oh God I cant resist......

How funny to have straight whirlcool giving us advice on how to "come out" ok.

no offense buddy, you know you are one of the guys I like best here because of our mutual aviation intrest but the play on words you chose had me ROFLMAO.

BTW, we dont all have the access you have but the Effiel Tower IS pretty romantic.

 

[whirlcool]

I don't know what I did. I just wrote it like I say it.

People are people, and if you are going to spend your time buying someone a gift you should make sure it's worth the effort. We've gotten "stuck" before with some white elephants. In fact we have a statue that we received from Karen's mother that lives in the closet, but only comes out when she visits us twice per year.

I just realized the pun AFTER I wrote that. But it's true! It lives in the GUEST closet.

... Now I have the law (yes, here in my state the gay marriage was approved too), the cake, the dress, the invitation list, the home, the king size bed, a bathroom with two sinks, the wedding cards and the rings...

...Now I just need a husband! :-(

 

[whirlcool]

I have a question....

When gays get married does one propose to the other, or is it a mutual agreement thing after being together for a certain length of time?

 

[dalangdon]

I might ask you the same thing about straight people, Allen ;-)

Gay or straight, people are people and couples are couples. It all depends. My dad never proposed to my mom. He just started talking about "when we get married", and she took the hint and called the priest. That marriage lasted 52 years, and only ended because Dad died.

Personally, I can't see me in a conservatory, holding a bouquet of roses while John got down on one knee and proposed. And I certainly couldn't do the proposing. I'd get a serious case of church giggles, and he'd probably clobber me with the bouquet.

 

[whirlcool]

I did the traditional romantic proposal, on top of the Eiffel Tower no less, couldn't think of a more romantic place for it.

I was just wondering...

 

[thomasortega]

Allen, you're great!

I'm sure your partner is very lucky to have you.
Congratulations!

mutual proposal..

me and my partner(bendixbubba on here) did that. I have no question that a mutual agreement proposal is the best.
Wedding is in Oct., in Canada.

Rich and Chris

P.S.. presents of Bendix, whirlpool, Maytag is greatly appriecated

So does one purchase "His & His" linens, etc.?

 

[whirlcool]

As for gifts, my sister has a gay brother in law. Whenever they buy him and his partner anything they make sure it is extra nice.
Gay guys definitely have a good perception of quality and style.
But our parents taught us that if we ever buy a gift for someone it had better be something that we may like for ourselves. If you follow that rule when purchasing gifts for anyone, you'll always come out ok.

~When gays get married does one propose to the other?

Gay propose to each-other all the time.

Q: Ya wanna?
A: oh ,yes let's.

Marriage is another issue entirely.

I will not buy a thing from Hallmark. These are the people that tried to throw away the original camera negatives for the Laurel and Hardy shorts.

I'm a straight guy, married for over 2 years to same woman (a new record for me) but I noticed a post about Gay people having a better or good perception for quality stuff? Well, I have a hell of an eye for quality and I'm not gay. I can dress myself perfectly with no help and I'm not gay. I moistorize and I'm not gay. I was raised in a beauty salon and can give a man or woman a perfect haircut and I'm not gay so why don't folks stop saying that straight guys are slobs. it's not true. Matter fact, although I have made some bad remarks towards gays on here in the past, I had many gay guy and gay gal friends over the years that I met in the family business (beauty salon). And they were all the coolest people I would ever want to know. I was never ashamed to call them my friend out in public or be SEEN in public with them. That was way back in the 1980's and yes we ALL got high back then and let me tell ya, I got high with a roomful of gay guys and never thought anything of it. I always said that if they were good enough people in their character for my Mom to hire then they were good enough for me to hang out with. so be it.

Nobody needs to be gay to have a good perception for quality stuff.
Nobody needs to be gay to dress perfectly with no help
Nobody needs to be gay to moisturize or to know the huge difference between turquoise and aqua blue.

But you're an exception. Your're some kind of "enhanced" heterosexual, A.K.A. metrosexual. (I don't mean all heterosexual are slobs and I also don't mean all gays have enhanced culture and behaviour)

But I'm sure you know you're not a very common kind of heterosexual guy and that makes you very special. Your wife is a very lucky woman. congratulations!

Hi, My name is Chuck, I'm gay, and I owned, and used, chocolate brown drapes in the mid 1980's (Rich didn't run screaming, but I still hear about them 20+ years later!!!).

Not all of "us" have the decorator gene! Maybe you got mine!!!

Chuck

 

[thomasortega]

Rich

chocolate brown drapes?

really?

hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha
BRB, hahahahah or I'll hahahahahahah pee hahahahha in my hahahahah pants hahahahah

 

[kenwashesmonday]

I'm gay and could use no hair product whatsoever. No drapes here, just $4 miniblinds from Lowes. Oh yeah, the apartment is cluttered and the non-matching sheets on the bed are not made, they're clean though.

I don't worry about this kind of stuff, I just let the wife worry about it. She picks out my clothes for me, decorates the house, etc. I would probably be a disaster if she didn't. My office in the house and the garage are the only rooms where I can be me, and they are both disaster areas. There just never seems to be enough time to do it all....

I didn't mean to come across as to say that all gay guys were perfect dressers etc. But all the gay guys I've known were like that. But I will say this, as far as my style and culture are concerned, they were cultivated into me by a well educated family that encouraged music, manners, education, poetry, public speaking, the list goes on. They just thought more of themselves than to be the slobs of the neighborhood. They didn't think they were any better than anyone else, they just had "culture" and wanted to pass it along to their children. I don't consider myself a "metrosexual', I don't even like that term because actually I'm what you would call a freakin redneck by my appearance but underneath all the grit and grime from working 7 days a week is a well-refined guy as my wife puts it. I just like to get dirty and have never visualized myself in any job unless it involved getting dirty for my money.

And I do have a quite a bit of college hours under my belt as well as being liscensed in the HVAC field but I don't care too much in working in that field but I could do it if I had to. Hey, I just love washing machines more than a stupid air conditioner that just sits there in the window. That's no fun.
