colored socks (red, yellow & brown argyle, electric blue, grey & black with question marks and exclamation points...) with shirts, but also with ties or nothing at all. And I also go by the nickname "Snuggles" (don't ask, long story) in the office. So CHECK YOU STEREOTYPES VID!

Our firm posted an ad for an admin assistant position with CareerBuilder in July. After 596 resumes and 2 rounds of interviews the "Powers that be" made a decision. She comes in this afternoon for a follow-up with HR. Sharp gal and she's easy on the eyes. That's always a plus right?

vid · #**4697** Posted **Nov 1, 2012, 10:34 PM**

I always wear white socks and never match my clothes. So I guess I have the stereotype backwards. Sorry guys.

rockyi · #**4698** Posted **Nov 1, 2012, 10:44 PM**

^GAY SLOB, GAY SLOB!

I wear white socks at work only, but since I work where I do I don't really care about my appearance. I often go in when I haven't shaved for several days.

vid · #**4699** Posted **Nov 1, 2012, 11:09 PM**

I purposefully don't shave often to look scruffy as often as possible. When I do shave, I make sure I do it on the sabbath, because fuck god and all that.

Ayreonaut · #**4700** Posted **Nov 1, 2012, 11:38 PM**

I don't think I've shaved in three weeks.
