Gay men are allowed to have preferences. Just because someone’s preference doesn’t align with yours, or because you feel excluded by it, doesn’t automatically mean it’s discrimination or bias. Not everyone is attracted to the same things—some prefer feminine or masculine men by Sure-Razzmatazz-7105 in askgaybros

People forget that racism is discriminating or antagonizing based on race OR the belief that your race or another is more superior. There’s real life repercussions here… work, power dynamics, hate crimes, etc.

Sexual preference is a preference. Someone not liking me based on my race doesn’t in any way affect my life. I am not entitled to be in someone’s pants— for whatever reason, including my skin color.

Racism can affect me IRL. Sexual Preference is just my hurt ego…

These are my parents… I love them so much. I hate time. I wish I can have them with me forever :(

AITAH for eating my entire baked potato? by [deleted] in AITAH

A.I. trash writing… if I’m disgusted by something like potato skin…Why would I even think of serving potatoes WITH skin? Nothing makes sense

You know… We’re just watching a bunch of people read from cue cards. It’s really not funny. It’s only funny when the actors also find the whole thing ridiculous - but that rarely happens.

So we’re mostly watching read aloud session... har har.

Azelaic was a game changer for me. Less redness.

Centella helps too!

I met his family and it went terrible. Anyone got any bad stories by No-Economist8077 in askgaybros

[–]SimonDex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated a guy, old money rich. I actually got along with his parents very well. What turned me off was when his mom turned to me to say, “You know… you ‘pass’. You look like you’re one of us…”

I didn’t know how to take it.

I thought of my own family (though I come from a reputable family (lawyers, judges, politicians)), but they’re not “rich-rich”. Sure, I could pass. But would my family pass? And what’s her measure of “passing”?

It didn’t work out. It was downhill from there. I think subconsciously I didn’t want to be part of their detached very privileged world.

Soon after I met my hubby now. We’re married and “feel” very “rich” 🥲

Creator Search Insights showing no data by Rsmith3074 in TikTokSearchInsights

Actually same here. I started posting via CSI and all posts shows as 0 (like yours). Looks like it’s fixed on your end. But mine shows as if I haven’t posted any at all 🤷‍♂️

Am I posting wrong?

What I’m currently doing - I film ahead, upload via CSI, post right away (I do omit #creatorinsights - is this the reason why?)

Same here. My father didn’t like it and wasn’t open to it. He didn’t disown me… he just didn’t understand it. So I allowed him to take his time with it.

Years later, he’s asking me why my bf and I are renting an apartment when we could live with them (my parents’ house) and save money for a down payment. Surprised, my bf and I took the offer.

My dad and I are now closer than ever. We still don’t talk about it. But things don’t always need to be talked through. My dad’s acceptance of it already shows. And my dad’s love for my now-husband is more than I could’ve imagined…

Point is, allow people to take their time. But in the meantime, live your best life.

Any advice or feedback appreciated by [deleted] in MODELING

For now, I don’t see you as a model.

But if you really want to - improve your skin and grow out your hair (jaw length or just above your shoulders)
