SpaceBridge said:The great thing about living in a big city, is that there is more diversity in the gay community. Now, Im not sure about LA (since its LA), but Im sure you'll find someone there.
Isaac, why would you tell a guy you like to die?
Replicant said:WTF, am I doing?! I'm flirting with an 18 year old. This is so wrong but he kept msg-ing me while other hot guys my age don't.
I think I have the same fear of rejection that straight GAF-fers have. I'd want to talk to someone but freezes up for fear they may not respond back.
That's not bad. Sometimes more fun than my case, where the ones that usually respond back are the ones in the late 40s, but look older than my 65 year old dad. Don't mind ages or looks, but I mean..not "eveyrone that moves" has been my more recent rule (as I went with a few 40+ guys hoping things were different, and nope..).Replicant said:WTF, am I doing?!

I really love it when they claim to be 40 something but they look 60. I always think how Keanu is 42 and yet he looks younger than some of these guys. Although surprisingly I don't get messaged by them that often. Maybe once in a blue moon.fernoca said:That's not bad.

Space, you're not here.
Isaac, maybe your crush will be impressed that you don't always agree with him. Does he know you like him?

Rocket Punch said:Just some random thoughts. I had a friend visiting from overseas and staying at my place for a week. I was left to feel judged and condescended and it's left me in a bit of a funk. I need to get some things off my chest. Please don't take this personally anyone. It's only a livejournal entry.
I don't need to have a sexual partner at all times to be a well adjusted gay man.
I am not boring because I am a homebody and because I choose to stay home instead of going clubbing.
I'm happy your life turned out great after you left for the big city but don't assume that everyone that chooses to stay behind is 'settling' or is less than you are as result.
It's not nice to criticize for the sake of criticizing how a city is run when compared to a 'world class city' like the one you live in now.
It's not nice to tune out a friend you haven't seen for 5 years while you check Grindr or watch porn while sitting 3 feet away from me using my Wi-Fi.
Some of you may say I should have said these things to him in person. He was a guest and I was not about to make him feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed. I was just deeply disappointed how a friend could be so careless and insensitive in their demeanor.

Marius_ said:Tomorrow I will be moving in with 3 other dudes, one which is overly religious and I am a douchebag atheist(yes if someone brings up religion to my face I burst with disgust). He is also sort of a dudebro. I wish to avoid him since we go way back but he is one of the 3. So for a year I need to walk around with a fake smile and a 'hi' and probably keep the flamboyance down to make this work. Give me advice to make this easier
And here are some of the replies I received:Exclamation-One said:However, the guy I hooked up with (Chuck) is in an open relationship with an older man (Jay) who I'm also friends with.
The Broken Ska Record said:Maybe they have an open relationship. Why not just ask Chuck if he told Jay anything?
fernoca said:You knew they were together before getting involved; so it's also your fault.
fernoca said:Is Chuck a lying, cheating asshole? Yep; but not the only one to blame.
That's were part of the problem lies. Exclamation knew about the relationship, and he wasn't worried about Chuck's partner knowing; he probably didnt' cared; because "he was drunk".
Sai-kun said:For all you know, they might have an open relationship?
fernoca said:And Exclamation should've known better; coming from disappoiting dates, to go and play around with a guy and mess his relationship with another guy; it's also a big "no-no".
Um, okay. Have you actually talked to Chuck about the situation? Or hell, even Jay? I'm sure Jay will keep your secret if he knows if you approach him. You kinda being a bit combative in this thread, yea?Exclamation-One said:I've got to be honest, I'm really disappointed with GAY-GAF. Yes, my original post could have come off as a bit offensive without the proper context, and for that I apologize. However, aside from all the egging on, it seems some of you just jumped in to give your two cents without really understanding the situation.
Here's what I wrote in my original post:
And here are some of the replies I received:
Reading comprehension, how does that work?
Mostly I just dislike being 'called out' when I've done nothing wrong.
Oh I never bring up religion unless its brought upon me first, and I dont really have something against religious people, I have live long enough to understand the clinging, hell I was in church just yesterday but when its put on my face I dont hold back and put them in their place. Maybe its just that he annoys me very much sort of how some flamboyant gays get on some of these straight ppl nerves.Cosmic Bus said:Contact CBS about a sitcom deal, because this sounds like an entertainment goldmine.
Alternately, well... don't bring it up? I'm somewhat religious myself and have a number of Christian friends and family members, but have never come across anyone who goes out of their way to start conflicts with non-religious folk. Maybe I'm just lucky. Anyway, I would just try to control yourself: if he's not trying to get all up in yo' business about it, then neither should you. As a gay man, you should know better than most people that living in society requires both acceptance and some give-and-take.
Will do.Exclamation-One said:STRAIGHT(?) GUY HERE, PLEASE READ
I really don't think there's anything that offensive about referring to someone as a fairy queen especially if he's a self-described fairy queen.Exclamation-One said:I hope a close friend of mine (who is also an avid Neo_GAFFER) doesn't see this, but...
I'm not TOTALLY hetero. Who is?
Once I got drunk and let a [self-described] fairy queen guy blow me. I didn't finish. We ended up cuddling and sleeping in for about 7-8 hours. It was okay.
Is this couple normally this transparent about being in an open relationship? Does it truly bother you or was it just a bit of a surprise that he wasn't doing much to hide it? I think maybe you should have told him to keep it to himself when it all happened. If I don't want something to come out, I make sure I let that person know he should keep it a secret.Exclamation-One said:Recently, I had a bad couple of dates, and a gay friend came on to me. I ended up making out with him and let him blow me, and I jerked him a bit. As in the first situation, I was a little drunk, and that was that. Neither one of us got off.
However, the guy I hooked up with (Chuck) is in an open relationship with an older man (Jay) who I'm also friends with. He made a lot of allusions and jokes the last time we hung out together. Jay, the old man (who's in his mid-50's and the lover of Chuck) was staring at me intently the last time all of us hung out, like he knew what was going on or he was suspicious.
I think Jay suspects that Chuck and I did something. I can't tell if he's jealous or bemused.
Chuck, for his part, is almost complete transparent about the whole thing, and made sly (not blatant) allusions to us making out. I was mortified and pretended like everything was 'normal.'
Exclamation-One said:Is this sort of teasing/duplicity commonplace among gay males? I know that hooking up with straight guys is supposed to be a major fantasy,
Exclamation-One said:but... if Jay found out, it could get around to other straight friends of mine, and well, you know...
Exclamation-One said:I feel like Chuck is being careless - he sends me text messages all of the time about how he 'misses' me and whatnot. I also feel a bit objectified, like I'm some sort of joke, like Chuck is just messing about and showing off in front of Jay.
I don't know if it's common.Exclamation-One said:Is this common?
