Question to gay men

I hang up my work clothes so they don't get wrinkled. The clothes I actually wear are either piled up, in the laundry basket, or tossed over the end of the bed.

What is color-coded order, anyway? Is it the rainbow sequence?

Roy G. Biv?

I hang up my work clothes and the rest are folded. They aren't especially organized or anything but I certainly don't just throw them down somewhere. I'm not a snappy dresser but I try not to look like total crap.
 
Peculiarly enough, the only people I know who leave their clothes on the floor, both men and women, gay and straight, are all Americans. :vulcan:
Which makes me wonder: do they have spotless floors, or very dirty clothes?

But what do I know: this is what I do every time I need to dress up (I just wish I had so many jackets). :lol:
 
Huh.

As with others, I tend to hang all of my pants together and all of my shirts together.

That being said, I currently have more pants than shirts and a shortage of hangers, so I've been putting pants with shirts that matched.

Best of both worlds?
 
I'm lucky my clothes get hung up at all... but should have no reflection on my sexual preference.
 
my clothes are hung up by my mum. if i leave clothes lying on the floor, i get my ass chewed out.

t-shirts are folded up in a drawer. jeans, work trousers, summer trousers, shirts and work shirts, sweaters and my bathrobe are hung up in my wardrobe.

there's no order.
 
That's what I do, although I don't hang up most of my clothes
I'm just curious: if people don't hang their clothes in their closet, then where do they keep them? :confused:

Chest of Drawers. The closet has "nice" clothes in them (button down shirts, suit jackets, things like that), but T-shirts and jeans are folded and put in a drawer.

For me, it's the latter, but I live with it.

I see. There is probably a difference in definition, too, since I don't see button-down shirts as necessarily "nice" clothes, but I keep them hanged all the same (including both short- and long-sleeved shirts), and also my jeans and slacks. T-shirts and underwear are the only things I keep in the drawers.
 
I'm straight, and pretty much everything I wear besides undergarments is hung up. My button-down shirts are kind of organized by color--solids, running from white to dark blue, then patterns. It just makes it easier to find them. And I like being organized.

The whole, "OMG a guy who pays that much attention to clothes has to be gay" thing reminds me of an exchange from The Wire:

BUNK: [Says something about a guy they're watching wearing a Joseph Abboud suit]
MCNULTY: You know what they call guys who pay that much attention to clothes...
BUNK, without missing a beat: Adults.

Very true.
 
No, that just says they're a very organized person. I should do this, come to think of it.

As others have said ... ^

I'm gay and my brother is straight. While I'm relatively well organized, I would never think of hanging my clothes in color-coded order, though I do hang like things together: pants, long-sleeved, short-sleeved, etc.

My brother is straight, but a bit OCD, and has a much MUCH more intricate organizational scheme for pretty much everything in his life, including his clothes, and I do believe there is some color coding going on in his closet.

As a side note, my husband is one of the biggest slobs I have every known, especially where his clothes are concerned. I love him dearly, but it's why we do our laundry separately. :p
 
Any way what I would like to know does anyone here - gay or straight, man or woman - hang their clothes in colour coded order? Also if you saw a man doing it would it suggest to you that he is gay?
If a saw a man hanging his clothes, period, I'd think he might be gay. If I saw a man hanging his clothes in color-coded order, it would suggest to me that he's obsessive-compulsive.

Straight guys just throw their clothes wherever they happen to land. A coat hanger is for straightening out to use as a drain-unclogging tool, and the closet is where you put all the crap that won't fit anywhere else.

Yes, because nothing says I'm straight like looking like a slob. :rolleyes: I'm starting to understand why some people assume I'm gay when I meet them.
 
I'm a lesbian and I'm probably one of the messiest people on the planet. IF my clothes make it out of the dryer they're usually somewhere between the cats litter and the door entrance. Gross I know :devil: that said, no it means nothing.
 
I'm straight and I don't hang clothes in color order. I rarely even wear clothes that CAN be hanged - I almost always wear T-shirts (in summer) and sweatshirts (winter). Hangable clothes, I just put in there by type and that's it - all shirts, all pants, etc., separate. Nothing "gay" about that, more like, just making sure I can find what I need.

That being said, I do hang only clothes that are clean.

I'm sure The Crimson Executioner was joking, but sometimes I have encountered that kind of attitude. Yet they are baffled why girls avoid them like the bubonic plague.

Or obsessive compulsive. Either way, the only evidence I know of that a person is gay is if he/she has sex with people of the same sex. And since you can't tell something like by looking unless you're in the room with them ... :rolleyes:

OK, well I'm a slob (which I think this comes down to far more than any gay/straight thing). For me, anything besides T-shirts and jeans are nice clothes ;)

You see, it's all in the definition: you are not a slob. You are rugged daredevil that defies conventional fashion. See? Isn't it much better? :D
 
Colour-coded wardrobe?

n00b-level shit.

My wardrobe is organised by season (actually, that takes two wardrobes), then colour, with subdivisions (or rather, off-shoot branches) for pattern and formality. I know what I have, and what I want to wear at any time, but I'd never be able to find anything quickly if I didn't have some kind of structure to locate things.

I wish I had some kind of system, like those in warehouses to bring goods to one area, that allowed me to punch in rough criteria, and then display relevant items.

(and this is my new, somewhat reduced in size wardrobe, after clearouts the past couple of seasons)

PS. I'm straight. No, honestly. Seriously. Stop winking at me. Jeez, at least buy me a drink.
 
I'm straight, and I rarely hang my clothes up or put them away unless I consciously think about it, or get reminded about it. Actually, most of the clothes I wear aren't hangable clothes; you'd be lucky to see me in a shirt outside college. So, I'm a slob, or a

rugged daredevil that defies conventional fashion

I like that one better.
