Wow that pottery! *blush*

I don't think I have much of a gaydar myself, although I'm probably a little better than the average straight woman. Do you need to be a real-life fag hag to have a better one? LOL I just got into the "gay zone" on LiveJournal by chance and fitted right in. I've met few of my gay friends in person.

What I first thought of when I read the Minnesota sex study is that having casual sex is a self-selecting group. In other words, those that are psychologically prepared for casual sex and are therefore less likely to have deleterious psychological effects from casual sex are the most likely to have casual sex in the first place. Just a thought.

She: Don't you think sex without love is an empty experience?

He: Yeah, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best!

I still recall a Dame Edna show showing off people's houses.

One couple had a big reproduction of a Greek sexscene on the ceiling above the dining table. The audience panel later had to guess what kinda placemats(?) they had. The answer: mirrors.

I suck at interpersonal interactions &c. Apparently one of the guys I started uni with (many many many years ago) is gay. I only know because I happened to see him with another guy a coupla seats in front of me at the symphony some years ago.

More power to ya Jen! I'm in an exclusive contract with one at the moment. We even live together. It's great; sort of like a complication-free marriage, and we both get to date whomever we want. Anyway, you've got a fantastic blag. Keep it up!

Historically "fag hag" fit the more derogatory description you pointed out, though today a lot of women use it with pride. We're taking it back!

Kind of loving "fairy sprinkle" though, haha.

I just won't be satisfied until I can put those dishes on my wedding registry at Saks. We're still a couple of steps away.

Veritas, a fag hag is a women who enjoys the company of gay men. It's come to be a rather derogatory term to some, meaning more of an unattractive woman who enjoys the company of gay men because they give her the attention that straight men won't, which leads to awkward situations. I think a more fitting term, if appropriate to our hostess, would be "fairy sprinkle," which is more of a woman who just enjoys general fabulosity, but that doesn't translate well to any blog-oriented pun that I can think of.

Dan!, yes, my blog's name is a play on fag hag. I have a full explanation here: http://www.blaghag.com/2009/07/q-why-blag-hag.html

And BeamStalk, that's pretty much the simplest definition, sure. Veritas, poke around Wikipedia and Urban Dictionary when you're off work ;)

Veritas, it is a girl that hangs around with gay men, usually. Correct me if I am wrong, Jen.

This post is made of the win.

I just straight up don't get what "fag hag" actually is. Jen keeps doing this to me. I'm at work or I'd check Urban Dictionary.

whoa, is your blog title a play on "fag hag"? I never put that together before.

On #2, to each their own.

On #3, that's surprising to me. I have terrible gaydar. For example, I just figured out this week that one of my co-workers - one I see almost every day - is gay. I have been working at this place for nearly four months.
