    "Act" gay??

    What do you mean by that??
    There are gays who are feminine and there are gays who are masculine. So I'm not sure what you mean by "act" gay.

      I just meant that metrosexuals may fall into some gay stereotypes.

      A metrosexual is a straight man who is "in touch with his feminine side". Perhaps that is a better definition.

The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

        Aw, come on Mr. Fun, you know exactly what people mean when they talk about acting gay. Of course there are exceptions that don't speak or act the stereotypical gay way but you have to reckon that we are quite a lot of people, heteros as well as gays, who can tell if somebody's gay or not.

            I see -- so you're talking about the stereotypical images.

            Yeah, as Monk said, SOME gays fall into this stereotype.

                Apparently, Howard Dean is a metrosexual. Although when he admitted to being one, I am not sure he knew what the word meant. LOL

                      asexuals are those who say they have transcended the physical need propably because they can't get any.
                      Metrosexuals...? Something to do with the subway...?

                        asexual doesn't mean they have renounced sex, asexual is someone who is just not sexually attracted to anyone.

                          yeah I think that is correct. I think I have heard of women who aren't interested in sex at all. Hillary Clinton is one of them.

                            Judging from the substractional "a" that preceeds the word I'd say they are well asexual, non sexual.

                                Yep any word which is preceeded by a substractional "a" opposes/negates the meaning of what follows. From ancient greek till now.
