Relationships Thread

Speaking of effeminate looking men, some eye-liner wearing, floppy-haired art douche asked my girlfriend out just as we were getting back together. She mentioned this at the time, didn't think anything of it. She dragged me along to the pub tonight for a society social, he's there. Now he couldn't look more out of place if he tried. Seriously. I know he's there because she is. Turns out he's been coming to her rescue quite a bit lately, she admitted that she made him dinner on Tuesday night in exchange for him fixing her computer.

She also said that when I'm busy and don't have as much time for her as I usually do, she likes the 'banta' that she has with her male mates. I made it clear that I appreciated her and that male friends in and of themselves weren't an issue, but that she needed to understand that simply telling them that they have no chance won't suddenly stop them wanting to jump her bones and that I wouldn't tolerate her using her male friends as a means of making me jealous.

So, the question I'm asking is: do I start a rumour that he smells and is gay?

[Igor]

So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time
I thought just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime
'Cause I have friends and that's a fact
Like Agnes, Agatha, Germaine, and Jacq

If my girlfriend used the word banter, I'd hand over her p45 instantly. Banta would be a p45 and a punch. Luckily my girlfriend doesn't even know the word banter.

On a more serious note, does your girlfriend have more male friends than female friends?

Nah, she has many more female friends than male friends, I think she just has a few hangers on that pine after her. She's just a little insecure at the moment after my strawberry float up so I think that she thinks she'll get my attention by giving this particular hanger on some tiny hope. gooseberry fool won't fly.

I used to know a guy like that at College.

He had this lame ass little mustache and would sometimes wear what I could only describe as this weird freaky String Vest thing.

He was pretty well built if a little podgy, and even though he would not stop going on about all his knives and guns he owned and stuff, the girls used to flock to him!

Last I heard, he went into the Army and then went proper off the rails. Apparently tried to run off (kidnap) some girl way younger than him or something. Don't know if he did anything to her but I know her Dad found him and the gooseberry fool hit the fan etc.

(disclaimer I only heard rumors about that incase you read this Ben)

Good, but strange times.

Did he grow up to become leader of Germany in the 30's and 40's?

[Poser]

Some bloke off interwebs offered me £80 if he could drink my pee.
I came here to seek the wise council of Grcade. Needless to say I immediately regretted it.

And Falsey, if you want I will. But we'll be going someplace...darker.

Hexx is on fire.

Woooo-ooooooaaaahhh, your Hexx is on fire, etc.

Shaun, are you really, really sure you don't smell? And I mean REALLY sure? Ask your mum. Ask your doctor. Be 100% sure, because you probably wouldn't be able to smell yourself.

In the mean time, shower in the morning instead of evening and use a good anti-perspirant and aftershave. It seems like a really strange rumour, because.. like.. people can just smell you, you know? If you didn't smell, people would know that.

As for the gay thing. I looked up some pics of the "90s Bon Jovi" you described yourself as... You don't wear a leather vest, do you?

I have a friend who dresses like a queer, we once went out for drinks and he was wearing a jacket, no shirt, and a leather tie. Just a leather strawberry floating tie over his naked chest. Women strawberry floating love him, but it's obvious that guys are going to call him gay.

Lol - I'm damn sure mate I shower or bath every night, maybe I should start using Lynx instead of Brute or something. If it were true in the first place I think I'd have got the message long before now..

When I say 90s Bon Jovi I mean the way I look, I've got longish dark hair about that length - not quite 80s long but well, 90s Bon Jovi. I generally like smart/casual. I tight fitting posh shirt, tucked into posh trousers with posh shoes and sunglasses. I've got a few different leather jackets and I like the whole 'cowboy' thing western look, i.e. I've got a black suede waistcoat to go with afformentioned dress and a black suede jacket with those cowboy type fringes on it.

Men probably do think I'm a nufter but the women seem to like it and I like that look, it's part of my rock and roll-self.

I don't wear eyeliner or any of that gooseberry fool but I have considered getting my ears pierced and trying eyeliner just out of curiosity on a night out or something. I don't do night clubs and things, I like live music at pubs and such so would probably go down well there going to see a rock band!

[Poser]

Well, I respect your individuality, but you must be able to see how that might draw the wrong sort of attention in a firmly working-class environment?

I personally like a smart waistcoat, or jeans-blazer-skinny tie combo, but there are bits of Newcastle where I know that would earn me a kicking.

You shouldn't have to change who you are and what you wear, but sometimes doing so is just being streetwise.

I'm imagining this guy:


Dressed as a cowboy. Gay as strawberry float. Also shower in the mornings.

[Albert]

You should shower in the mornings.

[Albert]

and post photos.

[Albert]

but mostly shower in the mornings.

My hair isn't that long. It's a little shorter than shoulder length I guess. It's also dark brown as opposed to black.
