Straight eye for the queer guy

I got tired of dealing with messing with my long hair, so I told my barber "high and tight like a gyrene". As it happened my barber was in his younger days a gyrene, so he knew what I meant. And so is my hair, for now.

No more "conditioner" for the better part of a year.

That's sorta gay, no? I am not saying you are gay (and there is nothing wrong with that) just that it seems sorta gay. Do you wear a stud earring by any chance?:D

Almost forgot: oo-rah, sailor.;)

I'm not touchy about it, nor do I wear an ear-ring. I am what the gay community calls "straight looking".

What's your point?
 
I go through stages where I want to cut my hair back, or even just shave it all off. It's just past my shoulders (again - I got it trimmed back last November) and can be tied back easily.

As for being gay looking or not, apparently (according to the opinions of several people I've met in recent months) I could pass for either way. I don't know if there are any hidden advantages in that, though.

Well, I wear my hair just past my shoulders and I also wear an earring. I'm not gay, though not entirely straight, either (read into that what you want). I'm not usually mistaken for being gay, though, since it's pretty well known that I am a rock and roll bassist and singer in some of my spare time.


I am often called a hippie, which I suppose is pretty accurate. :p
 
What the hell is "gay looking" anyway?

Big floppy hat, paisley scarf, bling-bling and a lime-green flared suit? Sounds like the straightest of the straight pimp-daddies to me.

Some straight bikers shave their heads. So do some gay bikers. So is it something about the moustache that sets them apart?

Who can tell... :con2:

Excellent question. I suppose it depends on where you live and the "norms" of that area.

For example:

In Nashville, there are those who think anyone with hair covering part of your ear is enough to shout "F@GGOT!"

In Boston, it's more liberal.

If you ask me, I will only say someone is "looks gay" if they are either a man wearing women's clothing (admittedly, this is not always an indicator of homosexuality, but I can't quite shake that one) or if they are kissing someone of the same sex in public.

Again, though, I'm a modern hippie with about as open a mind when it comes to this as one can get.
 
I'm like SFG - I got called 'Hippie' and 'Ozzie (Osbourne)' at school last year by many of the students, and to be honest it didn't bother me.

As to what 'gay' looks like, I have no idea. But some gay people claim to be able to spot it (I have grave doubts about the existance of such 'gaydar', but maybe there are certain mannerisms that I'm ignorant of. Perhaps it's a Randi Challenge...hehe)

It doesn't bother me to be called a hippie, iether. Actually, it's a pretty fair description, though I don't use drugs, primarily because I don't want to. I do, however, have no problem with people who do.

I worked with some guy from central Europe who insisted that not wearing socks was a sure sign of gayness. He was quite ademant. Anybody ever her of something like that?

Actually, yes, I have heard that one. I don't buy it, of course, but I have heard it.

I've also heard wearing an earring in the right ear, tying a sweater around the shoulders and various other appearance quirks.
 
A number of narrow-minded people I have met reckoned that anyone not dressed like THEY were, even if it was a mullet-cut and pink denim overalls, was a sure sign of gayness.
