Stereotypes

[BadgerMan]

Funny thing, I work with a surprising number of people who have chosen the “alternative lifestyle”. Many of them are openly gay and a few are highly suspected of being as such. My observation, especially with the women, is that for being gay, they are not very gay! Most of the women will not even talk to me and seem to interact with men in a standoffish sort of way. They seem like a bunch of “she-women man-haters” to me. Whasup with that? :think:

I could not care less what they do in their bedrooms or even what gender they happen to be. So, why do they give me the cold shoulder because I’m a man who has sex with a woman! It seems pretty hypocritical if they want to be “accepted as they are”. Maybe they should all ride dirtbikes. Then we would have something in common to talk about on Monday mornings! :)

Come on FC, you've got to admit that you'd raise an eyebrow (or at least the thought of homosexuality would come to mind) at a young man interior decorator and/or beautician who's hobby is designing undergarments for Frederick's of Hollywood. :eek:

In other words, you've got to admit your situation realistically is about as common, if not rarer.

Don't sweat it. :D

You know that`s one thing I`ve never thought about. Whenever I see a female on a bike I think about how to get my wife on one. FC22 just ignore those narrow minded individuals and keep on riding.

Nephron--good point, but I wouldn't make the assumption that he was automatically gay, I sure as heck wouldn't insult the guy by telling him that to his face (what if he wasn't! :eek: ), and I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

Bbbom--I agree about doing what other people tell you you shouldn't, I try to also. One of the reasons I'm still riding is the guy I was dating when I first started was such a jerk and made comments about me never being a "real" rider and I was determined to prove him wrong! (now he doesn't even ride anymore, I bet I could roost him) But it's still frustrating sometimes.

Man, I'd work the underwear gig in a heartbeat! I wouldn't care what anybody called me. Frederick's would be like being sponsored, but, Victoria's Secret would be like being a factory rider.

I just happen to have an old can of vintage Klotz that I've been saving for just the right occasion. I bought it on eBay from MXwife. I used to be one of their best customers.

A few years ago my dad was really getting on my case about still being a single man; he really wanted grandchildren. Anyway, after a few years of spending my weekends riding he said "Son, you are never going to find a gilfriend or wife if you keep spending all your weekends riding motorcycles, camping, water skiing, and playing around. You need to go into the city and hang out in places where women hang out".

Of course, my reply was something like "Dad, why would I want to meet a woman who doesn't ride dirt bikes, camp, or water ski? If she doesn't do those things, she isn't the woman for me".

Three months later, while in a staging area at a local riding area, I met the wonderful woman who is now my wife and mother of my children. Guess what? She rides dirt bikes, loves camping, water skiing, etc. and can outshoot me at the pistol range! And she is definitely not manly in any way.

If my wife didn't fight the stereotypes, I'd still be single and my dad wouldn't have grandchildren. Don't worry about what other's think about your hobbies. Maybe they're just jealous because their hobby is basketweaving, knitting, or crocheting.

Really? :think:
I would, but a) I wouldn't care, and b) I wouldn't say anything. Whoever said that to you, regardless of what they thought, was an idiot. Again, don't sweat it. Who cares?

I still miss that truck--but not the horses! I think my KTM is smarter!

I don't own horses anymore either, you know how my job schedule is. I just don't have the time to care for them. I still get to rope occasionally on a friends horse, though. At least the little 250F doesn't have to eat when I am out in the Gulf of Mexico workin'!

Now, I have been looking through the World Atlas and I can't find LESBIA. Where is it that these women in question are from, allegedly? ;)
