So dumb. I love my big bag. There is a store where I can grab a scanning "gun" and walk along adding my items into my bag. Then it's a really quick checkout at the self serve machine.

Many straight men don't want to be perceived as gay, while I, a queer man, simply don't want to be perceived.

I'd have so much fun if I could go invisible at will...

Your username screams "perceive me!"

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 2 hours ago

It's to distract you from seeing me over my username. 😌

We need to go back to when men were men.

Being afraid of looking gay is pretty fucking gay.

The Great Male Renunciation is the historical phenomenon at the end of the 18th century in which wealthy men of the Western world stopped using bright colours, elaborate shapes and variety in their dress, which were left to women's clothing.

So... gay people actually have a cultural advantage for once. That's a rare one.

I use a reusable bag because I'm not paying an extra 40p every time I go fucking shopping.

[–] Magnum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 hours ago

That's the gayest thing I heard in a while. I see you talking but all I can hear are massive throating noises.

[–] horn_e4_beaver@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 7 hours ago

How homosexual of you.

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 24 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Men we've been scammed, go to the store and look at the completely bland men's clothing options and then go to the women's section and look at all the fun they have with all the different colors and styles, it's really a tragedy.

Dont get me started on drinks! :)

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Bleh. All those colorful drinks are so loaded with sugars. They look like fun, but get ready for a gnarly hangover. Stick with gin and sodas!

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Gin and soda is pretty gay though..... IDK

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'll take the girly drinks and keep wearing my black shirts, thanks

Okay but consider this black leather jacket to go with, or some accessories so you don't get mistaken for a tech bro. Maybe a mixed fabric panel to show that region you've been working out? Vest or unbuttonable portion?

Or pants of some sort to go with it? Maybe?

I'm not straight, I dont even like you people, but for fuck's sake learn to dress yourselves so I dont need to console my (often hot) straight friends or hear their absolutely heartbreaking 'he used conditioner and owns two pairs of jeans in different styles!' Exclamations of joy.

Men are not afraid of being perceived as gay. Only insecure weirdos that need therapy are afraid of that.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

I've met a handful of straight men who were not afraid to be perceived as gay and humorously played along. They were usually the coolest guys in the room. Hell, the confidence alone made them more attractive, but I don't go there.

Masculinity is when you are afraid for how other people perceive you.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Toxic masculinity is that, among many other things.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 hours ago

I think toxic masculinity actually has little to do with actual masculinity. Not disagreeing with you here, more like elaborating.

I just can't even imagine having such a fragile ego and being so unconfident in my own sexuality, that I would be worried about people thinking I'm gay for using reusable bags.

Jesus Christ. These are the people who are making everything on this planet worse for the rest of us.

Nothing makes me want to suck dick more than seeing someone put a bottle into the correct recycling bin :3

all the useless plastic packaging makes me straight 🗿

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago

Unfortunately when they do that there it's censored with pixelation though
