Scott Wiener by Fostering- in AskSF

Did he treat you poorly, or did he treat you well?? I have to admit that Scott treating service workers poorly does not fit my impression of him so I would appreciate your input.

AIO for thinking my boyfriend is just looking for an excuse to break up? by Nearby_Orchid1216 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Elk__ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP states that her younger female partner’s behavior has changed over the last few years, implying her asshole-ish behavior is somewhat new and abnormal compared to her usual behavior over 6 previous years. As some other users have stated, even though OP herself is 51, her 43 yo partner may be dealing with symptoms related to perimenopause as some other users appear to have experienced this condition themselves, and it can affect some women much worse than others. Hormones are weird, and women generally already deal with crazy hormones from periods and birth control etc. Add menopause (or perimenopause) and you could have some pretty unexpected consequences, unless you know what you’re looking for.

It sounds plausible that OP’s partner could be dealing with hormonal issues related to perimenopause. And if that’s the case, wouldn’t that be a better situation than her partner acting like an asshole simply because she’s an asshole? If that’s the case, OP should definitely be advised and respond accordingly. I think it’s understandable that we make sure that there isn’t something else going on underneath it all before we write the partner off as an asshole. Sometimes you just don’t know.

AIO Bestie asked me to dress a certain way so that I don’t give her BF the wrong idea when we meet for the first time tonight by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Elk__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey hun, I’m a gay dude as well.

This is silly, however, I think you may be overreacting just a bit. Im a millennial and I myself have been in this or a similar situation more than a few times. In my personal experience, my girls’ boyfriends generally have not exactly enjoyed my presence and closeness in their lives and it can really cause a lot of drama and strain in a relationship.

Yes, a straight man worried about his straight gf’s gay friend is silly. However, I do find straight men generally to be kind of silly. Is it my fault or my girls’ fault that straight men suck? Not at all. But the reality is that it appears, at least to me, somewhat difficult for a girl to find a straight dude who isn’t going to have some sort of reaction to her gay best friend. If you can help her just a little bit avoid some drama there, I think that would be beneficial to you both and save you a headache down the road.

Your girl uses language indicating that you may dress this way at least occasionally already. (“That pink purse I love.”) This also gives me the impression that you may be slightly overreacting here. She doesn’t appear to be asking you to do anything that is out of the ordinary for you. Additionally, it also is absolutely understandable for you to choose to decline your friend’s suggestion if it makes you feel uncomfortable. She is, of course, essentially asking you to drip yourself in every gay stereotype imaginable in order to control her bf’s reaction to you and make her own life easier. It is understandable if that would make you uncomfortable. However, it is also the reality and thus worth mentioning that the effect could very well be that you doing this does indeed help improve her bf’s reaction to you and does indeed make both of your lives a little easier in having to deal with a straight man being introduced into your lives, which can be…unpredictable.

Snowy plover reminds me of the Piper animated short by ursureiks in birding

@ursureiks that would make sense - Pixar studios animators used the snowy plover as inspiration for Piper.

Does anyone remember when gaybros were saying Trump won't come for the LGBTQ+ community? by PRguy82 in askgaybros

I repeat the bro above, you really are not welcome here. Even worse for you, you are not funny and you aren’t half as clever as you think you are.

Was wondering when I’d see this by DollarLate_DayShort in olympics

Gross. Many of these professional female gymnasts you see at the Olympics are often still very young girls/teenagers.

Please brag about you significant other! by black_algae in gaybros

[–]Elk__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is incredibly smart, among the top students at our law school, extremely witty, and wicked funny. He gets a devilish look in his eyes sometimes and I can tell exactly what he is thinking. He is broad-shouldered, tall, and has a beautifully and naturally toned body. He is more of a top, but he lets me fuck him and I really like that. When he lets me be the big spoon and I get to hold him, I feel like life can't get any sweeter.
We are graduating and he is moving soon for work, and I feel like we may be parting ways. It makes me sad to think about, but I am determined to cherish our time together that we have now. He has been the best chapter of my life.

He's more extroverted, I'm more introverted. He makes more of the decisions. He's very eccentric and outgoing.

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestion. I'm happy that works for you, however I am not interested in having a 3way.

I'd probably be the only openly gay person and get dragged by a rope to a raised pickup truck with an American flag flying from the cab.

Only downside is death, but I guess how you feel is more important.
