You gotta talk to your wife, don't you?

1) do the cheek kissing
2) sit with your legs crossed
3) eat quiche

Do you also happen to?

4) talk with your hands
5) own a pink dress shirt (salmon)
6) post on men's fashion websites

Because those all point out to possibly repressed homosexuality.

See, I wouldn't have a problem being a homosexual. It's just that I am not one. Meanwhile, you are acting very homophobic and not considering the issue at hand reasonably. Just sayin'.

maybe it´s not the way you sit but the way you respond to this? I can´t believe people are really that stupid, at least not in the south of usa ..

I hate when people say 'doesnt it hurts your balls' or act as if they have the biggest balls around, I wouldnt be doing it if it hurt my damn balls. Also the ankle on the knee makes my foot go numb within seconds.


But then again this is coming from a whole bunch of gys who always seem to have to prove they are manly or something

I don't consider the position demonstrated by Obama and friends in the picture posted earlier as "gay", but I know many people find it somewhat feminine. Whether a "feminine" act makes you look gay or not I would assume is dependent on the situation, the observers and their general impression of your masculinity. Anyway, what seems to be considered less feminine by "the masses" is to cross your legs at the ankles instead of the thighs. This does however require a more relaxed position and usually more room for your legs, possibly "sliding" on the chair, and is by no means suitable in all situations. It is however quite comfortable, and I sit like that a lot. But then, I also sit with my legs crossed over my thighs or with one foot on the knee as I don't really care if people think I'm gay.

Ew, fork stays in left hand.

I always thought of crossing your legs as being a sort of antiquated, gentlemanly thing to do. I never thought of it as gay at all. I think this is a rumor propagated by angry-abercrombie-wearing-closet-homosexuals, who are too fat to cross their legs.

Seeing as crossing your legs at the knees is generally an act associated with women, it seems more than reasonable that a man doing to the same might be considered a tad feminine. Seeing as gay men are stereotyped as being feminine, it once again isn't entirely out of the question that someone might consider it to be "*****". I'm sure that there are plenty of reasonable people out there who aren't judging people based on the way they cross their legs, but I'm equally sure that there are others who think that you're a bit dainty for it as well.
