Word Geek said...: I think there's a tragic-self-denial-closetcase - wannabe - metrosexual continuum. My boss is firmly entrenched at one end but sees himself as being at the other. I'll let you guess which way around...; April 9, 2009 at 2:49 AM

WhiteDwarfStar said...: Is "wannabe" meant as an insult? Because it certainly reads like one.; April 9, 2009 at 1:20 PM
Anonymous said...: I've never met a wannabe, although I am sure they are very interesting. Why would a straight man want to be involved with gay men?; April 9, 2009 at 2:31 PM

The result? My friend core is pretty much exclusively lesbian and gay men, with a few straight women thrown in the mix.; April 9, 2009 at 6:41 PM
