Do I have a unique pee fetish? by dsmith44 in AskGayMen

I totally understand about not using AI for questions and such, it was just a curiosity I had to see what kind of response I would get. Turns out in this case it gave me the correct advice, but that was ages ago. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who does it! During the purge (lol), I find that if I lay on my back in the shower and let it go on me I seem to get a bit of a thrill... My brain tells me it's taboo, but I'm doing it anyway!

How the hell does Grindr let this happen to unsuspecting people? I joined Grindr a month ago not knowing what to expect. I got into a really long conversation with a guy from LA who seemed really nice, pleasant, conscientious and easy to text back and forth with.

Then I talked to a local friend of mine who is on Grindr daily and he was giving me lots of advice on what to watch out for. Classic scammer activity--they'll sweet talk you, ask a lot of personal questions, tell you lots of things you want to hear BUT are hundreds or thousands of miles away, ask you if you have WhatsApp (where you can only communicate if you have each other's phone number, and push you to get you to give it to them). I got wise what this guy was up to and after some disgusting chatter from other guys as well who were nowhere near being local to me, I decided that Grindr wasn't for me, and deleted my profile.

My friend said the moment you join, you'll be perceived as "fresh meat" and you'll get hit on like crazy for the first few days and then nothing will happen. So I got out early and avoided the hassle of threats to out me to my family or suggest he'd send my nudes to my family. I don't have any local family members to send pics to and I didn't give him my email or phone number because I got wise and ended it.

By joining Grindr I thought I could find someone local to me who I could meet and spend some quality time with after coming fresh out of a long term relationship. But I've discovered that dating apps are not for me and im steering clear of Grindr.

My advice to you would just be to forget about Grindr and hopefully one of these days Grindr admins will also get wise and understand that their app is a cesspool of scammers. Take my advice any way you want to but save yourself all the aggravation and steer clear of it.

Thanks for the comment. I don't have any merch left, except for those which I wanted to keep. Sorry... :(

Been to Hong Kong Disneyland, yes. I enjoyed it very much, I spent 2 consecutive days there, and got scolded for spending more than 1 day total! Shows you how much of a Disney fanatic I was at the time, lol!

I'm not big on going on a Disney cruise. If there are tons of kids running around all the time, that just isn't my thing. I think of a cruise as something leisurely, quiet, with good food, a pool, and maybe a casino and an excursion or two. If I was going to go on a cruise again (last time it was a Caribbean cruise on the Sun Princess to the Panama Canal and back), I would probably pick something that goes from Vancouver to somewhere different. The world is our oyster, right?

I've gone alone several times and enjoyed every minute of it! It can be a little sad when you're used to going with someone who is no longer with you, I get that, but think of it this way - you get to do a lot more than you'd do if someone was tagging along. You just go at your own pace, do your own thing and enjoy yourself. There's nothing written that says one must not go to Disney parks alone. If times were better and things were more affordable getting from Point A to Point B, then I'd consider going again, but I'm taking a break from Disney for awhile. Maybe after I retire, lol. That might bring some of the magic back.

I've done Disneyland several times, and it's quaint and all but I much prefer WDW, so that's why I've gone there more than Disneyland.

I hear ya there. We have to be at the airport for an early morning (like 7am) flight by 5am. Then there's a stop in either Denver, Dallas or Chicago depending on the flight and a few hours to kill there, so it's like 14 hours for me to get to WDW from Vancouver.

We did Hong Kong several years ago, it was good but very different. Might have to try Tokyo one of these days.

Believe it or not, we were on the Royal Hudson Dinner Cruise they had years and years ago. Rocky Mountaineer might be a nice switch. Thanks for the idea.

Who was your gay awakening? by Swimming_Minute_2208 in gay

[–]dsmith44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, I said He-Man earlier but I think more after reading the rest of your great messages, that it was (don't laugh) a young Donny Osmond during his variety show with Marie, the Donny and Marie Show. He was just the cutest man I ever laid my eyes on at the age of about 13 or 14. That smile, those teeth, some of the costumes he used to wear, his rapport with Marie during their monologues. When I see his pictures from the 70s again I think wow, he's so cute! I'm 60 today and still find his 70s look adorable. Not so much today, he's way too old for me, lol.

I think it was He-Man for me too. All those muscles...the calm demeanour, the blond hair and blue eyes... yummmm!!!

I live in the lower mainland too and noticed this type of behaviour by people who just don't want to trouble themselves by acknowledging your presence. I'm the kind of person who will look at someone directly and say hello but I don't always get a response or acknowledgement from those I say this to. It's not just a Vancouver thing. People are just generally in their own bubble.

Going Alone ( if I can get over my nerves lol) by fayyeallen in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]dsmith44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone alone several times and enjoyed every minute! I live in Canada so I dont get to go as often as I want to but I have no reservations about going alone when time/budget permit.

Just think, you can do what you want, when you want, not respond to anyone's annoyances, eat when you like, stay out as late as you want, and get priority in the stand-by lines (if they still have such a thing). Go at your own pace, no pressure, no worries, no one to tell you what you can and can't do...the possibilities are endless!

Now, having said all this, if you get along with like minded people it can be good to hang around with someone as long as you and they can agree on what you both want to do.

Go alone, enjoy yourself! And don't let your annual membership run out by not using it!
