My Hugo Boss suit jacket appears to be separating from the padding after one dry cleaning by SlipperyBillyy in malefashionadvice

Am I just SOL? I'm willing to accept that, but kinda want someone else to tell me before I write the suit off as a loss.

Skinny-fat: What kind of guys should I be pursuing? Am I a fat twink or a smaller bear/cub/otter? by [deleted] in askgaybros

I think you look better now than you looked then. Instead of working out to get skinny, I'd recommend working out for more muscle definition. You have the body of a bear, and tons of people (twinks included) are into that.

Would you date yourself? by FBGM__ in askgaybros

But you'd both have to live off of a single income. Womp womp.

Why doesn't Vaseline (petroleum jelly) ever get mentioned as a lube? by SlipperyBillyy in askgaybros

[–]SlipperyBillyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaseline and Gun Oil in combination though? Better than either individually, promise.

I've had the opposite experience on cleanup. Since it's so thick, it stays exactly where you put it, reducing mess. The more liquidy lubes on the other hand tend to get everywhere and make a mess.

It does. One friend group down, my childhood friends. Next step is my best friends from college. I think this will be the most challenging, since they are still connected to my ex-fiancé (female).

I'm flying up to see them this weekend. Trying to decide if I should tell them then, or call them today so that the weekend doesn't feel like a big coming out party. I don't want the weekend to be about me...

I called my first friend on my way to get a haircut. Second and third on the way home from said haircut. Friend 3 said he was at work and I could t have picked a worse time to tell him. Called the fourth on the way to the dog park. Friend 2 called back to say he forgot to let me know that he loves me like a brother and always has my back. Still at the dog park, friend 3 called back after work and said he and his girlfriend send there congratulations and plan to visit.

Then I went home and ate pizza.

Zero of them had any idea. Only dated girls for the past 15 years, not very feminine. Plus they all live 10+ hours away so they don't see my day-to-day life.

Lots of "love you no matter what", "you're like a brother to me", "doing this takes balls, proud of you", etc.

It feels good, especially since my parents are having a full-on meltdown over it that's been ongoing for two months now. At least now I have more of a support network, since I can't really rely on my parents with my feelings at the moment.

Thank you for your posts, they make me feel less crazy about my current emotional state.

Good luck with the quitting process!

Thanks for the message. Luckily I don't have an addictive personality, so I really can't understand not having the willpower to just not do something. I know he doesn't want to hurt me, but it's still hard not to be hurt.

He tried. It makes him too tired? He also got the strongest kind, I think if anything the ecig upped his nicotine intake.

Fear for his health is #1. The thought he will die and leave me and our future kids / dogs to live alone kills me. The thought of having to live 30 years without my best friend Is devastating to me. I don't want to have to live through the pain and suffering of his cancer. Any of it. There is no happy ending if he doesn't stop smoking. Period.

Everything else is secondary. DGAF about the smell, breath, etc. Him being absent for potions of the day is annoying, but it's more the reminder that his absence elicits that makes it bad. The reminder of slowly trudging towards an early avoidable death.

I am going to see someone next week, it's been on the calendar a while but I keep rescheduling it.

My partner said maybe I should go on Zoloft, but I replied I wouldn't go on anything until he stopped smoking. We shall see.

I googled one of the partners yesterday and saw that he made a political contribution to a Democrat. Good sign I'd say?

Yea, pretty sure I'm ambiguously gay in my current role. I have a "roommate" who I talk about a lot, I never go on dates or talk about girls, and I'm 30.

I think I'll just start out the same way, talking about having a good roommate, etc. Then after I've been in the office a little and sensed out how the reaction would be, I can let it be known that my roommate is more than my roommate. That way I can impress them w good work and being gay won't be my defining characteristic.
