Butch Up The Bachelor Pad.

Postby selective_soldier » Fri Dec 25, 2009 4:05 am

If you’re "out" & everyone knows you’re "out", cool deal. This spans from an old topic Butch Up The Bachelor Pad.. D-Gay the home before nosy company comes over, same concept. Something that looks, gasp.. smells like a real dude lives here.

A new one I'm noticing
:arrow: having pictures of kids in not -so obvious spots.

:arrow: I notice a lot of “str8” single guy friends have brighter colors patterns for their rooms etc.. as there a memo I missed?

:arrow: The less food in the fridge, the more you look like the macaroni making male.

:arrow: The bathroom has to have the appearance of being un-kept... :?

I did my annual bathroom cleanup this week. Got to start the new year right.

Having been a photographer of note of male nudes, there will be no mistaking my sexual orientation in my home.

I like to rotate some of my favourite photos and models but usually have have about 6 on display. I guess I've made several thousand photos in my life, so it's nice to see some of them.

Oh... also did the annual fridge cleanup too. Not that there's ever much in there but milk and yogurt, maybe a loaf of bread once in a while.
I make a mean peanut butter sandwich and a pretty good bowl of granola, but my cooking skills don't much extend beyond that. Oh... I can cook rice without screwing it up.

I like my place but there's no hiding the G factor... I'd probably make a good interior decorator. I guess that's a giveaway too.

Annual bathroom cleanup? Yikes. :shock:

I'm pretty bad with that, too. I scrub the shower once a year whether it needs it or not. Toilet as necessary. ie. after I have the splats :P

Cooking should be taught in school, no? A life skill? Hello? I don't see many people needing all that algebra crapola. :roll:

Hmm well I dislike cleaning a lot.
And im pretty messy.
I don't decorate well.
And i put random weird things up...

I wouldn't make a good interior decorator. And from my room i don't think you could tell my orientation.

I hate cleaning. It's boring and it feels futile.
I think that's what shielded me from most homo-suspicions over the last decade.

However, I keep all my bank slots and gear in World of Warcraft DAMN tidy and organized... :lol:

I keep all my vid games organized.
And I keep my music, video, and picture collections (On computers) pretty organized. In general i can organize everything on my computer really well. (I dislike having icons on the desktop).
And for some reason i have my vid games in alphabetical order on the shelf in the cases. But everything else....is thrown all over the place.
Funny thing is, i have a place for everything and everything is in its place.
My parents who are very neat, can never find anything and in my room where everything is all over the place i can walk in and find exactly what i'm looking for.
The only kind of cleaning up i do, is picking stuff up off the floor and taking dirty dishes to the living room.
Other than that, once in a while we have someone that cleans our house.

LOL!!! I have a huge pile of laundry in the bedroom that I've been meaning to tackle. Hopefully tomorrow. And I put up a book shelf in the bedroom over the holidays. Maybe I should put the books there too? Maybe tomorrow. And my gym clothes need a worsh too, maybe...tomorrow! I had a girl that used to clean the house too, then I married her and created a job opening.

Wow! Nice. Well now you have to find someone to fill that job opening......
I rarely hang my clothes...I hate it, after laundry days i hate hanging clothes so sometimes i don't do it at all. And i don't make my bed at all most of the time.

Ummm, Tex, honey? I'm almost afraid to ask... Is there a reason those dirty dishes only make it as far as the living room? Do you not have kitchen privileges? :shock: (and by the way...yuck!)

I think I just did :lol: :

"Ever wonder what it be be like to have nude housecleaners like in Europe? Well here`s you`re chance,I`m a 22 year old guy from Edmonton starting such a company.Basically I`ll do most housekeeping completly naked,or mayby you don`t really need cleaning, but just wan`t a little naked company for a couple hours.I will not perform actuall intercourse but a little bit of light touching and stuff is fine.So if you`r interressted in something different give me a shout at :... "

Hmmm. If I trade in a 44 y/o, doI get two 22 year olds?

Hey Nimby, something went wrong with the transmission there. Somehow the phone number didn't make it through. I sit here patiently with phone in hand hoping it will make it. My umm, house could sure use a cleaning. Yep. hehe

Actually, I'd be more likely to trade in two 22 year olds for a 44 year old. But that's just me.

Well, I thought I'd leave your phone number off here, you know, for privacy sake. But I have it :wink:

And I'm only 40. Will that do or should I wait 4 years? LOL!!!!!

I am out, all my family, buddies, car racing acquaintances, hell it even says on my facebook I am looking for men, etc.. but some people still ask me if I am "sure" I am gay or just playing a joke, because of how my stuff is.. be it clothing, house, cars I drive, hobbies etc... I just couldn't give a rats ass lol.

Well Daknee...

I have to say it has been my experience, that people do tend to stereotype and like to be able to compartmentalize stuff so that it fits the way THEY want it to even if that's not how it is.

On the other hand, the stereotypes, I have found, do very often exist.... so I think all that is happening is people meet.. and in often cases not only "a" gay guy but their first... gay person who is a friend or family member and it's totally not what they expect... ya know?

I dunno what the solution is.. but.. nevertheless this is what happens to me a lot. "You sure you're Gay?? Cmon........ you ain't just phuking with us...?". "No man I am Gay...".

Yes, the stereotypes exit, but for someone to think all is a shame. Do Black people like to eat watermelon and dance? Yes, I'm sure some do but to say all and assume ALL to is a shame :( .
