Oh yes...That's always at the top of my list...checking strangers wedding rings so I can ask about the wife....any better examples?

Wouldn't you just ask a stranger if they were married incase thier wife or husband had died or was seriously ill?

It was an example of making conversation with someone you don't know well. If you knew they were married, you would assume in a heterosexual relationship before otherwise.

But, yes, be pedantic. Always preferable to discussing the topic.

I wouldn't assume anything...is this a gay thing? Is it just gay people who assume anyone not gay instantly assumes other people are straight. ...in this day and age?

Rather narrow minded of you marsh if you don't mind me saying....I don't know about anyone else but these days I don't assume anything when it comes to people's sexuality.

Do you ever get bored of avoiding discussion and choosing to bait?

Do it elsewhere. Not interested.

That's not baiting...That's airing my honest opinion and how I deal with the example you set before me...


Don't ****ing ask next time if you can't see the answer when it's in front of you. .baiting...what a load of rubbish.
