I thought the new term was METROSEXUAL? A more chic GAY..w/out the penial connotations?
my coworker said that I was a male diva, because I color coordinate
and match my suits etc. =)
My gf actually agreed.
Fairy, Diva, Gay, Metro...if you COORdinate.and match from head to toe..
take it as a compliment.

Manton, do you really need to disrespect so many just to draw attention to yourself? I have not yet come to that low point of judging someone's sexual orientation because of what they wear. I could let the two Rolling Rocks I had tonight influence my judgment and make a rude comment about your overly erect lapel but I am going to stop myself there as it's late and I am already at the point of annoyance by your Howard Stern interpretations of business dress.

People wearing that suit in the first pic Manton are so gay, they might as well play jazz flute.Originally Posted by Artisan Fan
Wanting to have or ********** with other men makes you GAY. Everything else is moot. troopOriginally Posted by atroopan
Agree troop. It's not whether you play jazz flute, but whether you play skin flute that makes that determination. All kidding aside, this just a subtler extension of the standard "repression leads to homophobia". Most guys are clueless about style and fashion, so they mock the ones who have figured it out. I'm a breeder, but I've never been concerned that dressing too well was going to confuse anybody else, because I'm not confused myself. And lavender is my favorite color. Forgive me Manton, if I have misunderstood, but I've seen you post in other threads that you find the folks on this forum to be mean-spirited. How exactly is posting the word "flaming" in bold colorful letters not so? FWIW, I see the humor here....it just didn't seem consistent with your writing elsewhere.

Gay guys get wide peaked lapels.Originally Posted by Manton
...must you call out my wardrobe in public?
Purple used to be the color of royalty. Now it is the color of homosexuality. Purple ties are in fact a secret sign. That's how they communicate with each other. The bold woven pattern is just icing on the cake. As we all know, subtlety is lost on gays. Dimples, as noted in a prior thread, are gay. Even gayer is to skew the dimple off to one side a little. A centered dimple is the hallmark of a nerd, and everyone knows that nerds are not gay and gays are not nerds.Originally Posted by Manton
I think a bow-tie in purple / violet color could have done the job more satisfactorily.

Once again, all theory, no practice, eh, Manton? Step out of 1939 and realize gay men aren't flaming stereotypes. From my observations, the suit most loved by gay men is BLACK. Solid BLACK. With notch lapels. The next time you see a guy in a black suit, think to yourself, "Odds are good that guy is gay."

But I DO know that certain items of tailored clothing are widely considered GAY. Fair? True? Maybe not. But we all must deal with the world as we find it, not as we wish it to be, and this prejudice is out there. So let me help you learn to avoid it.Originally Posted by Manton
Why should we avoid it? Playing with prejudices/rules is a good start for elegant dressing.
