And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostGood post, and at this point we can infer beyond doubt that he's gay.
No straight guy gives two hoots or even notices how "nice" or otherwise a woman's clothes are (*), only how revealing
As always, the first and last rule of debugging is "Once you have sufficient relevant data, the reason for the problem becomes obvious".
(*) within reason - They might just about notice if a woman was wearing nothing but a large potato sack with holes for the arms. But that's as far as their powers of observation generally extend.
edit: In fairness, I should point out that there's an outside chance of a straight guy complementing a woman on her clothes, but only because he read somewhere that women like that. So he's either gay or an insincere flatterer.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Or email him from an anon address:
- Detail his unacceptable behaviour.
- Tell him to stop.
- Advise him that if he doesn't he will encounter a gentleman outside his residence who will take him to the ******* cleaners.Comment

You would have thought that working on a building site I would get this a lot, but it only tends to be the “old boys” who are not only sexist, but racist & homophobic too: so I don’t take it personally.
I agree with what others have said in that either be official & ask he stop & report when he does not, or go for the put down option,
& as a side note all the men here are straight & yet they have more conversations on moisturiser, waxing, threading & lip balm than I have ever heard.Growing old is mandatory

Gay men don't tend to have a problem telling women they are gay. They are more careful about telling blokes especially older blokes.
Also if they are the type of person who uses terms of endearment they use it with everyone and don't single one person out."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Either way they are suppose to cover you up decently."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
