I know I look a few years older, but that's just par for the course when you're a total shut-in
*pat pat* it's okay.

And not writing it? shame.
Basically yeah. It comes after our year 11 and the first year's for people who are 16-17.
The term itself is from an older education system we don't use anymore.
Also everyone should watch this
I dunno, to me, their commentary has the same power as random insulting bathroom stall graffiti. I don't know who they are, don't care to know, and they can be secretly rubbing one out to my pictures while simultaneously mocking them on voat for all I care. If there was a list of people that affect my behavior, random assholes on the internet are at the bottom.
I can understand the hesitation, but honestly feel that people shouldn't let random douche tools hold power over them.

There was a porn site I went to where people submitted their own photos, sorta like Tumblr, but in the 90s. Wish I remembered the name of it, probably long gone by now.
Sean Patrick Live and Bedfellow helped out as well.

I've been traveling a bit in the past day or so and occasionally checking in on this thread to see all of the wonderful photos. It's been a highlight. Thanks for being beautiful, lettersGAF.

I was on GAF before Google became a thing. Webcrawler was my bae.
Promo for iamamiwhoami's new project.
Oh memories of Altavista and one minute long downloads of what would now be considered small images.

My fond memories of listening to MIDI files of Nine Inch Nails and Final Fantasy songs.
It's not complete without your selfie though.
When are you gonna do the honors?
Giving a poster a face is refreshing, can't help but wonder what that person behind the keyboard looks like.

I always like putting a face to a name.
Back in the olden days, mandatory schooling was five years for children between 11 and 16. In those days, the years were called the first form, for 11-12 year olds, second form for 12-13 year olds and so on; ending in fifth form for 15-16 year olds, where O Level exams were taken. Many schools offered 2 years of further qualifications called A Levels for 16-18 year olds, and these additional years are the sixth form, split in to upper and lower sixth. So 11th grade would be the equivalent of our 'lower sixth'; but unlike American 11th graders Sixth Formers could be expected to already have as many as 11 academic qualifications.
Nowadays, O Levels have been replaced with GCSE qualifications and the first through fifth forms are known as Year 7 through Year 11; as a continuation of the Years 1-6 that make up primary education. Many schools however have kept the sixth forms under that name, because England is weird. It's not uncommon for people to eave their high school after year 11 and study A levels at a different one, or at a specialist 'Sixth Form College'.
All of this, presumably, made sense at the time to whoever was in charge. I hope.
Well, this is the country that brought us poundage and shillings so I'm not exactly surprised.
I'm just glad we never adopted it.
At least we use metric like the rest of the world
How does your dislike for open relationships express itself; Is it more like "I, personally, don't want to be in an open relationship" or "I think all open relationships are bad"? Because if it is the latter you have disparaged (even inadvertently) his relationship and I could see why he would be upset.
I mean this could just be a simple case of miscommunication where he thought you said something or you formulated yourself slightly clumsily.

Time for me to start chiming in instead of just lurking this thread so I'll be officially join gay gaf.
Anyway, in regards to the idea of misunderstanding I had a guy try and claim that with me last night. Long story so I'll try to give the brief version of it.
I'm 26, working on my Master's degree while also getting more experience in my career field in HR. This information about me helps in the story.
I had a guy hit me up on Grindr last night who lives 70ish miles from me inquiring about getting to know me for relationship potential. Kinda red flag there for me, but I'll keep chatting with him. At one point he asks me if I would ever consider moving if I met the right guy. I told him it wasn't unthinkable, but right now my focus is on finishing school and getting more HR experience so that I'll have more options available to me. He is 3 years older than me.
So basically he starts insinuating that this isn't necessary and I should just fine a guy that will take care of me. I told him I want to be able to stand on my own with my own professional career and not have to completely rely on my partner in the events things turn sour. He then comes across as very judgy and starts stating that finding a solid partner was more important than furthering my career and that when he was my age he was already making six figures but money isn't very important to him (then why mention it was my thought).
Anyway, after that I told him that he had basically insulted my short term and long term plans, insinuated that what I was doing wasn't important, and suggested that I become his trophy boy and be completely dependent on him. I told that it would be better if we just end contact here as he is not at all what I'm looking for. After that he became even more derogatory but I won't go into that.
Basically I needed to rant about this, so if you made it this far thanks for reading my horror story from last night. This is the first time I have ever ran into someone like this.

Rayis bb, you can use the email command if you don't want someone to see you, that is not part of Gaf.
He has issues. You did good ending the conversation there. It's never good to depend on someone, especially financially and in a relationship. Perfect recipe for disaster. He also seems desperate.
Kudos to you for putting your career first.

Yeah I thought the same but I think I was clear about me not liking them for myself.
I do have my reservations in general about open relationships but if everyone is happy I don't care, I guess my issue is with him specifically, he has been having a rough time lately with his own issues and rocky relationships, and I mean I have had to get him home after him having panic attacks out of nowhere, that kind of thing. So him jumping so suddenly in this open relationship with a girl kind of raises for me a red flag, I'm just telling him to take things slow.

I have High By The Beach stuck in my head all the time and it's chilling me out. First day of classes who?
*sigh* the 90s. I actually had to do the walk of shame to the (not so) nearest sex shop and buy VHS tapes there. stupid me also made the ultimate mistake of scratching off the labels, which basically screams porn tape! although, I wish I could've seen my brother's face, when he was expecting some hot guy-on-girl action and the girls never showed up.

Try having your porn tape getting stuck in the VCR. I panicked so bad thinking I'd have to get my mom's help but I managed to get it out without damaging the VCR or tape.

Try replying to me and you'll hopefully find two photos from the same day, taken about 5 months ago. A friend took them of me (sorry, not selfies). One is absurdly large, so I apologize for that. I'm generally not a photo person and never take selfies, so I apologize if this caboose isn't a perfect fit on the track.
Please tell me if I didn't hide them properly. I'd rather they weren't publicly viewable.

The first image is removed but you look great.
Awesome photos.
Oh, oops. I think it should be fixed now. Sorry about that.
You have a nice smile and beautiful eyes.
The first one though. You look so nice and cheerful, kind of as expected as it would be. Love it!
Lmao absolutely this. I took whatever scraps I could get back then.
