    trying to get my head around this one

    He is a natty dresser, she isn't. They go to bar, gay couple sends over drink, he invites them to their table, gay couple hits on him, she gets pissed. And he blames the "being hit on" part of the incident on his wife for being an episode of "What Not to Wear"* waiting to happen. So, is he saying "if my wife looked better - more like she actually belonged with the fabulousness that is me and not like some schlubby "fag hag" or lesbian - icky gay guys wouldn't hit on me"?? Can't say I really buy that one. OR... is he saying "Am I gay - that scares me, don't know if I can handle it - definitely liked the gay guys hitting on me - but still need to hide behind my wife so maybe if she looked better, more like we were a 'believable' hetero couple, I could stay in the closet a little longer until I figure things out"?? That rings a bit truer.

    *Maybe LW should try to get his wife on "What Not to Wear" - it certainly would make for a very interesting show!!
