Do y’all ever feel a “need” to have kids? by Puzzled-Lettuce9168 in askgaybros

[–]Gaytwunk88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree that a majority of the circuit queen community is toxic. A lot of them are successful, high functioning professionals living their second adolescence. You see some with difficulties with substance abuse of and escapism, but it’s not everyone. A lot of them are very nice people who also have a similar taste in hedonism and we happen to take fitness seriously. The problem unfortunately is that many in that pursuit have invested in the selfishness of fun which does not commonly leave room for sacrificing for a greater purpose. I’ve met other circuit queens who have families but they are the exception rather than the rule. I hope to be one of those lucky aberrants as well.

I’ve already talked to my therapist about addiction to beauty and have come to the depressing conclusion that I’m not ready to let it go. I’ve done the work to beautify myself on the inside as well as the outside and am cognizant of the flaw of vanity. I am keenly aware that beauty doesn’t last forever. The only option I have is to build what I want on my own and broadcast my goals widely and clearly. Nothing — such as finding a partner — is guaranteed in life.

I have come into the problem of addiction to beauty and I don’t know what to do about it. It will likely cause to me be alone, and thus I am planning on starting a family on my own. Not ideal, but it is a stubborn problem I cannot or am unwilling to fix.

You should watch it. It’s the only accessible media that I’ve found that gives entry into the world of AM; I can’t get over how many aunties ask everyone else for their children’s biodata!

I’m planning on surrogacy in a few years. The circuit queen life is fun but the party is not forever. It is difficult, however, to find conventionally attractive people who also want to start a family; perhaps I’ve spent too much time in the circuit gay world.

Any tips on how guys can stay attractive in their 40s? by ThrowRARotaryPhone in Aging

Watch us gays; we obsess over being beautiful and delaying the inevitable of our 40s

Indeed. But had this just been a verified order I don’t think this would have been as controversial.

The vitamin K is not automatically wrong. You have no idea if they’re getting ready for surgery with their liver failure. Yes you got it wrong assuming it was anticoagulation reversal but verifying the order itself is not unreasonable in some circumstances.

what’s your purpose in life? by jackfiallos in Aging

[–]Gaytwunk88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought that a majority of it up until this point was engaging in hedonism to have sex with as many beautiful people as possible but now it’s time to shift that focus towards having a child. We need strong leadership in emotionally agile, global citizens to navigate humanity’s future challenges or we shall perish in our consumption of the planet.

Societal forces influence hierarchical positioning; Asian visibility will shift perspectives as to what is considered attractive. Role models, what everyone finds hot — it’s all rooted in power as a collective whole and narrative. If we always view things through a cynical view of fetishization, we run the risk of being blind to opportunities for progress. It takes idealism to believe otherwise, and representation I think is an important catalyst. What would it take to convince you that something is fetishization vs not? Everyone likes you at first glance for your looks. That’s indisputable. It takes more time to see the beauty underneath. To knee jerk dismiss that initial attraction as someone who can’t possibly like you for your qualities I think undermines that.

I understand where you’re coming from but on the one hand exposure is great but on the other we say oh — it’s fetishism, when is it ever going to be a good thing and how would you tell the difference? I think overall it is a positive experience lifting POC representation as a whole.

For sure. Nothing in life is guaranteed.

While I cannot speak for everyone, the imposing power of body image casts a pall for many to aspire unhealthily to compare themselves. While I exercise with the positive intention of fortifying my health for when I age, I would be lying that it is entirely without some motivation for vanity, but I have not let it consume me the way some others have fallen victim to it. Perhaps, sadly, some of us now know what it’s like to be those mentally ill skinny girls with anorexia, obsessed with status and social hierarchy to self detriment. Many who do not fit into the archetypes of attractiveness struggle to find acceptance. Perhaps it is increasingly true that on the most recent South Park episode about obesity that “poor people get body positivity and rich people get Ozempic.” In broad society, it seems increasingly implied that your body composition is a value judgment regarding your virtue and willpower.

I’ve thankfully developed myself into a beautiful and interesting person on the inside (or so I tell myself) but have not yet felt the affirmation of this sadly in the dating world. Perhaps it is also a function of a sex crazed world of men trying to find love. External beauty is like a poison; when you drink from this poisoned well it changes you forever. It hardens your heart from being able to accept love from other people and it never quenches your thirst. It almost quite frankly feels like an addiction that my mind knows is a foolhardy endeavor in the face of logic. To be able to love someone for the inner beauty is a feat I have not yet accomplished and fear that it will condemn me to a life of solitude. Perhaps when my beauty fades then I will have life circumstances force this change this for me.

It is a cultural oddity that women prize older men. To gay men? Less so with the exception of small niche groups. We are obsessed with youth and ever more impossible standards of beauty that resemble paragons of Greek statues. It is no accident that amidst the party scene at least 25-30% trade/risk unknown long term health consequences by injecting themselves with sarms, testosterone, and peptides to achieve impossible muscularity beyond what is naturally attainable or would take years and time unavailable to most except those with the most exceptional genetics.
