Bros or 'Mos

[Hermiod]

Wow that was so long ago...

In that time, ive bought a house, got a promotion, and learned to live life as a single mom.

I dont question my sexuality anymore though. Ive learned a lot of myself over the last three years.

Have you learned that negative experiences with individuals are not indicative of a greater trend ?

Hmm. I was coming out of a 12 yr marriage to an alcoholic who cheated on me with the local tramp. You caught a brief glimpse into my life. A moment in time where i was an unhappy woman, questioning the validity of love and the goodness of people, men in particular.

I would say that ive always known that, but thank you for asking.

 

[Hermiod]

^Which is why I gave you a pass last time.

 

[Pingfah]

Well, it was nice of you to wait a few years before getting on her case about it.

 

[HighteeHeller]

^ Haha, thats awesome! Thanks.

I'm not on anyone's case, sorry for any misunderstanding. I just thought her comment earlier was odd in that context.

My last response was directed at Hermiod, but thanks Pingfah.

You're splitting hairs to no apparent end, and you changed my words to do it. The meaning of 'normal' is highly contextual. In some cases it constitutes preferential endorsement, in others not. Obviously this is one of the times in which it did not, and yet the risk was there that my meaning could be misconstrued and so I instead went for 'norm', which drops some connotations from the table (i.e. endorsement) and adds others (i.e. prescriptive) which even more obviously do not apply in this instance. Fat lot of good that did.

Yup, and the moon is made of green cheese. Why not just get straight to the point instead of being evasive and vague? I won't hold your personal perspectives against you.

You're a dick.

When you see two guys together (walking in public, dining at the restaurant, at the movie theater), have you ever stopped to wonder whether they're "Bros" or "'Mos"? Bros may not necessarily be biological brothers in the sense; the term "bros" can refer to two heterosexual guys who are very good friends. "'Mos" is short for homosexual, and in this case two boyfriends.

I don't know how good my gaydar is, but usually I just assume that such guys are "bros."

I don't usually make assumptions either way. (Unless I'm attracted to one of the guys and then I might try to discreetly figure it out.)

I go out to dinner with my friends all the time, I've never once considered that other people might think we're a gay couple.

Sure, people look at me, but that's cause i'm awesome.

I don't think it's fair that just because I share my straw with my male friend that I'm automatically thought gay. WTF?

Well, combined with your wardrobe of tight shirts that display your chisled, masculine chest....

It gets uncomfortable when a gay man tries to grab your hand. Happened to me during a break from classes last year. Felt bad for the guy. I can obviously see why he'd be attracted since we had just been talking about hair gels.

Bros.

He's not my bro, he's my hetero lifemate.

It's a bromance.

 

[kimc]

I'm sure it happens to me. I go on man dates with my friends quite often.

Nothing wrong with that. When I have dinner with someone it's because I want to enjoy a good meal AND their company. Romantic dinners with the opposite sex are always fun but it's not the only reason to share a meal.

It really is. Though we were doing it before it was cool.
