Well now there are always times when we as gay men feel that we want to get in touch with our manly side and do some butch things. Maybe some DIY perhaps some working on the car, god forbid I get grease monkey hands, but generally manly things. Even straight men go through these phases.
Well I always take it a step further sometimes, but hey that is part of the experience of life I guess. More recently I joined a motoring forum, which I will keep anonymous, because I bought a specific car and was encouraged by a straight friend to join. I think he mainly did it to try and convert me as there is some history there but I thought hey lets see what the straight boys can tell me. Well let me tell you the straights are way more communicative on the net and on forums in general compared to any of my homo sisters on Manhunt or Gaydar or any of the other sites. Within 2 minutes of me introducing myself in the forum I had about 20 replies welcoming me to the family. There is no gay site in the world that will do that. Hell the gays classify you into two categories only, fresh meat or competition, neither of which is really very appealing. If you’re in the fresh meat category you will get all kinds of obscene messages or pictures form creepy guys in various stages of their lives. Mainly the ones that are going through midlife crisis’s that has suddenly realised, “Oh Crap, I have no one to grow old with… Oh well lets just bang then”. If you are in the competition category you will get either no replies to emails or winks etc. or they go look at your profile and then do nothing. You then obviously send them a mail or a wink or some form of communication that show interest, and then… nothing… Not a reply to say “sorry, not interested” or “sorry, your ugly” nothing in terms of basic communication etiquette. You would think that because most gays are so set on being proper and successful and well dressed and so on that basic communication would be a breeze, well think again.
I can tell you that the straights love me, they don’t know me from a bar of soap but the fact that I drive this car is enough for them to think that I am the coolest thing since Vanilla Ice was discovered. This afternoon I uploaded some snapshots of my car and again in a matter of seconds I had posts going around about how cool it looked, how awesome the colour was etc. WOW…
Why are the gays so stuck up and pretentious. There is no skill to being a drama queen and trust me honey even though the word “Queen” features in there you are everything but. From one homo to another, get the hell over your issues, insecurities and fault finding tactics and chat to people. Yes people are idiots sometimes and yes there are things like gay bashers but if we all just spent some time getting to know the people we are so opposed too or frightened of, things might actually not look so gloomy. I have tonnes of straight friends who will even help me check out guys from time to time.
I’m making tonnes of new friends with this car though, its freaking awesome. People greet me in traffic, wave as I drive by and even stop me to ask me about it. I am amazed at how people can communicate but oh no, not the gays. Do we really think that we are better than everyone else, because I can sure as hell tell you that we are not. Prancing around with a limp wrist and tight jeans, squealing at the top of your voice is certainly no achievement and does not attract any potential lovers or friends.
Don’t get me wrong the majority of straight men are crude, rude and disgusting sometimes. A while back I went to a popular straight hang out where they race their cars down a tarmac called Tarlton Raceway. Well let me tell you that I can now confirm that most straight stereotypes are indeed correct. Smelly, greasy, mechanic looking types that flex their so called muscles and rev and tune engines. I can honestly say that I have never been that disgusted and aroused at the same time in the presence of such boat loads of testosterone junkies. My hormones have never been so confused; I nearly had a melt down. After the first 30 minutes of racing it does get a bit boring and the spectators get a bit out of hand. I had flash backs from the movie “The hills have eyes”, scary stuff. My suggestion, go for the fun of it but leave before it gets too insane.
Stereotypes are there because of certain people and unfortunately yes we do all get measured on the same level. But let’s all just be chilled out, happy and gay. There is really not that much that needs to be done about it.
Until next time…
