Fellas, is it gay to have a moderately tidy bedroom?
It’s entirely tidy, let’s be honest here.
I bet you any woman with half her shit together could find at least 5 things wrong with that picture, probably more.
Not a woman, I don’t think, but the main blanket/duvet thing is too lumpy to be hotel perfect. The frames on the walls are at seemingly random heights. The bedside lamps don’t match. The clock placement is terrible/an eyesore. And the black pillow should be in front of the two smaller pillows.
Perfect is the enemy of good
Is entirely tidy, gay-er than moderately tidy?
I mean, I would think so? If it’s moderately tidy you can still use the “best effort” excuse. If it’s super tidy you’re either a woman or a serial killer (or both I guess).
Precisely
If I’m being honest, it looks like a badly kept hotel room.
the clock stresses me out
I spent so many years in the army I am stil not really de-institutionalized. I made my bed every day as a student with bed spread as I didn’t want to dirty my bed clothes I’m case someone sat on the bed (small room). I still fold clothes for easy counting. I used to make my wife super angry when I complained about clutter “in the common rooms” as I always took my comic, book or whatever with me as I left the room.
Tbh I only ever got positive comments from the women I dated.
But what about the men you dated? 🙃
So many people have thought I was gay I went into introspection. Turns out I’m very straight.
I will say this in my bluntly antiquated way (47 man).
I kissed my buddy in high school because fuck it it was a dare. Didn’t like it it’s fucking weird. I wear pink. Love pink. I’ve painted my nails, dyed my hair, wore a dress before. I do all that because I know I’m straight. It’s hilarious watching less secure people do juggling exercises in their heads when I know I’m going home and I’m fucking chicks.
My current gf is far more conservative than I am so I’ve toned down a lot but my joke has always been my grandma thought I was gay and asked my cousin once. He told her I’m not because he’s walked in on me so many times having sex with girls lol.
Moral of the story, don’t give a fuck what people think. Do you and if doing you is being gay then be fucking gay. Own it. Trust people like me will have your back if some dickhead pushes back.
I’m with John Waters. We need to bring perverts back into fashion.
This sort of thinking is what made me realize that early gay figures (e.g. think the extremes of San Francisco and the like) were straight-up punk rock. “You don’t like us and want to harm us? Check it out, I’m walking my partner on a leash and we’re not wearing pants. Go fuck yourself.” That perspective really morphed my view into a real respect.
Dude, same.
I don’t wear much pink, but I paint my nails, I color my beard non-standard colors (I look great in purple).
Completely straight, never once had an interest in the same gender. I often accompany friends to drag shows and gay bars and I have a blast.
If it helps narrow minded people understand just say that pink used to be considered the man’s color and baby blue was actually for girls before WW2. It’s fun to watch them realize colors have no gender.
I was with you to the last line, but who’s John Waters?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Waters
Legendary artist / filmmaker. His movies are not for everyone and can be tough watches at points but also hilarious and with some great characters.
Him, Luigi, and the Wire are the gifts Baltimore has bestowed on the states.
He’s a gay writer/filmmaker… has produced some real trashy stuff lol.
Delightfully trashy
Yeah, it’s usually just a compliment. Some things that implied I was gay were having gay friends, smiling, being friendly and not always having sex-seeking behavior with girls. Probably also that I don’t have traditionally male hobbies like football and I’m also a good listener. Then there’s the fact that I grew up in an all female household and I’m up for listening to matters of the heart.
Rest I’m pretty much a stereotype guy, I go to the gym, mediocre hygiene and dress like I have no sense of style. I’ve had some girls even say “I first thought you were gay but in reality you’re really straight”. Probably my love of having sex with girls gave it away finally.
I’m 54, thin and wear women’s clothes all the time. My wife balked at me getting a couple of white linen blouses at the thrift, then she saw me in one at the beach. Hubba hubba.
I’m my late teens and early twenties, I had several occurrences of gay guys hitting on me, to the point where I started to worry that there was something about me. It seems funny to me now, but I really did have a period of wondering if I could be and was just repressing it because of my Catholic upbringing. But ultimately I realized that I just didn’t find guys attractive at all, and even the thought of kissing a guy was kind of a boner killer. So I get what you’re saying, even though on the surface it sounds funny to say you wondered if you could be gay.
Sometime later I ended up with a couple of close gay friends, and I mentioned it to them. They said it was probably because I put out a very non-judgemental vibe and didn’t seem like a homophobe, so it probably didn’t seem risky to hit on me.
my dad still thinks I’m gay, and I’ve introduced him to previous gfs
Idk how little pics of meme would help but ok
So many people have thought I was gay I went into introspection. Turns out I’m very trans.
im gay but not in the way anyone thought
For some reason lots of women think I’m gay too, even when I had a woman friend wingman for me. I’m self sufficient, reasonably clean, I dress nice (with help), and honestly a bit odd so I suppose that’s why they’d think that. Just like you though, I’m quite straight
They weren’t calling ya gay because you dress nice and take care of yourself, it was that cock in yer ass
Ah, I thought they wouldn’t be able to notice through my pants >.< next time I won’t wear something so tight!
Not pictured: The giant crate full of dildo’s, furry costumes and assorted fetish gear under the bed.
It is pictured, just not visible
Theres three naked dudes under that bed you just know it.
is that a euphemism for something homoerotic?
They all said no homo bro, so it can’t be homo, bro
Bisexual pride!
Bedside lamps don’t match, not gay
My wife and I have carpets next to our sides. She did not want them to mismatch :(
Sorry dude your wife is gay
Looks like the kind of guy that actually puts his drugs away when not using them.
Not to be trusted.
What is the second picture?
A 10 inch butt plug
Not gay, I just fear the idea of being around another human. I am incapable of romance.
It’s easy. Just pretend everyone is a cat.
“Hey don’t worry about shitting in the closet; I’ll scoop it up later.”
As an awkard person I’ll admit that it would reassure me somewhat. I mean, I wasn’t going to but I’m glad it’s an option. It’s like feeling being accepted despite messing up before potentially messing up, which allows us to skip that dreadful moment between messing up and being either forgiven or despised. And come on, imagine shitting in a closet by, uh, mistake, and not fully expecting that your entire social live is now in ruins and you need to delete all of your social media and move to different country. It could be worded better, sure, but it’s a neat gesture.

“Hey, the closet shitter is here! Man, remember that time you shit in my closet?”
I had a flatmate once the sleep walked and pissed in the hall closet once.
We called them ‘Pisscloset’ from that day forth.
dissociates
I think the cops would show up if I just randomly give a stranger head pats after allowing them smell my finger.
Can I have some pats please
If you just wanna squeeze it for a while that’s good too
Hey some people pay good money for that kind of service
Found the cat.
That’s fair, humans suck.
Source, I’m human and I suck (not literally).
This looks so much like a hotel room
Silly silly bedroom lol. Malelivingspace is the malefashionadvice for chubby reddit boys. Everything plain, soulless, and inoffensive. No character whatsoever, just “stick to the template,” Eames lounges and brasilia credenzas galore. The only place online where “what color KALLAX should I get to match my 670?” is asked as a serious question and will get many strongly opinionated replies.
Live a little in your living space. I think even basic.space gives better homespherebuilding advice than that sub
I legit thought the picture was of a hotel room at first
I was looking for some reddit-tier joke of a big dildo under the bed or something
I just don’t get the idea of separating living spaces by gender in the first place.
Here I’m used to it being “TV on the floor in front of a recliner in an otherwise unfurnished apartment” kind of thing.
That reminds me of the Lemmy post with the unfinished living room and the turkey.
Edit: Found it
Does my office/workshop/gym/bedroom look okay guys?
The “women just can’t handle how little it takes to make men happy” genre of shitposting.
Edit: I once saw it phrased as “A shut-in with with one chair, a ps4 and the clothes he’s worn since high school might be the most energy efficient of us all” and I struggle to argue with that.

I used to visit that sub a lot about ten years ago. It looks like it hasn’t changed a bit in that time - it even still has the same little fit drawings on the top bar. Has male fashion somehow frozen?
All the content creators on MFA dipped after the api drama, all that’s left on that sub is reposts. Many of the userbase moved to their discord
I wish it hadn’t changed, it’s gotten much worse, as has much of Reddit. Like the other guy said, all the mods on MFA left last year and took the core community to Discord (apparently, I don’t use Discord though). What’s left is just middle schoolers and bot accounts.
Interestingly I did hop back on Reddit a few days ago on a little check-in and saw this post on MFA. Might’ve been the subconscious reason I name dropped it above in the first place.
OK, now I wanna see the second pic. Cause that boy has a lovely bedroom. I would be very happy to get my ass destroyed in.
But I need to see a second pic, to see if he has a nice bedroom.
What? I have standards.
Nah just another part of the room
Lovely bedroom and you’re humble.
You’re welcome to send me a private message ;)
But seriously, having a sense of taste for the interior of one’s home does not make a person gay— it means you’re an adult with good taste. It does, however, run the risk of classifying you as “fabulous.”
I wish this is my bedroom…
That’s not my bedroom that’s just the second picture from the Reddit post.
But now I’m kind of curious I might dig through the op’s profile in search of a picture of their bathroom lol.
lol, no shade. If you find the bathroom pics, please post them! Lol.

“I’ve had loads of gay experiences. I’ve seen a pair of shoes and said, I have to have them! I’ve described a cake as ‘to die for’. But I’ve never had the gay experience of having another man’s cock in my mouth and/or bum. And I think that really is the one that counts.”

Jesus Christ. For future reference for everyone else, don’t threaten to murder other users. Kthx.
No cuck chair? Fake and gay.
That shoe rack next to the door will prevent it from opening more than a crack, and it annoys me.
That’s because he does not want people opening the door to the sex closet.
Those damn “form over function” people…
Anyway that’s my excuse for lack of home decoration sense: it’s all function-first. Yeah. Totally that.
This is much nicer than the view of the bed. I hate those little prison / kitchen windows over the bed.
Plot twist: girlfriend is trans but in the closet so bedroom guy really is gay.
I need to know if they have books! If you go home with someone and they don’t have books, don’t fuck ‘em!
I’m a proponent of literacy, by any means necessary.
This seems like the thread to ask. I am wiring up a two-way switch so that a person on either side of my bed can turn the bedside light on or off without having to roll over to the side that the light is on. Is… Is that gay?
It is gay, yes, but since you’re doing electrical work it’s pretty butch. I’d say it makes you more lesbian than anything else. If you get some smart plugs to put them lamps on you can set them for voiced activation and regain some heterosexuality (but only the nerdy, techy kind that comes with big Reddit Mod energy).
If you want to be back into Normal Straight Bro territory you have to make the voice command for the lamps the sound of you railing a chick. It’s the only way to square things up. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules, and homo math can be very complicated.
I would honestly say that the smart plugs and general electrical work pretty much go hand in hand. All my very much heterosexual male acquaintances that are electricians love smart plugs. Smart plugs everywhere. Going to their homes is like coming to an experimental museum of “how can I just barely make this building up to code while nothing fucking works”.
Honest to God, I love my smart plugs. Starting using them because my mom is bed bound, and can’t get up to turn off lights and such… Eventually just put everydamnthing on one. It’s just so fucking convenient… When the power doesn’t go out (lots of brownouts here) and knock the Internet out.
It has to be three-way in order to not be gay sorry
It’s funny because it’s true (@ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works really does need 3-way switches for his application).
The naming is not consistent. As Wikipedia puts it,
This article follows usage in the United States. Readers in most other countries should read “two-way” or “SPDT” for the United States “three-way”; and “intermediate”, “crossover” or “DPDT” switch for the United States “four-way”.
The switches I’m using are marked with cute “ON/ON” labels which I suppose could be a metaphor for something.
If you rock it up to a switch, then as the wiring diagram shows: (N)ot gonna (L)ie, (MCB) My Curious Bro, a 3 way gang-bang is pretty gay.
Edit: on an unrelated note, if the neutral wire comes from the light rose and not the switch itself as shown above then you’re gonna need a switch that handles live wires only. In the UK a lot of the newer houses now have the neutral wire in the switch, but before then many UK houses were very gay with the wiring.
Well, if there’s only 2 switches then 2x 2-way is enough. Otherwise, it’s (n-2)x 3-way switches plus 2x 2-way.
Not if you say “no homo” every time you flip the switch
Lightstrip behind the headboard. Wireless switch in the middle. Problem solved, no homosexuality involved.
Only if you don’t have a socket with Type-As built in
