I love gloves, scarves, beanies and jackets. And hot beverages, and cold wind, everything about cold weather, really. That's why I'm not really a beach person, I enjoy it enough on vacations but I'd hate living in such hot places.

Holy shit, LMAO. So cute that you're keeping track of my posting stats <3

But seriously, you should have done a better job at stalking me, I've posted music recommendations in this thread and it's nothing like 1D. In fact, 1D it's the only pop music I've listened to in years, because as I've said, pop is not my thing. Really, look at what I posted here some months ago, I even feel kind of bad that the only "alt rock" you like is something like Coldplay or The Killers.

Listen gurl, there's no need to be so salty. Learn to take a joke. <3
 
Seems to be unique for Belgium then. Most gay guys I've met love Scandinavia.

I really prefer hot weather though. All the good memories I have are from being outside in the sun. Even when I have a bad day, I can make the best of it if the weather is good.
 
I have like a winter/winter clothing fetish. Stripping off extra layers, chilled skin, winter desolation and quiet/solitude (and thus intimacy), so hot.
 
I prefer cold weather based solely on the fact that if I'm cold I can just keep adding layers (or friction). If I'm hot I can just wallow in anguish as I wait for death to take me.

A warm body outside a bunch of layers is appealing. It's like crawling into an already warm bed.

They both have things going for them. But chillier temperatures are invigorating (though not exactly comfortable they're stimulating in a different way), and if someone's flesh is cold you can help warm them up :) And when it's always dark and quiet out and you spend most of your days staying in, you can feel like you're the only two people in the world which is really romantic.

Sign me to the warm weather group. I prefer late spring/early summer over any other season.

Ideally give me spring though. Just a chill in the air, but warm enough things are growing - I like that.
 
As much as I detested this last summer, I must say commuting in the morning trains w/ fellas taking off their collared shirts and wearing dress pants w/ a white tee/wife beaters so they're not sweaty....

Mmmm.

Speaking of warm weather outfits, I'm a big fan of seeing dudes in public wearing wife beaters and sweatpants. Nnnggg, stuff jiggles.

If you honestly think that no good music has been released in the past 10, hell, even 5 years, then your taste in music is, frankly, misguided and completely wrong. I say that as nicely as possible. I'm not even talking about just EDM or pop or rock music. There is so so so so much good music even beyond those genres.

edit: cold weather can eat shit. why the fuck am i still living in chicago. give me summer.
 
Help GayGaf,

I am going to NYC and DC for the first time ever tomorrow. Our big party night is friday, and we can still go out for a bit saturday night as well. Where should I go for fun gay party spots?

I land in NYC tomorrow, staying in the UES, then headed to DC sunday morning for the Presidential Inauguration.

Most of the fun gay bars imo are either in Hell's Kitchen, East Village/Williamsburg and a few in Chelsea-ish area.
A fun circuit to do is start in Chelsea, go down to the West Village and move east into the East Village to finish at The Boiler Room (cheap drinks).

Some of my favs include: Bartini/Therapy (Therapy is slightly more touristy and can be shit sometimes) in Hell's Kitchen, Gym Bar (only because it's my after-game hangout) and Boxers in the Chelsea-ish area, and in the East Village, I like Nowhere/Phoenix/The Boiler Room and sometimes Eastern Block.

You could check out Williamsburg too, Metropolitan is fun and sometimes Sugarland is too.

If you want big clubs, you can check out XL, not really my cup of tea but it wasn't so bad last time I went.
I would advise against going to Splash which is imo the worst. I would rather go to Time Square on NYE that ever set foot in that thing again.

Other suggestions include:
In Hell's Kitchen: The Ritz (that some like), Hardware (have not been yet), Industry, Flaming Saddles, etc.
In Chelsea area you can also find Barracuda (sometimes they have fun drag shows), The Eagle (if that's your thing), XES (fun), G loung (ew) and Rawhide (leather bar I'm guessing, too afraid to go in, ha).
A little bit further south (walking distance) you can find Pieces (can be super fun), Rockbar (never been but heard good things), Duplex, and Stonewall (worth seeing)

I'll be in DC this weekend too, maybe I'll spot you at the Inauguration!

You guys are nuts. Cold weather >>>>>>> Hot weather. That being said I don't care about Scandinavia at all.

Also pop is okay when it's fun and catchy, and not when it's slutty and pretentious.

When is pop pretentious? The only example I can think of is Madonna's American Life album, which is usually considered her worst.

Gaga.

I'm not at all a Gaga fan, but I wouldn't say her music was pretentious at all. Its just standard dancepop. Some cathcy, some not. Nothing really remarkable about it. Her imagery seems to be just a ploy for attention rather than pretentiousness. That would be giving her too much credit.
 
Well, I was going to say Gaga too, lol. And the fact that her music fails so hard at being something unique and remarkable just makes it worse, I think. I only recall seeing one music video of her, it involved a pseudo-artsy orgy and not a lot else.
 
Hello GayGAF. It's been eons since I last posted here. I want to share something because I don't know how to react in situations like this.

I live with other 3 people. One of them is gay and the other two straight. One of the straight guys came home from the gym the other night and tells us "oh man, I'm glad you guys aren't like that". And myself and my other gay roomate were like "???" He then went on to explain that there were a lot of feminine guys (I guess there were like a group of friends) at the gym and their presence bugs him. I... felt really offended, tbh. I told him to leave them alone and let them be but he kept going on and on about how everyone at the gym looked them weird. It's not the first time he makes comments like this. We watch a lot of ANTM/Project Runway/RuPaul's Drag Race at home and he sometimes joins us and again, he likes to make comments about the effeminate guys, about why can't all of them act "manly" or "straight". Ugh.

Now, I'm not very vocal about this being an issue but it bothers me a lot. I don't know how to approach him about this specially because I don't want to cause any drama -_-.

2 gays 1 straight. you know what you have to do.

Frankly, I think she has a lot of good humor about herself that I appreciate. The fact that she can (and does) make fun her self in a very self-aware sense is kind of nice. That said? Her superfans can be aggravating, but frankly, so can fans for anything (i.e. LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE!)
 
@SaintZ: I wonder if most people are naturally prone to be uncomfortable with the blurring of gender roles as opposed to being something you "learn" as you grow up. In any case, yes, feminine guys really have it more difficult by default.

How to react? You already have so you have that under control. Your best shot is to explain to him why people would think that sounds really shitty and homophobic. But you know your roommate best - and if he'd be receptive to an honest talk about why that's shitty.
 
I mean, if he's a half decent human being, just tell him you find it offensive and to please stop mentioning it around you. It's not something you should strive to change (you probably can't). Also, living with two gay guys probably flares the insecurity up every now and then, so he feels the need to plant the straight-flag. It's emotionally childish but some people... are.

How come so many gay people are crazy about scandinavia? Just wondering, I like scandinavia but I prefer hot weather.
Click to expand...
Scandanavia is awesome, that's why. It's cold, it has fewer people, lack of religion, cool music, a good/high percentage of people in those countries speak English, etc.
 
Well I guess explaining him why it is shitty to make such comments sounds like a good idea. He isn't homophobic (I guess) because he has gone to gay clubs too and and he doesn't say anything (at least he doesn't look bothered) when we bring guys to our apartment. He does sound dumb and ignorant tho.

a few of my friends have said things like that too. i always confront them and they seem to back down immediately, so it's never a huge deal. i'm sure they still think like that, but they know not to bring it up with me. it just makes my blood boil when people say things like that.
 
I just watched Paris is Burning. I seem to remember it being mentioned in this thread before. It was pretty good. It provided a fascinating look into the "Ball/Voguing" culture during the late 80s.

Afterwards, I looked at the Wiki page and found out that almost all of the featured people in the film have since died due to AIDS related illnesses, some just a few years after the film came out. :/

Anyone who likes cold weather should be picked up and dropped off in Northern Ontario.

I know its not really Northern Ontario.. but are there many fun things to do in Ottawa during the wintertime? I'm planning a trip there next year at around this time.
