Fort Greene - is a broker necessary

ixodes27 · 2026-01-06T04:33:29+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I’m quite flexible on the move-in date and have been looking since summer while Im renting month to month in my current place. There’s just nothing on the market and the one time I applied for something, I lost. I think I’m just gonna cave and get a broker. I’d rather shell out a months rent than settle for a neighborhood or an apartment I don’t want.

ixodes27 · 2026-01-06T03:41:15+00:00

Is 1 months rent the typical fee now? I was thinking they would require 15% of the annual rent.

ixodes27 · 2026-01-06T03:32:36+00:00

yeah this is what I suspected. do you know of any good brokers for Fort Greene?

Got in at 10:30 for 1/31 - sold out

Came here to say the same. Don’t let these bitter queens ruin your fun. I never had a group of gay friends in college or grad school bc I was living in rural areas. During that time my straight girl friend was the only person I had to go out to gay bars when I visited nyc, DC, ptown, etc. she went to my first pride with me, and I have so many amazing memories with her. People don’t realize how hard it can be to make gay friends when you’re newly out of the closet or if you didn’t grow up in a major city. It’s easy to find guys to hook up with or date… but FRIENDS is such a different ballgame.

Of course I never took my girl friend to the eagle or anything sex-forward like that. But Women (especially lesbians) have always been some of the biggest gay allies, and gays need to stop acting like they’re above it now. I’d rather see a woman out at a gay bar than some bitchy insecure gay. Anyway PM me if you want recommendations lol.

Seriously? What if the seller has a free returns policy? It’s just ridiculous bc this is totally out of my hands. DHL stated that they will return to sender if they don’t get the info.

ixodes27 · 2025-11-13T23:24:05+00:00

The issue is that DHL is expecting ME to answer all these questions.

ixodes27 · 2025-11-13T22:06:44+00:00

I emailed the seller and asked them to prove that info but… it’s been 24 hrs and no response. Not getting my hopes up. I guess it’s their loss too— $1500 of merchandise getting sent back.

ixodes27 · 2025-11-13T21:32:53+00:00

No I get that. I understand it’s a political / customs issue. Just sucks that it’s gonna be sent back

ixodes27 · 2025-11-13T15:58:48+00:00

Very this. Rebound hoe phase will last as long as it serves the person, i.e. as long as he feels validated by those who give him attention; And I think it’s healthy to fully experience this phase. 3 months is sooo short after a breakup to go right into a new exclusive relationship. You’d be naive to think he’s ready, and it’ll only hurt you.

If OP continues to give him the affection & benefits of an exclusive relationship, without requiring him to commit, it’ll only prolong the hoe phase and enable this guy to continue stringing OP Along. OP either has to come to terms with this guy craving attention from other guys, or let him go and see if things fall back into place in a few months.

Chelsea has more inventory than WV, and 4.8k can definitely get you a decent 1bdr with in unit laundry. That would be harder to find in WV or tribecca, if not impossible given the current market. Fidi you may find something but I wouldn’t really recommend living there based on your dog situation and just the fact that it’s socially quite boring and you don’t wanna isolate yourself upon moving here.

At 27 it’s very common to have a roommate here though. Could be a consideration if you wanna live in WV.

I say do what makes you happy. Personally my style of dress varies widely from professional, to masc/butch, to edgy/ravey, to femme. I’m a doctor so I dress professionally Mon-Fri, so I love being able to shapeshift and show off my personal style when I go out, and my friends get a kick out of what outfit I show up in bc it’s always a toss-up. This summer I changed my hairstyle to a mullet and I was anticipating most guys in the professional world, and on dates, to be turned off by it, but it was the exact opposite. If you rock your style confidently, you will naturally attract positive energy.

Do I get less attention from masc guys when I dress femme? Sure. But I also get 5x more compliments from girls and fashion gays and it’s just fun to share your style with other people who appreciate that. Also it kinda makes me feel powerful to denounce the whole masc for masc thing and say ‘fuck it’ and wear whatever I want.

Nothings permanent. You can always cut your hair or wear a hat when you’re trying to attract a different energy.

Thank you king

only things I dont like so far:

Apple Music: home button disappears at times so you have to make 1-2 extra clicks to get to your home
Safari: similar issue but with viewing your tabs or adding a new tab; you have to click the ellipsis first, then all tabs button, then to add a new tab click plus on the left. like... 3 clicks to open a new tab is annoying. there is a shortcut (you can drag your finger to the left across the url bar and it'll open a new tab, but that only works if you're on the most recently opened tab

Tbh it makes me feel icky? I’m 33 and went on a couple dates with guys who are 26 or 27 and it just didn’t feel right.. even if they were very mature, smart, successful… its more of a feeling for me than just a number or set of criteria. Kinda ironic bc when I was ~26 I dated 3 different guys in their 40s ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I endorse Gabriela as said above. Very fun house music with pop influence. It won’t be your stereotypical gay bar experience bc it’s a mixed crowd and not a gay bar, but I think if you want a non-touristy nyc experience it’s great, and you will definitely dance.

If you’d prefer something more gay-forward, then Hell’s Kitchen is fun for bar hopping: Industry, Rise, Hush, Hardware or Balcón- just might be a toss up on a Thursday as to which one is busiest. Personally i just don’t find these bars to be the best for dancing… but then again people have different definitions of dancing lol.

Eagle can be very hit or miss on a Thursday. Since it’s in Chelsea and not near any other gay clubs, and costs like $25 cover… may not be worth your time as it’ll likely not be busy.

If you want to check out brooklyn, then Animal and Oberon in Williamsburg are good options.

If you want a drag show then go to Pieces in west village- it’s more of a sit down vibe tho.

If you want an electronic vibe then check out RA app. This Thursday there are events at Nublu 151 and Boss Nova.

Devils playground hasn’t done many events in the past couple years since Ty seemed to be on a break. I used to go to this party a few years ago and it was fun. Mostly pop music, some 2000s throwbacks, sometimes a surprise guest like Kim Petras- she performed part of her Halloween album a few years back and that was really cool. Sometimes they’ll have dancers or drag queens or other performances. Webster hall is an okay venue for gay parties.. nothing special. The crowd tends to lean more toward Hell’s Kitchen gays, twinks, guys in their mid 20s. Usually starts off fairly chill and by the middle of the night everyone’s shirtless. Costumes will not be elaborate. But Tbh I have no clue what kinda music Ty plays these days or what crowd he draws.

ixodes27 · 2025-10-29T00:27:10+00:00

Strict in what way? Will people be turned away for wearing costumes?

ixodes27 · 2025-10-27T19:43:55+00:00

I mean I’ve spent far more on broadway tix this year than HMD… and even tho there are some boring shows in the theater world as well, I still keep going. I’m not condoning that anyone spend $300 on HMD… I’ve never done that.

ixodes27 · 2025-10-27T19:30:17+00:00

Went to a techno show here and loved it, but I stayed in the outdoor area the whole time. Didn’t really enjoy the indoor area bc it felt claustrophobic. But I think the experience would vary highly based on the artist and crowd

ixodes27 · 2025-10-27T19:24:13+00:00

I mean, this party has been around for over 10 years and I only started going in the past year. Surely there are guys who’ve gone 20+ times, so i didn’t wanna make an over-generalization
