do you know any heterosexual guys that complain there are germs?

well.... i thought school cafeteria has janitors that at least spray chemicals on the tables and wipe them....

maybe he's a germophobe?

you should tell him that his mouth and his digestive system have (good) germs too

 

yes. straight people (shocker) can care about hygiene.

 

Complaining about germs does not make you gay. There is no correlation, and even if there was one, correlation does not imply cause-and-effect.

He could be gay, sure. But I wouldn't read into this too deeply. And I have not known anyone, heterosexual or otherwise, who's complained about germs before, but that doesn't mean anything at all.

EDIT: Even if this is the first time you've seen him complain about it, it does not necessarily mean anything. Perhaps he saw a documentary or something about germs. Perhaps it was an exceedingly random comment.

There could have been many possible catalysts for his behaviour. We may never know...

 

He could be. But complaining about germs isn't really relevant to whether or not he is. Maybe you're just getting your hopes up.

 

lol nothing is that black and white...

So, yes, straight people can care about germs. They can even have OCD.

 

I know plenty of straight guys who are deathly afraid of germs... Didn't know the fear of germs was exclusive to gay men.

 

you're reading people's sexuality too close

 

there probaly are some out there who knows. i carry pocket hand sanitizer around does that make me a germ freak?

 

Not necessarily. I used to do that, too. It just means you're currently inclined towards being more clean, and are willing to take steps to ensure that for your own peace of mind.

 

NO WAY!!!!

and i have to put this text here to stop everything from being lowercase.

 

I don't know what's with hand sansitizer when you can just go to bathroom and rub away the pathogens from your skins

 

I had a brother who was borderline hypochondriac.

It's too bad we haven't progressed as a society past the point where a man can care about hygiene without having his masculinity or sexual orientation come into question. That said, it sounds like wishful thinking on your part.

 

I'm not particularly overly worried about germs; does that make me straight?

 

we do...
it's something to do with hygiene and being healthy and not get diseased?

 

I think it is OCD, since I'm the same way, just not so severe: getting weirded out eating food prepared by strangers, refusing to use the same utensils right after someone else just got done using them, washing my hands immediately after touching door handles or public keyboards... to name a few.

 

My younger brother is really afraid of germs, and he's straight. I remember when we were little he used to hate to get dirty. I would be the one running around outside getting all sweaty, playing in the mud and catching bugs, and he would just cry if he got any dirt under his nails. Even now he still won't eat food off of anyone else's plate, even our mom's.

 

My mentor is a germaphobe. He goes through an obscene amount of hand sanitizer and Lysol at the office. Like... a lot. And he's definitely straight, and also a body-builder.
