Assumptions

[oscarina]

Why do people assume that because two people of the same sex living together and enjoying life are gay or lesbian! Do you know any same sex couples that live together, do you supsect them of being gay etc! Or am I just being being naive !

"Whodear, medear, gaydear, nodear......"

[ChuckFickens]

Well all the "same sex couples that live together" I know are definitely gay

All the the same sex individuals that live together I know are straight.

why do you assume that people assume that? i don't

[ummmm]

Nor do I.....

[ummmm]

Although someone did presume that my cousin was my boyfriend because he lived with me...

[dothawkes31]

I don't understand the question

[snags]

Never assume: it makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'...

I don't assume either.

A few years ago I spent a lot of time with a female friend of mine, we would see each other most days and used to go to the gym together usually three times a week.

A few people questioned whether we were a couple, suspiciously enough all male haha and including one of my neighbours and my driving instructor at the time.

We did have suspicions at the time that especially the guys at the gym might have thought we were together and were tempted to get some tongue in cheek gym T Shirts printed up with "We are" on one and "not together on the other or something like that.

A year or so later I was at a local expo and ended up chatting to one of the guys who used to go to the gym and my friend had lusted after from across the treadmills.

He asked me where my partner was! I don't tend to go for the bodybuilder type of look but my friend does and I don't think it helped her pulling potential.

My driving instructor was slighly more blatent (we got on very well) and, when I confirmed we weren't he was keen to ask whether we had ever considered it etc... men lol :)

I also had a lot of people assume that a gay male friend of mine and I were together as we lived together, albeit as students at university doing the same degree course.

Things were slightly more complicated though. We started work at the same place on the same day during the uni holidays and, as he had not been out as gay for long I was kind of his "cover" (never stated but often assumed) until he was ready to let people know (similarly I was kind of a cover for his parents).

Strangely enough we were actually together for a whilewhen we first met before he realised/accepted that he was gay which was obviously pretty much the end of that.

We maintained a very good friendship though and lived either together or next door for the rest of uni and at one point at work he was effectively working with me as well as a male ex of his and his current boyfriend....oh those were the days!

I don't know any same sex people who live together unless they're related (mother/daughter, brothers etc). I did have a best friend who was a lesbian and everyone thought we were 'together' even though I was married, including friends and colleagues. We weren't.
