I agree. Its ridiculous.  Every time I see pictures of old school/college friends holding hands or putting their arms around each other or posing like a girl.. I so badly want to call them out.. but i don't want to ruin my relationship.. so I keep it to myself. Good post!

"Gayness" is relative to the culture. If so to say, in Nepal people (guys) sit on bike (motorcycle aka bhatbhate) on pillion driven by another guy, so are they all gay?? If yes then all our dads, uncles and friends must be gays. Well it's a matter of culture and sometimes it just needs some explanation to some white guy over here that gays are rare in nepali culture,,and that it's full of "bokas"

 @gwach... I am not accusing anybody of being gay. My friends are definitely not gay and I am not saying they are. All I am saying is they "Look" like they are gay.  I, myself probably held hands or hugged a guy when I was back in Nepal... and i absolutely didn't think anything of it. But now that I have been living in a different culture/society, I find it weird. Not saying it is bad.. but it looks gay! Don't you ever see a group picture of Nepali guys and think to yourself, "Geez.. they look so gay?" Tell me honestly. I know it is all about how you are brought up and what you are acustomed to....  Even some Europeans look gay with their tight jeans and t-shirts... so please dont leture me on culture and society and bla bla bla...

Well I still dont feel that way about any of my old pictures,,It was just what we felt was ok and friendly back then. Probably now i would not do it. It kind of reminds of an episode that one white chick at my former job told me one evening over a drink, that she was fondled (of course her breasts) by a guy there at work during the smoke break and that she thought it was ok because she knew that he was a gay. I was like WTF,,I told her I am a gay too,,I would like to do that too.. Now I cannot understand whether it is innocence of the western world or screwed ideas/ stereotypes about being gays. Back in my early days when I took pictures with my childhood friends, of course we did not know what being a gay was..although we were super bokas back then,,not missing a chance to pray on any hot chick..(of course not in any physical manner that would get us in trouble)

Bad Boy, You can't judge people in Nepal just like that. It is all about culture. Holding hand of another guy by a guy is considered as Taboo here in USA but it our culture back in Nepal. You can't say USA culture is 100% right and our culture is 100% wrong. By touching hand of a friend add more friendship and won't make you gay. Here is the statistics, USA or Europe ( where holding a guy's hand is considered as gay) have more depression than any other country in the world ( i am not sure but it is my rough estimate). If you ask me a question which culture is the best (nepal vs USA), then I would go for Nepal

ihateamerica · Aug 22, 2011 12:59 PM

For most part of it I would prefer nepali culture because of the close ties that the culture allows to develop between the kids and parents, between the cousins, and the friends. Only thing I did not like about Nepali culture that it was so difficult to hold hand and walk around with my girlfriend..Even after my family accepted her as their buhari,,I could sense the hostile attitude that people in restaurants and most of the public places displayed towards it.

Hand holding pics are in a class of it's own. I'm mostly talking about people posing by themselves for single photos in front of car, house, trees like they are super models. Posing in front of new cars is especially tacky.

May be they love looking like guy.... To be honest I dont mind dressing like a gay.... although I am a pure boka..... I think gay men are better dressed and they look after themselves better...... All bokas like gurdze looks.... unshaven for weeks.... badly done spikey hair.... low back jeans..... and tshirt that is double your body size...... dark colour theme clothing look at gay men.... they are always well shaven, dress fittingly, dressed in clean clothes, choose colourful attire.... WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?
