I Must Be Gay

[Vick]

I am the only straight man I know who ....


....owns more than 16 pairs of shoes.... boots included

:awinky:

[General]

:o but are they stacked neatly on shelves LOL

[Billy]

I am not sure how to respond to this one.. I have more then 16 pairs : )


O yeah..

Go Ravens !

[Peaches]

Oh my - I don't think *I* have 16 pairs of shoes. :unsure: But I have wide feet with a high arch and it's VERY hard for me to find shoes that are comfortable and I absolutely refuse to wear uncomfortable shoes just because they look good. And I'd rather buy shoes that will last and I couldn't care less about the fashion aspect. Heck, I have a pair of Docksides from high school that I STILL wear. :P

[TheEnforcer]

Oh man. I have two pairs of tennis shoes and one pair of "boat shoes". The first pair of tennies was from my sophmore year in high school (and I turn 34 in less than a week!) :P and the second pair is six years old!!

[Nickatilynx]

I have 11 pairs of golf shoes alone. ;-)))

I'm flaming ;-)))

[Vick]

Maybe we're all closet Lesbians :P

Forget about golf shoes. I have 4 pair for different conditions. So add 3 pair of dress shoes, 2 pair of tennis shoes, and 2 pair of boots that and that brings my total to 11. I believe that puts me in the "moderately effeminate" category. ;)

How many of these have you worn in the past 2 years?

How many did you wear more than 5 times?

You need to start making some bank on Ebay, Nancy! :P

must...

control... self...

wide feet, claiming to have made it to highschool, same shoes for 40+ years. Not enough time to fully develop the long abusive diatribe that should accompany that post.

Stop making it so easy, I have things to do.

Yes, dearie - I somehow graduated from HS when I was 2. :P Granted, I WAS only 17 when I graduated (and could have graduated at 16 since I went from a private college prep school in FL to a public school in GA and had completed all my graduation requirements), but you're giving me too much credit. B)

You must not have MUCH to do on your vacation if you can't even stay away from this board. :( Heck, I don't plan on posting here when I'm in Vegas and that's a business trip! :unsure:

The shoes get worn in a loose rotation.

The ties....like 3 times LOL

But I was watching "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and they said use them as tie belts.

We may need a poll...

Who is the gayest webmaster on Oprano. ;-))))

[ulfie]

Ties, did someone say ties? I have at least 200, probably more. Hardly ever where them anymore.

Oh good Lord guys, I'm sure I've got at least 16 pairs in my big suitcase that's on its way to Vegas.

Don't worry, tell yourselves like I do -- when I get to 500, I'll stop.

Your step-son could use some ties. :D

[Vick]

This thread has been therapeutic for me

Thanks he he he (still not going to count the actual number of shoes but the collection does include Renaissance boots)

As for ties I've pared the collection down to about 50
Very rarely ever wear one anymore (something about having a noose around my neck isn't appealing as it once was)

But back in the day ties were the one part of business dress I had fun with

(I sheepishly admit to having some Ralph Marlin ties, Disney ties and a Cirque Du Soliel tie)

A metrosexual is a clotheshorse wrapped around a dandy fused with a narcissist. Like soccer star David Beckham, who has been known to paint his fingernails, the metrosexual is not afraid to embrace his feminine side
Why "metrosexual"? The metro- (city) prefix indicates this man's purely urban lifestyle, while the -sexual suffix comes from "homosexual," meaning that this man, although he is usually straight, embodies the heightened aesthetic sense often associated with certain types of gay men.

That's me - sort of :awinky:

Ties are ok. MUCH different than shoes. When I had to wear a suit and tie every day to work I loved buying ties. Of course the vast majority of my ties had to be different. Had all sorts of animal ties with lions, whales, zebras, and other animals on them.

[DrGuile]

1. sneakers (from payless, no less)
2. Clean shoes





yes, you are gay.
