My ex came out of the closet last weekend

[GingerSnaps]

He admitted it to his family but never to me. He told me that he was straight but I had a gut feeling that he was either gay or bi.

How can you tell if a man is gay if he is in the closet?

[skygazer]

1. See how well organized it is. n/t

[Blue-Jay]

13. Beat me to it!

ha ha!

[Kikosexy2]

2. His love for...

chick-flicks, musicals, chick TV shows, football and baseball--because those players have very nice asses! Am I stereotyping? Is he cute and available--gay in L.A. wants to know.

[GingerSnaps]

4. No

It was more of a friendship now that I think about it.

[Raster]

3. 1. Gay porno mags stashed in the closet (along with hubby).

2. The ABBA record collection.
3. The use of the word fabulous. Straight men don't use fabulous. Hell, they can't even spell it.
4. Hair gel, hair gel, hair gel.

[GingerSnaps]

5. Why don't I feel shocked?

:shrug:

[babylonsister]

6. Hey, my father LOVES ABBA but/and is bald! n/t

[huntsvilledem]

7. uh stereotyping isn't funny

[Kikosexy2]

8. Come on...

I'm gay....so I'm just pulling some leg here for laughs. Lighten up. Everything's coming up roses....!!

[GingerSnaps]

9. I'm straight

But I'm not shocked hurt but not shocked.

[huntsvilledem]

16. I was just saying..

that most straight people already think of that as the stereotypical gay man so why feed their ignorance?

[Misunderestimator]

10. I'd agree with that...

though I do like my power tools :) Just kidding... I don't even own a plaid shirt or a pair of birkenstocks... or a Subaru. Stereotypes are ludicrous.

[Blue-Jay]

15. HEY! I use hair gel, and I'm not gay

until after about four drinks.

11. You might check his thumbprints

Apparently homosexual males have fewers ridges on their right thumbs than heterosexual males

I'll see if I can find the link

[GingerSnaps]

14. I feel like an idiot

:dunce:

[bloodyjack]

17. why?

you've had him under his thumb all along!

er...sorry about that

[Misunderestimator]

12. I've known women who insisted they were gay and turned out straight

who knew? And I've known men who I am just SURE are gay, and they aren't. There really is no way to tell unless they want you to know.

[Blue-Jay]

18. Same here. I've known several "LUGs"

Lesbian Until Graduation.

[GingerSnaps]

19. This man came out to his family last weekend

He kept buying power tools every weekend and he would never use them. Poor guy was trying to be straight but inside he knew that he was gay.

[Misunderestimator]

20. LOL... I keep buying power tools too...

but I can never find them when I need them.

[GingerSnaps]

22. He has a huge walk in closet

Filled with power tools and everything under the sun thats related to carpentry.

LOL

[huntsvilledem]

27. why do they work good? n/t

[Blue-Jay]

23. Power tools? Too funny!

Does that mean that he has some barely-used power tools for sale? I could use a router and a new circular saw.

[GingerSnaps]

24. Never used

If I had to guess I would say thousands of dollars worth of tools.

[Blue-Jay]

25. Talk about over-compensation.

Check on that router for me, OK?

[GingerSnaps]

26. What's a router?

:shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

28. It's used to put a nice edge on a piece of wood.

With the right router bit, you can put a very ornate edge on a table top.

I could use a planer too. :D

[Misunderestimator]

29. I'd love a nice router actually

I'd spend a fortune on the bits though... I already do with drill bits. I have a beautiful set of titanium ones. :)

[Blue-Jay]

31. Cool!

Next spring, you better come to Chicago and help me build a deck.

I also need help framing the basement to create my Lair-Of-Mischief!

[Misunderestimator]

32. Excellent... need any tilework done?

I've done four bathrooms and a kitchen. Lair-of-Mischief... lol.

[Blue-Jay]

33. Tile work?!?

Tell me that you don't have a wetsaw!

Women with tools = teh sexay!

[Misunderestimator]

35. Oh yes... I have a wet saw!

How could I not?

[GingerSnaps]

30. He has one

:evilgrin:

[yardwork]

34. It sounds like HE believed the stereotypes - that's sad

It's not your fault that you didn't know. How could you know what he was thinking and feeling? It sounds like he tried very hard to keep you in the dark. It sounds like he tried to keep himself in the dark.

[GingerSnaps]

36. I am still trying to get over him

It's alright that he came out I know that he was hurting bad inside. I wish that he would have been honest during the last year that I was with him.

I appreciate your message thank you.
