 Why girls are better than boys

Because men are always trying to pick me up at random, and women are completely uninterested in me.

Jesus, you'd think I had a rainbow belt, muscles, and a right-earlobe piercing. Not to mention a bunch of tight faggoty clothes. What is it with these people?

By "these people," I mean the ones who try to pick me up every single goddamned day. I'm not gay or willing to learn, yet, just last night this dude struck up a conversation in the subway, and before I knew what was what, he was inviting me to spend the night at his place. And, frankly, on my knees. Anyway, the point is, nothing could be more flattering than having women throw themselves at me, but having gay men do it just makes me feel as though they must know something I don't.

Nathan,
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but "GAYDAR", as it is commonly known, is infallible. If gay men are hitting on you incessantly, it's because you have homosexual tendencies.

The ability to spot fellow homosexuals at 300 paces is crucial for the gay community - it's how they locate others while avoiding persecution. If gay men are hitting on you, it's time for some deep introspection.

Your friend,
--Peter
Are you adequate?

Shoeboy, you seem like the kinda man who'd love to come over to my house and take off his shirt, and share a Zima with me. We can watch some Riverdance too! Then afterwards, who knows!

Egg Troll doesn't know me. He's only seen pictures. That's not enough to trigger gaydar. Instead it means that Egg Troll is indulging himself in harmless homoerotic fantasies about me.

I'm all right with that. You should be to.

Yours,

Hey, far be it from me to discourage anyone's fantasy life (except for those oh-so-scintillating times when I've been stuck "talking tech" on a support line with some drooling geek -- ugh!).

Try as I might all evening, I've been unable to get the image of you, torso bared, swilling Zima while watching Michael Fucking Flatley cavorting and capering about (forevermore to be known as "He Whom I Could Snap Like a Twig"... now there's a thought worthy of wishful thinking!).

What about the fact that Egg Troll is impinging upon my fantasy life? 'Tis fine and dandy to encourage others to dream of you, but please, for gods' sake, could you avoid actually endorsing something so pedestrian and sordid in your quest for self-aggrandizement? It hardly suits the calibre of your true magnificence, you lusty, loutish cad.

How Can You Say That? (none / 0) (#14)

Shoeboy how can you say that I've only seen your pictures? Remember how we first met on Slashdot? We exchanged emails about how we self-gratified ourselves to the goatse.cx pics, and couldn't understand why everyone else was so grossed out by them. That lead to many meetings between us, including the one last night where you had me gagged and tied up while you wore the crotchless Clifford the Big Red Dog costume!!

except when the person using it is drinking. Or on drugs. Or just stupid.

Nathan, is it possible that every gay man in your town is either constantly hammered or at borderline retardation IQ?

...a computer science student or computer professional? At least 40% of them are gay, Elenchos was pointing out to me the other day. The field is second only to hairdressing in terms of gay magnetism. And many more than that, closer to 90%, seem gay. So, if that's your field, at least you're in good company.

Elenchos was pointing out to me the other day wants to hear the sick details of your filthy sex life.

Well, I did think it was kind of funny when Quake IV: the Leathermen sold out in like five minutes where I lived. Come to think of it, there's a lot of gay slang among IT professionals I know. Like, f'rinstance,

  • "click" the "mouse"
  • "download" the "file"
  • turn it on and "boot it up"
  • "Lin-anux" (I don't want to imagine that last one.)

    It's a little unsettling, actually.

    You mean you're *not* gay? (none / 0) (#5)
    by elenchos on Tue Oct 30th, 2001 at 03:22:20 PM PST
    I mean, everyone has always just, you know, assumed...

    >you know that new gay guy?
    >the *new* gay guy? you must mean nathan
    >yeah nathan...

    I think it's cool if you just act gay. Why not? Express yourself. Why try to force yourself to fit into some non-gay-acting, non-gay-appearing mold if that just isn't you? Just don't take it so personally. It isn't like you can blame anyone. I mean if even on a web log you sort of have this big gay vibe surrounding you, it's just a natural assumption.
