A gay man who often emphasizes their knowledge, fashion sense, or social status, sometimes in a way that comes off as condescending or exclusive. They may be seen frequenting trendy spots, making subtle judgments about others, and projecting an air of superiority.
Jarrett walks into a cocktail bar and orders a gimlet, "Isn't this supposed to be made with Nolet's Reserve Dry Gin? I can't taste the blend of botanicals, you know, saffron and verebena. Also, I don't drink WELL gin."
"The pretentious gays at that event made me feel like I didn’t belong."

Get the Pretentious Gay mug.Somebody that pretends to love people they don't really love and support things they don't really hold sacred, from LGBT rights, feminism, mental illness, and other causes to spiritual causes, all to promote an extraverted, sociable image that is not really them. Someone that tells a broad audience of people that don't know them well that they are one way, when really they are another when nobody is around.
The pretentious girl was introverted when nobody was around, but tried to make herself look extroverted and fun when there was an audience of her suckers she was trying to play around, as they were a path to power for her.

Get the Pretentious mug.Someone who's not really friends with a group of people, but goes around like they've known the people their entire lives. Someone who tries to convince an unconvinced world that they're sharks and not minnows.
The pretentious girl walked around town with a group of people like they owned it, and she tried to convince other people they were her best friends.

Get the Pretentious mug.Someone who expects everyone to be friendly. Nobody owes it to anybody to be friendly or welcoming all the time, or to like/pretend to like every stranger they ever met. In life, if you make a few true friends, you have what some people pretend to have, and what many never get. Why would you need more than that? Why would you already like/love/trust somebody you never met, a stranger. Anybody who says they like/love/trust a stranger is pretending to like/love/trust a stranger.
Only a pretentious person would say they liked/loved/trusted someone they never met before/didn't know well. Someone who wanted everyone to assume they owed it to other people to like/love/trust everyone, including them.

Get the Pretentious mug.Someone that lives in a bubble of (false) boundless optimism and hope or a Disneyfied fantasy world all year except Christmas for some reason. Their instinct to defend themself and look grown up kicks in at Christmas (even if it seems negative to others), and all of a sudden they're not a kid anymore, they're a big boy/girl. Yet somehow, they're still trying to call someone else the scrooge even if they are the ones putting the most effort into sucking the life out of people and the holiday season around the holiday season.
The pretentious piece of shit sent kids to Christmas carol at the front doors of strangers not because she actually enjoyed Christmas carols herself, but just to fuck with people's heads. She was the kind of person that would use other people's kids to walk all over people for her, even during Christmas, then wondered why everybody seemed like Scrooge.
