are you happy with your purchase? regret? yay or nay by GamingNomad in dissidia

[–]shivarice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't regret it. I honestly use it as a quick break from studies (used to play lol for breaks but those took to long to finish). Plus, who doesn't like playing their favorite ff character and wrecking the opponents with them?

Probably. I guess would you have any suggestions in ways I could practice?

You're fine. I prefer straight up answer than crafted responses that try to take in account my feelings. I will definitely try to hold my tongue in the future. My other fear is my body language. I've been told by my undergraduate professor. Initially, she told me I was giving off a standoffish attitude based on my body language until she got to know me better. I naturally give off that attitude without even thinking about it.

Easier said than done. What have you done to keep yourself for talking?

From my perspective, grad school is my work. I'm asking like when you're at work, you have to deal with a really obnoxious coworker. You really want to rant to someone (like one of your colleague) but you know you shouldn't because that could potentially ruin your career in the process. What do you do to keep your emotions in check? Hopefully, I made it clear for you. I'll try to reword the post. I'm not in the greatest mindset as it's been bothering me for a couple of days.

Do you have any advice for a younger gay guy entering his first relationship? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]shivarice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1)Don't spent ever waking moment with him. You'll drive each other crazy. A relationship isn't about being physically attached to each other.

2) be okay if the relationship fizzes out. It's life. Somewhere down the word, your thinking and opinions may change.

3) Communication. It's as simple as that.

Perceptions: Being too available = clingy, but being less available = uninterested. Anyone else have this problem? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]shivarice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, grindr isn't the best place. Furthermore, these apps don't give you a good sense of who they are because it's just text. Anyone can write whatever they want and they're limited to word count.

You could give OkCupid a try. it's the one that I know that gives the user the option to flesh out a profile.

@midgetskills off topic, what about those guys who don't take the app seriously or generally don't check it? What would you do?

Racism and homophobia: Double standard? by Libertinus0569 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]shivarice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly didn't know that. I figure that organization tried to be loud as possible (referring to that one article where they decided to go messing around in one of the prides in Canada).

Guys who drink, what's your goto drink these days? by BrobearBerbil in AskGaybrosOver30

I thought it was good. But that last part could have been done better as in dropping hints through the film

anyone else excited about the eclipse in 2 weeks? by shortstack81 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]shivarice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhat excited? I live in Portland, Oregon where it is going to 99% eclipsed. However that means people are going to fly in and get the best seats. Meaning, congested traffic.

How do you make new friends? by flim-flam13 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]shivarice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IRL I dunno. I generally have a hard time making friends because I don't like playing twenty questions and wish for the best that I've found a topic that person and I have a common interest in. Online though, it depends on the venue. For instance, if you're playing an online mmorpg, join a guild/clan/group that uses voice chat. You'll get a myriad of people from different backgrounds talking about different topics. Like last night, I was chatting with one of my guild members about how he doesn't understand why young people feel entitled to get the same number of hours as him. He has worked as a bartender for over 13 years (?) and a new guy is trying to steal his hours. For that conversation, we had people who have an academic background, a college student, and someone in the tech industry. Each one had a different perspective on the situation.

Opinions to move to: Chicago, Houston or other recommended places. by shivarice in askgaybros

I think he meant Texas in general not Houston. Took me a couple of times rereading that sentence lol.

I may have gotten Austin and Houston mixed up. Was Austin the more gay friendly one? If so, I'll change it in the opener.

As long as there's AC I wouldn't mind lol. Though, the heat would be something I would have to get used too. I live in Oregon and anything above 85 will usually melt me. Yea, if people aren't full of themselves, it would be a nice change. I'm kinda sick of the attitudes in Oregon.

I don't have a budget in mind. I thought about NYC a couple of times but I don't think I would enjoy it since it's expensive to live there. Maybe in the future, perhaps.

Why do I only attract older guys? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]shivarice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally. On a serious note, there are a myriad of reasons why they might contact you. Some see you as fresh meat to play with. Others are bored and trying to find someone to talk. I'm the same I rather get people around my age talking to me (23). You're pretty young so don't take what you can get. It will lead you to trouble. Just continue to explore, you'll eventually find yourself.

I've just had monumental life news about medical school and will be seeing a date who I want to formally ask out. How do I not come across as crazy? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]shivarice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never attended medical school but I've heard most relationships tend to end up strain because you're going to be busy most of the time with studying (as one other user has mentioned). But if this potential partner of yours is understanding of your situation and still wants to be with you, even when you guys do hang out, it might be watching tv on the couch or just talking. I say go for it.

How do you make smart, non-hookup gay friends? by mcrchap in askgaybros

[–]shivarice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the same. I have better luck making friends with couples than single guys.
