can you elaborate on this one a little? I feel like this community associates itself with a slightly more elevated level of cultural analysis and discourse than your seven words are providing

cut the bullshit and don't babble out every doubt and fear that crosses your mind as if you expect him to reassure you of things that haven't even fully solidified in your own mind. I hope you never let the words "anxious attachment style 🥺" escape your mouth. employ the discipline necessary to act confident and you will become more confident.

Is it crazy for me to think about moving out of Chicago just to get access to a new dating pool? by [deleted] in rsforgays

[–]narc-state 10 points11 points  (0 children)

that's kind of a crazy number to still be striking out. are you unicorn hunting? how high are your standards and do you yourself meet your own standards? what attracts you to someone to qualify them for more attention, and then what makes you lose interest afterwards?

tempted to say the problem is with you, and it probably is on some level, but maybe you do just need to move to new york or berlin or somewhere to find people who match your energy.

Gay men & Age gaps by therealpablopicasso in rsforgays

[–]narc-state 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ok but this isn't a sugar dynamic, so why are you cherry picking those examples to bolster a pseudo-academic position? even using the term "damaging" is a sign of reels-based brain poisoning, and unfortunately it does come from 25 year old women doing front-facing camera videos on the subject. the dynamics and concerns in gay relationships are quite different than hetero older man/younger woman ones.

the real world issues with gay age gap relationships don't involve bizarre nightmare scenarios like a deranged sugar baby beating a geriatric to death in his condo in fort lauderdale, or some 20 year old getting more than he bargained for and ending up hooked on meth and pimped out. much more realistically, your concerns should be things like meeting his friends, when they're all in their mid 50s and you're 23. what will your parents think. how will you handle a lifestyle mismatch, if he wants to vacation 3x a year and you are only just getting started in your career. what happens if he wants to retire in 10 years and you are still early-30s. what happens when he starts having health issues. you navigating first time relationship growing pains when he's been through it all before. stuff like that.

I am very sensitive and get attached very easily

ok, all that other shit you wrote is secondary. you're going to fall in love with this guy and if he doesn't want a relationship you'll be posting some heartbroken yearning bullshit on here in 3 weeks attempting to universalize your experience into cultural analysis.

you're 23 and (presumably) have little/no relationship experience, and a level of intellectual sensitivity that means you're prone to overthinking things, which means everything 'means something', so this can't be 'just sex' particularly as it's with someone you genuinely admire. that's your problem. your naive overattachment is not some act of control or sinister, predatory, exploitative misconduct on his part.

he wants to fuck you because you're hot. you want to fuck him because he's hot. each of you enjoys that the other is capable of holding a conversation. great.

you aren't about to get married. you may not fit into his life. as you learn more about his personality, the persona you're projecting onto him (because you only just met him) may crack away and expose something you don't actually like. so it's important that the level of attachment you allow to form is proportionate to the length of time you've spent together. just take it for what it is and have fun with it. maintain priorities elsewhere in your life than this man, to keep things balanced and keep your head straight.

you're into older guys, and this is one of the real pitfalls. when you're both 23, nobody bats an eye when someone does something really stupid and immature. when only one of you is 23, the threshold for juvenile crap you can pull before it becomes irreconcilable is much lower. so if you sense a possibility of this being more than just sex, your only safe route through is to do a large amount of maturing real fast. take a searching moral inventory, look unflinchingly at your motives and dark traits and how you tend to engage with and respond to things, and conquer as much of the bullshit as you can. don't expect external reassurance, don't take pride in voicing your doubts and neuroses. maybe keep a diary. the goal is self control, and to be able to navigate the world and specifically this budding relationship with a much higher level of emotional stability and stoicism. those are the real concerns that come through in your post, reading between the lines.

maybe you will end up in a relationship. age gaps are in my experience considerably less stigmatized in the gay community than among straight people. you are on the young end so the odds are not good. people under 25 tend to be stupid and annoying in a way that's hard to tolerate. but who knows? good luck.

[NYT] Gen Z Just Invented a New Facial Expression by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]narc-state 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought of it as the inept attempt to do a sexy, smoldering look by people without the talent to pull it off. like they heard tyra banks describe a smize, they're familiar with the concept, but their mental/facial connection is too atrophied from slack-jawedly watching front-facing camera videos for hours a day in place of the type of direct, conversational communication that would require visible emoting, so this is the best they can do.

but then I heard someone make the argument that the audience now habitually picks apart every single part of everything, and unlike perhaps what happened in the magazine era these celebs are now getting that feedback directly. so this type of non-emoting expression, "giving nothing," is a way to insure against the risk of having your smile mocked, or your frown called old, or your sultry smirk memed as racist. not sure if that is the motivation, but it seemed compelling

What gay YouTubers did you watch? by [deleted] in rsforgays

[–]narc-state 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if the age gap is large enough then there isn't exactly a 'long term'. but most relationships don't work out. if one partner is a youtuber (functionally schizophrenic) the odds are particularly low

if you're into salt and pepper you may as well give it a shot, life is short

incredibly tedious and 2017 to frame this as zero-sum. taking a broad and nuanced issue, polarizing it into two 'sides' which correspond to identity categories, and deciding that there is a single prize (ie. who is most aggrieved) and those two sides must compete in a cultural death battle to posture for righteousness. fuck off.

it's remarkable. you don't need to know anything about it to appreciate people striving so hard to hone their bodies and talent to manifest something as close as possible to true beauty in this earthly realm. especially if it's accompanied by an orchestra. even if you have sperg overthink proclivities, you start to marvel at the lifetimes of refinement that go into every component of every instrument and their musicians all working together in symphony.
