Im not a fan of graphic tees, but the fit looks good and I dont understand how "fit" could be "gay.

You are gay if you take the cock in any of your holes. Has nothing to do with tees.

She has a point since when I thought about it, the line between "cut" and "gay" seems to be a thin one or at least that's what I've heard.

I attached a picture of myself wearing the shirt in question. Nevermind that the graphic tee is from Express. I had to start somewhere so I picked up 4 shirts on the cheap from there.

I normally wear mediums and larges in general but when I was trying on these shirts at Express, medium fit well but it seemed a bit loose and baggy around my midsection as though I was trying to cover something up. Small surprisingly felt like the best fit and looked it too IMO. I work out and have a six-pack so I don't feel the need to hide my midsection; I've been hiding it for all these years under poorly fitting t-shirts, etc.

So what do you guys think?
Is it indeed a bit on the "gay" side?

Background on my friend
she lives in Philadelphia, which as you guys may or may not know has a very strong gay neighborhood. She's fashionable in an understated way (aka her clothes look good but they don't scream look at me).

Disclaimer: Just in case someone is out there looking to pick a fight and here is the standard "gay" disclaimer. I don't think there's anything wrong with being gay (one of my suitemates in college was gay), I just don't want to be throwing out gay vibes with my clothes since I'm straight.

**** says what???

i can't say cuz i'm not your body type, but if I didn't already have a billion white t-shirts I would buy some more uniqlo white t-shirts.

1 and 2 are good. I wouldn't go too much looser than that tee though. The idea is complicated designs are bad.

i like tees with designs on them sometimes when i'm layering (i.e. chrono's last fit), gives the eye something to focus on

When the thread title is "fit is too gay" it's a bit hard to play the maturity card.

Snap! Well this was quite a pile-up.

Graphic tees, imo, should be worn because you like them or you have some association with the image, not as a strategic wardrobe decision which includes analyzing if they're 'gay'. If you have any doubts, don't do it.

Worst threak ever.

The fit is not bad, I mean you can wear a fitted T if you have the body for it, just not spandex tight.

The shirt itself is really bad though, I mean guido douchebag bad, Graphic T's are out imho, go plain instead, and if you insisit on graphics try something more towards threadless graphics rather than ed hardy, fake tatto, GNR type crap, those are just too loud.
