Why I'm Queer (an infinite list)

Because even though I like all sorts of attractive young men I think Carly Rae Jepsen is a heckuva a lot hotter in the Call Me Maybe video than the lawn boy she's fawning over.

(And that song ain't typically my kind of music. But the other day, almost a year after it was released, I looked/listened to it for the first time.)

Gaydar

I don't think gaydar is a real thing, and even if it is I don't think it's something all queer guys have. If it exists at all it's based in experience. Some queer guys can gather subtle information that leads them to conclude another guy is queer.  Fake gaydar, where wishful thinking leads a queer guy to think another guy is queer, is definitely real. I've encountered a couple guys (friends of friends) who were so convinced a guy was gay that they were actually angry the guy hadn't come out of the closet. I don't have gaydar, I think. There have been guys I've met or been acquainted with who I've thought might be into guys, but I've never had any follow up for proof. And as to what it is in the other guy that makes me think he likes the dick I have no idea. It's never anything about his mannerisms or things he likes* or a clue as obvious as him giving a passing guy the elevator eyes or talking a lot about one particular male friend. ...

Nobody's Somebody

With one possible exception, I've never had anyone show romantic interest in me. I've also never really had anyone show social interest in me beyond party invites and the occasional casual dinner get together. I hadn't noticed that I'm apparently not friend material until a few years ago when the lives of most my actual friends became consumed with marriage and kids. All but one of my friends live in other western states. I used to call them all fairly regularly but over the years they had less and less time to talk on the phone. I continued writing letters and sending postcards. I also texted regularly, texts I figured were humorous or comments on the news. Most my friends rarely respond to the texts. I have quite a few acquaintances and Facebook friends, almost all of them are related to a couple hobbies I have. There are occasional parties and I always have a great time talking with my acquaintances, they're generally smart people with a wide range of in...

My Type

On Reddit the other day (in the Gaybros or AskGaybros  sub)  someone posted a question asking guys to describe what type of of guy they're into.  It seems a lot of guys have a definite type that most grabs their eyes. I'm not sure I do. It's easier for me to nail down what I don't like, that's overly groomed and/or ripped guys. Most “big” studio gay porn models fit that category. Even if a guy has an amazing face I can't get into a a waxed and buffed Ken doll body. I like tall big chested guys and little guys with small chests, I like tall geeky guys and short guys with solid builds, I like classically good looking guys and guys with big ears and not much chin, I like bearded guys and clean shaven guys, and so on. The one thing I definitely like the most is a guy who just seems like a guy, an ordinary guy who maybe doesn't have any distinguishing feature that would get him noticed. A guy who almost looks like a cartoon drawings of a generic mal...
