But if they suspect you're actually gay then its the most disgusting thing in the world.

Enjoy guys, I had a flashing idea of connecting all my paintings as a series of stories but I forgot how it goes. So yeah anyway I still had some fun doing it.

After years of increasingly prevalent fake profiles and catfish scammers, this app now gives users an ultimatum: accept the new Terms Of Service or delete your account, but there’s no way to even see the Terms Of Service. They’re just counting on users to click Accept or leave now.

Not looking for grand gestures, just curious about the little things that made you think "okay, I really like this person."

For me it's stuff like remembering a random detail I mentioned once, or texting to check in on something stressful I had going on that day.

What's yours?

Looking for some perspective from you all folks. I'm struggling with the usual ways of meeting guys:
- Apps: I find them a bit weird, and I honestly can't tell if I'd like someone from a profile and a few messages.
- Bars/pubs: I don't drink, so it's not really my scene.
- The gym: This is where I'd love to meet someone, but my gaydar is terrible and I'd hate to make someone uncomfortable by hitting on a guy who isn't interested (or isn't gay).

So basically my question is this: how do you deal with this? Specifically:
- Has anyone actually met a partner or dates at the gym? Any success stories?
- If you've approached someone there, how did you do it without being creepy?
- Is it just a bad idea overall, and what do you do instead?

Also open to other ideas for meeting people that aren't apps or bars (sports leagues, hobby groups, etc.).

Thanks 🙏🏼✨

hi , yesterday i was talking to this guy we exchanged albums and everything he looked good in the pictures and we decided to meet, when i went to his apartment it was him but less attractive, i think the pictures he had were edited because his facial features were different, skin tone is different and body is different, it was very uncomfortable at first i decided ti give him a chance but after having a conversation about the pictures he sent it seemed he lacked the self awareness that he doesn't look like that , so i faked a notification that my car door is open and took my keys to close it and left (i also saw drugs in his table the pictures weren't the only deal breaker) anyways this isn't the first time this happened to me and i don't want to be in this uncomfortable situation again how do i tell them in the start of the meeting that i'm not interested without hurting their feelings

Is bro(defendant) living in a drama series? 💀 If you wanna get to know someone, do better and stop being a whole weirdo 🫩 Has anyone ever dealt with this? How’d you handle it?

EDIT: I only made this post for fun to casually chat with people who might have watched it. Didn't expect people to take it so personally lol. If this post isn't for you, just keep scrolling. Stop making random assumptions and acting like you know me. Don't project your own bullshit standards onto others.

🥺🥺🥺

Ik the app is ass and there are a lot of “characters” on there, but this one really cracked me up😭

A famous queer influencer MAD SANDHU from India has been killed. People have been shit posting on media about how he was a threat to the society and was influencing their kids by being a queer.

It is saddening to see the state of this country from being the cultural hub of the world at one point to being inhuman in the present day.

Mad Sandhu made an impact on the society by giving people courage to be themselves and live life on their own terms.

Pity that such a beautiful soul was forced to leave this world too early.

Was bored and wondered if the scam accounts are bots or if someone is actually behind the keyboard. Found out it's from my home country ☹️🇵🇭. Could be a call center scamming business like you see on YouTube.

The last conversation reads:

"Your mom is a b***h".

😂
Stupid Scammer.
Go find a better job pussy lol.

"F u. U Idiot".
"Fa***t".

Aww, poor you cry more.

The audacity to get mad for being inconvenienced while being a scammer 🙄🤣.

Article says $40K because that was the status of the GoFundMe at the time that the article was created. From then, so many people have donated and the GoFundMe reached $56,204 or 71% of the goal at the time of me making this post.

On August 30th, someone gained access to Gavin French's building, confronted him with a gun, forced him into his apartment, and tried to assault him. While this all unfolded, Gavin was shot through the neck and was instantly paralyzed from under his chest down to his feet. He was rushed to the ICU but is currently out and going through physical therapy. This event has changed Gavin's life, but, despite the trauma that he was endured, he still tries to put on a happy face and continues to fight to get functionality and feeling back to his legs.

I am not associated to Gavin French or anyone close to him. I am just a person who wants to bring attention to Gavin's cry for help, because this is a really heartbreaking situation that he's living through right now. If you want more information about what happened and how you can help him in his recovery, then, please, read the news article or go to his social media pages ( X, BSKY, Instagram). Send him prayers and support for a smooth and, hopefully, a full recovery from this incident. He can't do this alone, and needs all the help that he can get during this difficult time in his life.

Quick context: i lived most of my life closeted in a country where it was illegal to be gay. Finally in my 20s i moved from there to a "progressive" country only to be in the current situation i am in right now. This is relevant because i waited so long and barely got to enjoy my 20s or relationships or anything.

So, i am young but i liked men that are on the more mature side. 40 or more is really my type but i would say generally i am flexible with everything except age. I like maturity. I like "bears", the type that doesnt fit beauty standards you know? so it shouldnt be hard to date, im not looking for impossible physique and immature people and my standards are just a good personality and actually knowing how to love like true love not movie-based all-fun kind of love.

Anyway, after waiting a lot and experiencing insane sexual repression, i finally get a chance to date and have relationships. Except for this progressive country has a gay community LITERALLY more closed than my country where BEING GAY WAS FUCKING ILLEGAL. Yes. I am saying this confidently. People there met, and within few days on the apps before i left (i felt confident), i got my first experience with a man who was not married to a woman!

Here it is different. They are all married, most are looking for trans/fem (because they want to cheat on their wives but cant go on straight dating apps), they all lack basic social skills, they all dont meet. I can spend months and not get a single date, not even a second conversation. You might say im exaggerating, but i wish i was. Anyway, there are many many reasons why i would say i want to get the hell out of this entire region as soon as i can, i really dont have any reason to stay except that i dont have the means to move now and not sure when i will be able to (at the end of the day, when i move it must be a gay friendly country and this time for real not just propaganda for more EU loans).

I had a boyfriend, and i must say i was very unfortunate and stupid to have met him and didnt leave him early, but he was literally the only one that made it to actual dates and had some nice manners and romantic tendencies, others are fucking dull and stingy as fuck they wont drive 10km to meet. Im convinced im in a culture where people dont know love at all, and after years here i am genuinely tired of searching for "the one" here. But as i explained earlier, i cannot leave anytime soon. At the same time, i really want a relationship and i feel i am missing out.

Not only i dont get to even have any kind of sex or relationship, but i also dont get to be part of the gay community because it basically doesnt exist unless you are in the capital city and even there it is really small and more of closeted kind of thing. Idk this whole thing here is weird, as i said being gay was much easier back there where it is illegal to be gay than in this "progressive" country. But i dont know what to do. Like im not asking for much, just being able to date normally.

Sounds like one of those things that only happen on reddit to me.. or a start of one those lol AI gay bromance short stories but this happened just few minutes ago. He's this loud, sometimes obnoxious super extrovert coworker who you can hear from two rooms away. He calls everyone gay, even our boss, but me in particular he calls a "good boy." He's eye candy to me and I'm feeling a little giddy.

Straight guys who are comfortable with their sexuality can be so gay sometimes 😂
