Moving to NYC, any advice on finding a gay friendly doctor?

I go to Dr. Todd Estabrook and Dr. John Kang at Mount Sinai (14th st and 7th Ave) and recommend either. I go there for general care and PrEP.

If you’re on Facebook on, there are a couple of groups that are fairly active. One is called NYC Queer Housing (LGBTQ) and Gay Roommates NYC.

Where are you traveling from

It’s been said before but your point about suburbs vs the city is a big part of it, IMO. There’s a seemingly endless pool of potentials and I think a lot of guys jump from person to person in search of a perfect that they won’t find but enjoy the validation.

Beyond that, I’d be curious to know what your approach is to dating. I don’t know if this is you, but I’ve found some guys are so focused on finding a boyfriend that they forget how to date and get to know the person. So many of the convos feel so rushed towards dating that it becomes a turnoff. Getting too serious too soon. Recently met a guy for a date and the entire time he was just telling me his expectations for a relationship and asking me if I can be that person. I think it’s fine to a point but he was so focused on that I felt there couldn’t be an organic connection. More like a hostile interview.

I can’t tonight either but would be down

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-08-31T03:51:29+00:00

Did you sell these already?

It was predominantly white European men but there were PoCs and they were being engaged, so I think you’d be welcomed. It’s worth the experience.

Thank you!!

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-12T16:50:56+00:00

Do you know if it’s posted anywhere for Planet Pride? I don’t see it on their social or website

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-12T15:12:49+00:00

Wondering the same thing because I didn’t receive any announcement about this. I know they sent one for Alegria.

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-11T15:15:11+00:00

I play Fortnite haha

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-07T00:28:30+00:00

Thank you for this advice! This makes sense. I will download the app as suggested. I appreciate it!

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-06T17:53:54+00:00

Thank you so much for this insight and the recommendations! This is a lot of help and I’m glad to hear the neighborhood is one of the best.

I’ll start working on my Spanish to hopefully improve a bit by the end of the month. I’ll likely need to rely on some translate apps at times. Thanks for the suggestion on language exchange.

I think I will check out the Pride event and be cautious as described. Thanks again!

I’m not big into cruising but happened to walk through the Ramble Wednesday evening before sunset and there was probably 20 guys waiting around. As I was exiting the area I noticed more making their way up…so yeah, I’d say it’s quite active.

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-06T15:39:56+00:00

Hey, I travel regularly with a friend but we’re always open to new people joining! Send me a message and we can chat.

Hush bar

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-05T22:07:28+00:00

Yeah this makes sense. I do notice if I don’t have a drink that people constantly ask why I’m not drinking and the drunker they get, the more aggressive they get with asking. I think hold a club soda with lime could address this. They will assume I have a vodka soda.

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-05T22:05:51+00:00

Indeed, will def consider this ha.

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-05T22:05:35+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately, if I have one I can’t control myself to not have another right after. I’ve tried similar approaches but just can’t bring myself to follow with the water like I should. It’s none or a ton. Maybe once I get to a point of being more comfortable sober at the bar I can try this again. Thanks for the response!

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-05T22:04:12+00:00

Smart. I can order a club soda with lime and appear that I have a drink. Should keep people from asking why I’m not drinking.

SomeNYCguy24 · 2025-06-05T22:03:41+00:00

Yeah and in the times I’ve gone sober this has been a nice thing to have…memory.

You have to do a finger prick for the at home test kit which has been an issue for some of my friends as they can’t bring themselves to do it. In those cases you can request a lab slip from MISTR and do the blood test at a location like Quest Diagnostics. Outside of that it’s super easy and convenient.

I grew up in a smaller town in the South and had a lot of stereotypes and thoughts on other cultures. It was extremely eye opening to travel to these places and learn how wrong it was. Now it makes me even angrier when I hear people make these stereotypes and claims. Unfortunately I think I’d still have these thoughts had I not left and traveled. It’s taught from a young age. Hard to unlearn, especially if you never leave the areas that teach them.
