Where is that from?!

hi gays!

hi!

and yeaah stevie i want that ringtone bad

so I got my first cold in 14 years from a sick trick.

sarge, his boyfriend, and I hung out last Thursday. I don't think Beyonce came up.

my boyfriend met my parents this week, for the first time. my parents are super cool though, it was a good time.

his family is more fractured than mine, both as it surrounds him and his sexuality and in general. he thought it was extremely weird that we were going to hang out with my aunt and uncle, who i eat dinner with every time i'm home. the concept of hanging out with his uncle or cousins was very foreign to him.

also we blew each other in key west, which prob qualifies as the gayest thing i've ever done in my life

oh hey, right on cue

xp

did you like it? I ask because...I'm not sure I did the first time.

surm just drop it into yr iTunes and then connect yr iPhone and sync and u r good 2 goo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo OO-OO-OO OO-OO-OO OOOOOOOOOOOO

Hi gays. Broke a three-month stretch of "away from boyfriend + no sex" last week. There was bluetoothing. I'm in Mexico City now

hi everyone. i'm moving in with my bf in three days. i haven't started packing yet.

damn, nice

yay, and what? start packing, no?

all these things are fallout from that NYT Mag cover story on bisexuality, right?

lol I can't read that til April, my "10 free views" expired

and nothing! i haven't started packing because i procrastinate.

also it's time for NYC gays to go to baseball w/ me again.

No colds in 14 years -- are you a vampire, Sot -- oh...

I got'em down to one a year. This one comes as a result of contact with either a niece or the Venezuelan exile I met last Saturday.

goon, did you have sex with the bluetooth?

lex!

brb, I'm going to go see a Fritz Lang film with Kurt Weill songs and Sylvia Sidney -- how's THAT for gay?

I've never actually had proper phone sex, no. I mentioned I think that I had aborted Facebook chat sex a couple weeks ago? That was weird.

I am I think dating someone who is 55 and I'm moving in a week and I'm not moving in with him but my new apt happens to be 2 blocks from his so there's that.

damn i'm def trying to date a dude in their 20s when i'm 55

I have a pension plan in place for that purpose

That or I plan on running for office on a platform to repurpose the military as such

I'm guessing you only collect major interest on your investment if you sock it away while you're young.

my financial advisor was very persuasive

He's a fashion dude who like used to be a design director for a huge brand and also helped Yohji Yamamoto open his first boutique in NY (oh and also walked for him in Paris in '89) and he is super energetic and has impeccable taste and gets rly excited when I play him Björk remixes.

It is kind of like living in a weird intergenerational Instagram photo

y'all have seen this guy, right? he is 100% the hottest

how many björk remixes are there, really?

yea i'm still doing this thing with my fashion dude who is 22 and it's fun, we talk about models and designers and listen to songs too

hey great thread title btw

it's been years since i did any sort of telecom sex but i used to enjoy it quite a lot, both phone and chat

who wants to cyber *undoes top shirt button*

yea i've definitely been known to dabble

and my designer's out of town so i'm a little concerned about a relapse

how many björk remixes are there, really?

anyway, enough about me back to y'all

i hope eventually i will stop feeling the urge to date altogether

― clouds, Thursday, March 27, 2014 10:44 PM

this is me

now

no, plz markers, go on if you wish. also are u dating?

xxp oh well

haha no i am not

and haven't been for a long time

ok. i'm not sure where you are, but the more importrant question is do you have a nice apartment?

i do i do!

I'm moving to one in a week!! It's my first solo apt, y'all!!! 1 bedroom with an eat-in kitchen, on site laundry, claw foot tub, etc.

well, I'll be happy to inspect mext time i'm in Philly

also I want a new cheaper apt for July, lmk fellas (pref Bklyn or... Queens)

My apartment is gorgeous. It even boasts a red leather sofa.

stitched from several pairs of Bryan Ferry pants

(if further away, it needs to come with a job and a generous healthplan for my preexisting condition)

xxp

I need to pick a chaeap time to come to Miami, Alfred

Hey Markers! I went straight-bi-gay-back to bi, so if you're still trying to figure out where you stand, that's totally fine. Fuck it, I still am. My advice though is don't wait til you figure all that out to resume your love life. In fact, getting some real world experience, even under less than ideal circumstances, was very helpful for me in figuring out what I ultimately do and don't like.

On another subject, I have had so much telecom sex in the past six months (usually at least a couple times a week) with my gf, never done that with anybody else tho.

Markers you could just be queer, that term is v much in vogue these days and also v convenient

I mean it is basically just, like, "I am not 100% hetero, I think", right? I like "queer" a lot

Stevie, at the bear happy hr in DC, guys stand around drinking from PITCHERS! THEY OWN THEIR DRUNKENNESS.

Owning your drunkenness used to be known as alcoholism.

owning your drunkenness used to mean you had a bar at home.

brb washing my two boston shakers

I had sex w/ this really hot guy just now and it was so boring. Like not even that the sex itself was bad, but I think I am just totally bored w/ sex. After 20 minutes I was just like goooddddddd please leave so I can go back to playing video games.

maybe you should try sex with not-hot guys?

jeezus the abs on the actor playing Hotspur in Henry IV Part I last night were amazing

xp we'd had sex before and it was really intense and sweaty and lasted hours and this time I was just like done w it. Afterwards he was telling me abt how he just spent $600 on plain white dishes and had 5 tv's and gets bored with his living room furniture every few years and buys all new stuff and the worst part is that he seemed to think this sort of thing sounded appealing.

A big reason for my chastity is I can't deal with what comes out of people's mouths afterward. Last night I hung out with a homo, first I'd seen in a couple weeks, we drank pisco sours and split cigs all night. At the moment we was leaving to go to sleep he said the nicest thing, just a little "I think you're great" kind of ego-booster, end of story. A+

A+ indeed! I love hanging out w/ homos and not having or talking about sex.

Exactly!

Well, "talking about" sure ...

I'm working on a hookup for maybe next weeekend. He's around my age so at least it could be potentially illusion-free.

I'm sure you could at least pull a coin from behind his ear.

I've long felt that there needs to be some convention where you can tell someone "I just want you to know that I think you're awesome" without it being weird. Something like the "Say something nice about another ILXor" for real life. There are a number of people who have been mostly around the periphery of my life lately that I'd really like to say this to.

For me it only really penetrates when it comes from surprising sources. Happily my bf is stingy with his praise. Stevie D I am playing Braid now this game really gets sick-me.

hi, goon!

I blame my narcissism on the fact that not enough people have told me they think I'm awesome.

just want to quickly acknowledge rev's post upthread. (thanks stevie too).

right now i feel like it kinda wouldn't be fair for me to do much w/ a girl, given that i'm leaning towards probably ending up identifying as gay maybe, and honestly i'm not even that interested in dating, but who knows. thanks for the post!

I can attest that identity and a drive to date are two very different things.

Last night I ended up making out with a super qt Japanese exchange student whose gender I could not determine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

after they literally opened the club back up for us!

sweeet

after they literally opened the club back up for us!

― The Reverend,

resist jokes

About 20 of us were leaving another bar and looking for an afterhours spot but when we got to the place we thought would be open, it turned out they only did afterhours on Friday/Saturday and were closing down for the night themselves. About an equal number of patrons who were exiting that bar but not ready to go home ended up commingling with our group and suddenly they had like 40-50 people outside demanding to be let in, so they opened it back up for about 90 mins or so, which is where I met my androgynous new friend.

hey quick shoutout to simultaneous orgasms in 69 position for being awesome & kinda hilarious

ooh! wow

achievement unlocked

it's wonderful when that happens isn't it?

goal for weekend

(ok, lifetime)

in other fun news the one half of a couple my bf and i have messed around with as recently as last month texted us that his partner tested positive for gonorrhea :C haven't noticed any problems but gonna get tested asap.

minus the first "the" in the first sentence.

think i'll remain celibate

clouds the good news: very treatable the bad news: you gotta tell partners now and they can get pissed off

gay men aren't always so good at suspending their judgey personas (like all human beings?) and the hypocrisy in these situations can be hard to take (the "you did this to me" narrative doesn't medically correlate to which partner got tested first, they might well be the vector or you might well be the vector but all too often the messenger gets slain anyway)

oh man! Good luck, clouds.

i think i'll go to a party called *be cute* this wknd

I'm with markers. It'll be hard, but I think I can do it.

Also, clouds, I may be in Chicago in mid-June and it would be fun to grab a drink sometime!

i can't even really talk about my stint with ~intimacy transmitted illnesses~ last year

still recovering

take care of your fucking health. that's all i got.

still recovering PSYCHOLOGICALLY that is

oh man. ok i'm not leaving my house. (hope you're . . . better, at least)

I AM

... SASHA FIERCE. no jk. yes my body is all good, minus the 5 pounds that i need to lose.

no but really, it's not that scary out there. being open and asking questions is always good.

so my friend lives with this really hot roommate named Kevin (straight). he's straight out of American Psycho. i'm talking FACE. the whole package. he's a total guy and says words like pussy, i think. which i guess is a turn off but i wasn't turned off. maybe bc he also PLAYS THE VIOLIN and SINGS. apparently he occasionally drops in my friend's room late at night naked asking for condoms. and sometimes they sit around together and read. one gay man, one hetero, both reading.

the end.

one gay man, one hetero, both reading.

Pretty much all I want out of a friendship, really.

Also, clouds, I may be in Chicago in mid-June and it would be fun to grab a drink sometime!

absolutely!

I’m in Rio, went at 1am with a friend to go to a dance party. We went up to the top of this favela that she assured me was safe-as-anything— still was super-new to me and a little scary. We got patted down for guns when entering, lots of gangsters around. I listen to baile funk but this was crazy music, brilliant vocal stuff going on. The only two people really dancing were a couple of tricked-out faggots with fishnets and full make-up and hand gestures and twerking. One had darts in his leggings around his scrotum so there was like an extra pouch around it, and his flapping balls were part of the twerk. They were the centre of attention (my attention anyway). My friend told me that at these sort of parties there are two different types of homo: “gays” and “homosexuals”. Gays are the types of guys that you invite because they will bring the fun, bring all their girlfriends and dance all fabulous all night, like these two dudes that held our attention. Homosexuals are undesirable regular dudes who just want to stand around, blend in, have a few drinks and then suck cock, i.e. me. I had a good time for a couple hours at least, the music was just amazing.

I know him!! He is a radical faerie and before I almost entirely loathed that scene I sat at a table with him for a brunch thing and he was so magnetic and great to have at a brunch. I think we talked about Baby Face with Barbra Stanwyck.

I managed to deduce that my boss is a radfae after I had a hunch.

omg please find out his name

like his fae name I mean

off-board

When this guy that you really, really like who really, really likes you back tells you "You are so Daisies with a shot of Velvet Goldmine" I mean that is like omg this guy seriously gets me, right? Am I in love?

as long as you're not "Daisy with a shot of Buchanan."

THIS "shot" of Velvet Goldmine?

Hey gays, the new Ira Sachs NYC-set film has a scene shot at Julius' bar! First one I know of since The Boys in the Band.

There's an Oscar winning short to be had from this scenario.

thx guys, I feel well actually but the drugs are too head off the nasty numbers i'm not feelin' yet.

too close to the John Hawkes-Helen Hunt sex therapist movie, E.

Sorry, Oscar-nominated.

morbs if you wanna get out of the house next weekend we should def hit a game

k man, but the NYY-Angels tix are pretty pricey cept for the damn Sunday 8pm game no one wants to go to.

true. mets then?

let's see

cuties

it's really warm here all of a sudden, making me painfully aware that all the t-shirts i currently own make me look like baby huey (winter weight + slight gym gains)

saaaaaaaaame

So climber's forearms?

is that a cocktail?

I wish my life could stop and be replaced by three months of GTL. My skin is so pale and my arms so weak (and my clothes so dirty)

I had to look that one up.

i wish -- i'm still not happy with the state of my forearms, but my biceps seem to blow up before everything else, which makes me look weird

i went to am. ap. and got some mid-thigh length shorts; wore them out and now feeling slightly self-conscious.

xxp

My forearms are decidedly bigger and more domed than my biceps and have been ever since I started climbing all those years ago.

Trying to tan is the quickest way to make me look not fresh and not clean.

things one learns from looking at xtube: that a lot of men masturbate openly on underground trains in south and central america.

TMI

I have two sick days, dead in bed. What does a sick gay do? Today I took a Nyquil and watched "Persona" lol

it does have a subliminal erection in it iirc.

I'm not sick, but I would LOVE to take a Nyquil and watch Persona.

Watch Almodovar

Things get more relaxing when you look like shit for 30 years, and haven't been to a gym for 25.

Also I took steroids the last 3 mornings that resulted in 7 hours sleep, total, the last 2 nights. Not tired either.

(prescribed obv)

I think if I got a train and someone was openly masturbating I'd just run away in fear and confusion

^ same, and would probably have the same reaction if someone cruised me in public

i saw a dude openly masturbating on the CTA once but it, uh, wasn't like an erotic xtube video

was it a Singertwink? (gd, which Sunday game, boy?)

I feel like the only person who's never seen someone masturbating/exhibiting on public transit. Which is fine, actually.

I did see an older man surreptitiously taking video of a high school age guy on the train once. Pretty creepy.

what gaylxor goes sockless to a ballgame in 56-degree NY weather? U KNOW

if it's the one I have in mind, he also goes sockless in 96-degree weather.

work it, rev. love that. x

last night attended the kentucky derby themed spring party for the artsy gay mag my friends publish. there were juleps and giveaways and prizes. i made a fascinator out of yarn and made little rosettes out of ribbon and stuck it all together with hot glue. i took 3rd place in the hat contest. later i entered the 'pony ride' contest, which involved grinding up on a hobby horse to ginuwine. i ended up winning, less because of my dancing skill than because i was only 1 of 4 people game enough to participate. for my effort i was awarded an njoy pure wand, which is 1.5 pounds of surgical grade stainless steel designed for prostate stimulation. i haven't had the opportunity to try it out yet but i so own and use other njoy devices so hey. lucky me.

will the last person to close the last gay bookstore plz turn off the lights

that's very impressive sailor!

speaking of winning, i didn't win much last night - i went to a Mariah Carey themed night at a gay bar in Manhattan and the guy i ended up hanging out with skillfully swiped my debit card off me and made out with over a 1000 dollars before putting it back in my blazer pocket. pricy night, and no bottle service.

:o

What the fuck!!!!

New York is always knowing where your debit card is

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

ugh that is awful, i'm sorry

thanks. i think i got mickied too. i pity the guy.

How do you go 26 years with initials that spell "suck my dick" and not realize it?

took me 27 to realize mine spell "reverse jumbo gape"

I do think you should sign off all emails "SMD" from now on tho

goon tie, my friend Simon played "Julia" near the end of my club last night. IT KILLED. Dancefloor mayhem! He mixed it into DrumTalk's "Time" then into that classic Onyi Ayhun track (OAR 3B). He was planning to play The Knife's Heartbeats as his last track but we got shut down/switched off by the steward :( but also :D

I realized in college mine spell out "F."

man for me

i had to buy new underwear and i have decided to make the switch to briefs, at least on a provisional basis for the summer.

also not to be too much tmi but i am v pleased with aforementioned steel toy, highly recommended for anyone looking to self administer a nice vigorous prostate rub A+++ would plug again

whoa did you used to wear boxers

i used to wear boxer briefs exclusively but they have let me down too many times.

would plug again

i went to the larry levan block party yesterday, it was just about the gayest and most wonderful thing i've ever experienced

extremely jealous, the few photos I saw looked pretty amazing

i can't do briefs

I can't ever hear this as anything other than coded "I'm above-average size."

lol

for me at least it's about crevice comfort

as a man of well developed legs I am glad to give up thigh coverage for the summer if it means avoiding all the riding up & bunching

I don't have massive thighs and I still get annoying bunching from boxer briefs. For me, they're intolerable.

yeah i have some boxer briefs i can't wear in the summer but something about pure briefs has never felt right to me

They're merely the least of the evils in my experience.

i dunno maybe it's the brand new underwear talking here but I feel pretty nicely uh packaged at the moment

http://www.legallyblondethemusical.co.uk/_global/images/news/upsguy.gif

I'm all about boxers but my bf thinks boxers on a gay man is a waste of a perfectly good gay man (which I guess I am?). It's a regular source of contentionin our relationship.

how so? if you want to be gayer, you just TAKE EM OFF.

Boxers were the most comfortable back when I wore baggy jeans. Now there just ain't room for that extra fabric.

I feel like I'm getting a little tmi in answering this, which I wouldn't care about if I were only tmi'ing re: myself, but it's a waste when your "thing" is slutty underwear.

bcz you are wearing skinny jeans? xp

should i go see Outrageous! tnite if i can stay awake?

http://www.ifccenter.com/films/outrageous/

bcz you are wearing skinny jeans?

Exactly.

http://www.fashionbelief.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Black-Skinny-Jeans-Guys-333x500.jpg

Things that look hot but I wouldn't wear. Hey, just like slutty underwear!

it takes a lot to really fill out a pair of boxers so i can definitely see how they might be less visually appealing than other options

not saying anyone has to run out and get those weird porny butt-window jock-brief things but at the least something form hugging is always appreciated imho

I wear briefs with skinny jeans or if I know I'm not going out.

except if one can see sexy underwear, I WANT IT OFF

That's always been my line of thinking, but different strokes, I guess.

My skinny jeans aren't as skinny as that pic, FTR. I am, after all, not 19 years old.

the problem with a trick wearing briefs: greater possibility of seeing treadmarks.

i'm not really into slutty underwear either, unless briefs are slutty?? and ive unknowingly signaled my slutsiness??? o no

xp On their upper thighs?!

Srsly, I never go out without a pair of Andrew Christian irregulars.

woah woah, nobody is talking about like white jockeys are they

are tighty whities #normcore?

yep

xpost

I can't even imagine wearing white before or after labor day south of the border.

DON: Well, yeah.

fyi I bought "fashion briefs" in an array of sporty solid colors thx

I find navy blue the most appealing color.

I once wore boxer briefs the same color/pattern as my argyles :/

navy is flattering on nearly all skin tones iirc

Ditto hot pink.

dont get yr hot pinks in a honeybunch

i kept meaning to look up who Larry Levan was

― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Monday, May 12, 2014 10:00 AM Bookmark

Morbius!

I strictly wear boxer briefs, I need the combination of coverage and support

He knows who not knowing who Larry Levan was will annoy most.

Just like I know who not knowing who Larry Kramer was will annoy most.

IS!

he's some guy with an HBO movie I think

I read the RS account of that block party and yes, way too gay for me, plus I was at a Mizoguchi triple feature.

a man hit on me after i borrowed his sunscreen

the median age of that party was like.... 45 probably, it was a great vibe

IS!

Mission accomplished.

i love boxers. and boxer briefs. and briefs last.

boxers are just rly comfortable. plus i think they're cute. kind of don't mind that i'm the only gay guy who seems to wear them anymore.

and guys don't seem to mind either so

I don't care if boxers are cute. They are incredibly uncomfortable imo. They always end up riding up on one side and it feels like I'm straddling a rope.

boxers are cute in an innocent way but i could never wear them

i find it all depends on the cut of the boxers and the pants in question. i have really well-fitted boxers that aren't baggy. but of course if i'm wearing a super gay outfit i go for boxer briefs.

yeah i guess i don't mind looking kind of straight (at least underneath). being middle eastern kind of does that to you.

They are incredibly uncomfortable imo. They always end up riding up on one side and it feels like I'm straddling a rope.

Yep. The extra tucking.

Right. I only got time and room for one tuck.

my old boxer briefs are starting to choke my legs o_O

i think it's time for boxers/briefs pics. c'mon it's almost swimsuit season!

we all need to be ready anyway!

You reminded: this was Miami's first serious pool weather weekend.

spraaaang breeeaaak

more like sprung break am I right

spank break iykwim

I saw John Epperson aka Lypsinka present this film at the IFC Center last night... I don't love it -- as Dave Kehr wrote, it should probably be called Cute instead -- but Craig Russell's drag performances are high-end, and the views of Toronto and the far West Village circa '76 are grimy.

Epperson also said Cybill Shepherd asked him once "Why don't you do me?" and he refrained from saying, "Honey, what is there to do?"

i have not been out dancing for what seems like a thousand years and i need to go dancing wicked bad

I'm really excited to attend Flip Phone in NE Mpls this coming Thursday. It's Mariah night.

the sensation of my extreme dance-want is something resembling physical pain

like blue balls except for dancing

u can always dance by itself but it's not the same, never as satisfying as when u do it with a skilled partner

lol hueg sorry

thought I was pretty slick working on my tan by the pool

but my frogbelly-white studio cavedweller body got burnt like waffle house bacon

*sad trombone*

why do the heathen sunbathe

My sunbathing days are so totally over.

in Miami you're always sunbathing

my legs are desperate for sun as evidenced above

farmer's tan/freckles >>>>> all-over golden tan

i am going to get my golden glow on this summer with some malibu and magazines and the hot brooklyn sun. this is very new territory for me; the summer and i, we don't necessarily go way back.

but i'm Lebanese and i tan like nobody's business. so i might as well give it a try.

http://www.cancer.ca/~/media/cancer.ca/ON/prevention%20and%20screening/be%20aware/Tan%20free%20grad/tanfreegradlogo-ON-EN.jpg

let me rephrase: for ppl who aren't prone to tanning, slight sunburn is def agl but i am also v much down w/ the brown.

yeah, skin cancer history on both sides of the family

+

fragile redhead skin

+

tattoos to preserve

+

hatred of sunburn pain

I'm not a kid anymore

I'm trying to decide if I should go more Hannibal Lecter or late '80s MJ with my protective sunwear

late '90s that is

http://mos.totalfilm.com/images/1/10-most-mental-movie-scientists-00-420-75.jpg

i have a history of vitamin D deficiency in my culture so while i won't be tanning i will try and get outside more. usually i'm pretty much a bat.

oh man sorry 2 braggadoccio but that was the funnest weekend of my life and it had a surprise gay ending

went to Maryland DeathFest on Friday for seven hours of black metal, played a Matmos show with OPN in Brooklyn on Saturday and then DJed a rad afterparty w OPN and Bj0rk and Triangle Records crew, then went back to MDF in Baltimore on Sunday and in the middle of the moshpit for Mutilation Rites I spot this blonde/ginger tattooed Viking-looking muscle dude that I used to hang out with back in the day in SF and one thing let to another and we left the fest to go have a lil moshpit of our own at his hotel

fun fun fun

now I'm about to get on a plane to Brussels, high on lyfe y'all

that is just... AWFUL

you'll be high on Leffe once you get to belgium.

something something about "that's where I'm a viking" xxp

oh, and: he had a black eye at the time

which I confess I sound super-hot

lol

well no shit

Never accept a rose from somebody named Rose on opening night!

tabes, i miss u, when ya gonna come east and read?

Last night I went to a Housing Works reading/party full of Tumblr youngsters and had a nice chat w/ underrated aerosmith albums, so there's that.

then today i ran into surm justlikethat

actually talked to a hot dude at a bar last night, friend of a friend. need to see him again someday and pounce.

summ summ summatime

ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh two black gay men who were friends of friends were murdered the other night in a neighborhood I frequent

http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2014/06/04/both-victims-of-the-double-homicide-on-sunday-were-reportedly-gay

saw that on yr fb, Rev... it's still an ugly world, goddammit. sorry.

has anyone done more to make gay boring recently than Neil Patrick Harris?

James Franco.

xpost

He seems like a nice guy with a nice boyfriend and nice kids and, well, it took me three tries to get through his recent Rolling Stone profile.

Mr Out / Mr In

xp

tbf, if I were a gay celebrity, I'd probably be a really boring one myself.

but you have the good sense not to be one!

Stevie D and I are listening to music together. DJ Sprinkles, K-S.H.E., tUnE-yArDs (first album, please), Charming Hostess.

Man I love the first tUnE-yArDs record, sounds like Solex if you took away her record collection and left her instead with only a mic and a looper and the memory of her record collection.

at 8 a.m.? How lovely. Have a mimosa on me.

to be fair I was on a bus to work and he was in like Antwerp or something but y'know the magic of technology, etc!!

happy birthday to the Rev!

time to think of summer thread titles

<3

hey guys, how's everybody's prostate these days? good i hope!

Are you coming on to us?

;)

So the boyfriend was supposed to be staying out of town tonight so I was going to take the opportunity to go out dancing in my own -- he doesn't really dance so I was looking forward to it, it's been a long time. Now he's changed his mind due to weather and is staying home tonight and expects us to do something together and I'm annoyed -- but it's not his fault, he didn't know I had plans yet I'm feeling resentment all the same. Ugh.

can't you tell him you'd already made plans?

A few months ago, I started volunteering for an LGBT support line and a few shifts ago, I had a shift with another guy that I got along with a lot and obv I have a crush on him but me being shy and all, I didn't get his number and he's not on FB or anything. Fast-forward to a few nights ago, I found his OKC profile and he has a Prince reference in his profile so now I don't know whether to play it cool or just propose to him now

I didn't even have a real plan, I was just gonna bar hop until I found something fun, I don't feel like it'd be fair to just blow him off for that xp

like "sorry babe but I want to go to some gay bars & you can't come with" nah i can't

I feel maybe I need to make a higher priority of doing stuff I enjoy on my own, probably wouldn't be feeling as disappointed if i did that more often

don't do it tonight but in the near future tell him you look forward to that kind of time for yourself and want to mix that option in. doesn't he like going out on his own every once in a while too?

*does* he

it can be fun to compare notes ime

he will go out with friends of his from time to time, as do I, but we do a lot together -- which I enjoy immensely, because he's my pal and i love being around him. but idk i feel like i need to declare more time for me myself & I in a ~self~care~ sort of way because this emotional reaction im having is way out of proportion right now

possible aggravating factor being that i grew up with dad who was a bipolar narcissist who constantly changed plans at the last minute but hey whateverrrr :/

definitely should be some courtesy shown abt how last-minute changing of plans affects yours.

and if you still want to go out, it's healthy to make a statement and go for it imo.

:) thank u for the validation, matt, im sure ill manage to have a good time whatever ends up happening, im trying to remember that relationships are continual projects and the mine / yours / ours boundaries are shifty things, as it ever was

yeah

Murg, talk to him about it b4 u regret it for the rest of yr life

alright bitches, i broke up with mine tonight. and good fucking riddance.

sorry that was disrespectful. i don't even know. but right now i'm 75% sure it's not working out. i officially want to apologize to dr. morbius for being a cunt to him when i don't even know the dude. anyway.

shit, i'm sorry man. what happened?

http://www.out.com/entertainment/michael-musto/2014/06/16/12-worst-types-gay-men

I'm #12 if I'm any.

#12 is the majority population in bars

I know sadly too many who fit #6.

#13 -- Gays who can't take criticism.

they forgot: "creative" homos who are so busy they never have time to hang, but insist you come to their dj night/gallery show/drag queen revue/etc etc

i.e. the entire under-30 gay population of chicago

I seriously dunno what kinda of homo I am. Prob the technology kind simply by virtue of how it feels like I never leave my house anymore, though I'd like to think that'd be different if I actually, you know, went out and socialized with people.

I'm #14: ice queens.

(Oh, and Corey, I had to postpone my Chicago trip to later this summer. Just didn't want you thinking I spaced you out.)

not with me you're no queen

I am on the cusp of booking a SoCal trip I really can't afford for the first half of July. (Rev, I will still be here for part of yr time in NY.) Where y'all going?

uuuuuuuuuuuuugh a homophobe on twitter blasted my pics to his 31k followers but fuck em I look ***flawless

Noooooo that is awful

Chicken + waffles seems like a poignantly gender-fluid follow-up meal

that sucks rev. did you report the ringleaders? cuz that's straight up abusive right there. do you want them to be called out some more or do you want it to die down...

I reported everyone who tweeted at me or tweeted my pic and blocked everyone who faved or RTed.

Rev that is shady as fuck, I am way sorry that that happened :(

That OUT article basically seems to list the same type of person over and over

Right. A gay person.

Jenni Olson picks a LGBTQ film canon of 25 (I did not know about The Watermelon Woman til recently).

http://www.fandor.com/keyframe/the-essential-lgbtq

That sounds all kinds of messed up.

I know I prolly shouldn't bump this thread for a few reasons:
(1) I've made an ass of myself on ilx in very real and concrete ways
(2) I've tried to bump the gay threads before saying I would stick around and I totally failed at that
(3) I've been a dick to people on ilx and on the gay threads before
And
(4) I've made an ass of myself with people from ilx irl before
BUT
Here I am anyway because? What's the worst that could happen and
I miss it. So. Who's still alive? Did anyone keep this tradition going? I'll search new answers now too.

Hi surm. I like your chutzpah. I have done all the things you listed. Ultimately though why not keep on stumbling on.

I’m increasingly gay with each passing year. Last year my beard turned 1/3 gray in 6 months. 2018 was a rough one, 2019 is already better.

I miss hordes of p town types all in a giant room singing along to whatever they sing along to now BUT i’m still enjoying a pit stop in a tiny town. Tonight the stars are just so clear it looks somehow extra-dimensional.

:-) thank you for your kindness and i'm glad you posted. did i know you five years ago? was it the same username and i've forgotten? all the mistakes i've made.... i regret them deeply, but stumble i will. i'm glad to hear 2019 is already better for you than the shit show that was 2018. i am finally beginning to feel that way too. i can totally relate to the beard.

are you on a road trip?

Hi surm

I like that you bumped this thread because it reminded me of the happier days

omg hiiiiiii!!! i'm glad you like it. how are you?

I don't know!

I did an orchestral arrangement for Christine & The Queens today for her appearance on the French Grammies, that was fun. The song is "La Marcheuse" and it's a really beautiful song

My bf wants to cheat on me, which is interesting! I am getting a cold sore rn so I think I'm going to give him my blessing, the cheater's blessing, go enjoy strange dick while I ointment my lip

ha! ok your day sounds truly wonderful, i hope you feel proud AF. and i guess you and your bf have never done the open thing?

It's kind of imposed upon me. He fucks around and I'm having to learn to deal with it. It's odd! We have such a great sex life but his wandering eye is a constant. Considering how previous relationships I've had have been devastated by cheating and/or lying-about-cheating I'm trying to grow up and live with it

My week has been strange. Somebody who owed me an apology, but from whom I never in my wildest dreams expected an apology, called me and apologized a couple of days ago and I started crying a lot and that was a good thing

i miss y'all

xp that's a beautiful thing. that happened to me once and it changed my life, i'm still in touch with that friend and her apology forever changed our lives.

i would say.... you're definitely not a child bc you prefer monogamy. easy to forget that in this day and age when everybody's open. i think it's important for both people to feel like they're not giving up too much.

clouds!!!!

Hi clouds!

I would prefer monogamy, but I love this man wholeheartedly and if he wants to fuck other men then I want to meet that need, rather than have him sit around wanting to fuck other men and resent me for imposing boundaries on him

totally hear that. we've been open for years--in fact my boo just got home from a date--so i feel you 100%.

clouds how's life?

surm, I missed you making an ass of yourself on ilx in very real and concrete ways, sadly! lovely to see you! and clouds!

good morning!

surm, I wish I ran into u in ft greene more often

Jed, that's so nice to hear for some odd reason! Alfred! Morbz! Morbz it would be lovely to grab a drink in the neighborhood soon. I hope everyone's off to a relaxing weekend.

surm, I hung out with Morbs and j0rdan last Saturday. Wish you'd been there.

Hola Surm!

PLAX I WAS WAITING FOR YOU
Thank you for being here
Xp Alfred that sounds excellent. Jordan has always been a true gentleman. I remember the time I ran into him at a club in NYC, I just wanted to put him in my pocket like a lucky penny.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/id/thumb/6/63/L28835.jpg/220px-L28835.jpg

<3 <3 <3 plax what will you do today?

now that we've all met for virtual brunch, surm, can you start a winter '19 gay thread?

omg im stuck in a library writing an incredibly boring essay about the use of research evidence in public policy.

its raining.

I'm also in the library and it's raining.
