The homosexual persona

Although I have encountered SOME guys like the original poster described, I'm afraid I must report something far more disturbing.


Scarves.

Scarves and the letter "i".


Far more prevalent than any flamer stuff described in the first post, scarves are just as dangerous. Tons of guys wear them. I think I'd look retarded with one.


Also, the huge amount of screen names with "i" replacing "y" on aim truly makes me fear for our future.

I agree.

As for my opinion,

I never talk about guys, or how hot they are outside of private conversations, or even in public for that matter. I don't have an in your face persona, in fact, I'd say that I'm very introverted. I don't know sh!t about fashion, I dress in a t-shirt and cargo pants nearly every day. The only real brands I know are freakin' Old Navy, Tommy, Ralph Lauryn, Gap, American Eagle - that's all that I really wear. In normal conversation, I would never bring up my sex life, or anything sexual in nature to begin with.

My response to you - quit being a smug, pompous, ignorant, stereotypical dick.

I've been around enough open homosexuals (and obviously enough heterosexuals) to notice this: all things considered, homosexuals spend more time fashioning their persona to fit what they percieve a homosexual should act like than do heterosexuals.

While you relativists out there will say that its all a spectrum and that there are some of each group that do so, yet the majority - (ahh, its always this "majority") are neither to one extreme or the other.

Perhaps, but it is an ABSOLUTE fact that more homosexuals put on the affected in-your-face-i'm-ru-paul persona than heterosexuals do with a heterosexual persona (I have trouble thinking of what exactly that is).

While I understand that on some level its just a defensive mechanism, you know, feigning self-assuredness and confidence to mask the deepest levels of insecurity and lack of confidence, but in all honesty there is no need.

You don't need to point every man you'd screw and how you'd do it, in a voice too loud for the situational context. We all discuss who we'd like to screw, but we don't yell it out.

You don't need to pretend to be an authority on fashion or feign an arrogance regarding fashion sense. Just cause your gay doesn't mean you need to be familiar with every chic brand label, and you don't need to show/feign disgust when I don't know them.

You don't need to act like a hypersexual hyena. We all have urges; you don't need to steer every conversation in that direction.

You don't need to act like a spoiled brat. You may like to play with little the genitals of boys, but that doesn't make you a little girl. Grow up.

In short, shape your identity to be something more than your homosexuality. When I met Joe, I want to meet Joe, the cool guy that happens to be gay. Not Gay Joe. See what I mean?


what are you - Dr. Phil for gays?
 
Would it be safe to say that the heterosexual persona, as you put it, is a fairly broad range of tastes and styles and the homosexual persona would be fairly narrow since there are so few comparatively? How many homosexuals do you know? A fraction of 1% of the total population? I don't see how you can make statements like that quite frankly.

You seem very hostile towards gays if you ask me.

I disagree with you completely.
 
Did it ever occur to you that only *some* homosexuals change the way they act as a means of identifying themselves to other homosexuals?

Think about this one.

If you are only interested in one sex, that limits your dating options to roughly 50% of the human population.

If you are gay, and assuming that Kinsey's estimate of 10% is correct, that limits you to 5% of peeps as your possible dating pool.

Further, age and race are factors as well which will whittle down the dating pool further... I can't imagine how hard it would be to be gay and find a suitable mate.

Don't you think that some gays advertise their sexuality in the hope that they might just find someone - anyone?

BTW-Kinsey's estimate is waaay overestimated. His sample of the population consisted mainly of young college students. Not exactly representative of most of society.

Then the dating pool is even smaller.

Digdug, take your big ass bonus check and buy yourself a little compassion.

How can a Homosexual mate? Partner would be a better term mate means propagating or mating doesn?t it? 🙂
 
Gee, let me think. How many guys do I know that dress every day in their perception of society's view of a heterosexual man? How many guys do I know that every day mention or blurt out how they would like to do this girl or that girl, or who make some comment about a woman's rating on a scale of 1 - 10? How many guys do I know that would give me an elbow to the ribs in order to point out the next passing pair of titties? How many guys do I know that have to put on the macho persona in nearly every interaction with anyone or anything?

Answer: nearly all of them but they do seem to mellow with age.

In general, the average homosexual is less obnoxious than the average hetero guy. Maybe they appear to be more obnoxious to you because you are a hypocritical bigot.

See English slang for friend. 🙂
 
An interesting day.

Why so much facination (today) with a group of people who do nothing more than express their personal choice to have sex with people of their own (same) gender.😕
 
I agree. I don't mind gay people at all unless they put on the "I'm a flaming homo" act. That's what bothers me. I think some of them do it though so everyone knows they are gay inorder to have a greater chance of meeting other gay guys. But who knows.

you ever notice that there are lots of women's magazines about clothes and fashion ?

does that mean women aren't hetero ?


I knew a gay person once who was a car mechanic. He didn't give a sh1t about fashion.

Man, let's scramble for a good long distance gun, it woudl be the best christmas present the US society has ever had!

I love the way people actually relate, OF FVCKING COURSE THEY RELATE, it is the POINT of the show, staged traumas and simple solutions, as easy as fast food!

Now, take a look at Dr Phil, an overwheight middleaged idiot, if he is any good at psychology and mental focus, WTF does he weigh twice as much as he should?

That fvcker should be shot and the police should congratulate the shooter.

Exactly... I have a few gay friends and like atleast one manager at every retail store I've worked for (go figure) has been gay. But I dont care they weren't flaunting it or telling everyone. I dont go around telling everyone that I only have sex with women, why the hell do you think I care that you have sex with men. Keep it to yourselves.
 
i disagree- i think that because heterosexuality is the norm, you dont notice it when a hetero is "flaunting" their straightness. when a gay person does it, its just more noticeable because youre not as used to it.
