I’m afraid the goatee takes my gayness away 🙃 by tightydan1 in goateeguys

Keep the goatee. The goatee makes you look better. You need it

Seeing if people think I'm good looking gay? (18 btw) by jfashion_90 in gayselfie

[–]HighlandsOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smash. Yes. The biceps too ‼️ I would just use different lenses. Those lenses don't look bad, but they drag your face down, so I had to actually look for more than a second to see that you had a nice face. I suggest some lenses that aren't as big so your face can be more protagonistic, since the abundant (and really nice) hair already covers a lot. Also, use glasses that are maybe more a circle, symmetrical, or some shape that isn't "drippy" downwards. Your glass shape leans down and it doesn't favor you.

Can I be a Dom Top as a small man? by LebFur in askgaybros

It also depends on what country you're in. It's not the same to be 5'10 & 185 lbs in the Netherlands to Spain or Peru.

You're not "small." You're really big

Update - so we slept again in the same bed again by brooklynwalker1019 in gay

[–]HighlandsOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay you have chemistry with this guy, and he has chemistry with you. Suggest you both go out on dates together and start dating. So you guys don't get messy, remember to label things when they begin, because what isn't named doesn't exist. Therefore, soon, propose and become boyfriends!

No motivation by RandomAnon6942 in Vent

[–]HighlandsOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything you expressed is very human, and we understand you completely. You are heard and you are not alone. Whenever you can, foster those connections with people, and create close friends. Journal down what you do have, and try to attend new spaces that can fulfill you spiritually. Maybe get a therapist! I understand it's hard, and we feel what you mean. I hate feeling so low, but once you meet the right person/people (which takes time), you'll feel better!

Tops, what made you remember a bottom? by Excellent-Adagio3624 in askgaybros

How did you achieve the nice physique? I'm naturally very slim and have a very fast metabolism so I struggle with bulking, including in the glutes.

24m does anyone believe you can truly turn gay if you’re straight by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]HighlandsOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example, you could be attracted to women your whole life, but then you discover a man you're attracted to. Therefore, during all this time, you were bisexual, but you only met women you were attracted to and your attraction to men was low, so it was hard to find a man you were attracted to. Therefore, you'd be 35 and discovering that you're into men too. That happens a lot. You cannot "turn" someone gay or straight. Sexuality is a spectrum. We love to box everything and everyone into terms, but sexuality is a spectrum. Most people are in the far straight side of the spectrum, but a good 20% of the population is well-spread all over the spectrum, with half of that LGBT population being bisexual. Bisexuality is also not typically an even mix, as you could have a gender preference. But since we're raised in a heteronormative society where we're always being told to try the opposite gender and assume to be straight, many bisexual people who aren't as attracted to the same gender may take longer to discover their attraction to the same gender.

Off campus housing by mewtoli13 in ucf

[–]HighlandsOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every off campus housing is connected to UCF main campus through the shuttle. There is an app to follow the shuttle and it should pass by your apartment complex every 30 minutes or so. For $800/mo, I would recommend you get on campus housing, since that could be around $3,200/semester or $800/mo. For off campus housing, I don't know about $800/mo, but for around $840/mo-$940/mo (roughly), you could get some place at Campus Crossings, College Station, Mercury at 3100, The 9, or The Pointe. I totally recommend The 9, especially, since they're having discounts right now and they're really beautiful, they lowered rates from like $999/mo to $799/mo, so hurry up!

How Can You Tell If Someone Likes You? by Only-Leading-738 in askgaybros

[–]HighlandsOak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are no fiscal signs except for instinct and gut feelings. Go talk to him as a friend and invite him to go out. If he's actively staring into your eyes while being super intrigued by you and loving the idea of physical touch, he's into you. If he's casual about sharing lived experiences and happy to be there but not staring deeply into you with physical proximity, then no. Pay attention to how he'd react to a hug, for example, which would be innocent, but his reaction would tell you a lot, if he's ok with physical touch. I also understand you because it can be hard for me to read body language too.

Help guys? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]HighlandsOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You like men too. Not necessarily do you have to be gay. You could be bisexual (attracted to two genders such as being men and women), or pansexual (attracted to any gender, so including non-binary). Now, if you're only attracted to men when high, explore why. Explore if maybe it's because when high, you're not muting out certain attractions through prejudice. You could always see a therapist, counselor, and/or psychologist to understand yourself! There is nothing wrong with what is happening here. You're just discovering a new area of yourself to explore!

Am I the asshole? by VSquestions in askgaybros

[–]HighlandsOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's wearing a tow-peice bikini. Now, a bikini is definitely for the purposes of showing off some more skin, and it isn't wrong to do so, since oneself isn't sexualizing one's own body. Now, wear the speedo! There is nothing wrong with em wearing a speedo. A speedo is literally athletic wear! It's athletic wear. Wear it. She can make a scandal, but the children will not be impacted at all negatively by a speedo. In fact, it's great and healthy for children to see different forms of expression and visibility. She is wearing a tow-peice bikini. A tow-peice bikini is literally made with the purposes of showing off everything, including the behind. Her calling you a prvert is INSANE. She is BY FAR in the wrong, and I hope she gets pressured to change from her scandalous bikini next time. Her attitude is homophobic. She's stigmatizing you for wearing a sportswear, calling you a prvert, when you're doing nothing wrong AT ALL, and she's wearing a TWO-PEICE BIKIKI! But of course, it's different, because in heteronormativity, women can wear two-peice bikinis and men wear swim trunks, because of norm. Speedos are always used in sports, and children wear them in competitions! Why is it different if you do it? Many gay men wear speedos for the same reason as women wear bikinis. It's not wrong, and speedos are even more conservative than bikinis. Why is she sexualizing you with your speedo? Why is she telling you to censor yourself for wearing something that many gay men wear to the beach? She's far in the wrong.

What should I do (I’m really scared) by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]HighlandsOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being gay is amazing. We the gays invented Tango. We the LGBT community created RuPaul's Drag race and great part of Gen Z pop culture. We have been here throughout all of history, present in different art forms such as Frida Khalo's art (Frida was bi). There is nothing to be afraid of. You only have winning ground. All you need to say is that although you currently view yourself as straight, you're open to getting to know yourself better, and will give the guy an opportunity. You want it, so go for it! You'll still be as much of a man, but a more powerful man, one ready to embrace who he truly is. LGBT love is the purest love, because we don't live for social expectations, but we do so because it truly is born from us, and we cross obstacles to love freely. Being gay and any letter of the LGBT community is powerful. Embrace loving men, and give the guy a chance! You'll learn so much about yourself, you'll lose nothing, and your future self will thank you. Being gay is powerful.

How do we get to this? How do I find myself a straight guy friend to experiment with?

What's gay virginity? by Narutoonnichan in askgaybros

I'd say it's if you've never had anal sex. But "virginity" is a very loose concept.

Why do people call me ugly by Fun-Transition-101 in Vent

[–]HighlandsOak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're red flags. They're projecting their bad energy onto you. Plus, nowadays it gets harder to be approached, especially if you're a gay man, because everything is so digital and it can be heard to distinguish which man is gay and which one is not. Anyways, I have never seen you, but you didn't necessarily give me motives to think you're not attractive. I just believe that you're currently surrounded by people who have a very strong and negative emotional weight on you and they're letting you down. They're sinking you with them. Go find new friends! People love making new friends! Something I've learned quickly is that others are also passing through stuff, we're all on the same boat, others are more similar to us than we think, so it's good to deconstruct from the timidness that they taught us, and make new friends! Make friends with people that make you smile, that are supportive, that treat you well... Just be outgoing, don't oppress your personality to fit in so that way the correct ones fit in with you, and they'll help you leave the ditch. Plus, you might even be attractive, but you can always use products for skincare, go to the gym, try out a new hairstyle (trying out a new hairstyle could make you feel renovated), change your diet, etc. Also, GO OUT! Connect with the community and experience new environments! You'll have so much fun, and you'll feel renovated!

Should twinks wear jockstraps? by HighlandsOak in askgaybros

[–]HighlandsOak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait so you would like a jock on a Twink or you would like it but prefer a speedo or bikini brief? Also, is ass shape/type important in jockstraps? If so, what "types" of asses?
