There were several stories posted by former friends of his, one including his ex-bf, who also happened to be his former manager who supported him through thick and then. The manager/ex went into explicit details about their relationship, the kind of guy he was, and how Hiro cheated on him frequently while lying to his face whenever it came up. Messy relationship drama but hard to say what's true and what isn't.

I found a link to the post back in 2009 but it's since been removed.

True or no, at least he's hot and is willing to get naked on camera!

As long as the guy isn't a slob
and doesn't have a small penis
then I'm not bothered by it.

My sentiment exactly!

what is your definition of small

I like girls!!!!!!!

I do too, for the most part, but season 2 was a big step down from season 1.
 
Smiles are the best tho. Da bessssss! :3
A guy or girl could look great until they smile. G_Nito/pupi18s smile is beautiful :) so I have no worries on this side lol

Didn't that OKCupid thing show that smiling profiles get less attention? Apparently happiness is an undesirable trait, lol.

Also, I'm willing to date anyone within a normal weight range. Or slightly lower than normal, I can't be picky about it since I'm underweight myself :p I once dated a guy who was pretty fit, though, I'm not sure how that happened (gym guys usually date other gym guys in my experience).

Had an argument with the ex last night. IIRC it was our first argument and it was so silly but it was enough to make me furious.

somebody kill moi por favor
 
You're chubby if your BMI is over 25. Unless you live in Hong Kong. Then you're a fatty at 23.

I don't really think sexual orientation has anything to do with it. Gay guys aren't really any less superficial than straight guys are.. or women.. or anyone else.

There is this guy who I met in one of my clases. He is cute, very thin, like two inches shorter than me and has curly hair. Well, my gaydar was suspecting that he might be gay, but IDK. Today I saw on Facebook that he liked some photos on instagram and it seems that the majority of them was of cute men. I will keep an eye on him, even though it is going to be creepy, I don't care, if he gives more signs of being gay, then I'll try to make a move.

I don't think that gay guys are any more superficial than straight guys, but I definitely think that gay media places a stronger emphasis on how men look than straight media does. AFAIK, rates of body dysmorphia and eating disorders are higher among gay men than straight men. (I once got quoted the statistic that gay men are the second most likely to suffer from such mental illnesses after straight women, but unfortunately I've been unable to find a study which itself supports that conclusion.)

I think that's incorrect. There's a general consensus that gay dudes are super shallow.

I, however, find chubby dudes much more attractive than skinny bitches. 8-|

I'm skinny, actually. But I don't find very thin guys very good looking, I guess.

Lol, i lost around 25 pounds in the last 15 months. I have no problem getting bigger as long as my cheeks don't. But apparently my cheeks and chin disagree.


I lost around 60 pounds in the last 10 months. But I don't want to get bigger, actually I'm trying to lose 15 more but I haven't done that. I'm stuck on my weight since September. Now that school is over I have the oportunity to do that, but holidays :O
 
I was 28.1 but now i'm 24.4

Why 23 is chubby in HK bel?

Edit: go for it daripad

HK does BMI differently.. So does Japan.

Does straight media (ie media that emphasizes sexual attractiveness) show thinner women? I think the high rates of body dysmorphia and mental illness amongst gay males are more likely caused by homophobia. If you're constantly told that you're lesser, chances are great that it will affect your self esteem. Gay people aren't a monolithic bloc and if you want evidence that there are plenty of gay men who find chubby guys attractive, all you need to do is go back a page or two in this thread.

I'm always 18 or 19. That means I'm a no go for most of HomoGAF :p

No, I don't think so

Straight media places a very high importance on how "good" (be that against whatever metric) a woman looks, with lesser (but growing) equivalent importance on men looking good.

I think the high rates of body dysmorphia and mental illness amongst gay males are more likely caused by homophobia. If you're constantly told that you're lesser, chances are great that it will affect your self esteem.

I'm not talking about mental illness in general - I'm talking about body dysmorphia and eating disorders specifically.

Sure, other depression- and anxiety-based mental disorders in gay men are highly likely to be linked to homophobia and other negative influences in people's lives.

Gay people aren't a monolithic bloc and if you want evidence that there are plenty of gay men who find chubby guys attractive, all you need to do is go back a page or two in this thread.

It's not necessarily about a specific bodily ideal than it is about the importance placed on body image generally. In that sense, I'm reminded of that "gay cliques census" (that people here often run through) that, based on five variables, will put you into no less than one of 17 categories of body image. Where is the straight male's equivalent?

However, I'd also be prepared to argue that there is a homogeneity to body types generally presented in gay media, in the same way that there is a homogeneity to body types in media targeted at women.

(Edit: I also find the idea the argument that "gay people aren't a monolithic block" pretty disingenuous. Of course not every gay person thinks the same way, but that doesn't mean that certain issues arrive from how their actions and/or preferences might be construed overall. Similarly, I'm not looking to disrepute the suggestion that some gay guys find "chubby" men attractive, but that, given the literature which suggests so, gay men may be more likely to suffer from body image problems than their straight counterparts.)

(Edit2: In the interest of neutrality, I think it fair to mention that I have also come across studies which suggest that exposure to gay media specifically doesn't lead to an increase in body dysmorphia among gay men. Nevertheless, the studies that I have read have overall suggested that correlation.)
 
Walking 2hrs just to go to the store and back in cold weather is not fun. My face and hands are frozen.

edit: Jeez Crayons, where do you live where that's even considered acceptable?

Oh, wow I had a message from someone on OK Cupid and they didn't even let me know about it via e-mail. :lol

HI, im Dany. Hello son. How are you? What games do you like, or what stuff? Why do you feel like posting in here? (Are you L, G, B, T, A, P, or Q)? How old are you?

Hello Dany. I am doing fine, if not a bit tired.

Games wise I tend to lean a little more towards some Nintendo first party stuff, but I'm also a big fan of Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. Mostly Japanese games to be honest. I have a PS3, Vita, Wii U and 3DS out of the current consoles. I'm a big film fan, even studying them in College. I'll get a list of favourite films later. I've actually started excercising recently, and want to start parkour as it's always interested me.

I feel like posting in here since I know very few LGBT people, and I have had a lot of difficulty in the past because of it (school in particular). So being in a community with other LGBT people can be a good help. I'm a 22 year old gay male in England.

Do you mean that you've had difficulty in the past with being gay because you know few LGBT people?

Exercise is good for you...i'd know. -_- I ripped my pants at work while customers were around, right on my butt. How embarresing agh ;_;

And thats cool, are you interested in the lgbt stuff at your university? I really wish that I gave them a chance but most of those fella's and gals are just not my cup of tea.

Well that and I've had abuse thrown at me because of my sexuality. Always felt a bit alone because of that.
Well, hopefully the LGBT community at your college isn't as bad as they are in the U.S.. I didn't come out until I was already at college, so I didn't have to deal with anything much. Just trying to pretend I'm straight, people asking me why I didn't have a girlfriend, etc.. I assume you're single? Having a boyfriend works wonders.

Poor wording on my part there. I'm not in College at the moment, finished that recently and am having a little break. I'm going to university next year though.

And yeah, I'm single. I had a boyfriend in college which made things a lot easier for me, but I'd prefer not to talk about what happened last year. It was a horrible time for me.
