Atomic, the one with glasses? I think he's cute. I love nerdy types (the good looking ones, at least). More than half the guys I've dated including late DH were constantly thought to be gay/hit on by gay guys.

Yes, he's the one LOL. He was constantly getting teased by his "friends" and it really bothered him, and he was even sexually harassed in the workplace by a guy one time and that was just awful. :/ But he's straight, just not super duper manly haha.

That's so horrible. I often feel like we need some 'masculinism', a revolution of men's role models etc like what feminism did. The molds for men seem so limited and unrealistic. And with most people being so socially brainwashed, it's rough if you don't fit in exactly.

Strong women are called lesbians or bitches or both, gentle men are called gay or weak. Oh, I know it well. But I honestly think it's worse for men these days.

Atomic once we were out for dinner and one of my brothers seem to be laying good in the gay market and had some Guy hitting on him. He didn't even notice cause he didn't wear his contacts. lol.
He's now Married with 3 kids.

Ppl always need to say something. Guess it makes them feel better or something.

yes it seems really really strange to me that one of the side effects of the wider acceptance of gays is that now men's gender identities almost seem to be more strictured than ever?!? It's like if a guy isn't burping and farting all the time LOL then that means he's gay. And not that anything is wrong with being gay of course, but just that not every guy is gay!

Yes, exactly! Reminds me of the virgin & whore roles back in medieval times, nothing in between for non-matrons.

And thank goodness for those men too! I couldn't be doing with a whole lot of macho men running amok! My boys aren't particularly sporty at all & it's a relief tbh. My GD would be sky high if I was surrounded by football mad males!! It's bad enough as it is!
