    Not gay, I just fear the idea of being around another human. I am incapable of romance.

    Silly silly bedroom lol. Malelivingspace is the malefashionadvice for chubby reddit boys. Everything plain, soulless, and inoffensive. No character whatsoever, just “stick to the template,” Eames lounges and brazilian credenzas galore. The only place online where “what color KALLAX should I get to match my 670?” is asked as a serious question and will get many strongly opinionated replies.

    Live a little in your living space. I think even basic.space gives better homespherebuilding advice than that sub

      Am gay. I don’t make the bed unless I expect visits. Does it make me feel fricking good to see a tidy bed and house? Yes. Will I do it every day? Absolutely not.

        Just like us cis folk might feel as well. Am cis male, feel the same way, sorry of. In fact, I might even make the bed more often when my wife isn’t around because she keeps telling me that living things like a tidy bed more just after you get up out of it, so wait a while until making it. But if I wait, it never gets done. I’ll do it immediately if she isn’t around.

      I make the bed, at least my side of it, every day. If I don’t, my wife, along with the cats and dog, won’t give me any covers when I get in.

      For some reason lots of women think I’m gay too, even when I had a woman friend wingman for me. I’m self sufficient, reasonably clean, I dress nice (with help), and honestly a bit odd so I suppose that’s why they’d think that. Just like you though, I’m quite straight

      I will say this in my bluntly antiquated way (47 man).

      I kissed my buddy in high school because fuck it it was a dare. Didn’t like it it’s fucking weird. I wear pink. Love pink. I’ve painted my nails, dyed my hair, wore a dress before. I do all that because I know I’m straight. It’s hilarious watching less secure people do juggling exercises in their heads when I know I’m going home and I’m fucking chicks.

      My current gf is far more conservative than I am so I’ve toned down a lot but my joke has always been my grandma thought I was gay and asked my cousin once. He told her I’m not because he’s walked in on me so many times having sex with girls lol.

      Moral of the story, don’t give a fuck what people think. Do you and if doing you is being gay then be fucking gay. Own it. Trust people like me will have your back if some dickhead pushes back.

      I’m with John Waters. We need to bring perverts back into fashion.

        Dude, same.

        I don’t wear much pink, but I paint my nails, I color my beard non-standard colors (I look great in purple).

        Completely straight, never once had an interest in the same gender. I often accompany friends to drag shows and gay bars and I have a blast.

          If it helps narrow minded people understand just say that pink used to be considered the man’s color and baby blue was actually for girls before WW2. It’s fun to watch them realize colors have no gender.

    This seems like the thread to ask. I am wiring up a two-way switch so that a person on either side of my bed can turn the bedside light on or off without having to roll over to the side that the light is on. Is… Is that gay?

      It is gay, yes, but since you’re doing electrical work it’s pretty butch. I’d say it makes you more lesbian than anything else. If you get some smart plugs to put them lamps on you can set them for voiced activation and regain some heterosexuality (but only the nerdy, techy kind that comes with big Reddit Mod energy).

      If you want to be back into Normal Straight Bro territory you have to make the voice command for the lamps the sound of you railing a chick. It’s the only way to square things up. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules, and homo math can be very complicated.

        I would honestly say that the smart plugs and general electrical work pretty much go hand in hand. All my very much heterosexual male acquaintances that are electricians love smart plugs. Smart plugs everywhere. Going to their homes is like coming to an experimental museum of “how can I just barely make this building up to code while nothing fucking works”.

          Honest to God, I love my smart plugs. Starting using them because my mom is bed bound, and can’t get up to turn off lights and such… Eventually just put everydamnthing on one. It’s just so fucking convenient… When the power doesn’t go out (lots of brownouts here) and knock the Internet out.

          The naming is not consistent. As Wikipedia puts it,

          This article follows usage in the United States. Readers in most other countries should read “two-way” or “SPDT” for the United States “three-way”; and “intermediate”, “crossover” or “DPDT” switch for the United States “four-way”.

          The switches I’m using are marked with cute “ON/ON” labels which I suppose could be a metaphor for something.

            If you rock it up to a switch, then as the wiring diagram shows: (N)ot gonna (L)ie, (MCB) My Curious Bro, a 3 way gang-bang is pretty gay.

            Edit: on an unrelated note, if the neutral wire comes from the light rose and not the switch itself as shown above then you’re gonna need a switch that handles live wires only. In the UK a lot of the newer houses now have the neutral wire in the switch, but before then many UK houses were very gay with the wiring.

          Well, if there’s only 2 switches then 2x 2-way is enough. Otherwise, it’s (n-2)x 3-way switches plus 2x 2-way.

    This is so bizarre. So his GF decides he’s gay, because his room is tidy? No mention of sex life, so I’m going to assume there’s no issues there.

      I have “the aura”. And although I don’t know what that means, I’ve started asking anyone who asks me if I’m actually gay, what leads them to that assumption.

      The current top picks are:

      I look put together, I care about hygene, I clean my home, I’m usually friendly, I look happy.

      Like… their assumption is correct. But when did caring for oneself become a sign of the big gay? What are straight people doing?!

      Nah it’s contrived.

      It’s an impossible accusation to disprove, because it’s not a thing you did, it’s your preference. You can only “protest too much” or “protest too little”.

      Likely the other person wants the relationship to end, but can’t stand the idea of it being their fault. So it’s the “closeted” person’s fault.

        This is much nicer than the view of the bed. I hate those little prison / kitchen windows over the bed.

        Lovely bedroom and you’re humble.

        You’re welcome to send me a private message ;)

        But seriously, having a sense of taste for the interior of one’s home does not make a person gay— it means you’re an adult with good taste. It does, however, run the risk of classifying you as “fabulous.”

        I wish this is my bedroom…

          “I’ve had loads of gay experiences. I’ve seen a pair of shoes and said, I have to have them! I’ve described a cake as ‘to die for’. But I’ve never had the gay experience of having another man’s cock in my mouth and/or bum. And I think that really is the one that counts.”

    Did you ever climax for her?

    Do you want to climax for a dude?

    Answering this two questions will place you somewhere on a spectrum from straight to queer.
