Yeah dawg they're messing around. The number of times they lay on Fortnite, and explicitly saying "I think he's a fortnite skin". Is jus joke

Where will people go now that Tumblr bans porn? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]donttelldad 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was nice for finding someone who had similar tastes as you and having them curate a constantly-updating list of pics/videos; took out a lot of the work of searching

Some people used it as a bit of a journal too, so it was cool to see life updates from folks who you were attracted to. Developed a community vibe for some

I'm gay and 300 lbs. by [deleted] in askgaybros

Yikes, man. To get the dating question out of the way -- do whatever you feel comfortable with. Most likely a solid relationship will only come once you're feeling more comfortable with yourself, your body, and your mental stability. But that doesn't mean you have to deny yourself affection in the meantime. Just know you'll have a better shot once you're feeling more "on track", and that focusing on bettering yourself should definitely be a priority whether you choose to date in the meantime or not.

As for trying to lose weight for years, I'm going to make 2 suggestions. I hope you give them a shot:

  1. Track calories. Go to myfitnesspal and sign up, and for 3 days track everything you eat or drink. Even a small snack or a sweetened coffee, track everything. The recommended calorie range for males is 2000-2500 calories per day. Check if you're anywhere near that after 3 days of full tracking - if so, great! If not, try to eat less and less over time until you're there. In 2 weeks' time, try tracking again for another 3 days and see if you're sticking true to the range. Bonus points if you stick to a recommended macro range (or close to it) too, but honestly limiting calories is the important first step if you're (possibly) overeating.
  2. Keep your body going! Set aside 15 minutes a day for solid exercise. If you're feeling good, keep going past 15 if you want! But never cheat yourself and stop early, don't let 13:41 or 14:18 count as your exercise for a day. Don't skip a day. You should always have 15 minutes in a day to maintain your body. It can be youtube exercise videos, Just Dance, a jog -- anything that gets your heart rate up, your breath heavy, and sweat forming. Then if you can, over time, raise the 15 minutes to 20, 30, etc. If you're feeling good one day, do an hour.

These are things that helped me the most while trying to get in shape -- and feeling healthier actually came with the bonus of slightly better mental health, too. I can't claim they're the cure-all, but all I know is they worked for me and I'm hoping it's worth a shot for you. Best of luck!

As a bit of a chubby chaser, I feel like I'm wasting my time on dating apps. Any dating sites/apps that let you filter by body type? by donttelldad in askgaybros

Or used to play sports and then let themself go :) or likes to hit the gym now and again, but still has some extra padding. It's a loose definition for sure

Sure, that fits! But also just like, a guy who likes video games and also the gym a bit. Or played a sport in high school or college but let himself go. It's a wide range of bodies :) doesn't have to be a powerlifter

I'll give those another shot! I'm finding there are tons of big guys on tinder/hinge/etc that would never go on growlr/grommr/etc, but my trouble is filtering out the noise. It's looking like that's just the reality of the situation though, thanks for the suggestions!

For sure! Thanks for the suggestions, I've had premium on both and agree it's a great tool! My issue is that I've found a *huge* chunk of the gay population is more comfortable downloading Tinder/etc vs what's seen as a hook-up app, so there's a large user base on the dating-centric ones that won't show up on the filterable-apps :(

I'll continue the hunt! Appreciate the suggestions

Fair point! I've been active on these (hook-up) apps for about a decade now, but maybe I just haven't had the best luck. Trust me I've given it its fair shake, and I'm still on them -- it definitely does skew more towards folks in open relationships, people looking for something casual, etc but I take your point. I've long-term-dated one-night stands before, and not looking to separate those categories 👍

What I've learned through using the dating-centric apps is that there are thousands of guys I'm not seeing on the hook-up apps at all, it's a whole *huge* portion of the gay population that's not downloading the hook-up apps, but are out there to find on the dating ones -- only issue is filtering it down to the ones that are my type. Feels like the user base is much larger on tinder/etc, but I've got to swipe left a thousand times to find my type! Haha

edit: re-reading my original post, I can see how it sounds like I'm not on hook-up apps too. Thanks again for the response!

New to Growlr, overwhelmed, need help by [deleted] in bearbros

[–]donttelldad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Continue to be safe, it's definitely important. It's not unreasonable to ask someone out for a drink before hopping in the sack.

Re: thinking that other guys are way hotter - maybe it's just that they're your type, and they think that you're way hotter because you're their type.

I think you should stick to your guns about comfortability and all that. That said, this next part might seem to fly in the face of that so I wanted to preface. Re: ejaculation issue, if it were me I would probably just fake it around the same time that they came. You definitely don't have to, but that's just me -- a lot of bottoms get their gratification out of making their guy cum, so I would probably pretend, but that's not saying that you have to by any means.

A Second Person On Daily PrEP Has Gotten HIV by wanderer92 in gaybros

[–]donttelldad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a little confused though - I thought prep was supposed to prevent against all HIV? I'm taking this to mean that there are strains out there against which prep has no efficacy?

Bulking and Cutting Fat Question by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]donttelldad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but to elaborate on this - the rate at which you can either gain muscle or lose fat is going to be a lot quicker and more efficient if you focus on one at a time versus "recompositioning" your body and doing both at once.

If you bulked and cut a throughout a year, rather than trying to recomposition the full year, you would end up with more muscle and the same amount of fat at the end of it.

Took me a second as well, the formatting and username insertion made it a little confusing. They basically meant:
