    So many people have thought I was gay I went into introspection. Turns out I’m very straight.

      I will say this in my bluntly antiquated way (47 man).

      I kissed my buddy in high school because fuck it it was a dare. Didn’t like it it’s fucking weird. I wear pink. Love pink. I’ve painted my nails, dyed my hair, wore a dress before. I do all that because I know I’m straight. It’s hilarious watching less secure people do juggling exercises in their heads when I know I’m going home and I’m fucking chicks.

      My current gf is far more conservative than I am so I’ve toned down a lot but my joke has always been my grandma thought I was gay and asked my cousin once. He told her I’m not because he’s walked in on me so many times having sex with girls lol.

      Moral of the story, don’t give a fuck what people think. Do you and if doing you is being gay then be fucking gay. Own it. Trust people like me will have your back if some dickhead pushes back.

      I’m with John Waters. We need to bring perverts back into fashion.

        Dude, same.

        I don’t wear much pink, but I paint my nails, I color my beard non-standard colors (I look great in purple).

        Completely straight, never once had an interest in the same gender. I often accompany friends to drag shows and gay bars and I have a blast.

          If it helps narrow minded people understand just say that pink used to be considered the man’s color and baby blue was actually for girls before WW2. It’s fun to watch them realize colors have no gender.

        This sort of thinking is what made me realize that early gay figures (e.g. think the extremes of San Francisco and the like) were straight-up punk rock. “You don’t like us and want to harm us? Check it out, I’m walking my partner on a leash and we’re not wearing pants. Go fuck yourself.” That perspective really morphed my view into a real respect.

        Yeah, it’s usually just a compliment. Some things that implied I was gay were having gay friends, smiling, being friendly and not always having sex-seeking behavior with girls. Probably also that I don’t have traditionally male hobbies like football and I’m also a good listener. Then there’s the fact that I grew up in an all female household and I’m up for listening to matters of the heart.

        Rest I’m pretty much a stereotype guy, I go to the gym, mediocre hygiene and dress like I have no sense of style. I’ve had some girls even say “I first thought you were gay but in reality you’re really straight”. Probably my love of having sex with girls gave it away finally.

        I’m 54, thin and wear women’s clothes all the time. My wife balked at me getting a couple of white linen blouses at the thrift, then she saw me in one at the beach. Hubba hubba.

      I’m my late teens and early twenties, I had several occurrences of gay guys hitting on me, to the point where I started to worry that there was something about me. It seems funny to me now, but I really did have a period of wondering if I could be and was just repressing it because of my Catholic upbringing. But ultimately I realized that I just didn’t find guys attractive at all, and even the thought of kissing a guy was kind of a boner killer. So I get what you’re saying, even though on the surface it sounds funny to say you wondered if you could be gay.

      Sometime later I ended up with a couple of close gay friends, and I mentioned it to them. They said it was probably because I put out a very non-judgemental vibe and didn’t seem like a homophobe, so it probably didn’t seem risky to hit on me.

      For some reason lots of women think I’m gay too, even when I had a woman friend wingman for me. I’m self sufficient, reasonably clean, I dress nice (with help), and honestly a bit odd so I suppose that’s why they’d think that. Just like you though, I’m quite straight

    I spent so many years in the army I am stil not really de-institutionalized. I made my bed every day as a student with bed spread as I didn’t want to dirty my bed clothes I’m case someone sat on the bed (small room). I still fold clothes for easy counting. I used to make my wife super angry when I complained about clutter “in the common rooms” as I always took my comic, book or whatever with me as I left the room.

    Tbh I only ever got positive comments from the women I dated.

    Silly silly bedroom lol. Malelivingspace is the malefashionadvice for chubby reddit boys. Everything plain, soulless, and inoffensive. No character whatsoever, just “stick to the template,” Eames lounges and brasilia credenzas galore. The only place online where “what color KALLAX should I get to match my 670?” is asked as a serious question and will get many strongly opinionated replies.

    Live a little in your living space. I think even basic.space gives better homespherebuilding advice than that sub

      malefashionadvice

      I used to visit that sub a lot about ten years ago. It looks like it hasn’t changed a bit in that time - it even still has the same little fit drawings on the top bar. Has male fashion somehow frozen?

        All the content creators on MFA dipped after the api drama, all that’s left on that sub is reposts. Many of the userbase moved to their discord

        I wish it hadn’t changed, it’s gotten much worse, as has much of Reddit. Like the other guy said, all the mods on MFA left last year and took the core community to Discord (apparently, I don’t use Discord though). What’s left is just middle schoolers and bot accounts.

        Interestingly I did hop back on Reddit a few days ago on a little check-in and saw this post on MFA. Might’ve been the subconscious reason I name dropped it above in the first place.

    OK, now I wanna see the second pic. Cause that boy has a lovely bedroom. I would be very happy to get my ass destroyed in.

    But I need to see a second pic, to see if he has a nice bedroom.

    What? I have standards.

    This is so bizarre. So his GF decides he’s gay, because his room is tidy? No mention of sex life, so I’m going to assume there’s no issues there.

    Such a weird assumption to make.

      I make the bed, at least my side of it, every day. If I don’t, my wife, along with the cats and dog, won’t give me any covers when I get in.

        I never understood sleeping in the same bed as a dog. Feels so filthy. Even a cat, bro. (Lived with cats for 22 years before moving from parent.)

          I just put out a dog blanket for the dog to lay on top of. That way my sheets stay undogged. As a bonus she knows if that blanket isn’t laid out she’s not welcome on the bed and if it is she can come up if she wants.

    Is it just perspective, or is the picture on the left side of the window lower than the one on the right?
