They could have 2 women next to him and somehow make a "contact" to meet in the bathroom or somewhere else private with another man , just by "eye language". Even if they are sitting in different tables at a restaurant.
lmao because as a gay man this is so true! anything longer than a 5 second stare and we know what time it is! Most men are very uncomfortable with a silent stare from another man and women know this look because it's a sexual stare.
As for the whole manicure, pedicure, haircuts and clothes that doesn't necessarily mean your gay. Many men just like to look good and be well groomed! Hell Ozzy Osbourne wore make up as did Gene Simmons from KISS! gay? Some of you should go to a gay bar because a lot of them look like your father all conservative looking!

Even though we are no longer a couple we still keep in touch. I asked him about it once a while back and he became very defensive. I could be overanalyzing this but I don't know. I guess I'm trying to see if it's normal behavior or if you think that he's gay.
There are a bunch real guys who get manicures, pedicures and facials in 2009. Also hitting a women in the butt ain't new, some women actually like that. Although I don't do those manicures, pedicures and facials, some like it.

Your ex was probably in touch with his feminine side and probably got defensive because he felt judged, especially if he perceives your opinion of gays to be negative or stereotypical. k-fed
Exactly. And there's a whole category of gay men called "Bears" who don't do any of those things--they're the manly ones. My ex is one of those--it doesn't mean he was overly macho either but that he's stocky and hairy and doesn't do any overgrooming of himself. Some of the men I dated after he left had more feminine qualities than he ever did and were happy to admit it. Now maybe I just have a really bad gaydar though.

I had a guy friend in college I was not sure of...
The final clue was when he asked me to see how his
outfits for an upcoming trip looked. He had 4 "outfits"
layed out on a bed and wanted to know if they looked
good together...
He told me that same weekend...

Any guy who uses the word "outfit" to discuss what he's wearing is gay. Us straight guys will never ever ever use the term "outfit" when talking about our own clothes.

I just found out that a kid that spent a lot of time at my house growing up
is gay. I did not see it when he was high school age at all.
None of my boys knew either. Are there signs at high school age??

Sometimes. About 20 years ago we had one kid come out his senior year. His friends yawned and said, "Yeah, so what else is new?". Other times it's a surprise, especially with some girls who have really, really liked boys. I had one girl who decided she liked girls because, in her words, "I'm tired of getting pregnant and having abortions". Tried to figure that reasoning out and couldn't as several of us had been talking to her about birth control for years.

That's what stinks about gay bars. Too many gays try to compensate with the 'Who is more conservative looking' contests. It's a major turn off. I don't want my boyfriend to look like my Dad or my economics professor. Gag.
