okay...

back on topic:

I worked in a neighborhood with a large number of gay residents and a large number of our clientele was gay. For the most part you wouldn't be able to tell most of these guys apart from your average urban straight guy. There were a few characters that would fit many different gay stereotypes, but for the most part, they were just normal dudes who didn't fit any one stereotype.

Two of my buddies are gay. One was a bit effete, extremely artistic and always had gorgeous female friends in tow. The other was married with a child and totally "not obvious," if that makes sense.

In the OP, substitute any other personal descriptor for "gay," and you begin to see how erroneous it can be to invest in stereotypes.

"Are redheads as 'together' as they make it seem on tv?" for example...

Ever had one of your straight girlfriends fall head over heels for one of your gay friends. She told me she could "un-gay" him... Lord have mercy... he was hysterical and very animated. I was on the floor laughing.

In seriousness... as others have said here, I agree this stereotype is no more true than those about other social groups. Some fit it; others absolutely don't.

slob in the jeans and $20 shirts here. mostly.

I'm a TOMBOY. I can be campy but I also do manly things. Whatever they may be. I'm not afraid to get dirty, change my oil or ride a motorcycle.

I'm a jeans and t-shirt kinda guy too.

I've seen a couple of gay movies on HBO and laughed my ass off. They were soo stupid.

It gave the appearance that they always had that one female friend they could confide in who had it together as well, except with her straight, friendly, non homophobic-yet-ignorant-of-gay-matters boyfriends, etc. etc.

And (I'm gonna get shot for saying this), but they never reveal just how promiscous gay men often are.

I see a lot of gay men on this thread, and you are all sluts.

If we were both single, I would seriously want to mount you right this very second.

Cloudbuster said:

I'm counting on it. ~3 days to England~

Too many gay men spend too much time worrying about the things that arent important , just be yourself and be happy

You dont have to be perfect , nobody is
You dont have to sleep around

In answer to the thread title...



HELL no.



Good lawd. I've met more neurotic gay men than I've had hot dinners.

It must be that natural swish of style that confuses you.
