I wonder if I'd like Civ V. I like turn based strategy, but my experience on the genre comes from stuff like Advance Wars :p

It's not exactly the same. It is turn-based grid combat, but there's a lot more sophisticated resource management and territorial control than in the TBSes you're used to.

Unless it's Pikmin! =D

I don't really consider Pikmin to be an RTS, but I do love me some Pikmin.

Civ isn't an RTS and you're wrong :p

Real Time Strategy, Turn Based Strategy...it's the same thing! :p

Maybe you just suck at them :p

Yes, but that doesn't excuse the fact that it's a shitty genre. O:)

Thinking Civ is a RTS. *kicks you into a pit with RM88*

The pit is where all the kool kidz are at tho. I'm going to invite Ben Cohen into our pit and we're going to be so happy together <3

How easy is it to hook up with a guy at a gay bar? If you are a guy who is bi and shy but pretty good looking?

Sorry, but I can't help you. I'm not good at that

So it's safe to assume you Cohen people think he's better looking than David Williams? :S

I like them both, but it's not about the face.
I see Cohen as someone you can spent your days cuddling with him and won't get bored.

Even ugly guys hook up in a gay bar. Difficulty is in the clique thing of the bar, if you are not a bear you are going to find it more difficult to hook up in a bear bar, and even then it happens. Confidence is all that matters at the end really, I don't know if it's a local thing or if it is the same elsewhere but people in gay bars here are extremely anxious about having to hook up and about looking good, they focus too much on looks so when some guy, even only moderately attractive, goes to them with confidence it just disarms them. I say this as someone with very little confidence, I've seen the guys who hookup are the ones who are direct, looks matter some but is not the most important thing.

With that said, it is overall very, very easy, there' no even comparison with how it goes in regular bars.

It's too bad I'm not into the whole bar scene, though (actually, that's an understatement; I can't stand them). Even if I did find someone I like in one of those places, they'd totally get the wrong impression of me by thinking that I'm a bar-hopper or something, not to mention that they'd probably like to hang out in those sort of places, too.

I don't even drink. =/

As 100% of my dating experience comes from online dating, I'm curious about actually going to a bar and meeting guys like that. I've never been to a gay bar, though, I don't even know any in my city, lol. I can imagine in most aspects it's a better experience than online dating, except you know, actually enjoying going to such places. I also don't drink, but in regular bars/clubs I have never had a problem with this. People get surprised that you don't drink, they ask why, then it ceases being news. That being said, I only go to bars/clubs when I really have to (that is, when my friends drag me).
 
I don't know, I think it would be better if you just invite him to eat/drink and just tell him, instead of the chocolates
Thanks for the advice. I wrote him and told him I wanted to talk to him, so I picked him up, we came to my place. We talked, everything was good.

We ended up making out for quite a while, watched a movie... then making out some more, things got pretty steamy. Surprisingly he seems to want to wait (which is totally cool in my book, I didn't really intend for anything to happen tonight other than kissing). He seems pretty weird sometimes but can be very sweet.

I'm trying to just enjoy the ride. It's the first time I'm "dating" someone I really like in all aspects (physically and mentally).

Yeah of course given how it goes, it is expected you are not going to find true love easily at every gay bar, however, gay bars have traditionally being the centers of the gay community anywhere in the world really. Yes, it's about hooking up and sex most of the time, but you can find all kinds of people in a bar, it is not common, but it's also not exactly rare. I have ended up just talking to someone all night, I've even made some friends, it really goes the way you want it to go,
 
I took a job in DC and I was talking to a friend who lives in another city and he referred me to a friend of his who is looking to rent a room. Wonderful! DC is hella expensive and I didn't want to live with a total stranger. My friend tells me this guy's name and to look him up on facebook. He just accepted me today and hes a sexy italian muscle daddy. Oh jeez. This is no good. Being attracted to a roommate can't lead to anything good!

Gay first world problems.

It seems my parents are divorcing... this is making me feel overwhelmed really, on one side I know it's not my fault, on the other I feel that me leaving, plus I and my brother being gay was too much for them, specially my dad, also my mom has completely changed since I left, it frankly frightens me, she started doing yoga and became a vegetarian which by themselves aren't really crazy things, but the way she talks about life now, how everyone must be "happy" and other odd stuff, it sounds like stuff straight out of a cult. Yet she swears it's nothing like that, and then she arrives with the news that she is going on a cruise alone!? I can't believe she isn't realizing her behavior is not normal, she's acting like a teenage girl, it baffles me and worries me, and I can't do anything, I'm 4000 km away from them, skype can only do so much.

Sorry for the /livejournal entry... just needed to let it out.

I think that that's actually pretty common behavior for middle aged/older women (or men) who are recently divorced (or who are going to divorce). They join clubs and fitness centers and go on cruises and try to meet people. Things like that. I wouldn't too worried about it.

I must've been drunk when I signed up for it because I don't even remember the account. I do, hazily, remember being frustrated at trying to figure out how the hell you make posts and "follow" people and gave up and went back to my regular blog stuff.

So yeah... I dunno why they suddenly switched on e-mail notifications because I ALWAYS turn that stuff off no matter the service.

It really couldn't be simpler. Just find posts that you like and reblog them. The 'Follow" thing is usually at the very top of the page, though they don't always load instantly. Sometimes you have to wait a few seconds for it to pop up.

So, it's basically a glorified porn retweeter? Might as well use Twitter for that...

Women over the age of 30 are allowed to enjoy themselves too y'know. : P

I'm sure seeing your mum act very dfferently to how you know her must be quite difficult at times, but if she's truly happier for it then I think it best to try to be supportive of her.

But she's been like this for two years now...

Damn, I think the writing was on the fucking wall all this time.. I'm even clueless about my own parents... -_-, this sucks really. I feel she manipulated both me and my dad, this is not cool, I really need to talk to them both, because they keep saying the other is lying, it's impossible when you are away...

And she even convinced me to get her tickets to come here for new year, I thought it was very strange she wanted to come alone so I bought tickets for the whole family, of course she wanted to come alone, I'm such a idiot... now I don't know what to do, my dad already said he is not coming if she goes to that cruise alone, and I'm starting to see why he's right.

I don't know, maybe I'm in the wrong, the only thing I know is that it is only going to get worst from now on.

But there's so much more stuff and the interface is much better for pictures. Archives (just add /archive if there isn't a button on the page) are awesome for finding lost posts.
 
I've decided: average dicks are better than big dicks.

They're easier and more enjoyable to both suck and take up the ass.

I now get excited when I pull down a guy's briefs/boxers and find an average sized cock. And feel disappointed when it's a fat one.

Ratsky, I'm keeping the big ones for you.

What about the small ones?


Mantidor, I have gone through that in my life but my parents in the end didn't get divorced though I was feeling lonely and sad while they were separated. I know how you feel and don't feel guilty to post about it here. Stay strong and try to understand.them.

I joined okcupid a few weeks ago and have been going out with a couple of different guys since then. Last night I more or less broke it off with one of them since there wasn't much spark between us, and later told the other guy -- who had previously joked that I was afraid of commitment b/c I've never been in a relationship before -- that I wanted to now date him exclusively. His response? Sorry, we shouldn't see each other any more, hope you're not mad p.s. let's still be friends. The fuck? I MAKE A COMMITMENT to this guy I really liked and had great chemistry with, and he ditches me.

This is the kind of stupid shit that kept me away from dating for so long and is going to sour me on it in the future.

Being friend-zoned isn't the worst fate if you genuinely like the person. You might find after getting to know him more that you two weren't all that compatible.
