Just a question,

Okay...before I ask this you should know that I’m new here and therefore don't know if this question has been posed before or not. If so I apologize.

I was watching Jerry Seinfield doing stand up comedy on TV and he made the following joke:
"As I see it, the only advantage to being gay is that if the guy your dating is the same size as you then you instantly double you're wardrobe."
Well I suppose you can guess where this is going. I cracked a smile then started thinking...'how exactly does that work? Not like, do people actually do that... more like, what are the correct manners for this situation, like the mechanics of it?'
Now I’m a young guy and I’ll admit that I’ve never actually been in that situation but I may be one day so please, humour me... if he is the same size do you share clothes...like how does that work?
I know it may sound like a strange question but I would just like to know.


Thanks,


--Pyro

Ok.... as for the mechanics of "clothes sharing" it is raqther simple.

If he is not wearing something you can. It is a matter of availability.

Now for the reality of the situation. Using your partners wardrobe is about the fastest way to end a relationship.



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

i disagree. I think it's perfectly fine to use your partner's wardrobe, and for them to use yours. But, as in all things, there is an etiquette, and what the etiquette is depends on how far along in the relationship the two of you are.

If you are just starting to see each other, always ask before wearing or borrowing anything. when you're done with it, launder it, fold it neatly and return it promptly. Or, if he has something you want to keep more long term, say a shirt that you like to sleep in because it reminds you of him, tell him so and tell him that it may be a longterm loan.

If you have just moved in together, the rules remain the same: ask before borrowing, launder and fold it when you're done and put it away--back in his closet, dresser, whatever.

If you've been together for a long time, there is every possibility that your wardrobes will merge, and each of you will have a few special things that you really love, and for those things, remain considerate. for the rest, just make sure that they get put in the laundry when you're done wearing them and take care of them all at the same time.

What Jerry didn't mention, of course, is that you will inevitably meet someone that you absolutely adore, and you will loathe the clothes they wear. You wouldn't be caught dead in the things he puts on his body! in this case, buy him all the things you like to wear and put them in his closet. This way you get browny points for giving presents, and you get a reserve of clothes you like to wear.

cheers!
