    Hello.
    My name is Lex.

    ...

    In my few hours here, it seems I've already managed to upset some people but I guess that's my fault for not taking the "Arrogant" in the sites title to mind.

    With those few words, I leave you with one of my favorite Atheist quotes.;
    "There are two classes of men:
    intelligent men without religion,
    and religious men without intelligence."

    Ah, Grand Entrance thread, so you're new? Welcome to our dwindling forum!

    I actually haven't noticed. Are you sure?

    The Arrogant Atheist is a joke title. Nobody here would actually describe themselves that way.

    WELCOME! I have been here for years. If you never upset anyone, you are doing something wrong. But I must say, it was harder to upset people in the old days. Which really only says for me how horribly upsetting I can be.:)

    So, VFX hit on you, huh? I thought he was gay.

    If it makes you feel any better you might try imagining James Earl Jones saying "welcome" and it echoing through your house. That always helps me.:)

    Have an awesome time here. You might find some people on here can be a great support to you, even you do fight with them and vice versa. Friendship is not in the fighting it is in the freedom.

    There comes a point in your life when you realize who really matters, who never did, and who always will.

    You really don't understand why it would be horribly upsetting for a straight man to be mistaken for a gay man?

    I don't either, actually. I guess it's just not the kind of thing that I'm insecure about.

    I might be upset if someone genuinely told me that they think I'm stupid, or a terrible musician, but I don't really care if people think I'm gay, or straight or anything. But that might be because I have a general lack of interest in relationships or romance.

    Seriously? Are you that insecure? I'm quite straight as far as I know, but I always make jokes about it and wouldn't give two craps if someone called me gay.

    So it would seem. You got a problem with that? As a single man, it would be particularly discouraging to me if I found out I came across as gay to the people I regularly encountered. If you can't imagine the difficulties associated with such a misunderstanding... you must not be that interested in sex.

    Well, that depends. I'm interested in a RELATIONSHIP. And whaddaya know, women say they like the gay type better. I'm not saying that I intentionally try to act gay or anything, just that it wouldn't really bother me if I was perceived as such.

    Semi-off-topic. But today I realised that heterosexual sex on tv is offensive to me. It was as clear as day, and have been annoyed with it forever. As for the rest:

    MATT, just because a person is not into romance does not mean they are emotionless robots. Just because you have never experienced it does not mean you can not say anything about it or can not have an opinion about it. My two cents.

    norml, I honestly thought VFX was gay. And as you can read from my first sentence it could be more viewed as a compliment than not, even though I am aware that that is highly prejudice and based in nothing by myself to say so.

    Inferno, idk if if I personally would go for a "gay type guy", unless they were more of a neither or both orientation. If I am going for a guy to begin with though, there are so many complexities to it that I should be writing a book rather than a few sentences. Or it would just have to be dead simple, which is horrifyng to think about, too. Nevermind.


    I can not care about what people think about my preferences one way or the other, because it would give me no excuse not to care about what everything else they think about me. I am of a choice few who do not believe that someones preferences define their personality. In my case, I'd like to think it does not.

    I imagine that if someone looked at me and thought I was a boy I might be upset. In the beginning of my life everyone thought I was a boy. Probably that is why it would bother me, and well I like to think I am girly.

    If someone assumed I thought they were the shizzle just because I prefer their type, that would bother me as well. Does bother me. I am actually quite picky. Never mind. Again.


    Sorry to all I offended.

    I think I want to be an emotionless robot. Lately I've been having trouble coming to terms with my failure to understand how people work, and mortality and whatnot. It's a bit easier to trick myself into thinking that I don't care so I don't have to deal with the fact that I'm terrible at social interaction, and that I can't reasonably see myself ever succeeding in doing what my biological programming tells me I should want to do. But I'm having a hard time lately figuring out if that's the case, or if I actually don't care. I'm leaning towards the more pathetic one.

    I have lots of opinions about that stuff, don't worry. I actually end up dispensing (apparently good) advice to people about relationships (and other stuff) all the time. It's really easy to tell people which direction to go when you're watching the maze from a bird's eye view, which is why I can give advice.

    LOL. Haha.:) I have had this subconscious "yuck!" response, when I see all the make out scenes on tv. And subconsciously(seriously for forever) I would immediately respond(in my mind) with "why aren't those people making out with their own gender" type thing. It's hard to explain, because I am not all that wordy in my mind at that moment. Oh well. Like I said, you should forget it. It would be nice if I could explain it, it's complicated is all.:) Idk if you have ever seen the british show Lip Service. That kind of brought the realization home. It is so much easier to watch than for ex. "Sex in the City". It's not important. I just thought it was funny that it took me so long to recognize that subconscious mental behaviour.

    Okay, could someone please tell me how to spell the word "behaviour". My spell check does not like this version of it.
