The list of being a basic gay bitch is for fun and laugh only. Don’t take it seriously.

Surely, you have heard the term Basic Bitch. “She’s so basic,” I have heard this so many times. It is not something that women aspire to be. Lots of women have been using the phrase to insult others for a long time. Women calling others basic is the result of “…a male hierarchy of culture, and the belief that the self is an essentially surface-level formation,” according to New York Magazine’s Noreen Malone.

Many writers provide a list of examples to define the term: UGGs, Pumpkin spice lattes, yoga pants, #hashtag #every #single #thing and so on.

Interestingly, many gay men are into this term. Perhaps it is funny to call other gay men bitch, in some gay men perspective. But there is not much discussion on what is the gay male equivalent to the basic bitch.

The gay basic bitch does exist, but what makes a gay man bitchy?

(1) Watching Every Episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race

You would not miss any episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Maybe it is your dream to be on the show. Maybe you really like the glamorous drag queens over comedic queens. You just love the show.

And you can have a good conversation with other gay guys about this show.

(2) Your Smart Phones Shine Bright Like a Diamond

You need to replace your smart phones after partying hard. You drop your phone every weekend when you are wasted. The cracks on the phone is like a diamond.

(3) You love this playlist on Spotify

Yes you would like to follow this playlist.

(4) You love Sex and the City and argue with friends who is Samantha of the group

Sex and the City is a great and funny show. It went off the air many years ago. But, you still love to play the game.

Samantha is the character that you love most. She has never afraid to put herself first, especially when it comes to men. She is your example to follow because she never feels guilty for being selfish at times.

(5) Making these faces when you met a hot guy

When you meet a hot guy, you try to figure out whether he is straight or gay.

Once when you figure out this hot guy is straight, you have this reaction

In deep, you want this straight guy is secretly gay.

(6) You love women. You like either Lady Gaga, Madonna, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera or all of them

No, you do not like them only, but you love them. These women are fabulous. They have some attitude. The most importantly, these women are powerful. These women are divas. You worship them.

I admit that I love Beyonce and Madonna, too.

Beautiful. Fabulous.
They have some type of attitude, too.
Nevertheless, they are powerful and well-influenced.

(7) You enjoy weird conversation on Grindr

This one is not for everyone, but many gay guys like to do that. The weird conversation can definitely make your day.

I just choose the funny ones but not the NSFW ones.

(8) You like to take gym selfies

You must have done this before: taking a gym selfie after working out in the gym. You love to share it on Facebook or Instagram.

People who post about their diet, exercise or gym selfies are typically narcissists, according to this study. But you don’t care.

(9) You have a few (or many) pair of designer underwear

Underwear is one of the most important , among many other things gay guys love.

You don’t mind to spend money on the expensive and creative underwear. You wear it every day. You think the expensive underwear can support one of your best assets. You also love all the colourful, fancy and creative underwear. You own at least one pair from the brand Andrew Christian or Aussie Bum.

Yes, you just love them.

(10) Making a Big Deal Out of Being Into Sports, Especially Outdoor Sports

Don’t get it wrong. Playing sport is a healthy activity. There is nothing wrong of being a sport fan, too. However, if you keep reminding others how often you play sports, that would be boring.
