One last look that can preserve the emotion, one thing she could hold on to. No more than that. Beyond which would be too much to deny, to pretend, to control.<br /><br />As to the definitions of machismo, it still is a matter of discretion. And preferences.<br /><br />An ideal is precisely that, and idea. The conception being a translation of the perfection we imagine. But to dwell on that ideal would be a detachment from reality.red the modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376633655401824493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652698555682594195.post-18788514148552303992010-09-05T12:37:11.294+08:002010-09-05T12:37:11.294+08:00Good point.

But I'm pretty sure somewhere out there, a straight guy just knows it looks better with certain outfits. lolcitybuoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750180276675423002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652698555682594195.post-57544904002633679142010-09-05T12:33:30.047+08:002010-09-05T12:33:30.047+08:00Nyl, my definition of ideal is something that I as...Nyl, my definition of ideal is something that I aspire but can't even reach. It's the limit to which my curve is asymptotic. HAHAHA. I'll explain more on different shapes/sizes/discrimination/labels in the next post.<br /><br />And as for David, think about it. What if David were gay? I think we find it difficult to dissociate our gender identity with the way it expresses itself physically. We're so caught up in associations and we have to assign causality. It's like -' ah, he has a gym body because gays are vain about their body'. Or, yeah 'he's really manly because he's in the closet and trying to pass off as straight'. I find this shit ridiculous. Can't someone be masculine simply because it is a physical ideal that they aspire to?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12962933976271627394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652698555682594195.post-65724920415846758502010-09-05T12:27:43.742+08:002010-09-05T12:27:43.742+08:00Orally, sige, tawanan mo lang ako!

My stand is that being campy is not necessarily an intrinsic of being gay. It's a personality type like any other and it just so happens that I can't stand too much of it. I'm introverted so dealing with too much energy can be tiring for me!

I only met you once but I don't think you're un-macho.<br /><br />This reminds me of a conversation I had with some gay friends. It's weird how gay people come in different shapes and sizes. The culture is born out of diversity and openness to differences. But then again, we have so much discrimination and too many labels. I don't know. I thought it was rather curious.<br /><br />And as for David, hmmm... now that you've mentioned it. lolcitybuoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750180276675423002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652698555682594195.post-48172484036022441502010-09-05T04:58:54.198+08:002010-09-05T04:58:54.198+08:00camp can be grating and this used to make me feel ...camp can be grating and this used to make me feel guilty because I'm gay and I thought that I had to accept all gays too- natawa naman ako ditobienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945554562159442241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652698555682594195.post-28280196264628590622010-09-04T21:21:20.520+08:002010-09-04T21:21:20.520+08:00"I'm so glad you're not a butterfly.&..."I'm so glad you're not a butterfly."<br /><br />I'd go crazy as well.
