Another Head Scratcher

[BristolCavendish]

Preface: Stopped by the jeweler/AD to pick up a pendant that Mrs. BC was having repaired. As readers/viewers of the TRF, we have all read accounts and/or seen posted pics of various Rolex models and some like the 'leopard Daytona' actually look better in real life than they do in various jpegs. In my particular case, I encountered a YM2 for the first time in 'real-life' and while it was a bit oversized for my tastes, the watch was absolutely stunning on its own accord.

Another customer at the AD happened to be wearing one while I was waiting for my wife's jewelry repair to be brought out and I just had to say, "Nice watch" to this particular wearer. He reluctantly acknowledged my casual compliment and a brief conversation arose. When I asked him if he was into sailing, he replied no and that he was a freelance writer. He then asked me what I did for a living and after I replied forest management, my curiosity piqued so I pursued the occupational topic a bit further and inquired as to whether he wrote blogs, books or worked for a publication.

He responded by saying that he wrote "romance novels" for men of a certain preference but quickly added that he himself was straight. After leaving the AD I thought to myself, while to each his/her own, is this possible?
