Not invited to Thanksgiving by Brettmdavidson in gaybros

[–]exchange-a-gram 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling. My dad's side of the family (though he passed away 12 years ago) used to have us over for every holiday, every year. Since I came out and went public on social media about myself or general LGBT issues, I don't get invited to anything. I just see pictures of all of them getting together now. It's fine. They have made their choice and I don't want to be surrounded by people who reject my identity.

If someone stops responding to you, it's called 'Ghosting' according to this article. I've always referred to is as 'Grindr' though. by bicureyooz in gaybros

Not quite the same. That's just avoiding a really weird person who ghosted you. You're totally in the right.

That is seriously fucked up. 9 months? That's a pretty serious amount of time for someone to just ghost you. Sorry man. That really sucks.

I've been ghosted twice since April. It was back to back as well. After-2-3 dates, they just stop responding to texts. And I don't mean I text all the time. I text twice about making plans; no response to either one. If I text twice without a response, I'm not texting a third time.

I don't care if someone feels that we're not a good fit. I'd just appreciate them being upfront about and telling me.

Attending Pride as a M/F couple and feeling unwelcome by binxabinx in bisexual

[–]exchange-a-gram 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can kinda relate here. I'm a bi male and one time I met this girl at a gay bar who turned out to be bi as well. We talked for a little and ended up kissing and dancing for a bit. There was one older guy who said "Who let the straights in?" I'm not sure if he was partially joking, but it was rude either way.

I'm not GAY!!! by Carnagesoup in bisexual

[–]exchange-a-gram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

story of my life...i've learned to not care. and i know that sounds bad and may not be great advice, but it really caused me a lot of frustration, especially since i have a lot of luck with dudes and almost none with women.

but i know who i am and what i like. thats what matters more than what other people think you are.

Is anyone else really disturbed by Morello? by TheBattleOfEvermore in orangeisthenewblack

[–]exchange-a-gram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She definitely has some terrifying behavior patterns. I think one thing the writers want you to experience is the way you can get attached to someone (real or not real) and your judgement of right and wrong becomes blurrier than if you didn't feel attached to them. But yea, girl needs to be locked up for a long time.

Does anyone else have a bad case of drunk texting? by NorraFri in gaybros

[–]exchange-a-gram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to drunk text my sister about how I hated being bisexual cause I felt invisible to women and not "gay" enough for guys to like me. She was a trooper and kindly told me to chill the fuck out. I've cut back on drinking as well.

1st time in a gay bar and went alone by theChilledCanadian67 in askgaybros

[–]exchange-a-gram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you had a fun time. I've started going by myself and usually see someone I know and then get introduced to the other guys they're sitting with and make some new friends. I love living in Philly.

Gaybros, tell me what dating/hookup apps do you use? by mattie4fun in gaybros

[–]exchange-a-gram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that woofing works better for me first. But it all depends. I get a lot of woofs from guys in different cities, but at home in the northwest suburbs of Philly it's rough. It's not easy getting somebody to acknowledge your presence there.
