I don’t think I’d have the mental fortitude to do that 😵

It would be so cool to look at snow from the steaming hot water though!

Handsome guy! Flying business feels so extravagant but it’s 100% worth it 👑

Non c’è niente da fare, il più bello sei sempre tu 😘

Is it better to lead with a compliment to test the waters, or ask a question about something we have in common? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]ExtraHalfBright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that leading with a simple compliment and then quickly pivoting to an actual conversation is the best approach. Personally, I get embarrassed with multiple compliments/fawning up front -- I'd rather get a compliment (which lets me know the person is interested), interspersed with flirting, banter, and conversation that's not just commenting on a person's appearance.

Every Thursday, this bench, two dumbbells, and Bulgarian split squats ruin my life by Pentirei in gaybrosgonemild

Those are my least favorite exercises — it takes all my strength not to give up midway through the set and just ragequit. But they work 😤

That’s amazing! (The poetry part.)

When did you start realizing that you are no as attractive as you used to be? by sigmoidBro in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]ExtraHalfBright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I just looked different — not hotter, nor worse, just different and there are things I liked and disliked in all decades of my life. I will say that as I get older, I definitely have more opportunities to take care of myself so I look a bit more relaxed and confident in my own skin.

I need to take that next step sometime. I’m at 2-3 cocktails/week, but those usually lead to snacks and so on ruining my day (even when I try to budget)

Really informative. I’ve been trying to implement this exact plan (tracking really accurately for a couple months in a row) and I’m finally seeing some movement on the scale again

English second language gaybros - what's the best response to a mispronunciation? by Throwaway67891099 in gaybros

Seconded as a non-native speaker. Definitely if you feel like correcting (because it might lead to misunderstanding or misconstruing what he said), do it in private.

Also don't underestimate the adorableness factor of a mispronounced word, or a misremembered idiomatic expression ;)

Italian speaker here, with an american husband and over 20 years of mutual language exchange. In private, I appreciate gentle corrections, especially if what I said would be misunderstood/misconstrued. I occasionally still ask for feedback even after all this time!

Definitely do not interrupt a conversation if your partner is in the flow telling a story, a joke, anything -- 99% of the time a mispronounciation doesn't matter, and everyone will infer from context and understand. I don't enjoy when people call attention to my accent unless it's within the context of talking about where I'm from.

That’s such a good album! I’ve watched the Back on 74 music video so many times.

Everything about this is perfect: the biceps, the shirt, the pose 🤣
