OK, before anyone starts talking **** read the whole entire thing! well i wanna find out why people think im gay WHEN IM NOT. it started when i was in high school around my junior year. i wouldn't get it so much like i do now but every now and then people would ask me if i was gay because of my mannerisms and the way i hold my posture. I was raised with 2 females. my mother and sister and till this day our communication as a family and sibling has and is great. NOW, since i did grow up with 2 females, i guess i picked up some of the mannerisms that my mother has when she speaks. don't get me wrong I DON'T ******* DO FLARES OR VOGUE OR SPEAK SUPER FLAMBOYANT WITH MY GESTURES i just simply put gestures to my words, how i speak and tell stories. ive had many people tell me that they love the way i use my hands and speak, and others say that i makes me look feminine. that one doesn't bother me as much. i actually like it. but the one that does bother me is my posture. my mother is old fashion... EXTREMELY old fashion and ever since i was a kid she has told me that posture is always important. im a new age kid with old fashion manners. anyways, i don't know if its my posture or maybe the way i look but it makes me stand out when i go to a bar or club. I honestly feel the tension of the place when i walk in. I walk in like i own the place... calm, cool, standing tall and proud. i really do stand out when i walk through these places because once i sit at the bar people men/females are looking at me and i can feel they they are looking at me. but, they look at me in that "IS HE GAY" look! Its kills me because every time time i dance with a girl they always ask me "are you gay?" and honestly, it doesn't bother me like it use to but tonight it did. i went out with this friend of mine and i saw one of the HOTTEST girls in that joint. I mean...phsss total 10! i didn't ask her to dance. i usually just stretch out my hand and nod my head to signal LETS GO I WANNA DANCE WITH YOU...she quickly jumped and we started dancing. we were dancing for about 10 seconds when she pops out with it "Are you gay?" i said no but i guess she didn't believe me and said "i cant do this" NOW, i did asked if she had a man...she said yeah but he is somewhere in the club so i really don't know if she was saying it because of that but i felt like she didn't wanna dance with me because she thought i was gay. I have always been the kid back in high school who was fat,ugly and funny. surrounded by cute girls but never with because i wasn't cute. Now that im 23 i like to workout and take care of myself because i do. and i thought that by i guess being fit, i was going to attract more girls... GUESS NOT. I really don't know what to do to make myself look more masculine...ive tried almost everything and still nothing. I would post up a picture of me but i don't know how to set one up here. if any ladies out there wanna see what i look like and tell me what i need to MAKE MYSELF MORE MASCULINE ask for my facebook. send me a reply to my email protools97@yahoo.com. im asking for help here ladies. any guys out there that have had the same problem help me out fellas...! once again im not gay..im just tired of people thinking that i am when im not. and it doesn't help when your trying to get at women when the first impression of you is GAY. i remember when i was a ugly chubster MAD FEMALES.... now "OH HE'S GAY" peace!
