Two men grocery shopping together....
What would you think, if you saw two grown men grocery shopping together?? Just wondering.... Lol
Re: Two men grocery shopping together....
Lol, ya me too... Well, I asked because the other night I was working. I had asked my H to go to the store to pick a few things up. I guess his friend called and wanted to hang out. So they went grocery shopping together. I laughed when I found out, and went ahead and told him, I bet people thought you two were lovers... I was joking, being funny, because, I know he would have normally thought the same if he and I were out and saw that. Not a big deal of course but just an observation... He got sooooo upset with me about it... I mean, wtf..
I just wanted to see if I was being weird...
xo
Either way, I totally would have made the same joke to my husband, lol.
Chronically hilarious - you'll split your stitches!
I wrote a book! Bucket list CHECK!

My H and BIL pick up things from the store all the time...not once have I thought this was something worth thinking about, lol.
Lol he probably took it as you insulting his manhood. he'll get over it.
Would I think they were gay just because 2 grown men were in a grocery store together? That depends what they were buying, their behavior, etc. If two guys are walking right next to each other wheeling a cart full of "household" groceries then yes I probably would. But if they looked like macho guys then i'd be a tad confused. but i'd still question if they were gay.
Two straight guys can go into a grocery store together for multiple reasons. But for one thing men don't get carts unless they are A. grocery shopping or B. they need to get a lot of meat and beer and they can't fit it in their hands. Men shop different then women. They go in for one specific reason, get what they need and get out. Their not going to wander the store with a cart with their friend for no reason. they are on a mission. And generally you can tell a difference.
But there was one time my wife and I were at a water park with our friend, her boyfriend, and my friend's son who is biracial. My wife and our friend run off to the bathroom while her boyfriend who is Hatian and I, pale as they come, are in a tots wading pool holding little J's hands walking in circles. After about 15 minutes we started thinking people probably figured we were a gay interracial couple who adopted a biracial baby. Come to find out my wife and friend had come back to the wading area 10 minutes earlier and were enjoying the show...
When I first moved to the UK (from Western Canada - Edmonton) I hadn't had too much exposure to gay men. And I had been living in China where it was illegal to be gay for about 6 years - so my exposure was limited to the handful of gay men I had encountered or met in Edmonton or on TV.
So when I moved here I took up a room in a shared house (very common here) living with flatmates. One guy (who is now a really good friend of ours) was typical British. Posh accent, good dresser, shined his shoes, ironed, was a really good cook, drank wine....
After I'd been living there for a few months we were sat down watching TV when I asked him something really stupid - like why was it there was such a massive gay population in London. He was like what? How would I know? And I was like well, you're gay - so you might know?
He spit out his red wine all over his perfectly ironed dress shirt and was like WHAT???
I had assumed, based on a combination of complete idiocy and the bizarrely common occurrence 'back home' of gay men adopting a somewhat British accent and dress sense, that pretty much every British male I met in my first 3 months in London was gay.
Not as bad as when I asked my other (actually gay. I had no idea) British roommate if he didn't celebrate Thanksgiving because he was Jewish (he was not. Just British), but still.
I'm often shocked that I can function in public sometimes.

The sad thing is that "gay" is often very much still used/viewed as a negative.
I'm British. My brother often has had people assume he's gay. He answers them matter of factly, that he's British, and that its a common mistake! (He also says its too bad he's not gay, he would get laid more. Nice.)
