tom webster Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I had no idea that Boitano wasn't already out. I got that text alert the same time I got the alert that the MIami game would be blacked out. Talk about non-news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 OTOH, not all men who figure skate are gay. Or who are not, you know, all manly and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 OTOH, not all men who figure skate are gay. Or who are not, you know, all manly and stuff. Figure skating for a straight male is jackpot city. Almost all the girls are cute, you are sent away to train months at a time, stranded with the same people, and most of the guys around you probably have no interest in the girls. Same probably goes for musical theatre. Forget Bauers....get your son a pair of figure skates and reap the benefits of free riding...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chileanseabass Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 OTOH, not all men who figure skate are gay. Or who are not, you know, all manly and stuff. Male figure skaters should start "coming out" if they're straight, since everyone assumes they're gay anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 My mum was quite the figure skater back in the day. Most those guys are gay. Her doubles partner however... was not. Lifts could be a bit uncomfortable, I gather. And she also bitched about this annoying little dude who would come in during practice, skate circles around everyone and knock people over. Turned out to be a young Scott Hamilton, olympic gold medalist and all around decent guy. Also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Figure skating for a straight male is jackpot city. Truer words were never spoken. One of my college roommates had a female friend from grammar and high school who was an aspiring Olympic trials figure skater -- a true sweetheart of a gal. We were in school in the Boston area, and the hometown friend forewent college (initially, anyway) to train full-time in the Boston area. And so began a golden era of peripheral and sporadic social interfacing with the world of competitive figure skaters. The girls were beautiful and eager to socialize with straight college guys (we had to mind our P's and Q's for those who were still 15, 16 years old, mind you), and the guys were campy and hilarious. Blessed were we -- so, so blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait...there are straight male figure skaters? I want to meet the straight guy that makes the life decision to dress in sequins and dance in figure skates.

If you are athletic enough to be a figure skater you wouldn't need your job title as an excuse to fondle hot teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if you're athletic you can chase them down and fondle them, but I think it's possible that they might let you do it. It's all about the ease of fondling hot teens.

Maybe you're a hockey player and due to a freak eye injury you can't play any more. (I'm rather ashamed I made that reference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
