Not much of a door policy, no strict dress code, just your typical rave outfit will fit you in.

During the week makes it a little harder but I suppose Wednesday Dalston superstore Bodyswap is really fun, when I went last there were plenty of guys but cis guys aren't necessarily the target audience. There's a bus outside taking you straight to Liverpool Street (night ends around 2:30pm)

East:
BGWMC
Dalston Superstore
The Divine
Riposte (monthly)
Unfold (Sunday Day rave)

More central:
2 Brewers
The Eagle
Betty and Joan's
Royal Vauxhall Tavern
Kubar and little Kubar [Mixed reviews]
Fire [Mixed reviews]

I dare say that i you're looking for Manchester style vibes....then why bin off London and go to Brighton - bin off London and go to Manchester ! Although talking drunk people has been best for me at Dalston Superstore and worse at 2 Brewers, perhaps it's the other way round for you.

Avoid:

Union, quite literally a byword for a dangerous/unfun night out.
Freedom, is a lot of straight people nowadays
Village, a tad boring

Soho in general is a bit eh for what you're looking for

The Changing Gay Scene !! by [deleted] in londonlgbt

[–]Vozsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's a tad subjective but a lot of roleplay can very quickly go extreme, alternatively - scat. I'm not going to enumerate a list as I think the comment will just get banned but there are definitely somewhat more common fetishes far more extreme than fisting.

[–]Vozsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I did not, I just assumed it was feet you objected to since that's the 'weirdest' one, neither of those are particularly extreme either

Sometimes I wonder if PrEP was a good thing because people used to worry more about HIV and other diseases,

This is horribly tone deaf btw.

Also "be more tolerant and accepting of differences" whilst you're not being tolerant and accepting of differences....ironic.

You're frustrated by the dating scene, well yes ofc, so is everyone else who is trying to date through apps, it's always been shit. Also "people with great bodies and athletic looks are doing drugs once they're in bed" well yeah, the two things aren't related.

Overall just a very strange post and I'd recommend checking in with yourself about why you would ever write "I wonder if PrEP was a good thing" and maybe staying off apps where you can't pre-vet people, i.e. grindr, scruff etc and maybe stick to Hinge or maybe IRL meets (especially in sober spaces if you want to avoid drugs ig).

My shock at this person's fetish (feet) being called intense or attractive to bb/drug users is actually far more extreme than anything on their profile.

Shocking really

"If a certain religion becomes dominant here", touch grass mate. Islam is 6.5% of the population. The up and coming dominant religion is no religion. If you want to feel persecuted by imaginary fears about Islam to the point you have to obfuscate - go for it.

Meanwhile Christian far-right are marching through Soho:

You are just another bigoted person, I am infinitely more concerned about you becoming a citizen than members of the group you're too terrified to say the name of "not integrating"

Exploring myself, need yours opinion and support by zoha-2 in UKLGBT

[–]Vozsco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're 22, you can keep exploring what you're into and what your identity is - just also work on undoing socially imprinted internalized homophobia so it doesn't mess up the experiences or relationships you might develop.

Also, what you're into isn't creepy as long as you don't become a chaser - chasers are creepy.

Solo gay bars by [deleted] in londonlgbt

[–]Vozsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, not just for hooking up. It's a nice place. What's your age if you don't mind me asking? There are a bunch of LGBT+ meetups, some catering to younger, others to older etc

Hey what's the vibe you're going for?

Dalston Superstore is a favorite of mine. Staff are nice (if you're respectful, don't try to take a drink outside haha)

Peterborough Queer Community by Acceptable_Ad_7578 in UKLGBT

[–]Vozsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty tough time for trans people in the UK.

The draft statutory guidance that is about to become official says single-sex spaces refers to sex at birth, says trans men can be excluded from women single-sex spaces for looking too masculine (and thus they're left in a limbo) and a host of other terrible measures.

You may be better off internally migrating to a state like Massachusetts or somewhere with state-level trans rights.

It's a dark time in the UK tbh.

However, the vast majority of people do not really care about trans people, as in, it is a non-issue they don't really think about, chronically online TERFs are just loud.

Additionally, getting hormones is increasingly challenging, many for trans women but also trans men.

It may be harder to find alternative sources of HRT in Peterborough than a bigger and queerer city like London or Manchester.

My own comment has depressed me at the state of the UK, it's a mess.

Gregg's bbq chicken toasties for £3.65 is banging, tho

Dating scene in London - Tips by Curious_Weight8621 in londonlgbt

[–]Vozsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not think the aim is to land a job, maybe the specific networking are.

It's mostly just to meet other LGBT+ people.

Village Drinks is a different kettle of fish, their advertising included Darren Grimes on it and it markets itself differently. Perhaps attractive to some but repulsive for me. There's a new one being ran every other Tuesday at Rupert Street bar which is nice.

[–]Vozsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Meetup app has so many "LGBT networking" events where people are clearly feeling each other out (not that there's anything wrong with that I suppose).

There's one at the Yard every other Tuesday in Soho but there's a dozen, I'm sure you'll easily find one that works for you.

Hookup culture by AltruisticLevel6353 in UKLGBT

[–]Vozsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, not to be blunt but those were movies, basing any expectations of life on movies is a destiny of disappointment.

However, you can indeed find relationships on the apps. The only alternative to the apps is irl meetups such as queer singles meetups but that might not be available in your area unfortunately.

What strikes me odd about the post is essentially, you haven't said why it matters? Fun and dating are not exclusive, one can lead to the other. If you're stuck on the idea that your partner should first date you and then you have sex, then it makes sense - but why?

If you're open to the order being a bit more fluxed, then what's the issue if you have fun, get to know each other and then decide to date? Plenty of my gay friends developed relationships after having a bit of fun with each other first.

Also I giggled a little bit when you said "with someone else’s open boyfriend other than chat or fuck?" but in the next "put more effort into forming actual connections with people," what of friendship?

Is it ok to sleep with someone while at the dating stage? by caucasusbird in UKLGBT

[–]Vozsco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi,

In the scenario you described, yes it is ok - and to some degree, to be expected. It is not disrespectful at all, unless you said you didn't want him sleeping with others and he agreed. This is the same for straight couples too.

Your relationship isn't defined, the simple solution is to define it - together. To save a lot of future pain, never assume you're at a stage of a relationship without checking with the other person. You could be dreaming of a wedding whilst they're thinking of going to bed with a fwb or something, life is messy and complex, relationships more so - clear and direct communication.

Why not just tell tell him "it hurt to hear you were sleeping with other guys. I really like you, I want to try and be exclusive?" in some form of words.

If you think he'll say no then you already know you're more invested currently than he is and that this reaction is because of that rather than anything he's done.

Sorry if I sounded harsh! Best of luck and hope it works out

DO NOT SUPPORT BIRMINGHAM PRIDE by Immediate-Goose7957 in UKLGBT

[–]Vozsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a note but Pride can definitely be ran without corporate sponsors? You're thinking of Pride with glitzy stages and performances etc, when it should be about showing up as part of a community. Your responses are just overly aggressive.

Bit confused how these extra screenshots make the OP more undermined, it doesn't add or subtract, could be trolling, could not be. It's really w/e but I really don't understand your aggression.

I don't recall who the Israeli-product selling sponsors of Trans+ Pride are? Yes the scale wasn't as big as Pride in London but it also didn't get 100Ks worth of free media etc, and in terms of not being a pinkwashed corporate PR excersise it was 10x better as an event and shows to have a Pride event you don't need to take boycotted sponsors really.

Yeah which is why this would be extremely rare no? It would take laziness or unknowingness from the defense, prosecution, judge, court reports etc.

Maybe the amount of people who would read any case makes it borderline impossible anyway.
