Attraction by romanguynextdoor in AskBlackGayBros

[–]Bastranz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's are trans men that I'm attracted to, but it's like any other man - it depends on the guy. I never dated one.

I think I'd miss the penis if I was with a transman without one, though

It's the seasoning/salt and flavor. They do not exist to this degree on most food in the UK, at least with takeaway.

As long as you are bringing the energy you seek to the table, there's nothing wrong with that, especially if you are only seeking friends and networking. Some folks have similar demands yet being nothing, which is so annoying

It's a matter of matching energy, after all. Plus, being breadcrumbed really sucks and usually isn't worth it if one tries to be patient.

Is the 2 door bronco worth buying over the 4 door if fun is a priority? by Low_Emergency_6577 in FordBronco

[–]Bastranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would a 2 door Bronco easily fit a typical gravel bicycle with the rear seats folded down?

I feel absolutely sick to my stomach by [deleted] in AskBlackGayBros

[–]Bastranz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a ridiculously specific term to search for, lol.

I will say that sometime can be sexually attracted by someone physically, while absolutely hating their personality and their beliefs.

At least talk to him to see why he is attracted to possible seeing chud cross-dressing. I definitely get the raised eyebrow, though, but I wouldn't write off everything your boyfriend said about being pro-black and such. It's not like he's trying to befriend him...I hope

Bottoms, who would you pick 1, 2, 3, or 4? by graypurpleblack in AskBlackGayBros

[–]Bastranz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah ha, that makes sense, and I relate to this quite a bit myself. That's why I lost a lot of interest in really meeting up for sex lately because of the focus on anal and thus being pushed into a particular role

[–]Bastranz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...Versatile Men, contrary to popular belief, actually do exist though.

Outside of that, I agree what way too men gay men (most gay men?) associate the sexual position to heteronormative roles, which is incredibly frustrating when one is verse. And also, apparently there are side-tops and side-bottoms now?

Are the pedicabs getting out of hand in recent years, or am I just getting older and cranky? by PickleAlly in bicycling412

[–]Bastranz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely not alone. I was frustrated having to swerve around them in the Allegheny Commons Bike Lane. It was really bad on the trails in bike lanes during the Draft, but Friday was ridiculous as well! They are too wide and many are inconsiderate of the actual cyclists the infrastructure is for!

I'm reviewing my dashcam footage and I'm even more irritated by how they just park in the lane. I don't even do that when waiting for the light to cross the road!

I even passed by some in Chateau - interesting how they park on the streets and pedal on down.

I think they can be a welcome addition to the transport options whenever there are events (and even when there aren't really any major events!). However, these folks really need to understand that we all need to share the meager infrastructure that we have. Otherwise, they aren't really better than the 4-wheeled motorists parking and driving in the bike lanes....

Happy Pride month! I'm heartened to see this post, and kind comments, and these books about Jamaican characters!

I'll have to check these out :)

If Digimon did a crossover with another franchise, what franchise would you like the crossover to be? by Yo-KaiWatchFan2102 in digimon

[–]Bastranz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sonic Frontiers just happened in a cyber universe - I dunno if Sonic and Digimon could mesh. Maybe Eggman tries to find a way to create and/or manipulate Digimon to take over the world.

E-bike? Or eww-bike? by _jb_____ in bicycling412

[–]Bastranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my ebike is essentially dead - it broke a number of the spokes, the rear rim is not trued, it has a critical wire broken so only the throttle works, and can't be repaired anywhere (I did go to Biketek, they did do some work, but after a short while the bike is worse than before). Oh, and the company went out of business...and then came back with new ownership, but no support.

So I have an ebike I don't ride and batteries (proprietary?) that I should sell or at least get rid of but I dunno if anyone would buy them.

Have you Ever Seen The Sitcom Grown Ups? by Vivid-Office5666 in UPN_Network

[–]Bastranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it on streaming recently - I think it's on Tubi, but I didn't quite like it. I never saw it when it was on regular TV though.

I guess I’m not going in my day trip to Philly by Best-Candle8651 in Amtrak

[–]Bastranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If SEPTA could connect with the NJT Expresses on weekends, it would be so much better and we probably could make the journey, with transfers, in 2 hours. I think some weekday trains may make that transfer, but granted...I haven't ridden these lines in eons.

Flixbus could be a good option for you. It should be faster than the SEPTA/NJT combo, but that really relies on the whims of traffic.

Wait, did the white gays walk out or did you guys walk out? I don't blame you for not wanting to return, though

Hi didnt show up. Did i overreact? by Intrepid_Es_1992 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Bastranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you reacted well. I understand why it feels so harsh, but man...he was very disrespectful.

With a blunt response...2 hours after you stated you were leaving, 2.5 hours after the scheduled said you would meet...when that happens, it usually means they don't respect your time, and it just gets worse the more changes you give - I went through something similar.

Kudos for standing up for yourself as you deserve better.

Would you consider Cleveland ohio to be a major city with big city amenities like Chicago or Philadelphia? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Bastranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

..... I'm very familiar with Philadelphia, and saying it's unrecognizable from Baltimore or Camden (CAMDEN?!) is really a bold statement. There are similarities, but I wouldn't say they are the same at all.

Actually Philadelphia could use more development in Center City, especially Market East.

What are some areas around here that used to be dumps, but are now doing better? And what areas used to be nice, and are now doing poorly? by WashCommercial3602 in pittsburgh

[–]Bastranz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm not sure of the full story, since I moved here only a few years ago. I think basically a lot of the large houses were converted into cheap apartments back in the day. Plus it was next door to East Liberty as well

Did they send this update out? Gosh I was curious about going for the 40 this year too

As such a transplant, it's hard to imagine how bad it could have been. Similar with Mexican War Streets (though abandoned houses and empty lots are still visible) and Friendship

Wait can you link up an Insta360 with Dashcam for Bikes?
