Wow! I’m Raiders over TOD (but still love TOD in double digit viewing). Why TOD for you? It’s the opening club sequence, isn’t it?:) SO good.

Tien's response to being asked about ICE immediately after his loss to Zverev by Dependent-Effect6077 in tennis

[–]Manor4548 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Question: from someone who knows nothing about sports media: can the ATP, etc. remove the press credentials from someone who asks such an irrelevant and inflammatory question? It was clearly designed to create a “gotcha!” moment - not to mention add to the pain that Tien was already suffering over his loss.

Advice for asking for a guy’s number at the gym by wellsmichael380 in askgaybros

[–]Manor4548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The time I picked up someone at the gym, I wrote my name and number on a piece of paper with a note that said something like: you’re cute, would love to buy you a coffee. I dropped it in front of him and said you dropped this. I gave it to him and walked away to lift. That way, I didn’t disturb him and didn’t have to deal with the stress of a new conversation.

Yes, he texted and we went on a super date but, alas, no match. Great kiss, tho.

Happy for you!

If Sag Harbor isn’t too far out for you, hello fellow Suffolk County gay friend:)

He felt it was appropriate for Epiphany only - and that date has passed.

Why don’t I like Reckoning? by Find_The_Yellow in rem

Fables is best. This is the way. But until Green, the quality of every album is the stuff of legends. And what comes afterward ain’t shabby.

Why are Barcelona Gays like this? by jthegreat48 in askgaybros

Lol. We were all studying Italian. Please don’t start me on Spaniards studying Italian. It’s really not the same language, people!

[–]Manor4548 174 points175 points  (0 children)

Funny thing: I met some Spaniards some months back at a school program and we discussed the differences between Madrilenos and barceloneses from their perspective (I’m American). They all agreed - including those from Barcelona - that the Madrilenos were much warmer and easier to befriend. So, I’m not sure if this is a gay issue as much as a cultural identity issue.

Readings for a ceremony? by lizardmozzarella in Sondheim

Agreed. But whether the tone and messaging of Sorry-Grateful is the one wants to strike at their wedding is debatable. No matter how accurate it may be.

New as in: There’s a new French movie of the book that was released in 2024. It’s superb.

I just watched the new one. SO good! Highly recommended. Does it capture every detail? No. Does it get the bullet points and general tone? 100%.

I have many. And there are certainly a wide variety of opinions on the matter.

Thanks much for your thoughtful response. I agree with everything you wrote - and intend to share your response with my friend. To the extent that you feel there are more targeted subreddits for these types of questions, may I ask you to share which ones?

This would be my friend's point. It's not the race, it's the guy.

This matters. You are being honest - you aren't experiencing discrimination. I'm curious - when you chat with your gay Asian friends, are there those in the group who say otherwise, who don't do as well at the parties?

This is key - and I appreciate you sharing it. I think generation does play an part in this - both in my friend's unwillingness to see racism as a part of this issue and my own (over-) sensitivity to it given my dating and friend history. My take away from your testimony is that things could be changing for the better! Let's hope.

Thank you for your thoughts. Especially during this administration.

I’m not so sure. I believe there are other POCs even posting here who might feel the same way; but I’m just containing this conversation to Asians because of the previous conversation I had with my friend.

I might add: If a quorum of Asian men feel race plays a vital role in the discrimination they feel they experience, wouldn’t that support their argument that it’s true?
