I would recommend that anyone concerned with privacy either use a burner account or not answer these kinds of questions.

While statistically I'm sure there are many straight men here, doxxing and other forms of identification are enabled by combining different breadcrumbs of information.

Use chapstick

Read a book in public

Not go to gym

Play certain more "feminine" games

Those off the top of my head. I live in a nation of backwards idiots, so there for sure are more

Use chapstick

How I get around that: Wait until my girl uses hers, then kiss her.

It's a bit of a running meme between us.

Use chapstick

My first exposure to Big Bang Theory was the scene where they made fun of one of their friends for "wearing lip gloss" and refusing to call it chapstick. It was so weird and toxic and I assumed it was a gay panic joke before finding out it was the nerd show I was avoiding. Fucking terrible show.

Chapstick and lip gloss are different where I'm at. Chapstick is a thick paste stick like beeswax consistancy, and Lip Gloss is a roller tip with liquid inside.

One goes on matte and one is Glossy

Wait so are white socks gay or any other color than white socks gay?

Just wear then

Handing out homemade candy in one of my upper level college courses.

As a fellow crafty, cooking, mostly straight dude, I'm sorry to hear people calling your generosity and thoughtfulness "gay."

Choosing the urinal next to another man.

Really feels kinda gay, though, especially when the dude next to you squints over.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This isnt even a gay thing, this is a social and privacy/personal space issue. Don't pick stalls that are far apart because "it's gay," do it because other people might feel uncomfortable being near other human beings period (might get stabbed or robbed, might get harassed, or might just have extreme social anxiety - the most likely) while their privates are exposed and they're in the middle of something.

Unless there are huge dividers between each one. Then it doesnt matter as much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If dividers weren't shorter than most moderately tall dudes I wouldn't care but I've caught one to many weirdos taking a peek over the wall to ever be comfortable with someone in the next urinal.

I'd rather choose the stalls than pee next to another guy. Especially if there's no divider or a low divider that is practically useless

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Same. It’s not even a sexual thing, I just have a shy bladder and physically cannot make myself go if I can feel someone else’s presence nearby, even if it’s not a stranger.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Safety in numbers. I can't pee unless I'm standing next to another bro

Sucking my best friend’s dick. I’m sorry, but if my friend is having a bad day, giving him a bro-job is not gay.

I'm generally skeptical of comments on the internet, so almost every time I have read comments like this one that you're reading right now, I've been like "yeah right". Kinda like how "lol" means "laughing out loud" but when you read it online you don't really expect whoever wrote "lol" to have laughed out loud? Anyway, I was drinking coffee, I read your comment, I snorted in laughter, and now my white shirt is full of coffee.

I guess I'm also kinda mad at myself for laughing so hard at such a silly joke. Regardless, have an updoot πŸ‘

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Not judging, but that is definitely gay.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Only if they kiss afterwards.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Sounds like a happy experience all round.
