am i gay?

i am on a business trip for 9 days and i brought 6 pairs of shoes.

have i caught teh ghey? i brought two pair of dress shoes for my meetings next week. one pair of boots for the harley trip this weekend. sandals, running shoes, and pumas for going out. and that's less than 1/3 of the number of shoes i own.

so...just wondering if that's odd for a dude, gay or otherwise.

no you'd be gay if you bought a different set of shoes for each outfit and then cleaned them after each time you used them.

Yeah you must have gotten a good deal on shoes.

Nah... It's not an internet virus that you pick up or anything. Though, the presence of any other indicators might cause question. Namely, have you had the urge to have sex with another man recently? Cause, that's the big one.

6 pairs of shoes for practical uses is not gay, though it's a bit much for a 9 day trip. Like TofuNinja said, having 6 pairs of shoes because they match your outfit is gay.

a man should have 1 pair of sneakers, one pair of sandels, and one pair of dress shoes. Anything above that is gay.

For boots I think there is an exception if the store where you purchased them also sells firearms.

sounds shady to me.
i have 6 pairs in total.
Black formal dress shoes
brown semi-formal/work shoes
Pumas for night on the town
sandals
tennis shoes
b-ball shoes.

That is all.

Two pair of dress shoes: one black, one brown. Wearing one in place of the other makes you look like your mom still dresses you.
2 pair of sneakers: One for gym use only, the other for street
(I have a leftover pair that gets the yardwork since it frequently gets covered in dog poop.)
1 pair of sandals for public showers.
I don't think that's out of line.

BTW... usually if you have to ask yourself the question "Am I gay"... you've probably answered it already by most counts.

One pair of brown or black soft leather shoes for casual wear.

One pair of sneakers/athletic shoes for the gym and recreation (I never wear sneakers as plain old casual wear. Just not my personal style.)

One pair of high end basketball sneakers (Air Jordan's, to be precise), strictly for the basketball court to give me ankle support and knee security.

I wouldn't mind one pair of workboots or some other rugged footwear for out in the snow, hiking, etc. But currently don't own any.

Actually, this isn't entirely true. If I'm wearing shorts, I'll wear the sneakers with white socks cause shorts with leather shoes and socks look really dorky. But I wear shorts out in public maybe 5 or 6 times a year.
