    It's a bit like if I say "fag", what I really mean is that you are an annoying biker!!!

    Its hilariously ironic how you could have been considered gay when the evidence of your sexuality is the subject of the doubt :S

    Well a guy shagging another guy is still gay, besides that it's pretty open

    Unless the guy looks like a woman. Thats different.




    And the gay is on the girly man.



    It is.

    I suppose 'unmanly' would be a better term to use.

    In that sense I think using moisturisers and the like are still a bit unmanly. I'd be of the opinion that those things are completely unnecessary.

    If you really suffer from dry skin at least be manly about your unmanly bitching! Spit on your hands, wipe in skin, eat steak.

    I've done seven out of those eleven things, some regularly, and I'm not gay.

    I do lots of things that might be considered gay. Someone mentioned putting an 'x' at the end of a text to your male friends - yes, but obviously in a jokey way.
    If I kiss a mate on the cheek, it's obviously a joke. These are light hearted, trivial things just like getting an ear pierced or putting on moisturiser (I have dry skin when I drink a lot of beer). I also like camp music...it's fun, who cares?

    I can still watch sports or play soccer on weekends or burp the alphabet. But there are so many important things about being a man - honesty, trustworthyness, confidence, thoughtfulness and personal conviction being notable amongst them. Basically all of the best qualities you see in someone like your Dad.

    If you are relying on the pretty superficial fact that you dont use moisturiser, or that you dont let your girlfriend make you wear silly clothes, or that you dont like Jedward - as a means to back up your masculinity, then you probably arent all that much of a man on a realistic level to begin with. You may not be much fun either.

    Dry skin and clothes your Mum bought you dont make you a man.


    Very Ghay

    You know only too well how I hate those Spelling Police feckers.

    No too fond of GrammarNazis either mind you.

    How well do you get on with the Syntax Czars or the Semantic Scrutinisers ?

    I'd rather some randomer on the internet considered me unmanly than walk around with a head like a big scaldy lizard.

    I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
    gay.

    I use a lip balm on holidays during summer so my lips don't get burned and blister and crack and bleed (Thinking about it makes me feel sick!)

    Wait, when did lip balm become gay?

    Mine has a picture of a man on the packet... so can't be gay.

    Plus he's hot.

    Homosexuality used to be punishable by death in England, then by prison sentence, then by flogging, then they made it legal. I'm getting out before they make it compulsory.

    It seams to me that the two sexes are getting closer and that there are less and less things outside of the physical differences between the two that are limited to one sex.

    So what do people think? Is this a good thing? Are there still taboos for men or women when it comes to something only the other sex should do? Or is society now totally open to men behaving in ways previously reserved for women and visa versa?
    My bro was always suspect as a gay but then we thought bi-sexual, then tri-sexual where he would try anything. When he "came out" he was nothing anymore as we all stopped talking to him. Now he can fcuk himself lol
