Oh yeah. The point.
I titled that last post "Mistaken Identity" because I was gonna share with y'all the following observation, about a crucial difference between NYC and San Anto:
In case you didn't already know this (and if you're not from San Antonio, you probably didn't), San Antonio is a heavily military town. We got an army base called Fort Sam Houston (pronounced like the city in TX, not the street in NYC), and three Air Force bases--Lackland, Brooks, and Randolph. This means we have lots of soldiers and airmen about the place. These gentlemen tend to be youthful, very buff, and sport very short hair-dos. They are also neatly dressed and groomed, though sometimes they have tattoos.
There is a similar-looking coterie of menfolk in New York City, specifically Chelsea. Usually these are not airmen or soldiers, but cute gay dudes.
This is confusing to me! Not in a deep existential way, you understand, but in a fast, first-glance-at-somebody-in-the-post-office kind of way. My brain undergoes a quick either-or.
Who'm I lookin' at here: Gym-Queen Top, or Staff Sergeant?

Just a little clarification . . . those buff dudes in Chelsea with the short hair are usually bottoms, not tops. As a general rule of thumb, the more ostentatiously butch the gay guy looks, the more likely it is for him to enjoy getting his knees pushed into his ears. Or in my experience, anyway. :)
Oh, citysqwirl, the things I learn from you. There's really only so uch one can know about gay culture from the outside. Ooh, I wonder if the majority of the gay men in the military are bottoms?
whoops, that was meant to read "there's only so MUCH one can know..."etc.
wait wait wait. how would someone from nyc say fort sam houston?
i need phonetics lady!
