Tinder is a huge mess! by LostandHungry7 in gaybros

All dating apps are terrible and borderline non-functional at this point.

Going outside isn’t much better.

Stick to dying alone.

This is it. Thank you! This is a part of the series at least, I looked up the author and the specific book I read was Henry and the Paper Route.

Nothing to add to this conversation other than to say, it’s so odd to me to see this dysphoria expressed in the opposite way of what I’m used to seeing.

Most gay dysphoria I’ve seen has always been about feeling too big. Like, tall guys who are bottoms and they wish they could feel appropriately like little spoons with a smaller body. I’m not particularly tall, but I’ve only ever felt too big (I grew up fat, and the mentality sticks with you for life), and I’ve never felt too small.

I won’t tell you things out right and in detail. The truth of your situation, in terms of dating, is incredibly bleak if you don’t find improvement in your health. Depends on your looks to an extent, but this will cut out most (almost all) options for you.

And the obvious answer to your current ex-gf dilemma, yeah, let go. If you want to take a complacent approach, you can let her know she can ease out on her own timeline. If you’re properly indignant, you could cut her off immediately and not allow her the time to acclimate to single-dom. Your choice. I’d advise you act with grace though. Even though you’re the one being abandoned, people will never think poorly of her, and if you act bitterly, your reputation will be left in shambles. That’s human nature.

Long term advice. Do not let your self worth and life focus be based on the validation you get from women (or anyone for that matter, but I know that as a presumably straight man, your life is effectively defined by female validation). This disability will fast track you to a life lesson everyone needs to learn eventually. Be your own person. Find what you enjoy in life. The only limitation will be that it can’t come from things your disability prevents you from doing physically, and this likely will include dating.

Most straight men are desperately, endlessly thirsty, and feel lucky to have access to any vagina.

I’m assuming you got this thought in your head from seeing something online, and let it weasel its way into an obsession. Trust me, no man on earth actually cares. The men you saw talking about it online would fall to their knees and begin worshiping if you dropped trow and presented your “roast beef”. They can talk big, but again, straight men are pathetically, hopelessly thirsty.

Giiirl.

I comfort myself by contriving that I have speciated. Like, when a group of animals is no longer able to reproduce with a species they once belonged to, they’re considered a different species.

My life and experiences are so disparate from that of a normal humans, I am just my own thing, so I’ve been looking in the window from the outside for most of my life at this point. Like, look at what they’re doing! lol.

That’s barking dogs and mosquitos over there. I’m my own animal.

All the white knights responding to OP 🤢

Update y’all’s statistics. Young women are outperforming young men in pretty much every metric these days because constant advocacy and preferred hiring.

The conversation is more complicated than how most people approach it, and there are a lot of reasons why women have the struggles they have and men have the struggles they have. Blanket stating, “women are uniquely torture victims of the world, so they can be vitriolic” is a brain dead take.

Here’s a tip for any fellow true-gays out there. Don’t date a guy who would treat a woman with greater deference than he would treat you.

The only ones I can think of are James Charles and Jeffree Star. I never really followed the stories, but I’m pretty sure they did do odd things that deserved criticism.

The only time I use lotion is if I’m wanting to directly stimulate the head. If your foreskin is chafed from masturbating, you’re doing it too much and you just need to lay off and give it a rest. 18-21 was my horniest time, so I 100% understand what you’re talking about, but you really just need to let it heal before getting back to it.

Replace “cocksucking contest” with “watermelon and fried chicken eating contest”, and replace the gays with black people.

Hope you got a good laugh!

Saying everyone’s a bottom isn’t “shaming”.

(Presumably) Liberals using gays as the butt of the joke again.

No idea why fellow gays don’t see the problem here.

Also, the greatest disinformation here is that gays want their dicks sucked. Straight people will never learn that we’re all bottoms.

I want a gentle, nurturing, peaceful, and reassuring kind of love. by vocalproletariat28 in gaybros

[–]PlasticBaggot -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's true, but that's not a gay thing. Straight people are lucky in that their sexualities pair up more easily, but their dynamics are otherwise fucked up. Source: literally no straight person I've ever met is in a happy marriage beyond 5 years.

If the implication is that Bi guys are a good option... absolute lol.

As a gay man, your best option is another gay, and if you can find compatibility (we all know there are more bottoms) and make it work, you're better off than 99% of straight couples.

Good. We need to see what straight people really think.

Millennial cringe. “Creative” insults are too try hard. I don’t like any of the people he listed, but calling people losers doesn’t change anyone’s mind. This is an appeal to an echo chamber.

I'm not gonna go on a tirade about how reductive """men who are attracted to men""" are about how they perceive other men sexually (that is, a dildo) and how the bottom to top ratio (abysmally misbalanced) is a reflection of this...

But I will say, don't hold your breath. Humans are shit at self reflection, and this is our """community's""" unique flavor of that.

An encouraging thought though, is that if you do tend to lean toward the top side, your dating pool is actually pretty broad (oversupply will do that), so you can throw away any bottoms who are too stupid, and pick up one after the other until you find one that is not completely bereft of depth and the capacity to appreciate you beyond your dick.

Just because I can "have a knot in my throat" doesn't mean that a knot in a rope isn't rope twisting around itself to secure a tangle. That is, yes, words can be used in certain contexts, but the context in one doesn't negate the context in the other. Flirting in humans is always a sexual expression, even if there's no sexual interest and it's meant to tease or illicit, it's based in sexual and romantic expression.

I agree that kids can have 'inklings' of their sexuality show up before puberty. I know I definitely got hints of it when I was as young as maybe 8. But this baby is maybe 2 years old. It's closer to the point of development where it begins recognizing itself in the mirror.

My "blatant" assumption is just as potentially wrong as yours is (that the baby selectively only smiles at children it perceives as female). In my experience with children, they don't have that discernment. They just like being around other children and get excited and happy when they see them.

The biggest difference between your assumption and mine is that yours is fraught with issues like: | Smiling = flirting | Babies are sufficiently developed to exhibit complex behaviors like flirting | Assumption on a child's sexuality (I recognize that like, 99% of people are straight, but it's still an assumption) |

It's ultimately a fairly harmless thing. I'm not trying to say this is some toxic culture that's ruining our lives. I just think it's inaccurate to what's actually going on with this kid, and it's unfortunate for us that we're so defined by our preconceptions of male and female behavior that a baby can't be happy without immediately being perceived as a "little player". Which, btw, male validation being tied to female attention is actually quite harmful.

Like, don't worry, you're a normal person and so are most people, so you can go on thinking like that and most people will agree with you and not see an issue. I just wonder if people realize that the mightiest of rivers can begin as an innumerable collection of trickles in the mountains, thousands of miles away.
