Sleep with my buddy on same bed.
Listening to Frank Sinatra singing about women by a guy who used to play grab ass with men. They always find something to project their insecurity on to.
Around 2010ish I was thoroughly enjoying some Bells Two Hearted and other IPAs. My brother (2 years older) tried arguing that bud light is man’s beer, and my beers were fruity and girly. It certainly doesn’t matter to me, but the irony of choosing bud light, out of all the macro beers, is just 👨🍳😘>
Reading that anyone could think Bell’s Two Hearted is “fruity” is fucking wild.
I’m guessing he hadn’t actually tried it at the time.
Solid beer all around
Ah yes, IPAs, the least manly of beers.
I remember kids telling me I was crossing my legs in a gay way. I asked them who said so, and they said their teacher. That was the first time I realized some bullies grow up to be teachers.
All of the comments here are reminding me of how life was 20 years ago and also before I was married with kids.
I genuinely don’t fucking care how feminine somebody thinks something I’m doing is if I’m comfortable or enjoying myself. I’ll drink pink drinks all day if it fucking tastes good LMLML bro.
Well it was only twice in the 20+ years I’ve been going to bars, and I don’t shy away from a gay bar.
I’ve had a colleague say that tea is “homo water”. I’m aro/ace, but most of my colleagues don’t know that. Similarly a straight colleague of mine got mocked for wearing pink (but not feminine) shoes. After some of these incidents we’ve kinda started pushing back against this nonsense by deliberately triggering these people and calling them out, which has worked so far.
To anyone who thinks tea isn’t for cishet men I have four words:
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
😳😳 Hey, I’m a cishet man but thinking about joining jean-luc for some tea, earl grey, hot, really gives me the vapors.
As a kid I was told if you eat scrambled eggs for dinner you are gay. It affected me longer than I care to admit.
You know sometimes when I eat eggs after noon I start to wonder…
What possibly was the logic here?
In the 90s, “gay” had become a catch-all term for “thing I think is stupid”. I’ve heard LGBTQ people intentionally unironically use the term in this manner.
In jr. high i was called gay because I dressed semi decent. Jeans with a t-shirt a blazer was apparently too much for them lol
Why would you want to wear a blazer for school outside of important days?
maybe they like the look?
I did like the like and I looked pretty solid in my opinion. I usually wore it when it was like fall with a little chill in the air
ETA: it was a very casual blazer. Not wearing a suit jacket or something lol
Use chapstick
Read a book in public
Not go to gym
Play certain more “feminine” games
Those off the top of my head. I live in a nation of backwards idiots, so there for sure are more
Use chapstick
How I get around that: Wait until my girl uses hers, then kiss her.
It’s a bit of a running meme between us.
Use chapstick
My first exposure to Big Bang Theory was the scene where they made fun of one of their friends for “wearing lip gloss” and refusing to call it chapstick. It was so weird and toxic and I assumed it was a gay panic joke before finding out it was the nerd show I was avoiding. Fucking terrible show.
Chapstick and lip gloss are different where I’m at. Chapstick is a thick paste stick like beeswax consistancy, and Lip Gloss is a roller tip with liquid inside.
One goes on matte and one is Glossy
They’re different in the US where the show was written and the target audience is. Sitcoms just have terrible, toxic people in them because it’s easier to write conflicts. It’s Always Sunny is aware of that and takes the idea to the extreme without making the MCs likable. BBT is just lazy writing with lazy “nerd jokes”
Whats wrong with nerd jokes?
Eat an ice cream treat in Australia:(
Golden Gaytimes are brilliant
Far better than Silver Straighttime
I would recommend that anyone concerned with privacy either use a burner account or not answer these kinds of questions.
While statistically I’m sure there are many straight men here, doxxing and other forms of identification are enabled by combining different breadcrumbs of information.
Uhh what?
Your question is for “straight males”, so those answering it are implicitly saying, " I am a straight male".
This is a subset of the population, so if you wanted to identify a user here, this would be a ckue. It would be useless on its own, but I’d they share more clues over time, they may reveal themselves accidentally to someone trying to fix them. Examples:
-
The city or state they live in.
-
Their age range.
-
Their ethnic identity.
Just that much info, which people will easily expose if they answer questions like this, could be enough to identify someone. There are only so many straight 23 year old dudes from Guam living in a particular suburb of Baltimore.
This advice feels a lot like something that should be stuck on a wall rather than posted as a comment in a conversational subreddit. It’s kind of like reminding people on posts about alcohol and partying not to drink and drive - unprompted. Reminders like this are great, but setting and context are important, otherwise you drive people away from the conversation.
Comments with warning likes mine should be stickied at the top of all posts premised on people providing personal information in order to post.

Sssssuuuuuuurrrrre…
But I really don’t think Lemmy is big or widespread enough for people to recognize each other based on random info and a username.
Doxxing generally happens because someone wants to identify you, not because random people accidentally figure out who you are. A doxxer will attempt to extract details from your account’s comment history and see if you have other accounts based on username or specific references.
Sucking my best friend’s dick. I’m sorry, but if my friend is having a bad day, giving him a bro-job is not gay.
I’m generally skeptical of comments on the internet, so almost every time I have read comments like this one that you’re reading right now, I’ve been like “yeah right”. Kinda like how “lol” means “laughing out loud” but when you read it online you don’t really expect whoever wrote “lol” to have laughed out loud? Anyway, I was drinking coffee, I read your comment, I snorted in laughter, and now my white shirt is full of coffee.
I guess I’m also kinda mad at myself for laughing so hard at such a silly joke. Regardless, have an updoot 👍
Not judging, but that is definitely gay.
Only if he gets a boner
Only if they kiss afterwards.
What if the kiss is just kissing the homies goodnight?
Put away the D, wait 10 mins and you’re good.
It’s not gay as long as the kiss is only 1/4" of tongue or less.
Sounds like a happy experience all round.
I need more friends like you.
Washing your asshole… Seriously dudes, wash it anyway
Yes, why would you expect anyone to stuff something up there if you’re not going to at least keep it clean!?
Yeah this is still astonishing to me as a guy. Why is basic hygiene gay?
And up to the first knuckle, you don’t have to jam soap up there but wash your nasty ass if you expect anyone to not gag when they get near your crotch.
Some of yall are nasty.
