5) What on earth are you wearing?
At this time of year some folk like to
experiment with their clothing and can
sometimes leave the house looking like a
tarted up Christmas tree. We all enjoy the
guy who wears the Rudolph jumper with a
bobble red nose on it, from afar. However
this isn’t going to get you many kisses under
the mistletoe. We are gay men. Fashion and
style is apparently in our DNA.
!
!
So before leaving the house just look in the
mirror and ask, ‘Would I shag that?’
