I found that gif horrifying but hey to each his own
That's exactly where I'd want a tattoo!
This is pretty much what I'd want, but I'd have to be on a lot of bath salts to actually go through with it. I bet circles are really hard to tat onto people, though.
Just saw the video, OMG that was cruel. I'd like to die inmediatly if that happened to me. What did they try to pour on his head at the end of the video?
I saw this video a while back, and I think they said it was urine.
I thought they were joking about that. Damn if it is. Damn this world.
Really I hate how I would be treated if I came out. Just starting from home it would be a nightmare. The day it is safe for me to do it, I would be the hapiest man on earth, but as I'm seeing lately, people are not illing to change that homophobic attitude. It is a shame, because we don't do any harm to anyone, opposed to what these people do. This bullshit needs to stop, but unfortunately I know that I can do nothing to fix it, and it gets me frustated.

Definitely agree with the first two, but tattoos are only really acceptable to me if they are very small and inoffensive.
I still regret not getting the XC wings tattoo that a lot of the guys on my HS cross country team got. Something small and meaningful near the ankle I think can be cool and look good. And I don't even really like tattoos in general. Getting it now, though I think would be weird.
Other than that my life has come to sitting around drinking fall beer (Octoberfest) in the summer and watching Mean Girls lol. Sigh. Oh well at least the actor that plays Aaron Samuels is apparently gay irl so that makes him look even hotter to me.

Been away for couple of days (having fun sexy adventures, still contemplating whether to chronicle them here), but I'll chime in on a few recent topics:
Cockroaches: I tend to see one or two every few days in my bathroom, and after the first few they don't faze me anymore*, in fact I get excited when I see one because it means my turtles are getting a nutritious snack. Roaches are nocturnal and come out at night, and they like moisture, so I only spot one when I go into the bathroom at night. They usually move a few inches when I turn on the lights (making me notice them) then freeze in place (a shitty camouflage tactic?), so I just grab the nearest item of footwear and hit it using the least amount of force necessarily to immobilize it but not out right squish it into goo. Then I usually put it in a plastic container (it'd still be alive) and feed it to my turtles the next morning
*Although I'll admit one did startle me the other day when I first saw it running towards my foot. I jumped and screamed like a girl
Tattoos: don't care for them. I don't think I'll ever get one, and pretty much everyone I know who had one told me they later regretted their choice of design or placement. I'll admit that that they can look nice when done really well, but that's often just the case in porn and almost never in real life. Not a fan of permanent body alterations in general (e.g. piercings)
Glasses: also not a fan of them. I hate that I have to wear them (not all the time though, thankfully), and they get in the way when making out, and if you take them off just before making out then you have those red pressure marks on your nose and it looks awful.

I wore glasses for about a decade, and since changing to contacts I noticed that a bit of my nose is a different color from the rest of it. That part is where the bridge of my glasses were, which I thought was weird, lol. Didn't think glasses would do that. It's different from what you're talking about, though.

I always notice (since I was a kid in school) that people who wear glasses look very weird when they take them off. Not sure if that has to do with others being used to how they look in glasses, or if wearing glasses the whole time somehow alters/deforms some people's faces.
Bots on gay dating/hookup apps? News to me.
Unless you mean "bottoms", then San Francisco is overrun with them.
People always told me (when I wore them) that I looked better without them, so I guess I'm lucky, lol.

Look, I'm hating on the fact that I have to wear them
I have nothing against them on others, although I haven't dated or kissed a guy who wore them.

Well to be honest I haven't tried glasses on glasses, but just me as the glasses person works fine. Also:
This never has happened to me except with myself, so I think is really you. Accept your glasses, embrace the sexiness, 90% people agree!
Ok I'm making that number up but glasses are overwhelmingly consider sexy rather than ugly.
Edit:
In other news I'm hearing noises in the apartment below mine, is freaking me out... because it's supposed to be empty. Maybe is the wind... or maybe is the landlord, but why he would be there at 5:00 AM?

My personal experience Vs. Your personal experience = "You must be wrong and I must be right"
Good logic there
Again, I'd like to see where you get that from. If it were the case then contacts and corrective vision surgery (lasik, etc) wouldn't be so popular, and alpha males in Hollywood movies would all be donning glasses.
I think a cute/hot guy is a cute/hot guy, glasses or not. But if I could choose I'd lose the glasses almost every single time, and I'm pretty sure the majority (i.e. more than 50%) of people would too (when they don't feel pressured to sound hip or politically correct). No way do people "overwhelmingly" prefer glasses.
I think it's just an issue of familiarity. I find that people who I've only really seen without glasses on look weird if I then see them wearing them, and vice versa.
But seriously, this is detachable eye wear we're talking about. How can they make someone look more or less attractive?
Perhaps people who wear them feel differently, but I wouldn't be surprised if most people really don't care. I wouldn't let your own dislike of wearing glasses get in the way.
well, people wear wrong clothes can make them less attractive, no?
I love guys with glasses because when you get intimate with one them and he takes them off, it means he trusts you, they are showing a side of them they normally don't show anyone.
Guys who wear glasses at all times feel naked without them so when you are in bed with one of them and they take them off, it feels awesome, I take it as a sign of trust and succesful intimacy.
I love, LOVE it when that happens.

I guess so, but not people wearing clothes. : P
(Plus, "being attractive" is different from "dressing well".)

Almost anything can make someone look more or less attractive, including hairstyle, facial hair, make up, jewelry, accessories... the list goes on.
I don't see why it's strange to suggest that glasses can be perceived as a negative aspect in someone's attractiveness. Afterall they obscure a person's eyes, arguably the most important feature in the face, can have thick distorting lenses, in frames that come in all kinds of potentially ill-suited shapes and colors.
And that's not even bringing in the inconvenience factors involved (swimming? playing sports? raining? going into a sauna/steam room? Lost/broke them when you're out and far from home?) There are many situations where glasses suddenly become something you have to worry about or battle with. Yes these are not things that directly affect someone's physical appearance, but they affect or hurt activities you might share with a partner who wears glasses. Want another can of worms? How about perceptions of genetic fitness/health of a potential mate, if even at a subconscious level.
I never thought I'd write a post like this, haha. And I didn't even cover all reasons why I hate having to wear glasses.
@Naked Snake: I guess I just find those reasons quite picky, but ultimately your preferences are your preferences. I've never once looked at someone I found attractive (or didn't) and thought "Oh, if only he weren't wearing glasses", and I've never felt that glasses were a contributory factor for why I didn't find someone attractive.

Ironically, I've never thought these things either. Maybe I'm just insecure about others liking me less because I wear glassses (even though I don't recall anybody expressly making me feel that way) since I personally find them bothersome.
And I can be extremely picky and perfectionist about a lot of things; you got that right.
For many people glasses are semi-permanent addition to their face. For example, I only take off my glasses when I really have to (i.e. when they can get easily damaged or the lenses can get dirty/wet to the point of being useless), otherwise I wear them non-stop. Some of my friends probably haven't even seen me without glasses. :lol
And when you think about them that way, how they are different than e.g. nose shape, eyes color, haircut, facial hair etc. Even if you think about them as an detachable accessory, you can treat them as if they were a kind of a make-up - they can make your face thinner or fuller, they can empathize your eyes, make brows look thinner or thicker etc. Just like make-up, well choosen frames can do wonders to person's fac (or completely destroy it).
I broke my glasses once when I was at gym. I couldn't even imagine that walking back home (about 500m) can be so stressful :lol It was 9PM, late autumn, so it was dark outside. All I saw were blurry shapes of buildings and lights.

Luckily my eye sight isn't that bad; I can easily do most things without glasses if I have to (even driving, but that's obviously dangerous and illegal)... but I've broken my glasses so many times, and good ones are very expensive to replace, not to mention you might not find that one frame you took forever to choose and settle on.
#teamfuckglasses
You are certainly right in that glasses are (or, perhaps more appropriately, can be) an expression of identity, and that for the people who wear them can be just as significant to their appearance as any of their physical features.
But, as you've also identified, glasses come in a near-infinite variety of styles, shapes and colours. Saying, then, carte blanche that "I don't fancy people with glasses" is, imo, akin to saying "I don't fancy people with noses". How can you categorically reject something so variable?

*shrug* Have I been misreading the past few posts?
Naked Snake

Yep. Read them again.
I said twice that I never held glasses against someone, and I never thought "If only this guy didn't wear glasses." I don't even think it's normal to say "I don't fancy people who wear glasses."
All I've said is that I think it's normal to have a preference in the matter, just like people have preferences in all other matters. And that I'm willing to bet that the majority of people would prefer their mates didn't wear glasses (albeit a very minor preference, outweighed by a million other factors). Nowhere did I suggest glasses could be a deal breaker. That is unreasonable IMO, although I'm sure these people exist.
Example: I prefer brunets. That does not mean that I don't find blonds or gingers crazy hot. But if I had to choose between identical looking guys who only differed in hair color...
I'm not going to argue too much, because preferences are preferences (although, I think a point can be made about how reasonable it is to have some preferences, but that's a different matter). However, my point would still be that I, personally, find the preference hard to appreciate such that saying "I prefer my partners not to have glasses" is like saying "I prefer my partners not to have noses".
This lack of understanding may just be because I have very few, if any, preferences when it comes to physical appearance. I find the idea of forming an "ideal" partner very difficult.

Equating glasses to noses... yeah I don't want to argue with you either
I don't see why the comparison is so invalid. My argument is that glasses come in such a variety that I don't see how they can be sufficiently generalised to the point that one can or cannot dislike (or particularly like) them.
It's like saying "I dislike the colour red". What red?
Well, I wasn't arguing that. I just said that glasses can make someone more attractive or less attractive.
And about the generalization - one word that can explain it all: "fetish".
It will sound weird but one of my friends' brother doesn't like food that's red; not particular shade of red - just red. It doesn't matter whether it's strawberries, water-melon or tomato - he doesn't like it. Why? No one know (probably even himself).

Glasses are great. Shout-out to Parn.

Haha weird. That reminds me of one time in preschool we had a 'red thing' day part of which was where I guess parent volunteers or something brought like a bunch of red colored foods like strawberries, cherry tomatoes, sliced up red bell pepper, etc. I remember being hesitant to try the pepper because I don't think I had deliberately eaten any at <6 (why do I still remember that) but then it immediately became my favorite vegetable. For the longest time I wouldn't even eat green or yellow bell peppers, just the red ones, I guess those are the best though. But yeah I don't know I guess at that age I had an aversion to eating unknown red things because food being that color seemed weird, maybe that's just something he never really grew out of for whatever reason.
i've not tried tinder or jack'd, but scruff isn't too bad. the problem is that everyone knows grindr and that seems to be where most people are here. sadly both have problems delivering messages. :\

also, i like glasses on other people but hate wearing mine outside of the house.

It's a tough call. For a one time fling I'd probably go with the bottom pic guy. For romance, I'd go with the top pic guy.
