    Overheard conversations in the supermarket

    I was wandering down a supermarket aisle the other day... stopping, looking, putting stuff in the trolley... and there was a couple doing the same. They were discussing a product and when he spoke I thought "he's gay... I wonder if she knows"

    It was a fleeting thing but I keep thinking about it. And the Forum is the only place I'd
    discuss it

    That's pretty good of you to pick up on that. I still don't think I can tell a woman is gay despite being extra sensitive about it.  I can certainly pick up on narcissism though with absolute accuracy.   

    Hope the couple you heard are monogamous and happy anyway.

    Me too Rob. 
    As for picking up on the  'gayness' of people....I think, because I'm a straightspouse, I'm more attuned. Also it seems that more people I deal with in my day...the barista who makes my coffee, the shop assistant I asked advice from, the supermarket checkout person, the news reporter on tv.....they all sound/come across as gay.

    But much of it (in New Zealand anyway) is still hush-hush....
