Je n'ai pas eu l'intention de dire quelque chose inconvenant, Anne. Veuillez m'excuser.

Why are all the most cultivated, elegant, cleanest, classy men gay ? Know their way about Persian rugs and antiques, fine dining-and-wining, can describe the size and behavior of the goddam BUBBLES in various champagne vintages (truffy: that one was for you !), dress smartly, have refined manners ....... deep sigh !!! That is SO unfair ! So WE the women are left stuck with chubby Sloppy Joe in his socks and brown leather sandals, glued to the TV sports channels, 6-pack ready *burp*....... Now, ladies of the forum, THERE's a worthy cause to fight for ! How to lure those yummy gay guys to come back from The Dark Side ?

Well, Gitte--if fine-tuned wit and outright hilarity has any bearing on the matter, then you are the perfect woman for the job! ;D

Gitte, we don't need to lure them back (well, "over" really -- I mean, you can't exactly go "back" to someplace unless you were there at some point, right?). We just need them to give occasional civilization lessons to some of their less enlightened brethren, when and if needed! Why turn the swan into an ugly duckling?

Gitte - I think the person you described is now called a metrosexual! ;D

sistereurope - metrosexual, eh ? In a Parisian context that sounds just "un tout petit peu" risqué ! I think I'll have to spend more quality time down in that metro......... hehehehehe.....

Gitte, Not single. Although my wife of 30 years standard line is "if you find someone who wants you, they can have you." lol( I think she's kidding.)

Well, here's the "proper" definition of metrosexual, straight (ha!) from Miriam Webster: a usually urban heterosexual male given to enhancing his personal appearance by fastidious grooming, beauty treatments, and fashionable clothes. But ok, being the "metro lover" that I am, I'm open to other interpretations...

Gitte, I LOVE your description of the heterosexual male . Re your question of how to lure gays to our side, I think that your gorgeous avatar is a good beginning . Maybe I should do something about mine ...

Do you realize that posts like these would get us kicked out and banned forever from other travel forums ? We are so lucky !

I've been off the board for two and a half hours, and here I am again catching up on all the juicy posts that I missed. Wow - this thread is delightful! Gitte - Are you trying to say that your darling SO meets the description of those heterosexual men that you described? One question, .....do gay men snore the way straight men do? The reason I'm so curious is that all my friends complain about how badly their hubbies snore. And BTW, if you ever see me online and it's before 5:00 A.M. here, take a guess why. ;D

He does, Shoesy, just replace the 6-pack of beers with a bottle of redwine. The glued-to-TV-sports-thing is the same....... I tell you, if I started stripping in front of the TV, he would ask me to sort the laundry somewhere else.....
