Why have I been surrounded by so many f'ing *BLEEPS* in the last few months??? :-x

[Wain]

Maybe I'm an old fart, but when someone gives me a limp handshake, it feels like I've been goosed. Gays with firm handshakes don't bother me at all.

I'm with you here.  Crushing handshakes are obnoxious and rude, and limp handshakes leave me feeling like I've just touched something slimey.

[blobrana]

 Hum,
Aren't handshakes a bit old-fashioned anyway...
i hear that rubbing noses is all the rage on Baffin island...

I always make sure to REALLY grab them good!!!
hee hee.
I's SO evil!  :evil:

:-o Remind me to stay out of your grabbing range! (Though I always try to give a firm handshake).

'limp handshakes' are kinda new for me. I think of it as something quite civilized. Kinda like: keeping a certain distance to each other, while not ignoring each other...

but nothing beats the eastern bow as greeting

I forgot to mention that they're at this college also. :-(

Limp handshakes? Is that some kind of old Navy euphemism? :-P

Best don't shake people's hands at all, but simply stare at them coldly with a vague expression of disgust. This tactic works perfectly for me. Even with such tactics though, I still can't get a job. Mystery.

They also exist in small towns but they pretend to be straight so they wont get beat up. Then they marry women (that would otherwise be available to marry a straight guy) so that they "fit in" and don't seem gay.

Tragic really, but also somewhat amusing.

Well, I don't think it's amusing!


I'm no longer going to be violent toward the faggot people! :-) :-)

 :lol:

Actually I don't understand why they do that.

Peer pressure? to FIT IN? please.

Would you pretend to be gay and renounce women if it meant you'd fit in, in a gay world? I wouldn't, I'd continue to indulge, conformity be damned! I'd rather be a black sheep that get's laid [by the attracted-to sex] than the white sheep. Who'd fake it? Would you sleep with another guy to be more popular in school/work/society? I wouldn't, and couldn't for that matter, short of holding a gun to my head, and even then I don't know!  :-P

I don't understand it.

You're right.

I fail to understand that also.   However, it really makes me wonder as to whether there really is 'homosexuallity' or whether it is as we may assume it is.

Which is why I sort of see them as 'straigt people gone mad'


After all, there is no proven hormonal abnormality. And studies on twins suggest that it IS nurture rather than nature.

I disagree....  I've known gay guys who say they knew they were "different" from a very early age.  To attribute homosexuality to mental illness is naive.  What studies are you referring to?

Anyway, just because someone's gay doesn't mean that they're in any way a threat to you.  Gay people have been known to have happy and monogamous relationships too...  

[KennyR]

Have you got your emergency Preparation H standing by yet for when your latent homosexuality breaks through, iamaboringperson? Already you're gravitating towards gays (an important sign of gayness) and you're a homophobe (another strong sign). I'm sure it's just a matter of time before your hobbies include manlovin', shoes, and curtain designs.

Why should one have a monogamous relationship? As long as ppl are honest to each other, I do not see ANY problem in polygamous relationships.
Or is this again an aspect of the victorian romantic view of the realizable world?

I guess I was trying to prove a point that people are people no matter what.  Call it dumb an attempt at political correctness on my part...

I guess some people are happy in monogamous relationships, whilst others are just as happy with other arrangements.
