Do a lot of people assume you are gay?
« on: September 26, 2010, 12:22:34 PM »
I think it's becoming clear to me that the more I follow the bodybuilding industry that it would be reasonable for people to assume that I am a bender.  I don't fault anyone for thinking this because as I said, I think it would be reasonable to assume that about bodybuilding fans, especially those who have been following it for a long time.  Truth be told, I started working out to get girls but that didn't really work out but I just really liked working out and kind of pursued it as a hobby.  Bodybuilding never worked for me mainly due to not being able to eat and since I wasn't competing, I never really tried very hard to deal with that.  What is a polite way to tell someone I am not gay?  The way I see it, gay people are lonely and so I don't want to be rude to them or anything.

In my city, one of the gay professors at the university had an entire issue of the school paper dedicated to him because he was ACCIDENTALLY called a "poofter" in the issue before.  So the guy who called him that was ostracized and condemned merely for not understanding the term is UK slang for queer.  I HATE having to walk on eggshells just to not offend people who are so sensitive.  Here is the response the professor wrote:

Quote
I am the “poofter” referred to in the Argus two weeks ago. The use of that word was unfortunate, but opened up a tremendous educational opportunity for the LU community

 ::)

Wait, so EVERYONE thinks it was "unfortunate" that the word was used?  Yeah, because I really care if a gay professor gets offended by a mistake!

Oh and this:

Quote
I can call myself a “poofter” and mean it in a positive way; if you are a straight person, you cannot.

Yes of course!  Because I truly give a shit if a gay professor gives me "permission" to use a slang term for gays.

How does this relate to homosexuals being lonely?  Well, that is the major thing about their lives that they do not like.  But they claim they are being "oppressed" because they get brainwashed by movies like "Boys Don't Cry".  In reality, they are mainly just lonely.  At least the types of homosexuals like the professor above.

Canada is way too PC.

If you are gay and over 40 you better have some money or you will be very lonely from what I have observed.

I would personally expect a certain percentage of people to assume I am gay or at the least bisexual, although I am about as far heterosexual as a man can be.  But following bodybuilding so closely for so long, I can't blame anyone for assuming I am gay.

In my city there was a "hate crime" against a gay man and the entire city was up in arms:

http://www.tbnewswatch.com/News/?cid=64968

But then what, uh oh!

http://www.tbnewswatch.com/news/Default.aspx?cid=68423

Yet the sheep immediately supported Jake because it was a possible "hate crime".  ::)

Don't get me wrong, I don't think life would necessarily be great as a gay man, but I honestly think in the western world today we have one of the most tolerant societies with opportunities for everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc.

I look at it this way: If I have been assumed to be gay countless times, wouldn't I have experienced some discrimination at least once in my life over it?

i like how the threadstarter is all well structured in his replies

the answer to the question of whether you're a homo is or not is this- "Hey yo, i'm no fag- Now get outta out of here before I break your face"

Matt, in order to have to tell someone that you're not gay, you would have to be asked first and that would not occur unless you're at a gay club or a gay owned or operated place of business.  You will never be approached out on the streets with that question out of the blue.  I haven't that's for sure.

Then if you are asked that and you're not gay then the next question you have to ask yourself is why am I here at this dick swinging Sausagefest to begin with???

Of course, Matt you're not doing yourself any favors with that haircut you're sporting.  I've had 3 ex's that have had your same hairstyle.  

Overall, Matt if you ever get asked...then you're prob at a gay club.


BTW, gays certainly aren't lonely and every girl wants a gay friend to chat about and help them with clothing.  For someone who's bi, it works to my advantage.... :)
