Aruba Observation #2:While my wife and I were at the beach, it was interesting to see a single straight guy try to strike up a conversation with another single straight guy in the water (without coming off gay). Single Straight Guy #1 (known as SSG #1) carried a football into the water and somehow started playing catch with Single Straight Guy #2 (known as SSG #2, whom I'm pretty sure had a wife somewhere).
It was sort of funny to hear the awkward small talk made between two straight guys in the water: things like "When did you arrive?", "Have you been downtown much?", "Ever go windsurfing?" They were straight to be sure, but the awkward banter (and fact that they were shirtless in the water while tossing a football to each other) seemed amusing to us in an ironic way.
