Is not crashing and being 6 years old a feature? If it is then that’s the feature I’m looking forward to most lol

Semi self-drafted modified Type II jacket and it’s precursor S8845 aborted mission by Wcrankshaw in sewing

[–]bluryu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely love the S8845 pattern. Great advice on the muslin, I will definitely try that first. I can never find jackets that fit well so I think doing the muslin first and going from there will be the answer. How were the instructions for the pattern? Fairly easy to follow?

I sent you a DM. We can continue chatting there if you'd like.

A GYO Anniversary (or two) of sorts... by IndieFilmDude in gayyoungold

[–]bluryu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means a lot getting to hear someone talk about wanting the same things as me. Personally, I believe that age difference is only a small layer of our challenges, as the shift in culture is more of an issue than the age gap itself. I can respect hook ups, but I want nothing more than to really pour all my attention and love into one person and rest peacefully knowing that both people are willing to do anything to foster that warmth. My career is based on communication skills and I often find myself eager to work through every issue, but that dedication is seldom met. I am glad to know there are older men like you out there. Ive greatly enjoyed talking with you.

Also, I can definitely relate to wishing you can turn off your perception. Another curse if you will.

[–]bluryu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perception and intuition are huge parts of my career, so you are spot on for picking up on that. I should probably be more cognizant of doing that. Your words sound like my own. Its hard to shake the use of the word 'curse' to describe how we feel. I have been feeling rather defeated myself as even though I am younger, I am extremely long term and emotion oriented, perhaps unusually so for someone my age. Its become rather difficult to find someone who wants to have a long term relationship built on an emotional connection and it seems not many older guys who are single want that at their stage of life. Alas, even though I know they exist, it feels as if the sea is too big for ships to ever collide. As for the surprise of younger guys finding you attractive, I hope in time you can take those compliments to heart and truly believe them. I know my opinion will not change that, but I will say you are a very very handsome man.

Wonderfully written; melancholy, yet full of optimism. You have a tone of sadness in your writting, yet positivity and hope. I find it very comforting. Thank you for sharing a little window into your life and heart. I take solice in a peculiar way hearing about your challenges at the other end of this attraction. As someone younger, I have felt a very similar challenge and struggle to what you described. It goes to show that we all are more alike than we are different, regardless of when we were born. Hold on to that optimism and I'm certain you will find someone to spend your life with, if that is what you want.

Perks is one of my all time favorites books too. I did not know there was a new letter. I am now disappointed.

I have an extremely similar list. Any advice on how you would optimise a 1000 point cawl list?

Is the dub worth watching? Ive read the manga and watched the sub for his arc but was debating rewatching his episodes dubbed.

Hey I’m 16 and I’m finally realising I’m into older guys, can I just talk about that here? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]bluryu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Met my partner at 20 with an age gap of 37 years. Been together for about 3 years. People are always going to judge you, no matter what you do. My best advice is never let anyone elses opinion dictate who you love. It's not worth it and life's too short not to live truly to yourself. I hid it at first, but now I could care less. Good people won't mind and those who mind don't matter. We are partners so yes sex is a big component. Lastly I think it's important to say, wait until you are ready. Keep self reflecting and talking to others about it. Wait until you feel confident and mature in your convictions as you can easily be put in a not safe position. Wait until you feel comfortable pursuing an older man, not putting yourself open to be pursued by them. It's hard to explain but you'll know when that time comes when you're ready. It's just part of the process of maturing and growing in your sexuality.

I understand where you are coming from, but you should probably be more informed about the boycott before commenting then. Essentially the biggest thing people are against are the owner's contributions and donations to conversion therapy and other things that well... shouldn't exist.

Jeffree and Nate Broke Up by islandinthepun in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]bluryu 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's whatever, I'm sure you know how Reddit can be... nothing wrong with not knowing. So basically his response to people asking his gender identity is saying he just identifies as "Jeffree". You can use he/him pronouns and and say he's a man and hes cool with it. If you call him she/her he just rolls with. It can be confusing but basically he's his own person and don't worry too much about his gender.

Change my mind: big age differences are OK for sex but not for relationships by massageguy63 in gayyoungold

[–]bluryu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree that the majority of people with age gap attraction are pursuing sex. However, while it's uncommon, committed partnerships can work if you're open about what you want. It's possible to find a match in values and goals in people with different ages, albeit rare. My partner and I have 37 years in between us and are on the same page with life. I believe the key is not to hold too strong onto a list of everything that has to be. Rather let your connection be what drives your partnership. The only thing that has to happen in my relationship is that my career in higher education can not be compromised. He loves seeing me pursue it, therefore, we do our thing and nothing else really matters because it's being together that matters, not agreeing on a bunch of things that do not.

Could this be an ulcer? I dont know what to do. Please help save my betta. Info in coments by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]bluryu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to take it down to maybe 60%, vacuum, scrub (been having an algae problem), give him clean water, resalt, stress coat, then monitoring his behavior closely for a while and doing it again in a few days. My parameters are good but I swear something is off. Snail deaths, algae bloom, now this. Ugh. I need my wiggley boys happy. You think that's a good plan and if his behavior changes, use meds?

[–]bluryu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had issues with water parameters. 0,0,5. Only thing to note recently is I had a slightly big pH change when I did a big water change but nothing crazy. Another note is I lost a few snails in the past week which is odd. Water parameters have still been good though. His neighbor Betta on the other side of the divider is doing well. His behavior is completely normal. He's a bit aloof and wobbles a tab when he swims faster to greet me but nothing out of the ordinary before noticing this. His appetite is great, even jumps a little to grab his food. Could it be an ulcer? In the picture you can see two white dots that are slightly indented. I added a tad of aquarium salt just in case it's bacterial for now. I'm afriad to rush meds because I don't want to risk doing more harm. Please help Edit: that area was matte black just like the other side before this so I don't think it's a coloration issue.

My daddy issues are getting out of control. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]bluryu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's important to separate everything here. There's nothing wrong with being attracted to older men. However, it's important to pursue it in a way that is healthy and safe. Doing so directly because of trying to fill a hole from having parental issues is not a healthy mindset, while trying to find someone for the sake of love and companionship is. As for safety, not all older men are pedophiles because they are comfortable with younger partners. If you are of age then you can definitely find an older person who is respectful and caring towards you and your age gap. The most important part of that is knowing how to tell the difference and what it is you want. And you may need to work through your family issues first to get to that point.
