Do interior designers really "swing the other way?"

My girlfriend and I were watching Trading spaces the other night and I commented that the designer guy was really feminine, floofy, annoying, etc... I commented that I felt that he was a 'flamer', to put it simply...

She got all offended for some reason - "hey!! he's *married*, blah blah blah, etc"

Now don't get me wrong, I'm friends with lots of gay guys, but nothing more than that. I just felt that this particular occupation has a lot higher ratio of gay vs. hetero guys and she was in complete disagreement.

She claims that they are just more artistic, etc. I guess coming from more of a blue collar lifestyle and family I have always pictured men as being tough, useful (able to build, fix, destroy things), and strong/manly. When I think of these sissy guys putting up drapes and sewing couch covers, I tend to think they are not so manly and their annoying voices and accents, plus dramatic wrist movements don't really help out their cause either.

Any comments?
 
She claims that they are just more artistic

artistic = gay

sorry, but it's true... unless it's art involving fast cars, women, or war 😀

wheres your proof, sources, so fourth that all gay men who are artistic are gay.

i know a lot of ppl who paint graffiti, i know for a fact that none of them are gay.

hmm. 😉

i think we both know that i wasn't talking about that type of art, but i can add that into my list of exceptions if you want.
 


<< artistic = gay

my god you're ignorant. >>



dude it's a joke... though i tend to agree with mr. gates there
 


<< Now don't get me wrong, I'm friends with lots of gay guys, >>



I don't know one gay guy.

weird. but yes, I think they're batting for the wrong team.
 
My girlfriend is a home Econ major, and in her buuilding at school is where the interior design majors have there classes....oh boy, big bunch of femmers...lots of the male Interior Design Majors are also in the Dancing Department here, according to my g-friend, and are just waiting to get accepted into the dance program, taking classes in their second interest, interior design.
 
sorry, my wording was not correct.

what i meant to say was, could you show me some proof, sources, or anything stating that all men who are artistic, are gay?

In my opinion, the fact that you cannot be artistic and secure in your manhood is your weakness and does not mean that someone that is artisitic has to be "not a man" or "gay".

Since you asked! 🙂

wrong team? they're on my team dammit, less hetero men means more women for me! 😀

yea i guessed such, and no i do not... that statement was largely just there to make a broad generalization to piss off the PC crowd.

however, i do firmly believe that there is a correlation between the two. sure it's a stereotype, but stereotypes exist because they're at least partially true.
 
gopunk, I agree - I didn't want to be careful with how I worded things here because people at AT seem to like to try to be over-PC all the time... But stereotypes came about after certain observations are made over and over again regarding certain situations...

I think my initial post also can apply to hairstylists for the most part, oh yessssssssss!!

(anybody want to go for a boat ride?)
