For someone to fall in love with you, you first need to fall in love with yourself.

Hitting the gym and now you're in love with yourself? I see how it is Hippie haha.

Yeah, that all came up but they turned it into art being open for interpretation so those "opinions" don't matter to the audience and that they don't like trying to make those "opinions" into a solid piece of the characters so to them it is still officially "friend kiss" because that's their "opinion."

I feel like you're referencing a thread that I missed. Either way, that sounds like one hell of a way to interpret it.

Pretty much any discussion about representation makes me sad. It basically all boils down to "It doesn't affect me, so I don't care" or "stop trying to force an agenda/stop trying to change things"

Oh yeah, I'm referring to how I've actually seen it discussed. There was some obvious resistance to considering characters in TLOU non-straight at all since the game doesn't explicitly use the terms for them.

I'm trying to do away with the love handles once and for all. :p

I just posted that because it sounds like one of those inspirational facebook updates that you see sometimes, and I wanted someone to call me out on that, lol.

It's very cliché and corny. Yet somewhat true.

Hm. The "gay character representation in Marvel" thread is an exact mirror of "female representation in video games" threads.

Eurghhhh, the "You are basically holding authors/creators/writers hostage with your demands!" argument.

That's my question. If you're in an exclusive relationship, then why are you still on gay apps? If it were me, me or my bf should've been deleted it once you're exclusive.

This is hypothetically.

Of course, if you're in an exclusive relationship there's no reason to keep these apps around, it immediately casts suspicion on the sincerity of the person keeping them. I personally would never accept it.

There is no good reason for someone in an exclusive relationship to use those apps. The gall of someone in a relationship to actually use it, scum as fuck.

Garbage people who do that want an easy way to get out of a relationship even though they lack all courage.

What do you do if you're romantically attracted to the same gender, but sexually attracted to the opposite (yet still a bit to the same)? I'm very much in love with my boyfriend, but my tastes on "certain sites" is mostly in women. I can't see myself spending life with a woman though, only a man. Expectedly, my bf and I are having trouble with the situation because I have no clue what that means for us.

Aromantic: lack of romantic attraction towards anyone.
Biromantic: romantic attraction towards person(s) of two or more genders.
Heteroromantic: romantic attraction towards person(s) of one gender other than their own.
Homoromantic: romantic attraction towards person(s) of the same gender.
Panromantic: romantic attraction to person(s) of any gender.

Asexual: lack of sexual attraction towards anyone.
Bisexual: sexual attraction towards person(s) of two or more genders.
Heterosexual: sexual attraction towards person(s) of one gender other than their own.
Homosexual: sexual attraction towards person(s) of the same gender.
Pansexual: sexual attraction to person(s) of any gender.

If you wanted to label yourself according to the above, you'd be a homoromantic heterosexual.

i'm such an ashole to my family i fucking hate this ugghhhh

*homoromantic
Or in other words, you are bisexual with a romantic attraction to men only.

That's some hilarious reasoning.

I couldn't let you slide for that one. Calling you out was inevitable.

Also, find someone who loves your love handles.

If you fail your test it would be the real horror.

The thing is though, what the heck is someone like that supposed to do though? It seems like an impossible situation. I'm not asexual, so If I'm with a man, I may end up wanting to get off to women, but if I was with a woman in a relationship, it just wouldn't feel right still.
 
How about polyamory and finding partners open to polyamory? If your current partner isn't and this is a deal breaker then that is a course of action.

Some in your situation might prefer an open(-ish) relationship (or polyamory).

That's the "horror stories" I'm referring to, people failing left and right. Please people don't post "will he curve my 0%?" in the middle of the study questions RIP. That said, my class grade is still definitely going to be good even if I get a 0% on this, but the next part of the final is 45% of our grade and that's in two weeks and that's when I die

Is your sexual attraction to women in everyday situations or is it only in pornography?

I guess both :/ I kinda want to believe though that my romantic attraction can outcompete it. To be honest, half of the interest in women is actually attraction to the idea of being one myself, so that kinda just makes it all even more screwed up if a "trans-element" is in there too :/
 
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

I think my voice has a tinge of the "gay" accent.... fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

edit: Please be honest, do I sound "gay"? http://vocaroo.com/i/s0Gnxz9Wij3Z

I think you can hear it in my voice during the very last line. Also its not a joke, despite me using a copypasta for the recording.

EDIT: Totally misread some stuff. My bad. I think the polyamory and open relationship ideas sound good. Sorry about that. I hope you find a way of working this out with your boyfriend! It could be a situational thing.

Last edit (I promise): Given what you said, the ideas about talking to trans-friendly support seem like solid ones to me. I'm doing my best to send positive thoughts and bravery through the internet.

My voice is rainbow-colored vomit compared to yours, so no, you don't sound gay, even though there is nothing wrong with sounding "gay" w/e that means.

Also, I don't hear any "gay lisp" in your voice.

No, your voice doesn't sound gay.
And nothing would be wrong if it did.

I am 22 years old. Wish I had a deeper voice personally.

You don't. Not that there'd be anything wrong if you did.

No, your voice doesn't sound gay.

There's nothing wrong with the "gay" accent/voice, yeah, but people always made fun of me in high school because they thought I was gay and it made me self conscious that something about me (like my voice) gave it away. So even now I still get nervous that I have some obvious tell.

Anyway thanks a bunch guys.

You have an accent, but doesn't sound gay. Mine sound gay.

Odd since I'm American lol. What kind of accent?

Do you have access to trans-friendly support?

no worries, i totally empathize with that. i talk a lot but i cringe whenever i hear myself on recorded audio :/ i really dislike my voice for that reason.

i asked just because...you sound like an early 20's dude. i'm sure your voice suits you just fine.
