I'm straight but I can sympathize, it's frustrating when people you're interested in confuse the heck out of you.

It's like how a lot of single women wear rings on their ring fingers nowadays. Confuses the heck out of me.

If his girlfriend has a beard that should be a good sign he's gay (and that the girlfriend is man)

I'd wager that some of them wear them to scare off potential suitors. And I'd wager some of them wear it because the universe wants to confuse (straight) dudes.
I should quote myself
from the Raves thread, and suggest that you edit that wonderful software to replace the word 'Poland' with 'West Russia' and 'Polish' with 'Russian spoken by ducks' and such other amusing comments.
I'd say he's very straight, I've seen such cases before. They somehow nail the hottest girls!
(sorry, just love that image
)Wished that was so easy...
You know, orthodox Christians wear the marriage ring at the right hand, not the left hand.
And Jews, Hindus, Muslims, etc. don't wear anything.
Sometimes multiculturalism sucks ^^.
The Italian girl in my language course probably has 2 rings at each finger. Yeah...now what...?

In my experience, girls who wear rings, but are not married...are usually bi-girls. And a lot of fun. My lez-friend agrees.

It's so confusing sometimes. Today I met my close friend's prom date, and he stood so close to me that I could see the pores between his eyes and our arms kept on touching. Maybe he wants the D, or maybe he's just autistic.
I have the same problem. I'll try to make it short. I was invited to an Easter event for Iraqi Christians by a woman who it turns out very blatantly was interested in dating me. This despite her obviously being at least 15 years older than me and showing up to the party wearing some bizarre leopard print outfit. Anyway age isn't a problem for me but the gender was wrong.
While at the event I met another guy who has given me some mixed signals that I may have misinterpreted. We went out tonight and he said he drank too much and didn't know if he could make it home and I live pretty close to the restaurant where we ate. We had just a small bottle of whiskey each so I think it's unlikely he was that wasted but then I'm a pretty frequent drinker so maybe I just have a higher tolerance. Still, I find it hard to believe a grown man could get drunk off of that and he had dinner too.
Anyway we went to my place and nothing happened and now he's sleeping in my spare bedroom. Maybe I was too demure.

Ages ago when my father was a handsome young chap, he got hit on by not only girls of all different races (a rather difficult feat for an Asian-American even today), but also guys of all different races apparently. Led to some rather awkward situations, like the time when my dad ended up at a gay bar with his best black friend at the time. It appears that my father inadvertently sent them mixed signals - according to my brother and gay cousin, who're better at these sort of things, my father can be rather effeminate/emotional/whatever at times, so... yeah. Maybe. I guess it also didn't help despite his popularity with the girls he sometimes had long periods of time where he didn't have a girlfriend or whatever... for some reason...

This is kinda a F His Life instead of a FML thing.
I made a bug fix some months ago. Since it involved some highly complex use cases, I l wrote my logic down in layman's terms to everyone in the team and emphasized that it may not necessarily cover all cases and must be carefully thoroughly QA'ed. Eventually it did pass through code review and QA and was shipped.
This week, some customer found a use case that was broken by the bug fix, which is not entirely unexpected.
Some idiot low-performing dev at my place decided to use this opportunity to impress the manager. While it's not unreasonable to mention it's my fault, he kept going around emphasizing my bug was causing issues and mentioned my name like 20 times loudly for everyone to hear.
To add to my annoyance, he IMed and summon me frequently requesting input on how to fix it. At one point, I requested the bug from him to get rid of his noise and he refused. Then I did the next best thing by telling him how I I would fix the bug (which is one easy line of code) and he also refused. He proclaimed that he wanted to fix all use cases properly and comprehensively.
Eventually, he got what he wanted and the manager got summoned and I got summoned again. He kept up with his rhetoric on doing a comprehensive fix and I took my sweet revenge on him by proposing he'd compile all possible combinations of usage parameters and write down the behaviour for each - That's a problem of at least 10 dimensions.
To make it sound much easier than it looks, I mentioned it's done commonly in academia and gave several suggestions on how to elegantly brute force a multidimensional task. Suffice to say, the manager liked that suggestion and handed that glorious task to my very surprised colleague.
Given that this guy is a low-performer with no background in multidimensional data analysis, I imagined it's a monumental thing for him to do. Last time I checked on his progress he made no formalization of his dimensions, wrote no scripts to automate his brute-forcing, and created no spreadsheets to help organize his endeavors. All I saw was one big ugly MS word table that looked completely disorganized and very far from complete. Good luck to him.
TL;DR: Co-worker wanted to impress the manager at my expense and it silently backfired on him.

So I've been so god damn emo since last Friday's events and it doesn't seem to go away at all.
Therefore I post this

Worth a listen people.
edit: actually kind of amusing to see people get confuddled by people being difficult to read cus that's my thing man.

I caught a really cute guy glancing in my direction multiple times today in a waiting room and I was /this/ close to walking up to him and starting a chat but askdfha;osehjfkasd;fjaks;df
Like, there's a 99.95% chance he's not interested. I know I have nothing to lose if I talk to him but it's just feels weird to just go up to someone and talking, I guess.
