So I am the only one who thinks it was odd? It seemed as through the granola was just the ice-breaker.

That was it?

When a homo decides to hit on you, you won't have to ask anyone for interpretive guidance because there will be nothing subtle or cryptic about it. At least in my experience, homos are usually pretty forward and obnoxious when they have aims of playing Hide the Sausage with you.

I guess this is part of homo culture or something; gay bath houses and bars are exceptionally notorious for the most deviant and pathologic behavior one could imagine short of killing and dismembering for sexual gratification.

you think he was hitting on you by that LMAO

if he was winking at you or had a grin.. then maybe but... otherwise i think your thinking to much of it.

If that's not a stereotype I don't know what is. Of course there are your dramatic, hands in the air, speaking with a lisp homosexuals who make it no secret that they're gay. But there are others who live their lives a bit more discretely and don't wear their sexuality around their neck in the form of a pink boa.

LMAO, corn nuts indeed!

Although stereotypes exist for a reason, I said nothing about the flamboyant and exaggerated feminine demeanor of "Just Jack" type homos.

I was referring to standard practice in homo culture WRT to their approach methods. Read again, repeat as required for comprehension.

Stereotypes do exist for a reason... and that reason is ignorance.

I'm referring to your ignorance of homosexuality. I have a few gay friends who don't hit on every guy they come across... and they're not "forward and obnoxious." If you think being forward and obnoxious is part of the "homo culture" then you're definately ignorant.

(I'm not using the word ignorant as in insult in this case as it has become popular to do... I'm referring to your lack of knowledge on the subject of "homo culture.")

Maybe he's a card carrying member of NAMBLA.

I'm a homophobe, and proud of it.

In all seriousness, this could be either way. I had a similar thing happen to me once in, believe it or not, a grocery store. I'm 90% sure the guy was gay just by the way he talked and carried himself. He asked me some questions about a soap holder he was looking at, which initially just confused me...there's really not much to explain about a soap holder, it just holds soap.

It didn't occur to me until afterwards that it might have been a prelude to hitting on me. I'd imagine if you're gay you kind of have to feel other men out to see if they might be receptive to your advances. Was he planning on hitting me or just genuinely confused about the functionality of a soap holder? I'll never know. It doesn't really matter.

I can't say I blame him though, I'm damn sexy.

Maybe he just thought you were someone he knew, but wasn't quite sure.. (someone he might not have seen in awhile)

If he was gay.. ah well, just smile and move on...

Of course he isnt. He prefers female sheep... but he isnt picky.

or at least I think I was. At the grocery store with my father, picking up some food for our vacation, a man in his mid-20s well dressed (black slacks, colored thin dress shirt, black shoes, "nice hair") approached me. The conversation was as follows:

Him: "Have you tried these before?"

Me: "Yes."

Him: "Yeah, they are pretty good. Do you work uptown?"

Me: "No, I am actually a senior in high school."

Him: "Oh, you look really familiar." He then procedes to give me his name and shake my hand. "So where are you going to school next year?"

Me: "State"

Him: "Cool. Say, could you bend over and pick up that can on the bottom shelf for me?"

Me: "Sure, no problem." Hands him the can of Pork & Beans he'd been pointing at.

Him: "You must work out, you're so fit and trim."

Me. "Every day, have to keep it all looking good!"

Him: "Let me jot down my number in case you'd like to chat sometime, late at night is good for me."

Me. "You can write it here on my hand." "Well, looks like Dad is ready to go, nice chatting with you!"

Him: "Same here, you are a fine young fellow, I look forward to getting to know you better very soon."


What is everyones take on this?

Hard to say, but I suppose it is possible. OTOH he might just be a friendly guy.

 

[TheBDB]

I would never walk up to a random guy and talk to him in the grocery store. :Q

Stereotypes do exist for a reason... and that reason is ignorance.

Stereotypes have nothing inherently to do with ignorance. Stereotypes are nothing more than a conventional or formulaic set of traits or characteristics ascribed to some particular thing as being representative, not absolute. A stereotype is neither good nor bad, appropriate nor inappropriate, by definition. There are appropriate stereotypes, and there are inappropriate stereotypes.

For example: Physicians diagnose neurological disease based in no small part on "stereotypical" tremors or body movements. Some patients with a given disorder do not exhibit "stereotypical" tremor or movement, which doesn't mean they can't have the disorder, it means their presentation of it is atypical.

I'm referring to your ignorance of homosexuality. I have a few gay friends who don't hit on every guy they come across... and they're not "forward and obnoxious."

lol! Yeah....and I "have some black friends", too.

I have immediate and extended family members who are homosexual. That trumps "friends" every day of the week.

If you think being forward and obnoxious is part of the "homo culture" then you're definately ignorant.

Being homosexual does not invariably make one a lifetime member of gay culture. There is homosexuality as the same-gender sexual orientation, and there is homosexuality as a chosen culture and lifestyle. Not the same thing.

cupid is the one to blame.

Or studded leather bondage regalia.

Based on the conversation as posted by the OP, I don't see anything there to indicate that he was being hit on. However, we're seeing this out of context to a certain extent.

 

[EvilYoda]

I still don't get how in this day and age, just because someone dresses "well" means that he's gay...sure, I'm not the type to just introduce myself to people at a supermarket, but that's because I'd be afraid that you were stupid. I'm sure he was just a nice guy...it's very possible that he was gay, but near impossible to tell from your minor experience.
