Why I'm Queer (an infinite list)

Because I like pinup gal images and almost never like "beefcake" images even though I really really really like looking at pictures of naked guys.

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...

Standard Acts of Attraction

Romcom TV shows, and movies and humorous TV ads typically depict guys being attracted to gals in a similar manner: Guy sees beautiful gal and he either loses his ability to function coherently, becomes a bumbling clown as he tries to make small talk, or he drops into a smooth operator,  almost predatory “Hey baby” mood. I don't know how much these standard acts of attraction reflect reality. My guy friends have all been straight and none of them have ever exhibited the standard acts of attraction as depicted in moving fictions. Looks have been noted, specific body parts haven't.  But my guy friends have always been smart, well rounded guys. They've also generally been pretty good looking or had personalities that must've appealed to women because most of them were never without a girlfriend for long and now they're all married. My two male cousins, on the other hand, acted just like standard moving fiction morons, doing and saying everything a horny tee...
