Well, given that apparently he and the people he was standing next to 
when he first saw me *all* concluded that I was gay without me even 
opening my mouth... Let me just say this: I think it was the hat. I 
don't wear that hat any more. Ever. :-S

Uh... why?

The two of them ran their own business together, going to stately homes 
and so forth, making and installing certains, draps, fancy bedding, etc. 
They even did some work for clients in America a few times. Obviously 
they're both retired *now*... But I'd be astounded if they actually 
bought those curtains or had somebody fit them when they've both been 
doing exactly that, in a professional capacity, for over a century 
between them.

  Maybe try to read what I wrote once again, keeping in mind that it was
humorous.

  Hey, nowadays it's not really a shame to be mistaken for a gay, even if
you aren't. I think they call it metrosexual or something like that.

I think yours is a four in hand (the one in the other picture, this one 
is plain rubbish). Why don't you try an oriental next time?

Sure. But it's kind of a problem if you actually *want* hextrosexual 
girls to hit on you... :-(

  Not that I knew anything about women, but as far as I understand, only
a minority (meaning less than 50%) of women want overtly masculine men,
and most want men who are more in touch with their feelings and who care
about their own looks.
