    Don't know about that. I just think it's a colour that works on me. :o

    I also love black shirts, but they're not stereotypically gay, are they?

    On one hand, I have long(for a guy) straight hair, which alone gives me away. Then with the way I dress, skinny jeans and so on, I come across as the ultimate homo. I feel as though I'm starting to develop some campness(hand movement etc.) aswell. I also prefer female company when it comes to friendship.

    However, I spend my weekends on football terraces, hope for a career on Wall St and absolutely HATE left wing politics.

    But socially you'd be more liberal, right?

    Be careful! It looks tricky. You may need to set up some private tuition classes with 1ZRed :pac:

    I'm literally the most socially liberal person you'll ever come across. But leftist parties pride themselves on economic ideals of big government, welfare state etc and economic policy is how I evaluate a party. I almost wanted Romney elected in November, for example. But he was SO retarded I gave up in the end.

    I'm glad you saw sense! Even though the democrats are basically a right wing party too!

    Folks in future please don't use the word retarded on this forum. It is a word that people find offensive. Any problems pm me.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Ah alright I understand. What I don't understand is how you got that far with Romney! Even I could run that country better than him and I haven't a clue about politics.

    Too many donkeys and elephants for my liking thank you :p

    I think for absolute clarity, we're gonna need pics of you in pink and black shirts for us to give a full and definite answer. ;):p

    I have one thing to add to the guinea pig/ hamster part of this thread.

    BEHOLD MY HAMSTER:

    As for the stereotypes: yes. I look really quite butch. Well, more dapper. But that's apparently a big thing now in the US (I think I may have absorbed it via osmosis, I dunno). But in many of my mannerisms I'm really not stereotypically butch. As in I'm terrified of spiders, my main hobbies are sewing and baking and right now I'm reading Jilly Cooper. (:o) I am banned from DIY and anything that may involve the highly likely possibility of falling over (ie most team sports).

    Love the "Mrs. and Mrs." cushions!!!

    I'll admit, I had an incredibly, unbelievably, uber-blond moment when I first saw it; "should it not be..." then I twigged... :o que idiota!!!

    I feel compelled to say hi since I've thanked almost every post in this thread :).

    No, I am not gay but a lot of people think I am in the closet so I guess I am sort of the opposite of this thread, straight but gay acting according to my friends and some family. My little sister (she's 7) sidled up to me after dinner the day before yesterday and said, "You know Itwasn'tme., I think you have the brain of a boy trapped in a girl's body, so I sort of feel like I have a brother." :eek: Kids these days.

    What are these characteristics they are talking about? To be honest, I don't know. If I were to hazard a few guesses, I would say it's because I own only three pairs of shoes: one of which is a pair of running shoes; the other, a pair of hiking boots and the last, a pair of biker boots and also because I always notice hot girls. I am not even sure the former is even a lesbian thing. I think it's just an 'I hate wearing uncomfortable shoes and I am too lazy and too poor to find comfortable ones' thing. As for noticing hot girls, well, doesn't everybody? :)

    What does hating left wing politics have to do with being macho?

    I think he's saying that hating left-wing politics isn't a typically gay characteristic; sure we're all leftie liberals at heart!

    I did something similar only I compared a former manager's dress sense unfavourably to that of a few Drag queens.

    I've come across so many socialist/economically clueless homos. Then again, most humans are clueless about just about everything. You know what I mean :)

    Pffffttt standard. People ask 'how do you know you're gay?'... I say 'when you're walking down the street with your mates, a young female is in front of you and they say 'nice ass', you say 'nice jeans'; then you know you're gay' ;)

    I apparently had, throughout my teenage years,into mid twenties suffered at times terrible homophobic bullying, as apparently I was a very gay acting man, yet I didn't identify as gay. I was a heterosexual male who couldn't understand why almost everyone assumed I was gay. In my early 30's I'm now a very happy heterosexual woman. A warning to you with stereotypical gay charachteristics, it can be a slippery slope and you never know where it might lead!

    Oh i never said my own camp characteristics :/
    The only two I can think of is a slight tendency to talk with my hands and i let slip the occasional cringe worthy "OMG!" :eek:
    And i'm a huge eurovision fan- if that counts.

    My friends call me the worst gay guy in the world and I have broken some of my friends gaydars but I think that's mainly down to the lack of exposure to gay people who aren't extremely stereotypical because I definitely have my moments. Sometimes I wonder what people think about me when I have my gay fits and go from straight as - to raging homo and back in a single sentence. :P
