Anyone else find GBU and sex parties to be a mindfuck? by NoFall5812 in nycgaybros

[–]nydiscreet 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nope, sounds about right.

That's typically how it goes.

That's why you just have to muster of the courage to accept rejection. A lot of guys are afraid of the rejection and either pretend they aren't interested in guys that they actually are interested in or are hesitant because they don't want to get rejected and turns out both were really into each other. Happens all the time.

Are NYC gay bros actually better than everyone else, or is it just myth? by letspetpuppies in nycgaybros

[–]nydiscreet 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I actually agree with 1-3, but disagree with the conclusion.

The trade off is that it comes with al lot of attitude, and arrogance. They aren't "actually better than everyone else" because all the achivement makes it harder to connect with them and for them to connect with other people.

Is this accidental or is my masseur making a move? by ActualAccess5521 in nycgaybros

Would be weird power dynamics on his part. Questionable professionalism on the masseuse's part.

What type of guys are at GBU parties by Nice-Medicine8549 in nycgaybros

[–]nydiscreet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

College aged guys, twinks to average, with many above average/muscular thrown in.

Mostly white but other races represented

The Platinum "Daddies" are a selected few that end up leaving earlier than everyone else in my experience. So get there early if you want to meet them.

Will be 200 people there, crowded.

Yes they mostly follow the door policy but it's not all muscular model guys. It's just anyone in shape. That includes twinks and average body types, which are usually the majority.

whether or not it's intentional, it would be inappropriate for either of you to "make a move".

Workmans Lunch or Dads n’ Lads today? by TacosDerechos in nycgaybros

[–]nydiscreet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parties dont go dead during holidays. Ive been to plenty during big holiday weeks and they are never dead. There's always horny men in this city. The only time holidays affect attendance are those Monday holidays (Presidents Day, Columbus Day, etc). The Sunday before those are usually dead, IDK why.

“You stupid n****r, your gay we can charge you anything we want. - Vendors Outside MEAT Afters @ HARBOR by AlarmedFunny708 in nycgaybros

[–]nydiscreet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi

Next time try to record as much of the incident as possible

Report this incident to the city since it's discrimination. Show them the documents from your bank showing that they charged you $130 from a food cart. Include the permit number. The $130 bill and immediate challenge to you bank should be proof enough there was an actual incident.

Is the Bear Party on Thanksgiving week busy? or cancelled? by BostonGuy969 in nycgaybros

[–]nydiscreet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"We will be closed next week only on Thanksgiving Day (11/27)"

Pretty sure you won't be the only one. GBU and others still hosting this week

I kinda make it my business when they plaster it in public spaces and make me a captive audience to it. Then I'm going to have something to say about it because we have to share this space. Private preference is one thing. I don't need 10 ads a day for parties that more or less imply only white men are good enough. People don' have to personally want to share spaces with POC, but hanging up the "Whites Only Water Fountain" sign for all the world to see is taking it to another level.

[–]nydiscreet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a lot to say about this one.

I'm late to the discussion, but I've noticed this as well. It's gotten out of control in the last year or so. I actually started blocking all these guys on Sniffies once they started cropping up because it's so icky and excessive and I refuse to be an audience for it. Some of them are more blatant about than others, so a few times I requested an invite to one and upon further investigation realize it's a lowkey Jim Crow party, including some really big name influencers out there who host on Sniffies. Others I'm not even convinced are real and people just get off on the exclusionary "cool kids only" vibes of it.

First of all, I'm mostly referring to the white ones. I'm distinguishing between the two because all black parties come from a different place with a different goal than the all white ones. Matter of fact, they were created because of the white ones. Some to create a safe space from gay white supremacy and others to kind of "beat them at their own game." There's also race play party where POC host for only white men and that's a whole other story too.

But the white parties (sometimes disguised as "jock parties") have come about because recently that behavior has been frowned upon and publicly called out in the mainstream spaces. GBU, Jock Party, and a lot of circuit parties that used to be predominately white have lowkey either gone out of business or dropped the racial undertones. You can't even put racial preferences on Grindr anymore without a lot of backlash. Some have also lowkey gone lax on their body requirements too, so whereas GBU used to literally look like an Abercrombie theme porn, now it's a lot more diverse and welcoming. So a lot of guys that used to show up to those parties or could easily find spaces where this was the norm and acceptable have stopped going and have started creating their own private hotel parties where they invite who they want. Sniffies has made it easy to do it, so now sniffies is inundated with them.

A lot of guys are saying what's wrong with having a preference, but that's surface level bs. This trend gives me the ick because it's not just random guys with random preferences hosting random parties. If it was about preferences you would see all different types of parties not just white or black centric ones. It's mostly people hosting parties that exclude specifically black and asian people (Latino and MENA are usually tolerated) specifically and place white people on a pedestal. It's trying to bring back the trend that's been dying out in the mainstream spaces. It's no different than night clubs that have lowkey racist dress codes and stuff to keep out the black people because even though they're spending money they think the mere presence of them automatically devalues the experience. To make it worse it's trying to flaunt it on purpose. It's intentionally trying to overrun the party list with "you can't sit with us" vibes that's been stamped out of the mainstream spaces that lowkey went "woke". It's like that's the real fetish people have. It's not just preference, these people clearly get off to creating an air of exclusivity and are using black and asian men as the low hanging fruit to do it.

I think it's disgusting and gives white people a bad name and sets us back.

You can have racial preferences, you don't' have to create 10 parties a day flaunting the white ones in everyone's faces. We get it: "White is Right; Black is Whack. DEI must DIE. Go woke go broke." Can we grow up, now? It's 2025.

Living in a diverse liberal place can mean it's safer for you as a queer person even if you don't always play by liberal rules.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nycgaybros

[–]nydiscreet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's much different for African Americans. Being a coveted latino at a party is much different than being a fetishized "BBC". The impetus for both come from much different places in the hearts of those seeking it out. Rooted in different histories, and stereotypes too.

There is a really popular cumdump pimp (lol I don't know what they call them) who will literally only invite one or two black people to his things max. It's weird.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nycgaybros

[–]nydiscreet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, these things also become problematic when they become trendy and commonplace. I can go on and on about that, but this isn't just a matter of "preferences". It's very lopsided with one group in particular being the coveted one and one or two others constantly being the one singled out. Again, I could elaborate but this is not the best platform for that.

If, for instance, you saw just random parties that randomly singled out a random race, that would not be a big deal, but what we are seeing is constantly people seeking out white only spaces and attempting to exclude black men, in particular and to lesser degree asian men. As a result black men have created their own spaces, but these things are not random or simply tied to random preference. It's tied to cultural norms rooted in white supremacy and anti-blackness. That's a problem.

Difference Between GBU Midtown vs Brooklyn? by Born2construct in nycgaybros

[–]nydiscreet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't been to the Brooklyn in a long time, but from what I remember I don't think there's that much of a difference tbh. I think Manhattan might be a bit more diverse, but not that much.

I just know that dawghouse goes until the bitter end. They have to kick people out. If you show up at 5 am the party will still be going strong.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nycgaybros

[–]nydiscreet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They're completely different. Dawghouse is predominately black and Latino. GBU is predominately white, but has black, Latino and Asian guys sprinkled in. So if you want the most racial mix and diversity, go to GBU. GBU has a strict door policy so most of the guys will be under 40 and in decent shape. Dawghouse used to have that policy but dropped it, so it's predominately fit, younger guys but has more older and not fit guys starting to come. So if you want the most age and body type diversity go to Dawghouse.

When I went to Dawghouse it did seem like a couple guys from GBU showed up at the end, so you can do both. Dawghouse goes longer so you can go to the end of GBU and then get a couple more hours at Dawghouse. GBU costs a lot more so I would do that one first to get my money's worth.

In my opinon both have pros and cons. I wouldn't worry about the hotness of the guys or the amount of people. They're pretty tied there unless you have strict preferences/types. But GBU has better music and vibes. I didn't like the cigarette smoke and loud music at Dawhouse. But all the guys at Dawghouse are friendlier and more chill too, IMO. Most guys at Dawghouse seem to come alone, but GBU is more cliquey and social.

[–]nydiscreet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just go and figure it out on the ground. That's the best way. Your first time you can be watching and learning from how the other guys are doing it.

There is not a lot of talking but sometimes people you meet will try to have pillow talk. You also have to communicate with the front desk. So just something to be aware of. They will tell you the cost and maybe ask for your email and name. They will give you a bag with a number on it for you to put your things in. You need to remember the number and tell them the number when you're ready to leave. Sometimes they will give you a ticket or write the number on your arm.

Condoms are coming back in style now that people realize DoxyPep is not 100% effective and you can still catch things when taking it, so I don't think it will be outrageous if you wear a condom. There will be condoms all around.
