Been in the lift today and this guy has a chain clipped on his belt which have keys on and in his pocket.
He also has a blackberry holder clipped to his belt too.

Does any one else think that its a bit gay from guys to clip things to there belts?
Yes, very.

My wifes old assistant manager in Waterstones was one of those sorts.

Mobile, PDA, leatherman, Waterstones card/pass thing and keys all on belt clips.

I did once "turn gay" for the purposes of picking up women.

It was a dismal failure.
Try seeming less believable.

This is actually a problem. Ever tried to get two cell phones, wallet, pen, polo mints, shopping list etc. into trouser pockets? Dare I say I think the best solution is...<gulp>...a "manbag" (or satchel as they are more commonly known).
Combats/cargo trousers exist for a reason. Only problem now is I walk with a list.

It is almost (not quite) as bad as men who insist on carrying bulging wallets in back pockets, keys AND phones AND hankies AND anything else they can lay their hands on in their front trouser pockets... they end up looking like an ice cream cone with teeny little feet at the bottom (and a bit of sock).

Horrible.

Research by US psychologists suggests that 80 percent of men who are homophobic have secret homosexual feelings. This finding lends scientific support to the long-standing speculation that those who shout the loudest against homosexuality have something to hide.

Yes, it is gay.

It is common practice in the "gay community" to hang stuff off oneself as a means of sending out messages to other gays.

Left side means "I am a bummer".

Right side means "I am a bummee".


Or possibly vice versa.


They're ever so clever, the gays.

Always coming up with new ways to be gay.


You often see builders with stuff hanging off their belts.


All builders are gays.
rofl wait for the builders...........
Wearing stuff off your belt, when there is a good reason i.e. construction types, makes sense, looks normal, fits the bill etc...

It is when it becomes..... a fashionable thing to do, that things start looking odd !!

I wouldnt say it makes a guy look gay, but it does suggest a degree of nerdiness !!

You're even worse... you're an ice-cream cone trouser WITH belt accessories AND bluetooth.

Oh and a jaunty silver hat.

Unforgivable fashion faux pas.

I have a video ipod, and have it in a leather case. The reason been.... I have suit trousers on and a shirt with no pockets. Its too big to fit in my trouser pockets and I don't fancy holding it, standing up for 30 mins on the tube.

Its not the look I would choose, but there is not really another viable alternative frown

Is that what gay people do, clip stuff to their belts?

I don't even use a wallet. Wedge of cash with my maestro card tucked inside. Keys. Slim mobile phone. And that's it.

Interesting.

A phobia is an irrational fear, right?


I have never met a homophobe in my life.

If one were, say, afraid of being "surprise bummed" whilst pushing a trolley round Waitrose, then that might be "irrational".

But feeling revulsion at the thought of one chap putting his willy in another chap's bottom is not the same as an "irrational fear".


Plus anyway, have you ever actually seen a picture of a chap's bottom?

Christ, anyone would be frightened of one of those things.

clipping your mobile phone to your belt is like saying that nobody wants to have sex with you.

I've grabbed a couple of definitions for you:
"an uncontrollable and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity."
"Fear of particular object or situation."
