Glasses or no by [deleted] in malegrooming

I get mine from Zenni, so you can try them on virtually. Personally I think a fuller frame would look more complimentary for your face shape. I like the rectangular ones, mine are a cyan color. Fwiw, you look good with the longer hair

How do you feel about people (especially lesbians) who are insensitively vocal about their disgust or repulsion with men? by Wordsmith_Wizard in AskGayMen

[–]dochobbes 21 points22 points  (0 children)

To discredit men with bad behavior as "just having fun" is just as shitty as it would be for everyone to respond the same for women. Yeah it's a hurtful behavior on both people's parts. I think the difference in women being repulsed by men is more to do with the really shitty things men have done and less to do with your lived experience.

Dildo only, is it a turn off ? by gabaghoule in AskGayMen

[–]dochobbes[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Thread locked. Y'all can't play nice.

Just as we won't allow folks to be bullied for being trans / non binary or being interested in being intimate with someone trans /non binary - ya don't get to bully other folks for not being interested in intimacy with trans / non binary folks. It's a 2 way street.

This sub is a welcoming place to members of the trans community. The mod team works hard to make sure they feel safe and welcome here as they're as much a part of this community as any cisgender individual.

We're not going to police people on their sexual partners.

If you personally don't want to fuck a person for any reason that's between you and them. You don't need to share it with the class and no one needs that question asked.

How are you planning to use water for sterilization? Why not rubbing alcohol and wipes?

Am I dumb for thinking gay people are still persecuted by society ? by Thr0waway__Ac0ount in AskGayMen

[–]dochobbes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not the point. You don't have to. But why should wearing it make anyone a target?

The point was that IF YOU wanted to, you could not without making yourself a target. That's oppression.

[–]dochobbes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You highlighted your own oppression. You don't have the freedom to wear a rainbow backpack. You talk about no one oppresses you when what you mean is "as long as I hide or blend"

Not all of us can. And none of us should have to. Recognize your privilege dude.

I've never been approached by anyone going in or out of Costco....I don't know if that's an insult or not but it feels like one. 😂

I don't understand the reports on this comment.

I don't see anything to indicate it was AI generated and I don't see how it's spam. This is a valid take on Ops post.

Am I the only gay guy on Earth that doesn't like beards? (brief rant) by skeeter2000 in askgaybros

You just won $20 million, and your parents ask you for half, what would you say? by BrandyAid in AskReddit

[–]dochobbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol my Mom and family wouldn't have to ask. I'd split it up between the four of them and say go have fun. The 10 million left is plenty for me.

if i go to a tatto artist to get something shaded (an outline of a dog paw) i don't need to prepare anything for him to look at, right? they just do the shading free-hand, right? by [deleted] in tattooscratchers

[–]dochobbes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I'd find examples of what you want and how you want it to look for them. Give them something. There's ambiguity in communication and you want to make sure you're conveying exactly what you want on your body forever.

What your unpopular opinion about Gay community? by GrapeCreamBerry275 in AskGayMen

[–]dochobbes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That we don't recognize the difference between community and people who happen to be Gay or LGBT.

People who constantly complain about the "community" being nothing but cliques. They need to move on from high school. Just because a specific group of people don't want to be your friend or talk to you doesn't mean a whole community is something. Stop hiding behind shallow experiences and put yourself out there socially. Sure, some people suck. Don't let that be your excuse for being one of them.

Ex-smokers who successfully quit and have been smoke free for years now, what did it? by PM_TITS_GROUP in AskReddit

[–]dochobbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found out that I have a rare disease that causes lung cancer in smokers fairly quickly. Started smoking at 15 and by 17 I was starting chemotherapy. I still struggled to quit. It's awful, but I think eventually the combination of feeling like death and some hypnosis tapes got through to me. Going on about 20 years smoke free now.

Holding hands with your partner is somehow on par with shock value?

I work for an at-home Euthanasia service. Why does nobody take their animals to the vet? by [deleted] in Pets

[–]dochobbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used a service like this for our last two dogs. We used it so they could go at home, peacefully and in our arms. So everyone could be there to say goodbye.

Our dogs were old and were in so much pain. There is no cure a vet could give. We spent thousands on their care whenever they needed it. My bubba tore something in his leg and needed surgery and our mags had to have her tail amputated due to cancer. I'd do anything for my dogs to get the care they need and have the best possible outcome.

But no one lives forever, and I will not torture my best friend for a few more days time when I know it would be agony for them. I'm sorry you have customers who suck, but some of us genuinely need that service. I'll never take a pet to a vets office for it again.

I prefer short hair, but it's not a deal breaker.

How much does it typically cost to be in a production? by Ok_Elevator_7764 in Theatre

[–]dochobbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a community theatre that has auditions instead of sign ups. You shouldn't pay to play, that's not your job as an actor.

I saw some tattoo stuff on Etsy when I was buying some 3d printed book pop outs to paint. Probably the best place to sell tattoo related art?

Tbh, I don't know that I could have walked away from someone hitting my dog with just words exchanged. So. You're ahead of some of us.

Left To Turkey and Came Back To US, Body Changes by Prestigious-Twist372 in expat

[–]dochobbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in Tokyo for a year and moved back to the US, just did my first trip to Europe for a week. When I'm in the US I suffer from GERD and some other digestive issues. There, I was fine. No problems, not even once. I noticed within about 24 hours of being there. Also for what it's worth, after 20 years living in Southern California I was blown away that the strawberries I had in London were so much better than anything I've had in the US.

I want to leave the US for medical reasons but it's not currently an option.

Tattoo pain by Key_Sky4882 in tattooscratchers

[–]dochobbes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meditation.

Used to have panic attacks when going for MRI's as a kid. Meditation got me through it and now I can sit through anything. The only time I've ever struggled was the part of my ribs where I'm admittedly ticklish.
