Do NOT PLAY MONOPOLY. Holy shit, that game has caused so much rage whenever I've played it.
I'd rather play a fighting game with people, and theoretically a fighting game should induce more rage than monopoly since violence primes people for aggression (I think).

Perhaps you were stressed about the date and the stress hormones caused that acne?

Yup, this is exactly my stance on the work situation, as well. My last two jobs people knew because it came up in conversation and that was that. My current job - which has only been for two weeks so far - I haven't specifically brought it up but there's no concern on my part: the owners are gay and one of my coworkers is a lesbian. Besides, they've seen what I wear and probably have a good idea already.

And?
Everyone has different taste and college is the perfect time to start coming out. Most likely many of them have gay friends (or are gay) and it shouldn't be a problem to anyone. You don't have to do it right away but don't put it off forever.
It may be hard to understand but once you come out and provided there isn't any drama associated with it (hopefully), it feels like a weight off of your shoulders.
As for being out at work, I am. At least to the people I hang out with and talk to about stuff related to me being gay (dating and all that). I won't deny it or try to hide it if I am asked, but I wouldn't specifically sit people down and tell them either.

And your description of yourself is not bad at all, if that's what you think. Some guys like that.
EDIT: Damn you, xelios. That's what I get for leaving the thread open while League of Legends tards out.

I prefer not to be out at work. Well, that's only mostly accurate, in that I prefer to keep my work life and personal life separate more ways than not, and I see sexuality as mostly private unless I happen to want the person inquiring to know, for whatever reason. Granted I intensely dislike being probed at the best of times, so it's not really a sexuality thing in particular, though it must have its own unique context in terms of how sexuality seems to factor into a lot of other deeper emotions and perceptions about ourselves and how we fit into the world. I'd as soon divulge that as I would my deepest yearnings. Fuck that, I am not such an exhibitionist.
Just kidding
But subtract some dramatization and that's kind of how I see it. Sexuality is mostly and intimate and private thing, work is a casual/professional thing, bringing the two together seems almost so messy (for my already messy psyche, at least) that I almost begin to panic just thinking about it Though it doesn't help that people often seem to misread my intentions, or think that I'm flirting with them when I'm not.

You know it occurs to me in my 31 years on this planet that I've never been hit on even once (or If I have, I've been to dense to notice).
Hell, I'd even take one from a girl...not that I'd reciprocate but it's nice to know someone fancies you.

Heh, I actually suggested Monopoly to somebody today if their power went out (I know, terrible). I kinda want to play it again so I can test out some rule tweaks:Obsessed said:
- A general buff to rent on the higher end properties so that they're viable.
- Rent bonuses if you own more than one group of properties on a side. The cheapest properties would be the quickest to go for players attempting to reap the benefits of this, so they'd be viable instead of crap no one wants.

I know that feel, bro.
While walking home from work tonight, a girl at a stop light yelled at me from her car "YOU MAKE ME WET!" and I thought maybe she wanted my water bottle dumped in her lap.

A girl in Las Vegas screamed "HIIIIIII!" to me from her car. It was full with her and her male friends.Cosmic Bus said:
I actually heard her before, screaming, "Boy! Hey, boy!" repeatedly. But I never assume people are talking to me. When I turned around was when she said "HIIIII!" and I realized she meant to get my attention. It was weird.

I'm exactly the same way. I'm never aware when anyone hits on me, and if someone's being really nice I just assume they are just friendly.Henchmen21 said:

I think I did not make it clear. I am 5'5 and 101 pounds. I have trouble imagine how anyone could find that attractive.

Yeah, I've been randomly screamed at a few times before - sometimes to get my attention, sometimes it's derogatory - and I've never really understood what purpose it's supposed to serve. Like, if a guy actually thought I was hot (lawls) and yelled this at me in passing, I'd feel awful! I mean, one person finally thinks I've got it goin' on and he's driving away, never to be seen again. Wow, great.

Doh. I wish I encountered people who thought the same. I'm a friendly guy (in b4 fucking hateradio) and people usually mistake it for me hitting on them.The Broken Ska Record said:
You'll find your niche, don't worry. Regardless, it shouldn't matter if you just want to make friends with other gays.Obsessed said:
That said, why do you feel your sexual orientation is a private matter? I understand not announcing it to everything that moves, but keeping it intensely private is not good. Are there still some aspects that make you uncomfortable?

dragonlife said:
That's a very good question, and I'm not exactly sure of the answer. All I know is that there are certain things about me that I just don't want anyone to know about. Sexual orientation happens to be one of them.
Cosmic Bus said:
I hate it when people do that. It's annoying and obnoxious. People always seem to want to do stupid stuff when they're around friends. I was at a light once and a car filled with young guys and gals was stopped next to me. The girl pretty much started shouting. "OMG YOU'RE SO HOT. OH YEAH I LOVE THE WAY YOU SUCK ON THAT WATER BOTTLE!" I was indeed drinking a water bottle. How am I supposed to react to these things?

Yup. Lots of times. Sometimes you get rejected, sometimes you dont. And sometimes, you do the rejecting, its all part of dating. Ive gone on up to guys who are totaly not in my "league" (ie: 6 foot, muscle guys) and Ive been successful. Sometimes, I havent. Ive been hit on by guys Im not into either, and Ive had to say no too. I even dated a
a male stripper
That hook up ended really quick btw
You need to be proactive if you want to meet someone. And Im not talking about just putting profiles on Grindr and OKCupid.

I tend to be pessimistic when it comes to other people. "Why would anyone be attracted to me?" That sort of thing.dragonlife said:
I grew up thinking dating would be like the show Sex and the city, I was so wrong. Why can't life be as fabulous as Carrie Bradshaw's. Some guys would faun over her, take her out to expensive restaurants and she would dump them and have a fabulous brunch with friends.
trying to be less depressive guys.
I'd give anything to be your size. Heck if the devil is listening I'd give away my soul. being fat and gay and something else is so awful.

Oh trust me, I am.
I'm too embarrassed to work out in public, but I've been trying to do more calisthenics while alone.
It is actually kind of a miracle I've managed to stay so thin. I eat junk food all day long, and until recently the only exercise I got was walking to/from the bathroom, and to/from the dinner table.

Yeah, this sucks. And it's weird, because while I can be very friendly, friendly is practically all that I am to people [of the good, at least
]. In communication I often can have kind of an enthusiastic and responsive personality, but for all of whatever geniality or charm that I may have, on a deeper emotional level I usually feel almost as remote and detached as a comet briefly entering (and then leaving) Earth's gravitational field. Sometimes I wonder if some people just don't know what 'friendliness' looks like, because I don't think I'm doing anything wrong I'm maybe slightly manipulative in that I attempt to win people over immediately so things go more smoothly for me, but isn't that like half of all the value of things like etiquette?- Status
