Kinda off-topic, but...
The last few days were "interesting":
-My mother was hospitlized from August 17 until August 21. She needed a blood transfussion as her hemoglobin was on 6 and she didn't knew it (was just doing some routine tests for a new medic she's going to). [Cute nurses I might add.. XD ..all 3 straight .. :p]

-She was let go on August 21st, with an hemoglobin of 10; but mostly because PR was under storm warning (Irene, which became hurricane right when it was about to hit).

-Wanted to watch True Blood, but they cut electricity at 6PM...but returned it at 8-ish, so I did watched it. Power went out again at midnight, returned yesterday (August 25).

-Lots of wind, some cool lightning/colors during the "eye" (green one time :p), lots of rain (even a flood were I live, which never happened but at least it was from out house onwards).

Now to top it all, the news are 50% hurricane, and 50% about some guy from the senate who apparently posted a few naked pictures on...Grindr. :p (Don't have Grindr so can't check/confirm).


And a little on-topic:
-The "young guy" I was talking over the last few days..kinda disappeared. Now he's rarely online, and even deactivated his Facebook account. :/

-"Guy that started talking to me again", also disappeared, seems to be only online on Sundays after True Blood to talk about it; but then nothing else.

-Considering joining again to all those "dating sites" I stopped visiting.. :/ ..maybe eHarmony will finally let me create an account, as the 2 times I've tried it says they can't create an account (or something like that) as they can't find a match for me. :|

That first one doesn't sound good, but I doubt he deleted his Facebook account just to avoid you. Something must be up.

Has anyone ever had any success with eHarmony? I thought they were embroiled in some legal fights over access to gays because they are ostensibly a Christian site. I might be out of the loop, but I've never seen or heard about anyone in a relationship because of eHarmony. I've heard good things about OkCupid, though. Dating sites intimidate me...


Best wishes for your mother. Blood transfusions are serious business.

Thanks and yeah, she wasn't a big fan of it (neither the CT scan sicne she's claustrophobic), but well..she never learns. We return right homee, and there she was..up and down all over the house doing laundry, making dinner, cleaning things, and moving other things around because of the hurricane. Is like a big baby, she can't stand still..so my dad and I all over the place helping her (or trying to). :p

Guy #1 was just online, said "Hi".., I replied back saying "Hey, how are you..everything all right?"..and he went offline. :p

As for the dating sites, I tried eHarmony and a "gay variant" they have which I forgot the name, but no luck on either. OKCupid, I've hear great things, but most of the guys that were cosntantly online were the same ones I sometimes saw over Adam4Adam..so I never had "luck" with them. :p

Details? Are they guys you met from Grindr.
After like 40ish people i talked to on Grindr, there were two decent people. These are the two i'm going on a date with. One is a cute simple guy, the other is a hot piece of human architecture that i feel i connect with a lot more than the simple guy.

edit: holy hell...alcoori, you are incredibly handsome O__O

Gurl see the light.

BTW Alcoori, where you got that shirt
River Island, it's a British Store. Got it in London before I moved out to NYC. No idea if they have some in the US though!


Oh you guys :3
I've been in this thread and the previous one for quite a bit. There was a ranking of the people who posted in this thread and I had made the top 3 when it was shown.
Also, how straight can I be with such an avatar?
 
I'm going to assume Alcoori is quite feminine and superficial thus not my type, just to make me feel better about myself ^^

:(
 
Man, don't you hate it when your RL chemistry with someone is not as good as your online chemistry with that same person? This is why nothing beats RL interaction.

Yes! But what does it all mean? Online chemistry is still 'real', right?

I think I come across better in texts/online than I do in real life.

It's called chemistry. Of course that only works irl.

Of course online chemistry is real but it doesn't always translated into RL chemistry. And come to think if it, vice versa. You can get along well with someone in RL but have stilted convo online.
 
Not to derail but... a straight friend of mine pointed me to this...

...in attempts to get me to pay more attention to football. This just might work.
 
Wow I'm shocked. A 25-year old male model called Murilo Rezende was stabbed to death in my city (São Paulo, Brazil). He was living with a 52-year old guy (also killed) in one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in town.
The police is investigating and there's suspicion it has to do with homophobia.

RIP.
I hate this country.

It's so damn comforting to have football on tv again. I've been working weekend overnight work for 8 years now, but I'm going to weekdays after the move, and being able to watch football all weekend is one of the #1 things I'm looking forward to. Mom doesn't know it yet, but she and Dad and HylianGreg and I are going to one of the first Saints games after we arrive home. :)

That pic of Sanchez just reminds me that football (and UFC) are great for leaving on in the background while you're doin' the deed. Just sayin'. Good eye candy, man grunting, tight ends..

I have a friend who fights in local UFC matches, and I mentioned this to his girlfriend. She then repeated it in front of him and some of his fighting buddies.. they were not amused, hehe..
 
After using OkCupid and Grindr for a while, an experience that was a bit hit and miss, yet again I find myself falling for a guy I met in the GayGAF Skype chat. XD I am smitten. :3

On the subject of music, anyone a metal fan? I don't venture into metal-gaf much because I didn't have money for music, but spotify has let me listen to a whole lot of stuff now.
Huge metal fan yes. I listen to most types of music but I always come back to something that RAWKS my socks off. I like everything from Tool to Opeth to Cradle of Filth to H.I.M.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of If These Trees Could Talk (An instrumental band) and Dance Gavin Dance. Not strictly metal but are definitely two bands that I'd recommend to anyone who likes their loud bands a bit more creative and interesting.

D'aww, that's sweet. GayGAF is obviously a force for good in the world. (Incidentally is the sykpe chat still alive, or has it evolved into something else? I'm running out of ways to procrastinate from revision and I need entertainment.)

Yes the Skype chat is still alive, there's even some new blood in there! I can add you in an hour or so when I get home from work or you could PM kitchenmotors and he'll be able to add you.

GayGAF is indeed the sexiest, most fabulous force for good. :P
 
I could never use the internet for dating. I can't even look at the gaydar homepage without feeling embarrassed.

I think that the people who frequent these sites are pretty brave because I sure as hell don't want my face, body or details being seen by strangers! :o

Does everyone in the Skype chat use a webcam? I get really nervous in front of webcams.

We haven't had a webcam chat in a long while and even then a lot of people don't get on cam. It's mostly a text chat right now. The people that like to get on cam sometimes venture to tinychat.
 
Stabbie said:

Nope! On occasion we have had the odd group video chat but I think TinyChat and G+ hangouts fill that void now.

We just use the text chat and then sometimes we have a group call but it's rare that video gets turned on, so no need to be nervous. :)

I think it's a lot of fun and it can be a nice way to get some advice or vent. Or perhaps even find a man. XD

Well that's because you go on Gaydar.
Use websites who aren't sketchy (Okcupid, PlentyofFish).

Thanks for the protip ;-)

Took a look at some of those other pics, great stuff. He's also apparently a Gleek. Who knew?
 
Hahaha.
WWE, UFC..I enjoy wtaching the fights/martial arts, plus shirtless and sweaty-speedo wearing guys is always a plus. Heck, I buy the games too because of that. :p

Well considering that now people have to pay to even use video on skype (Well for group anyways) tinychat and G+ had to become the norm.

Yay, thanks.

I've been reading a little about this 'Bareback Brotherhood' movement (which has been described as a radical identity emerging within the gay community where bareback sex is not looked down upon, and is encouraged and sought out) and it is genuinely the most moronic thing I've ever encountered. Why do these guys actively put themselves in situations where they are at risk of catching serious, life-altering diseases (and in some cases they actively seek out HIV, which is just so dumb I can't even articulate it)? It worries me that there seems to be something of a resurgence in barebacking among young gay men. I know AIDS isn't the death sentence it was in the 80s, but it still fucks up your life. It just boggles the mind that people are putting themselves at such risk for what amounts to a few minutes of (supposedly) better sex.

I haven't been on Skype in years. Is anything free on there anymore? Is there a text chat now? I'm totally out of the loop.

I cannot understand this either. Some people are idiots and maybe it's a way for them to be different from mainstream?
I did notice that there is a resurgence of bareback porn video. Every time I'm thinking "why would you do that to yourself?". It just seems utterly idiotic and way too risky. One of the guys on this video was super hot. A big beefy delicious piece of ass, but the simple fact that he wasn't using condoms (and worse, let the other guy creampied him) turned me off so hard.

The popularity of bareback porn is really quite alarming. I'm sure that's playing a big part in the increase in barebacking, though I'm sure there must be other factors. It just makes me sad that after the AIDS crisis of the 80s, which was just so horrific that I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to live through it, people are falling back into the same patterns.

Well, now I've thoroughly depressed myself I think I need ice cream.

Yeah there is text chat. One person has to pay to get Group video chat but you can still do one on one for free. I just use Tinychat as it's easier.

Live and let live. Just say no and let natural selection do the rest.

I feel bad now liking a few bareback pornos i have seen. Of course i rather they wear condoms of course.

I don't feel bad. It's just a fantasy. Besides, condoms in porn is almost always handed awkwardly, appearing and disappearin out of fucking nowhere and trying to hide with every possible kind of rare camera angle the fact that they're actually using them. Am I the only one that think it would be much better if they used them more naturally?

No wonder why I'm addicted to amateur stuff. Profesional porn is lame as hell 99% of the times.
 
Would you guys say it is healthy and/or normal to daydream about new boyfriends of your ex-boyfriends getting horribly mutilated and/or perishing in an inferno?

I'm asking this for a friend, btw. *whistles*

Human mind is such a fascinating little bitch I'm no longer scared about any kind of thought at all. You shouldn't either.

Agree with this. I do find myself favoring amateur x-tube stuff these days. Can't remember the last time I accessed my personal collection, actually.

Also, from the little work that I've done with LGBT counseling, I can say that alcohol/drugs is a much bigger influence on guys having sex bareback than bareback porn.

They should use them more natural yes. And it all depends on the amateur stuff for me some of it can be really meh.

I think that's the issue with condoms. There's really no natural way to use them. Of course, would never suggest that people not use them. But when you're in the heat of the moment, and passion is running high (especially if you've been drinking and are in an especially amorous mood), it's hard to not be pulled out of the moment by the action of putting on a condom.

I taught a class once on how cretive/sexy ways to put on a condom. Kinda fun. lol

Then I guess I'm different because Ive never had this problem.

I almost bought that today. Its the Exercise for men only magazine I cannot stop buying. Seriously that magazine is some soft-gay porn disguised as a fitness magazine.
