Always marry Canadians.

May 16, 2015 6:45 AM

I'm Texan, and I dislike football. Hell, I dislike watching ALL sports. Hockey seemed (and still kinda does seem) to be even dumber than normal American sports. I mean seriously, who WANTS to have to deal with a brick of frozen rubber flying at their face at hundreds of miles an hour?

Anyway, I stopped thinking about hockey when this gorgeous guy came up and asked me out right in front of everyone (We're both men, and again, I'm from Texas. This doesn't really happen there.)

I was in Vancouver for two months on vacation, and we continued seeing each other the entire time I was there. It was a potentially stupid decision to uproot my life and transfer schools to a different country, but I knew after the first month that that was what I wanted to do.

Never regretted it. Except for Sunday nights, when my home is full of hooligans watching hockey. Then I regret it a little bit.

Edit: What the hell; front page? D: Am I dreaming?

Thanks for all your support, guys; And for those asking, no, my husband doesn't and didn't play for any major or minor teams -- The 'game' I was taken to was a very minor league, a bunch of friends get together type of thing. We had an audience because there were more than a few college team players there that had fans that found out where they played in their off time, and spread the word.

You only married for our healthcare! But congratz!

Yeah, I've only had a few nights out paid for by women... but gay bars? You can even be honest and they'll still buy you tons of drinks.

Probably because my hair is to my waist, I wear makeup, and I sound about as queer as a three dollar bill.

So do you still identify as male?

Straight people accidentally hit on gay people all the time too. It's only as awkward as other "not interested" cases.

11 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 0

That always makes me chuckle, especially when they are trying to flirt to get free things. "You chose poorly, dear."

11 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I didn't hit on stragers not because I was afraid it might get awkward, but because it might get violent.

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Not always...guys can tend to get a little violent when you assume they are gay...

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You make an excellent point. Sorry for being blind to privilege.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I'm not one of those lol. It just gets a little scary when the average straight guy thinks I'm questioning his manliness

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

But you're right. When a straight person does it, it's awkward, but the reverse can be dangerous. I was unintentionally minimizing that.

There's research at UofToronto studying this. 50 nanoseconds and you can 'see' it - there's a scientific basis for gaydar, who knew

I find I feel every cute girl I meet is also into girls.. I've either got a selfish gaydar or I'm only attracted to bisexuals/lesbians..??

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

On average, female sexuality is more 'fluid' and rests closer to bisexual than the average man, so your odds are always better that way

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

source? I believe you, want to read the research

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

There are a number of others from the same researchers too

That's not the same and it's definitely not a place to look for a date, it's a hookup app...

As a straight woman who has been attracted to more gay guys than straight (without knowing they're gay first)...please fix my gaydar ;-;

Study the face and you'll eventually see it. There's a kind of shape to them which is almost uniform. Maybe you like that. :P

As a straight man who people think is gay, I think we'd either really get along, or not at all

I get that completely.

Would you say its a good or bad thing?

There is actually a trace in the features of individuals which indicate if they're gay or straight. I think of it as a genetic ID.

11 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Please tell me how that works for bi-sexuals. it's confusing as hell

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's not a precise science man, and I can't even explain it in words. I just have an idea when I see someone which turns out to be right.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

as a guy who gets hit on quite a bit by dudes does this mean i have some gay features? i like to think they just hit on 1/2

11 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Maybe, maybe not. Consider the ratio of those who can't tell who is gay by looking to those who can. Ive got better eyes than most so I can

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

people who they find attractive like the rest of us (just with a lot more luck than i ever have ha) 2/2

11 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

tell, but not everyone who is straight can see it and not everyone who is gay can see it. Only a small minority can. Gaydar is an apt term.

I think there's something about finger ratios?

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

have an immune system which is complimentary to your own, and you know this from the tone and appearance of their skin, believe it or nut.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

I call BS on finger ratios for orientation solely based on my own. I've been told I should like ladies, but my attraction says the opposite.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

(Now, I do enjoy sports & comics & games & working on mechanical things, but the feminine form doesn't spark my engine one bit.)

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I've heard of the finger ratios/hormones theory before. Maybe it affects the face too.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Wouldn't know about that. Facial features though. Like, the lines, proportions, coloration, etc. People you're attracted to usually

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Most females have longer 1st fingers than 3rd fingers, males the 3rd is longer. Most gays have the opposite finger length ratios for (1/2)

My 1st and 3rd finger are the exact same size, im a bi-sexual. Fuck this lol
