Yer Fave Gayz 4Ever Poll!

i totally forgot mister persnickety! :(((

if there were a chronic waiter who didn't match any other description, then him.

gotta go with "mister friendly"

but lolololol at "trucker/trucker-bait"

i'd also like to know more about "opera man"--is that literal? dude wants to listen to and talk about opera a lot?

"kinda looks like sting"

"dude wants to listen to and talk about opera a lot?"

I voted for "tweeked beyond repair" but probably should have voted for "scat attack"

where's "avid baseball fan"?

and "spielberg apologist"

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS ME. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS ALWAYS <b>ME</b>.

and where's "World's Greatest Dad"

(THE ME ALSO FORGETS ILX'S HTML ISSUES.)

Where is fopgoth artfag?

What, no "sweater vest"?

I pick "never pays for lunch" because I really do enjoy his stories and he is endlessly amusing, not to mention his eternal and fruitless quest to find a social location where he can have a smoke.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

i'm going for "old school locker room sniffer" because, well, someone has to

no andy warhol, no credibility

"recent immigrant w/family unafraid of honor-killing"

heehee! oh michael i wish there was a way to add yer list to mine. i confess i got a little sleepy and had to stop. and i totally forgot "zombie-like ken doll" as well.

you forgot my uncle: vitamin-chomping, young-friend cultivating, absent-gazing accountant

I accidentally posted on scott's thing without logging out. that's my vietnam-damaged, cryptic uncle.

I'd vote for "Well, he never married did he?" if he was there. As it is I went for older perfumed & loaded (and vaguely persian).

Oh come on, like anyone would vote for Yoga Man. Worst gay ever.

Depends on the tantric possibilities.

nobody can hold a finger to the most attractive black lady I've ever seen working at the drugstore whose nametag read "SEVEN" and well miss it's just too bad about those hands isn't it, and the voice, but you'll work on that.

Thanks to this thread, being gay is now cool.

This thread has set the gay rights movement back 510 years.

thank u a lot for this thread

"maker and distributor of fine art cards since 1972"

I can't believe I drew a blank and picked "always up for a movie" since I almost always hate everything everyone else has to say about movies.

I'm not really sure what to pick.

I voted for "dance factory"

this thread has set the gay rights movement ahead 510 years - to 2517.

Where is fopgoth artfag?

hanging out with fatbeard badshave?

i voted for santorum.jpg

(i prob wd have voted for that if it'd been an option)

I voted poetry fan because that reminded me of my old pal Bruce who I had such a crush on but in those days I had no gaydar.

trayce, his name was "bruce."

I know! :\ I was A-grade dense as a late teen.

Poetry fan, flowery scarf in pocket, Bauhaus tshirt, loved Oscar Wilde.

WHAT WAS I THINKING.

Lolololol

I wd marry Bruce

most gays I know are btwn 4 and 12 of these

I had no idea categorizing gays could be so much fun! If I had known I'd have done it ages ago :D I went with dance factory for purely selfish reasons.

Oh come on, like anyone would vote for Yoga Man. Worst gay ever.

Yoga man would suit me fine. As that isn't an option, I went for "lumberjack". I've never met one, but I'm assuming he'd have rough hands and smelly faintly of pine.

Aren't like 95% of Australian men named Bruce?

(I thought that was just a weird joke until I had to work on an collection of papers edited by an Australian named Bruce, and every other article was from, like, Bruce McAllister and Bruce Kinsey of the University of New South Wales, with additional research by Bruce Thompson and Brucetta Jones of the University of Adelaide.)

my dad's name is bruce.

Bruce Labs

best poll yet

what in fucking hell is this?

Is this gays that we, the gay people, are into

Where's "only friends with a fag hag with whom he watches Margaret Cho"?

older perfumed & loaded (and vaguely persian)

d'oh! I didn't see that option until after I already voted for the marines

Macedonian Farm Boy forever!

i scanned this list to see what i could vaguely classify myself as and got about four (but i'm not telling which ones)

God I hope I'm not a complainatron but I get the nasty feeling that I am.

drew is "experimental" (haircut) + gangsta (for realz)

ILX just keeps on educating.

Fancy pants!

I didn't see "All-American son of a GM factory worker" which is what I've got. so I picked "older perfumed & loaded (slightly sinister)". I've always had a thing for sexy Bond-like villans. but no Persians please. they have issues. also, isn't a young hairy bear called an "Otter"?

Ooh, this is worth de-lurking for. I nearly went for my soulmate "never pays for lunch (tells great stories)" - but hell, who needs the competition? So I went for the ever-obliging "always up" (aka My Friend Everard).

BTW, you missed "matching sweaters, commitment ceremony, dogs".

"matching sweaters, commitment ceremony, dogs".

haha these guys live down the street from me. They have a LOVELY little garden out front.

the four gay roommates i have had over the years could be described thusly:

mister high-strung like a cat

mister clinique

chronic waiter/mister friendly

artiste q. drunkalot (a.k.a. president of the lloyd cole appreciation society)

"All-American son of a GM factory worker"

Ha, for some reason this makes me think of Samual Delaney's book about the old Times Square. If you haven't read it, do. It will aid your voting choice.

Right now I'm leaning toward "I heart depression glass".

I think I have elements of all the following:

disco baller
gangsta (faux)
mister passive
always up for a movie
kinda looks like sting
too tight t-shirt
sexless workaholic
lives at piano bars
no taste whatsoever

So, I guess, most of all:

neuter/nullo

lives at piano bars

Oh, surely yer not quite there, E.

God I hope I'm not a complainatron but I get the nasty feeling that I am.

DD, all the fun gays are!

No, I think I only selected that one because I play piano and am going to see a friend sing lounge jazz tonight.

homo thug

alt. "on the down low"

ok, EH...

too tight t-shirt
sexless workaholic

but the center just will not hold there.

It's not my fault they make small T-shirts so small.

applied to myself (no particular order):

old school locker room sniffer
lumberjack
dance factory
always up
mirror-checker
classics scholar following Greek model

BTW, you missed "matching sweaters, commitment ceremony, dogs".

i used to work with these guys -- Chris, the fun one, always brought pastries! K__ was sort of boring, and got embarrassed when Chris would get a little drunk and "gay up."

Fuck those kinda gays! Power to the non-assimilationists!

i voted for dance factory...

"captain jean-luc picard
USS enterprise" x infinity

"matching sweaters, commitment ceremony, dogs".

I know dem! Live in Mahattan, one's a theater ticket broker, the other teaches at Duke and is named Bruce!

I am friends with that couple, except it's more like "matching codependent alcoholism, commitment ceremony, v. high-strung dog."

still love them, though.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

get those votes in, people

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

PIE CHART

Boy, how the crap am I suppose to remember which one I voted for? At least 40% of the options were SO, SO GREAT.

In conclusion, Andy Warhol was the ultimate gay.

ooh a three-way for first. how exciting!

mine tied for 2nd :D

revive!

The goal is to match each stereotype with an ILX Gay Person.

i which case Casuistry is our favourite!

macedonian farmboy and older perfumed & loaded (and vaguely persian) would be so cute together!

i forget what i voted for but if you asked me now it'd be a tossup between maker and distributor of fine art cards since 1972 and unfunny drag name.

and betty crocker

best options for a poll ever

xpost, your name is so aggressive is there something you want to talk about?

I am nostalgic for departed ILX pinup boy riverwolf.

never pays for lunch (tells great stories)

this is what i imagine surmounter is like, except he probably pays for lunch

:o

where's the "Jake Gyllenhaal" option?

surm definitely seems like the kind of dude who would pay for lunch

Jake Gyllenhaal - C or D?

lol i do pay for lunch! except sometimes my well-off girlfriends from like places with money pay for me

mister passive 0

:(

No votes for me. That's OK.

i wouldve voted for "All-American son of a GM factory worker"

best options for a poll ever

^^^this

fwiw, i'm an always up/complainatron hybrid.

this is one of my favorite polls in the history of ilx. revive again!

Yes!

these days I would vote for "experimental" (haircut)

revive prompted by me finding depression glass at a yard sale yesterday, fwiw

internet sadgay seeks macedonian farmboy w/ family unafraid of honor-killing

macedonian farmboy

Hmm.

i heart depression glass was certainly overlooked

63.

Why oh why didn't I add "teamster"?

this thread and the "stevie d t-shirt ideas" thread need to cross-pollinate

older&
perfumed&
loaded&
persian

mostly i am dying at the idea of a "catholic latino closet case with serious mother issues" shirt

So little has changed in 5 years.

I might have voted for macedonian farm boy, not sure, but poetry fan is way better than never pays for lunch or experimental (haircut), I've known both of those types, and it's not about you it's about them
