Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but being a 35 year old straight male who’s looking to meet Ms Right, the following evidence certainly doesn’t help. 1. I’m an attractive 35 year old unmarried male. 2. I’ve got a reputation as being “creative” and “eclectic.” 3. I can hold forth on topics such as the arts and interior design. 4. I have Florida [State of the Arts](http://www.hsmv.state.fl.us/specialtytags/tagesflart.html) plates, which I just found out may be the DMV equivalent of a huge rainbow flag. 5. I enjoy shopping at _Pier 1_ and _Bed, Bath and Beyond_. 6. I have absolutely no athletic talent whatsoever, and don’t care about sports in the least. 7. I’ve got plenty of female friends that I never slept with. So, let’s forget about online tests. If you’re straight, what really makes you “gay?” ---
