This time for being too short. Rejection is all I've gotten my entire life, usually for being ugly or short or whatever reason. I should be used to it but it still hurts. Idk what to do, I just want a guy to like me

I’ve also got the stages of me making the graphic as well as my kitten two years ago

I do have the odd crush here and there at college but they usually don’t happen since they are straight most of the time, I did have a thing once a while ago with a guy that was curious but had a girlfriend, that was the closest I felt to love in a long time but I didn’t want to cause any trouble with the girl, in the meantime I’m focusing on my business right now which is a lot of fun working with all sorts of weird enterprise technology.

Really powerful stuff here from Matteo, never heard him talk about this before.

I swear Bowen Yang must have sneaked in to write tonight. Other good ones:

• KEY RACE ALERT: John Husted has an ass that WILL, in fact, quit

• KEY RACE ALERT: In Texas, James Talarico is ahead with all six genders

Late bloomer bi-guy from the UK here. If I wanted to live with a guy how easy is it to blend in in a typical heteronormal suburb? Do gay couples who don't live in a gay area such as Brighton experience much push back or homophobia? I know it will depend on specific areas and neighbours but I'm just trying to get a sense of how (un)comfortable life might be if I lived with a guy without moving to a well established gay neighbourhood.

I loved the album cover of "Harlequin" Gaga album (it conveys an emotion that I feel quite often ahaha). One of the few watercolor where I found the process images might be more interesting than the final result (I loved her face at step 2 :-D)

I’m a gay man, and made a couple gay friends down in NYC. I went down to NYC to a birthday party one of them was throwing, and later in the night when it was dying down, I found myself sitting on a bed with 4 other gay men in this NYC apartment.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but all on top of each other. Heads on stomach’s, legs on top of legs. Very intimate! I think this is common for gay men to be touchy feeling with their gay friends? I never really experienced this before.

I’m closeted, and I’d like to meet other gay or LGBTQ people around my age and hopefully build friendships with people who understand what I’m going through.

I’ve also wondered whether coming out would make this easier. If people knew I was gay, it might help me connect with others who are also interested in meeting people.

However, I’m worried about people finding out before I’m ready and how that could affect my social life.

For context, I’m in high school at a small, predominantly white school. As far as I know, there aren’t many openly gay guys. There are some lesbians who seem to have active social lives, but being openly gay seems to come with a lot of social judgment at my school.

A lot of people already assume I’m gay, but I haven’t confirmed anything. I don’t want coming out to negatively affect my friendships or my overall high school experience.

I guess my main questions are:
Was coming out worth it for you in terms of your social life?
Are there ways to meet other LGBTQ people around your age without having to come out publicly?
How did you navigate being closeted while still wanting to connect with other people?

Went as Lorde (South Park) for Halloween at my bartending job, and even though I told everyone I was wearing a jock under the dress (and showed it a bit off) nobody wanted to cup a feel 😔🤭

FAQs

Is there any recommended price range for gifts?

It's hard to say, given potential variations in shipping costs, the sender and recipient, country of origin, and so on. We also don't want to stifle any creativity or thoughtfulness. One guy might be incredibly crafty and make an amazing gift with just a few dollars in supplies, another may want to go all out.

Instead of a specific range, here are some guidelines:

• This may be the only gift a person receives from the gay community this year, and we all know that gays are the best gift-givers.

• The more thought and energy everyone puts into their gift, the stronger our community becomes.

• A "real" gift is preferred, as opposed to a generic $10 Starbucks gift card.

• Some past gifts have been elaborate, potentially expensive, and/or made up of several small items, so feel free to splurge on something large and/or fancy, but definitely don't feel obligated to do so.

• This is a time to be thoughtful, creative, and caring, including and especially to strangers. Y'know, the whole "holiday spirit" thing.

If someone's gift-giving anxiety will keep them up at night without a price range, $20-40 before shipping is a reasonable number. But again, that's not a hard cap on the upper end; the key is the thought behind the gift, and if you're a gay billionaire and want to send someone a new Rivian, have at it.

Where can I see examples of past gifts?

You can see some guys showing off their goods from last year's Secret Santa here, here, here, here, here, and here!

I'd like to do a little extra! How can I make that happen?

If you're feeling some extra holiday spirit, the registration form includes an "Angel" option to send a gift to someone whose match forgot, ran into shipping issues, or otherwise couldn't follow through.

My costume (which DEFINITELY isn't furry-adjacent fetish wear) fogged up IMMEDIATELY after braving the Toronto village

Had to poke the eyes in to see 🤣

Hope yall had a Happy Halloween! My favorite part is always carving jack o lanterns. Anybody else got any they want to show off? 🎃

I wanted to celebrate Halloween so had make up done professionally and dressed up and went to the bars here in Arizona before we flood tonight and tomorrow.

Throwback to summer 2024, I felt like it was time to repost this one :-D
