I mean theres nothing wrong with it but Tobys supossed to be pretty much a mans man but he comes off as effeminate with an effeminate voice. I was even reading people think the actor who plays Tobey seems gay. Its just odd that they have an effeminate man play the role of toby, I mean he comes across that way in the show when hes not supppossed to. Kind of reminds me in some old films i used to like they had an obviously effeminate gay man playing a tough guy role. Suspend disbelief i guess. Does everybody agree or disagree?

One time somebody online insulted Enrique Iglesias. They said "He's pretty, but looks like he'd cry if you hit him." That's how I feel about Toby, but I don't find him attractive.

I mean honestly I would prefer to spend time with effeminate/gay males than macho dudes (Im a heterosexual male so thats the extent of it) but youre saying you agree toby seems effeminate?

[–] dianabrook-12193 8 years ago

Yes, he is a little. Do you find Enrique Iglesias attractive? I do.

like ive said im a heterosexual male

Just because you're heterosexual doesn't mean you can't tell if someone of the same sex is attractive or not.

I wouldn't say effeminate but I think he comes off very sensitive which is not a bad thing at all. He's never been macho and has always had a soft side which I like about him.

He is playing in the film with James Franco about the murder of an older gay man that ran the porn company and he's the one in it showing off his butt and everything. It was a big gay story about what happened and him and Franco are the two stars

"It was a big gay story..." lol. Funny how you worded it.

I mean just because he bares it all in a gay themed movie doesn't necessarily mean he's gay.

I always thought his scenes with Spencer were cringeworthy. To me he pinged my Gaydar. But what do I know?

He seems sensitive and empathetic if that's what you mean. And definitely seems like the kind of guy who more easily befriends women than men. But so do Ezra and Caleb... Other than Jason have any of the love interests had any male friends aside from each other, whom they met through the girls(aside from that one time Aria met Ezra's "college friend" at some bar lol)

I don't think so. I think he's very manly, actually. He is just sensitive and has a lot happen to him.

He's the worst actor in the cast I've noticed.

I thought he was gay from season one. I always thought it would be a plot revelation since it was so obvious. But nope. Lucas is also clearly gay. And most likely Noel. I don't think I've ever seen a show with no gay male characters and yet so many gay male actors.

[–] IDream_ofJoaquin 8 years ago

Lol

[–] coolman5 8 years ago

Lucas seems a lot more manly to me than Toby
