Moment of Zen: Backwards Caps

By Joe

I’m not sure why I find guys with their caps on backwards to be sexy, but I suspect it’s because when I was in high school, all the cool guys always looked sexy with their caps worn like this. I’ll also admit that I was really cute looking back then when I wore my cap this way, at least that’s what I was told on more than one occasion. No pictures of that exist though.

About Joe

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

OK, the football player and the workman get my vote….something about the athlete and the working man shirtless that just seems natural, unposed, real. Of course the nice build on each is a plus. Hat backwards–yeah, the other way unless you’re playing baseball just seems too country for me.

You mean to tell me I have to start wearing my cap backwards just to get attention?

  He’ll, no. It’s just a look. Doubt that would get noticed as much as other things. Just sayin’…

For me, it was the sign of their willingness to reciprocate oral. If it was worn with the brim in front and then turned in conversation, it was the clue for mutual interest and soon finding a secluded place. 😏

  While I did not think of that back when I was in high school, I have to admit it did occur to me as I was scheduling this post. 😈
