Thanks for the screens dragonlife! The last two are especially nice, it's rare to see such ass detail and a not-completely-flat crotch on a man in games. But the model also makes me think that this gen has overstated its welcome, I want more polygons and better textures :)

^^^^^There's some amazing stuff on Flickr. It's like the early Tumblr, but with the photos being less visible unless you really dig down.

I remember reading you said someone had probably fapped to a photo of you, but I didn't expect that. Some really amazing photos there! Every hot man should get an SLR and photography lessons.
Oh and modded Skyrim would be amazing with more polies/tesselation. Dem skin shaders.
So what's stopping you from posting some yourselves?
I second this. I know like one good and the GAF tumblr has been lacking lately :p

I was very particularly speaking about the "Welcome Programme" Naked Snake offered for us Flickr newcomers, lol.

But yeah, there is interesting stuff. Makes me want to learn how to take semi decent pics, but I live in one of the least visually appealing cities in the world :(

I love Tumblr, and at first it made me think "who needs Flickr anymore!", but sadly most of the pics on Tumblr seem to be low res and badly compressed, and currently max image dimension is 1280 pixels I think? Which is good, but it's not very common to find ones that large. While on Flickr you can find really nice and original photos in full camera resolution.

Thanks! I used to really enjoy making those photos, but I stopped few years ago and it's been killing me inside. Finally started working on new ones last week (well, technically old ones, but never published, of which I have tons), hope to upload those soon, and I want to take a lot of new ones this summer.

As a side note, I've come across many of my pictures on various Tumblr blogs, it's always nice to see them around. And one time my ex-bf sent me a message on Facebook telling me how he was "admiring the artistic merit" (lol) of one picture on Tumblr, then he realized that it's me, haha.

Every hot man should get an SLR and photography lessons.

Agreed. Tons of hot men like taking and sharing pictures of themselves these days, but they all do it with their phones, and phone cameras will never reach the quality of a dSLR.

Yep, next-gen Elder Scrolls mods are gonna be gud!

Of course! Don't expect all profiles to be this good though. I have actually not come across one this good.

Mexico is beautiful too (I googled it ^^). Very few places in this world are always pretty and equally few are always ugly. He took some photos outside the borders even and my old city looks like this up close and this from a distance. And that is if you can see something because most of the time it's foggy, overcast, raining, snowing...

Not nude, but this link is NSFW. That guy linked his old photos to the Flickr profile, but sadly it's a kinda crappy camera and the high res photos are noisy -_-

My GPU is crying, but I don't need more than one fps :p

Again, NSFW :p

If I don't answer that's because I'm in bed. I'll probably sleep 12 hours and is already up too late.

What?! I need to send you some links. There are amazing "homoerotic" photographers on Flickr that dwarf me, but I think most/all of them do it for a living, and they rarely share high res ones :(

Thanks for the tumblr links!

I found some decent profiles, but they were either a strange mix or very old. The "hey, I'd like this photo in men who are/do X" galleries were also way too broad in my experiences :/

Tumblr plus images.google.com is king for me. Find hot pictures and then the source :p

That does not mean don't send links. Future me will probably study art and needs references...

I've been meaning to use images.google.com to source some favorite images, I need to get on that. The more I hear from you the more I like the way you think and notice that it's similar to mine :)

Now go to sleep. I'll send you links later.
 
White Man is still active on GAF? I've been thinking about him lately (because I finally got into The Smiths and I think they were his favorite band if I remember correctly), but I don't think I've seen him post in years.

He still posts occasionally iirc, but I guess I wouldn't characterize that as 'active'.

At my age I should be settling down with someone. Sigh

How old are you again? 27?

I'm 28 and honestly I do not want to settle down right now. The advantage of being gay is that there's no biological clock so we can basically settle down whenever we want, if ever.
 
Why is he thinking about settling down already anyways? That's something you discuss after you start getting used to each other. If you're already looking that far ahead it's bound to seem more depressing than it is. One step at a time.
 
This weekend has been one of the most amazing, weird, fantastic adventures in my life as a gay man. Here are some of the highlights:

I work at the center that hosted the Grabby's (intl. gay porn awards) where I a.) almost knocked over ChiChi LaRue and then was told (as I'm stammering 'I'm sorry's), "Honey, NEVER apologize to drag queen. We'll just make you regret it." and b.) got invited to the VIP after party, then to the after after party at the Hard Rock where I got to hang out with a bunch of porn stars until 6:30am. Yes, it was as vapid and shallow as it sounds, but also thoroughly entertaining.

While I was working had two porn stars hit on me and got recruited by two different porn companies. I turned all down, but yeah, ego boosts fo' sho'. Also, yes, Brent Corrigan is as hot in real life as he is on video, though he's shorter than I am (I'm 5'8").

Went to IML with a group of friends and bought my first harness. I have a good group of friends who are into the kink scene (and though I'm not, I'm super glad they are) and discovered that IML really is about who you go with. I had a crazy good time, and for the first time wasn't really weirded out by the leather/kink/pup scene and just enjoyed myself.

The biggest part:

Lastly, seemingly from nowhere, I found confidence in myself. I'm not sure if it was the fact that I got hit on, the harness, or what, but I found myself not really caring what other people thought about me (though, obviously, still empathetic to needs and such) and just being me. I've always been incredibly self-conscious about my body, and something just kinda snapped in me this weekend and said, "Hey, you work hard on yourself and if someone isn't into you for your looks, it's not your problem."

So, boys, as think I've said this a million times before: you're all fucking rock stars, and I'm super grateful to have a community like you all in my life. You've been with me through the best and worst of my life, and I can't thank you enough.

Go you!. Seriously that all sounds so friekin rad, idk how I would have handled the situations you were in, (meeting brent corrigan, haha) or going to ILM :s but seriously, sounds like you had an awesome weekend! :D
 
Were you naked?

Did you have sex with any porn stars?

Naked? No. I hooked up with a friend of mine at IML, but that's about it for the nudity stuff. As to the porn stars, I didn't sleep with any of them. I'm sure there were a couple I could have convinced, but honestly didn't really feel like pursuing it. Plus at that party I turned offers of various drugs a couple of times and just didn't really want to be with a boy who was on something. More power to them, but it's just not my thing.

I did fanboy out just a bit when I met Brent. Especially since he hadn't shaved a couple of days and was sexy-scruffy.

This is sort of my problem with relationships. I think about every person I go out with as a potential person to settle down with.

And then I remember that I'm only 22 and that settling down at 22 seems kinda weird and enjoying the time together for what it is.

But I am just totally incapable of 'casually' going out with someone for just a couple months. I'm weird :]

Wanna go out? :p I'm exactly like this too and I'm only 19. Casually dating is such an odd concept, if I don't see a future then I don't really see a point in going out with you. Then again, I've never really had a partner soooo...
 
If you're looking for a relationship it's unsurprising that you would kind of place that at the forefront of dating and all of that. It's why you wouldn't date someone with incompatible values, it's basically a dead end.

I think the thing to be said for 'just dating', or really setting aside our expectations for anything dating included, is that reality always diverges from our expectations at least a little bit, if not a lot. If you're already trying to envisage the future not only are you not present to what's really going on but you might be growing attached to an illusion.

For me I'm always looking to see if there's any 'substance' there but I don't really have it defined as settling down so much as it just resulting in a worthwhile relationship, which might offer more leeway depending on how a person defines that. If I appreciate the person and learn things from it and it's a net positive in my life I'm pretty satisfied. Though as I kind of alluded to it's a personal values thing, I think it's my vocation to lead a more solitary life so the longer term isn't something I'm too concerned about. Romance to me has some air of emotional detachment or friendliness though, which does make having a casual attitude about it easier but it's not perfect and also has its own problems.
 
So i come back from florida after a week of no internets (went to wedding, and vacation)......... and notice we got moved to community section.

WTF?!

PS: florida sucked!

I wish i was date material.

Neojubei you know I love you but good god man. That attitude will NEVER net you anyone. When you post your always so negative on yourself and that's never appealing dude. You have to improve your self worth before you can be date material. Trust me I go through that shit as well where I feel like im terrible and undatable but you know what you have to break that. Honestly I feel like that mindset can kill most of your chances at love reguardless of how you look. Your not undateable man. Have you gotten help for this? When you mentioned you will kill yourself that sent up a lot of red flags that you REALLY do need help dude.

Did you go to the beach? If you're not going to beach the majority of your vacation, don't go to Florida. In fact, get the fuck out as fast as you can.

We are going to the beach when we are down there. I'm kinda...worried about going shirtless cause you know fat guy with rolls and all. But eh I probably wont care once im there.

My problem (and this is something I'm trying to work past) is that if I get emotionally invested in someone, and then nothing ultimately comes of it, it feels like a huuuuge fuckin waste of time. I was so bitter a couple months after I broke up with my ex of 3 years, because it almost felt like I had just wasted all that time when I maybe could have been doing other things/seeing other people. It took a long time for me to see that I had grown and changed a bit in those three years, and that breaking up with him was actually really good for me.

I always approach it with the attitude that I have taken something out of the relationship, however short it is. Sometimes it's just knowing what you do NOT want. Sometimes it's personal growth.
It obviously is specific to each situation, but no relationship is a waste of time. If you feel like it, then maybe you can learn something about yourself such as why did you stay in it for that long if you feel that way.
