Alright heres the deal; this was some time ago in my early 20’s so please forgive the seemingly juvenile behaviour here. I was over at my friends apartment. I went out to his balcony to see if I could see anybody at the pool. The pool itsself was not directly under the balcony. It was more like… oh say… 50 to 70 yards away. Anyway as I went out onto the balcony; low and behold I see this really hot chick laying on her belly catching some rays. I called to my friend in the apartment:
“Hey dude come check this shit out!”
so he comes out to see what the deal is.
“Damn! is she wearing a thong?” my friend exclaims
“She sure is. Lets take a walk down by the pool and get a closer look.”
So then me and my friend venture outside and take a stroll by the pool. And then it happened to our horror we discovered that SHE was not a SHE at all. **IT WAS A GUY!!
** :eek: Only he had long hair and he was wearing speedos [ewe]
So what do you think Dopers? Was this a gay thought or not. In my mind it was a woman I was looking at and lusting after. But in reality it was a man.
I’m not sure you’re totally gay. If you’d gone down there and thrown a BJ on him, it would be different. Then again, did you ever have fantasies afterward, of what it might be like?
When I was in graduate school, I won our department’s informal “How gay are you?” contest. I received big points for the shower squeegee (spelling?), the number of cats I live with (five), and having read the entire Tales of the City series. I almost lost during the fashion segment (as I have none) but victory was mine when I revealed that I was the owner of the Barbara Streisand box set.
Once when I lived in the city I passed by this art gallery regularly where there was a photograph taken sort of from the end of the bed of a nude lying face down. The butt looked liked my man’s at the time and I told him so and showed him the photo [still in the wondow; luckily I hadn’t bought it]. We looked more closely and saw a large head of hair against the headboard and that it was clearly a woman.
gigi, that’s a woman.
Hey, I don’t feel bad; you’re the one with the girl’s butt.
[it must have been the angle because his butt was relatively masculine. really]
Hey, a thong is a piece of WOMENS clothing. Men should NEVER wear them. If a guy with lond hair was wearing a dress down by the pool, 50-70 yards away, it would be only natural to assume it was a woman. Same thing with the girlie girl thong.
I agree! but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a guy wearing a thong if it floats his boat. Of course, people are going to assume he’s gay, generally speaking, if he does.
It isn’t cross-dressing. There are and have been cultures where thongs or other revealing type swimwear on men are totally accepted, and are worn by obviously straight, non-transvestite men. You wouldn’t see those guys wearing a dress, for example. I think it’s ridiculous that in this country, just because you’ve got an extra X chromosome your trunks or shorts have to have an extra 10 inches in the inseam, with each leg almost wide enough to put both your legs into.
But I digress…
As to the OP: The guy wasn’t close enough for you to tell that he was a guy, so why would you even think you might be gay, just because you mistook him for a woman?
