Sitting with your legs crossed

Only if you cross them on the right side.

maybe its a cultural thing but back in the states i rarely crossed my legs but i find that koreans do it all the time here!

I sit at my desk with one leg under my rear sometimes. I know it looks ridiculous in a suit but it's comfortable, and comfort is the greatest luxury, or something like that.

It's associated with homosexuals, if that's what you are asking. At least in the Northeast.

You can always cross your legs by putting the ankle on your thigh. This is not seen as gay.


The method generally performed by women is considered gay.

Un-f-believable....

The level of insecurity here is getting insane... Diagrams and illustrations needed?

It's not about insecurity, it's about understanding social scenarios. You can be very secure in your masculinity, wear pink tank tops and cut-off jean short shorts around town, but the point remains that objectively, the majority of the public will consider you gay. That's all my post was meant to illustrate.

Crossing your legs at a specific angle will cast you as a homosexual with the majority of people around you? That's just ridiculous - sorry.

Hey man, I'm just saying that's the sentiment where I live. Not like "let's make fun of this guy for being 'gay' ", but more like several people who see it will think to themselves "that's kind of gay, but he might or might not be gay in real life." Don't kill the messenger, bro.

No it's not. It's the sentiment in your head. I live where you live and what you're saying is a reflection of your own insecurity (that you may share with a few others) - certainly not any social norm. If insecure dudes stopped repeating and snowballing the stupidity of such statements and opinions, then maybe some other insecure dudes wouldn't need to ask if eating quiche or crossing your legs make you gay or "*****".

You probably don't switch your fork and knife either, ***.

Doesn't it squish your nuts to sit thigh-over-thigh?

I do ankle-on-knee when I do cross my legs, but only for a short while as it gets numb after a bit.

I often sit indian style on my computer chair...Of course I'm also unwashed and wearing a pajama so YMMV.

I'm not insecure in my sexuality. In full disclosure, I act pretty ambiguous a lot - certainly not a tough-guy, secretly homoerotic fratboy who calls everyone a "***". In fact, I have even pretended to be gay in the past for ***** and giggles and to confuse women.

This being said, I know what comes off as gay and what doesn't. While 50% of people may not think crossing your legs in the feminine way is gay, the other 50% might. Does this make it gay? No. Does it mean that the action will prompt more people to think you are gay than if you did not do it? Yes. Don't get defensive because you do it.

Also, it looks a lot gayer when a young guy is doing it than when an older man does it. It is a generational thing.
