Nope, I ain't gay and my GADAR is real weak so here's my question ... if a guy is well settled (earns around $100K, has a house, a car etc.) and is in this 30s ... doesn't have a girlfriend and has never mentioned having one from the past ... is he gay ? -- moved at 15:29 Tuesday 5th December, 2006
No, it doesn't mean that at all. It could mean a myriad of things. There's really no way of knowing, without asking ? And, I don't see any reason to ask. MAybe he's just had no luck with the ladies ( and would be upset by the question, if you asked it ).

ROTFL. Does he know all of this ?
Oh yeah. I didn't tell him for a few years, but he got a laugh out of it. Actually, I asked him the other day if they asked for his Man Card back. Can't remember what girly thing he was doing. Part of my stand up routine is about how I'm basically a guy (I love Home Depot. I'm always looking at saws and thinking, 'I bet I can find SOMETHING to cut') and he's basically a girl. Where I live after a snow storm all the men get up early to snowblow the driveway and sidewalks. I always did this and the neighbors made fun of my husband. So a couple of winters ago he decides he's going to take the responsibility. I just smiled. After 10 minutes (and no sound of the blower) he came in and said he couldn't start it. I asked if he primed the engine. He responded, "What's that?" Anyhow, I noticed that it seemed to take a really long time for him to complete the driveway (which was very long since our garage was detached). The second year he came running in and said, "I just found out that if you turn that crank the snow goes in the other direction!!" I said, "You just NOW discovered this? Why didn't you use it before?" Response: "I didn't know what it was--thought something might blow up so I didn't touch it." He kept backtracking and going over the same areas over and over because he didn't know to turn the crank.

Oh, man, I SO relate to this. When in Texas last, I was horrified that my mate didn't own a saw. I made him buy one and showed him how to repair his deck, which was warped because it was nailed instead of screwed.

Yep, you're definately the guy in that relationship.....

I have to admit, after years of her bitching about my driving, Donna does all the driving when we're together. I get a few comments, but like I care. Screw them. I'm the one who doesn't have to drive :-)

If we go on long trips usually one of us drives one way, then switch going home. The exception is when we go to the Twin Cities. Driving there totally freaks me out so I drive the entire "rural" part of the journy both ways which was about 5 hours. Not sure how long the trip will be from our new home. My husband used to make fun of me and that I have "no sense of direction" which is totally false. I have bad night vision so sometimes I get confused at night, but very seldom. Anyhow, since we moved to a place where none of the roads are at 90 degree angles (due to the rivers and lakes) it has totally thrown him off. We went to go for dinner the other night and he missed the exit. Doesn't matter how many times we go to the mall, he always asks, "Is this the exit?" So I do the majority of driving in Sioux City.

My wife frequently claims i don't pay attention while driving (true), and get lost easily because of it (false). Unless i'm in a hurry to get somewhere, i'll just keep taking likely routes 'till i've built a mental map of the area. After that, i don't get lost. On the other hand, her obsessive focus on everything around her not only keeps her out of accidents, but allows her to weave through traffic at a speed and in a fashion that can only be described as "gut wrenching". I let her drive when ever possible, but then spend most of the trip with a white-knuckled grip on the ceiling strap, eyes tightly shut, praying for a quick death...

Spend two days driving in Denver. You will then enjoy driving in the 'Cities. Trust me on this.

Read my post closely ... especially the first line. The reason I am asking is because it sometimes gets awkard during smalltalk ... and I don't want to offend him in anyway. I am married and with a kid ... now if I tell him "Someday you will have kids" ... that might not be appropriate.
I know a woman (ex-)married with children who took 40 years to find out she's gay... Seriously: I'm 33, single, most of my friends know nothing of my "escapades", and I'm so not gay. (Just an unhealthy addiction to loco women)

I've driven in Denver - it's not too bad. The only thing about driving in Denver that freaked me out was when I asked at the car hire place if they could explain a 4-way stop sign to me (as we don't have that concept) they said "Who ever arrives at the junction first gets to go first". So I reply "So what if two people arrive at the same time?" And the response from the woman with the most dead pan straight face I've ever seen (not a hint of humour) said "Who ever has the largest gun rack has the right of way". I don't even know what a gun rack looks like!

I know a few like that. I suppose it's cynical, but i can't help but wonder if they didn't just get tired of being beaten finally. If so, it's unfortunate, as their tastes in women are every bit as bad as their tastes in men... :sigh:

I guess it's all what you're used to. I have a hard time tolerating congestion; spending an hour in traffic and barely traveling ten miles is not my idea of a relaxing afternoon. That said, i haven't been up there since they finished work on widening the north-south highway... i suppose it might have improved. :rolleyes: BTW - you're supposed to yield left at 4-way stops. Of course, you should use some common sense... ;)

Either that or deep down he's a trekkie and too damn scared to get a date so he's content with working and whacking off to comics.

OMG! I really laughed at your response. Technical answer, whomever is to the right goes first. A gun rack is usually at the back of a cab of a pickup (also called uke in Australia...not sure about GB). It basically looks like shelving without the shelves. Usually they hold three rifles/shotguns.

Reading comics is no indicator of being gay. My husband is a HUGE comic fan (he only needs about 5 comics to complete the ENTIRE X-Men collection). But he's more Star Wars than Star Trek, as am I.

I didn't say it was. I was saying that he may not get out much, and that's why he doesn't have a woman. Of course, I see the idiot one voters didn't waste time either. :laugh:

To actually answer the question, the rule is whoever is to the right (ie, counter-clockwise) has the right of way. Sad to think how many people over here don't know this however when they plainly teach it in driver's ed.
