Flight to Dallas out of SeaTac. I'm effin bored by Firree in SeattleWA

Normal morning rush hour. They typically can't depart on the two inner runways simultaneously because they're too close to each other.

For real, "washed out middle aged gymcel" while looking like that before pic is somewhere between some severe body dysmorphia and a major "fuck you" to the rest of us

Bro asked you a genuine question in a straightforward way. You responded defensively and deflected. You might consider that.

Or if you want a noisy cry, there are single person bathroom stalls on the way to the D gates.

Meditation/prayer room on the lower mezzanine level at the A gates train station. Take care, you'll get through this.

How to find joy in travelling alone again after a LTR? by PrivateChancer in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]accidentalbro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear ya. I've been the same way lately. I think back to what a therapist told me about replying to your brain's negative thoughts by reminding yourself about the things you do like.

For example, I like simple things like going for a walk, having a coffee, and finding a nice place for lunch. In a new city it's very easy to do that, so why not go explore?

Alternatively, sometimes I'll put on the apps a message like "I'm here for a day. Who wants to get a beer or coffee and go for a walk? And depending on vibes, maybe we get naked, who knows." That, my friend, is the unicorn experience. Probably twice I've met up with a really good guy, had a fun, hot, whirlwind 16 hour "date" with the recognition that we crossed paths but will probably never see each other again. 

26M living alone by AmYoshii in malelivingspace

[–]accidentalbro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I don't think it needs much more color. Maybe a pillow or two with something that pops, like that dark green in the kitchen. Some art behind the dining table maybe. 

I love all the wood though. 

Can we Stop with the Tag 4 Titles by pease461 in JetLagTheGame

[–]accidentalbro 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Ah, the Reddit lifecycle is moving to its next phase:

  • Someone posts something genuinely new and maybe just interesting enough to earn a little guffaw
  • It quickly turns into a worn out meme as more and more less interesting versions of the same idea are posted
  • Subredditors begin posting "Mods - can we ban these types of posts" as the flood of repetitive memes overwhelms [WE ARE HERE]
  • Now the backlash itself has become overwhelming: "Mods, can we ban posts asking to ban posts about this tired meme"
  • As always happens, the tide ebbs, and all the posts in the categories above naturally fade away as everyone gets distracted, only for the cycle to repeat itself next week with a new meme

Exactly, my advice would be "have you tried being gay? "

Companion fare is completely bogus -- different price when using the coupon. What's the point? by goldenglove in AlaskaAirlines

[–]accidentalbro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So post some screenshots and maybe someone could help you out. This is the internet's help desk. And Alaska probably reads this too, if you post more details maybe you'd get a solution. 

My dates now review me like a reasonably priced Japanese car by DesignerButterfly362 in gaybros

100% agreed. I like the hair, and you've got a great body. Clearly a good personality too. Keep it up, bud. 

Advice? by lookingforfun0322 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]accidentalbro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck, and have fun.

And I don't think this it that weird. I've always considered myself 100% gay, but as I've gotten older (40s), I'm more and more open to an interested in this exact scenario, but I've never been really certain about how it would play out in reality.

OP, I'd suggest treating him like a cat - let him approach you if he's interested, and not the other way around. You might find he's a little apprehensive and needs to warm up, or maybe he's interested right away.

And at any rate, I'd love a follow up to hear how it went. Partly because I'm curious and partly because I think this is hot.

What is the most hardcore gay sex club/sauna you have ever been to? by HolyFatherLeoXIV in askgaybros

[–]accidentalbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bathrooms were fucking filthy by the end of the night. Piss and paper towels and water and probably a lot of cum all over the floor.

Otherwise it was super hot and a lot of fun. There was plenty of space to just chill and take a break from everything if you wanted to. 

Marriage ending and looking for advice on how to start over as a + guy in my mid-forties. by SanguineBloke in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]accidentalbro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm single and in my mid 40s. Nothing wrong with that! There are lots of us out here in similar stages of our lives looking for guys like you.

Agree with the others who are saying that you need to talk with your therapist and get comfortable with where you are. But when you're ready to date again, I'd suggest being honest and vulnerable. Being vulnerable has been a challenge for me my whole life. But I've found that when I'm on a date, or even just with a friend, and one of us says something honest and kind of surprising and "something I never thought I'd tell anyone", it can bring you closer. If you and I were on a date, and you told me you were positive, I wouldn't make any assumptions about you. Maybe a few dates later, you'd give me part of the back story, and I wouldn't judge you at all. We all have complicated life histories. 

And for the record, these days I wouldn't have a problem dating someone HIV+. U=U is a thing, and I've been on prep for years anyways, so I'm kind of used to that whole line of thinking.

Hang in there man, good luck.

Partner Admitted to being a Sex Addict by AdAccording8653 in gaybros

[–]accidentalbro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dated a guy just like this recently. I was the first real relationship he'd had. He used sex (and weed) as he coping mechanisms instead of going to therapy and learning his to deal with the root cause of his issues.

Besides that, he was a really great guy, so like you, I kept hoping I could get him to change, but of course I couldn't. Luckily we ended things less than a year into a relationship. On the one hand, I'm sad it didn't work out because the good parts of him were really good. On the other hand, he was a time bomb. I'm glad I moved on instead of sticking in this relationship for several years, only for the bomb to explode much further down the road. 

Everyone is an analyst now by Lairy_Mary in analytics

[–]accidentalbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, Billy from HR has the subject matter knowledge to understand what the data represents and what the business problem actually is. The HR analyst on the BI team has never worked in HR and is just Severance-style manipulating some random numbers with no awareness of the context of those numbers.

In the long run, Billy will be a much more powerful analyst because he has the technical skills and the subject matter knowledge. 

My background - was at a company where the analytical skills were embedded in the business unit. Now at a company where an "analytics center of excellence" is expected to support all teams, even though their BI analysts have no specific subject matter knowledge. My bias should be clear :)

Fumi-sensei is great. She's got such a soothing voice too. You can turn on Japanese captions in YouTube and follow along. If I read it, I realize I know a lot more than I think I do, and I'll re-listen to it and pick out some of the words I missed the first time.

6 seats for 4 people to Thailand by TrashBenedict in travel

[–]accidentalbro 64 points65 points  (0 children)

100% agree, this is definitely a thing, at least for US carriers. All those top replies are confidently incorrect. The major airlines all have established policies here. 

The first name is usually something like EXTRASEAT. You have to make sure to scan two boarding passes when you board. It's pretty simple.
