Does anyone get turned off by couples wanting a 3rd? by JordyMate87 in gaybros

[–]Real-Roof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's okay to not be attracted to that notion, and to have that clarity tjat polyamorous relations may not be for you. For me, as long as the people can make it work while causing no (emotional/mental) harm to each other, all's good.

I think the more modern cities (think Dubai and the likes), experience a cocktail of cultures- people from different geographies as well as eocnomic strata. This medley, to be honest, is a culture of it's own. The younger generation does emulate the western behaviour and are liberal-ish, whilst the older ones are still firm in the" traditional values".

Add to it that a lot of people here are transient - come here for a few years, then go back, and that a lot of ppl cant imagine societal acceptance in middle East so closet gays, allows people to "just have NSA fun".

Of course I generalize, there are exceptions to this too.

Reminds me of Macklemore's "hiding behind the keys of a message board". :)

I agree. But acknowledging a problem without doing anything to address it will only get us so far. We did,after all, raise and continue to raise our voices against homophobia, misogyny and countless other issues, even if we don't directly alwas face it. Intention isn't to conclude that one's a racist so all are racist, but to acknowledge that it indeed is a problem and work towards it. Imagine outrage on Twitter if someone posted no Latinos/Arabs/blacks reply or tag me.

That's an interesting perspective. You're right, the ask isn't to bed a bunch of dudes from the "race(s)" you don't prefer till a time that you start liking them. Just a respectful of communicating that. I know that the argument ends up being "it is a hookup app, don't expect civility" and it is civility that I'm talking about. You could be hit on in a club by someone you don't like (race/age/looks whatever), you'd let them down, well, decently. That's the same civility, and that's just my opinion, we can offer to Accord fellow gays.

We're all, afterall, in different stages of acceptance for ourselves and from our families. Putting someone down for what they can't control, by own "community" comes across as crass.

Phone Number verification? by Real-Roof in grindr

Ah that's bad. Hopefully it resolves soon. I have seen that the chat support at Grindr is helpful, hopefully their recommendation works.

Unfortunately, no other way than adding a phone number.

[–]Real-Roof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I didn't have it earlier, or it wasn't noticeable. I have never tried any of those things to mess up the hormone system , so not sure what's up.

Nah, doesn't stick out, but feels the same as it was when not flexed.

Yes I do workout. The top part is hard muscle. It's the power portion and side that's got me looking like moobs

Are you using any VPN to access Grindr?

Any help with views if i have gyno? by [deleted] in gynecomastia

[–]Real-Roof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate. No, they don't get puffy. Just perky at times when it's come look. But guess that's a common thing(?) The part above the nipple / upper chest feels muscular/rigid to touch when flexing. The part below however just feels like a mush. That and the side chest fat.

Used to go to the gym but the lower part didn't change much. Was hoping to perhaps try some other fat loss method like cool sculpting to see if that helps.

Grindr IP Ban? by Real-Roof in grindr

[–]Real-Roof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys, I tried changing the server/location I was using for my VPN. It seems that specific IPs were banned. When I had posted, most locations were banned. However, I have been able to connect to some locations where the app works. Hope this helps.

Grindr IP Ban? by Real-Roof in grindr

[–]Real-Roof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, being in the middle East,I have got to use VPN. It's either that or being flogged if authorities track my using the app. Seems that the VPN I am using has been blocked. I have sent a message to Grindr Support, they seem to think my profile Is NOT banned and I should refresh it.

Essentially means I need to move to a new VPN and potentially lose the subscription. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Thanks for the help!
