My wife is the Pied Piper of gay men. Wherever she goes...... they follow. Maybe it's the theater thing....maybe it's just who she is as a person or her great taste with decorating....but 99.97% of the gay men in Louisiana love them some Theresa.
Let me clarify that I am totally cool with that. I am a super hetero but not homophobic whatsoever. In fact, I prefer to hang out with some of them over my guy friends (you know what I mean). They are always fun and the life of a lot of our parties.
My Mom managed a cosmetology school for years so I was introduced to this lifestyle as a kid.....she broke it down for me early. I am a staunch Republican too.....so let's just break down some stereotypes while we're at it!
Theresa says that every girl needs a gay man in her life. Based on my experiences I would say this is probably true. Never have there been greater self-esteem builders for Theresa....they know how to get her head all swole up. They use words like ravishing, fabulous, stunning, spectacular and divine. It's three times worse now because of her weight loss. Aye carumba!
How and the hell am I suppose to top that?
I mean seriously, they come over and bring rare flowers, candles, gifts and such! I fuss at them in private about setting the bar so high! They totally fuck up the grading curve for me. They are compliment whores....and I tell them about it........and they promptly get worse.
I think I will just have to resign myself to it. The competition is just too tough.
Have a great Friday and weekend! It is Lent...so I fully expect all of you to fast, swear off alcohol, meditate, and stay close to home this weekend.
Or, you could just blow that off..... show up for the last Mass on Easter..... and you should be good.

Hi! I came over after posts by Theresa and Read intrigued me and I'm glad I did. It's nice to get the guys perspective!
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth Anne!
ReplyDeleteGay men are the BEST cheerleaders... there really is no competing. But you offer her something they won't, so buck up! :)
ReplyDeletewow..I never looked at things from that perspective :) I am sure you can think of skills you have that Theresa's friends do not have :)
ReplyDeletexxxooo
I am like your wife, they seem to find me no matter were I go! I love my gay guys though. they treat me right :) lol
ReplyDeleteI am sure that she loves your little gestures of love much more though :)
and you are a Republican! I knew I liked you! Have a great weekend and give my friend Theresa a great big smooch for me!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Gay Men are one thing, but a red blooded woman couldn't make it without her Studly Hetro Hubby. Trust me! You don't have to comptete.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog today and you freakin' crack me up! My hubby is not banded (yet - he's working on it) so you provide some much needed insight. I passed your link along so that he might find some company in his misery. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteHoney, you had me at "her great taste with decorating!" Ha, I love you!
ReplyDeleteA Non-homophobic Republican... Truly a rare breed.
ReplyDeleteseriously - i'm with the others in thinking that while they may win the praise-whore contests, I feel fairly confident you've got them beat in a few other contests where Theresa is concerned.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Every fag needs a hag and vice versa. I like Theresa for all the same reasons! Gilly told me I was too skinny to be a hag now! Good thing I still have my old gay friends...
