    things people have took me I’m gay for:

    reading
    cooking
    cleaning
    being decently dressed (not even well-dressed)
    having skin care products
    using conditioner on my hair
    driving a sedan/compact car
    playing nintendo or jrpg games
    enjoying classic music/opera/theater/ art & foreign films owning a cat
    drinking cocktails/lattes/milkshakes
    riding/racing bicycles
    not playing team ballsports

    the definition of straight man is very very narrow for some folks, basically drive a giant truck, be unable to take care of yourself, and be into sports and action pop cuture, rock and roll/rap, and only ever do ‘basic’ things.

    if you do anything outside of the box, you’re gay. because ‘normal straight men’ don’t do those things, and if they do, they only do it to impress women or something. like I can go to the opera with my girlfriend and hate it, but if i go myself and enjoy it I’m gay.

      I’m an old man who looks like a Sheppard, I love when other old guys think I’m one of them and say stupid shit.

      “Girl, please” as a response kinda breaks them.

      Funnily enough, people who have such narrow definition of manliness usually refuse to acknowledge gender identity as a concept. It honestly baffles me sometimes.

      I mean it works since that keeps them from hurting you while you’re banging their wife.
