God, I’m so glad I’m gay. That dynamic is fucked up.

This quote did make me laugh:

Until that young lady in Oregon!

Thank you for being the final straw that makes me hate people for using “Cracked: [#] things that prove something”

One of my guides to “gay or not” is whether they date people known to be/have beards. So, Green: no. MacFarlane: Yes.

She hasn’t met me yet so there is still hope.

FWIW, when did “nerd” become some exclusive elite that has to do gatekeeping… I’m old enough to remember when Nerds needed revenging (and don’t get me started on Nerd v. Geek).  
But back to the thread subject: Never really gave serious thought to Seth Green’s sexual orientation but frankly casual observation never yielded to me a preponderance of signs in the gay direction. ISTM there’s a tendency to think you recognize gay “tells” that are really no such thing.  
Also, it is, what, 10% of the population? Even if it’s twice as common in showbiz that would be still 1/5 odds…

I suspect that’s part of his charm; he’s five-foot-nothing, she’s taller, and HDGAF. Confidence is attractive.

Maybe the OP is thinking of Bryan Singer.
