Do I look gay to you!?

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

Aye, testiment to the power of the kilt.

When Arnold Swartzenegger was in his top form he took it as a compliment when men hit on him.

And, there's Woody Allen's thought that its double the chance of getting a date.

In your case sounds like the guy was too focused on his own needs to have any empathy for yours. Not a good way to start a relationship even if you had any interest.

And, it never hurts to have a few stock weirdo lines ready for situations where you need to breakaway clean...."The Russian Ambassador is here, I have to go now." "I'll be back in a few minutes, the pizza you ordered is ready." "I'm sorry, I'm late and have to rewind my DVD's before the next class." Leaves them politely, but puzzled...;-)

And Ackwell, I meant to point this out in my previous post, but in response to the question that started your post, how would any of us know? The only picture of you we have seen (I think) is in your avatar. You could be Gilligan's twin brother or Billy Idol as near as I can tell. But even if it was a great picture, I did not know that being gay was something that someone could pick up on just by looking at you. Maybe I am wrong.

Raphael,

Sure, but there I was focused on the snowfall, the kilt, and the jacket, in that order, and I paid no attention to who was wearing the kilt. As my wife says in similar circumstances, I am such a typical man! Which is brings up another one of my male/female gender differences. Why is it that a woman invariably (at least in my experience) describes someone based on their hair color and style? If I am trying to describe someone to another person, I always start with their height, clothes, race, etc.. However, my wife, and every other woman I have encountered, starts with hair color and style, "Remember that blonde with the Pamela Anderson cut?" or "that lady with the red hair and cut like Barb's?". As a man, the hair color and style are probably the last thing I notice about a woman (won't mention the first!) :grin::grin:

Anybody else noticed this?

I have noticed that, and many other differences in the way men and women behave in different situations. For the sake of avoiding hijacking the thread, I'll refrain for now

I've been hit on by gay guys before, but never whilst kilted. Actually, a gay guy told me I had a nice backside...on stage...during a show. It was all I could do not to break character.

I think it's kinda funny, but I'm not interested.

Maybe you shouldn't wear so much make-up and perfume. (Just kidding).

I've known a few gay people in my life, but none of them were kilt-wearers. I think that a kilt is an unmistakable sign of masculinity, but obviously there are others who don't think like that. I had a guy hit on me once whilst kilted, and I asked him why he thought I might be gay. He kind of stuttered, "Well, you're wearing... uh... looks like a kilt. I just... never mind." Considering all the female attention I tend to receive (I'm not bragging here, as all you kilt-wearers know) I can tolerate the occasional male flirtations.

I have always been told that "It takes one to know one", but I have never (as far as I can recollect) been "hit upon", so that hasn't worked for me!!

Dude, take it as a complement and get on with your life.
