GayWay - the gay and lesbian discussion (aka. Any Gays here?)

Restraint - Not the bondage variety

this is bugging me, when I type it just sticks straight up in the air, because I don't use it or anything. I leave that to my right hand. don't ask

I will not rise to the occasion.
I will exercise extreme moderation.
I will leave my sick humour away from this post.
I will not............

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, oops damn just pee'd myself.

Hey guys

Em, Kevin, yeh i know how futile it is, which is why i never do anything about it. Just needed to know i'm not the only one that keeps falling for str8 boys

Kevin, problem is i just have straight mates. Seriously almost all my friends are straight guys, with the odd straight woman thrown in. I have two gay mates, and they're like a married couple. (So AJW, i'm with slooksterPSV, can you please find me a bf too )

Guitarius, the hair looks cool. I'm going in the opposite direction. After 12 years of short hair, i'm growing it again. Just to see what it looks like It's currently in the oh-my-god-that-looks-like-**** phase. Too short to be long and too long to be short. (you know what i mean)

Vniow, lesbian sepratist, almost pissed myself when i read that. Made my morning. I'm having visions of vniow in rambo gear with an MK assault rifle in one hand and an AK47 strapped over the shoulder. Red headband, with a little rainbow flag embroided on the front (a bit of detailing clearly done by one of her gay-male friends). Leading a team of GI janes storming the island of Lesbos. [ok so maybe my imagination is a bit over active ]

Oh and well done everyone on reaching [dr evil voice] One Huundreed pages [/dr evil voice]

Edit:
Dodgy, just noticed you blog mate, and btw you are hot!!!

Oh Zaid, you live in one of the largest and most vibrant cities in the world. Surely your two gay friends could either set you up, or suggest clubs, pubs or bordellos to frequent. How about making a post asking the advice of the London based members. Gosh, down here at the other end of the world it's hard to imagine that such a city as London could be so uninviting. I guess that Wellington is pretty well sized, and Kiwis are very open and easy going compared to a big cosmo city. Suppose I'm lucky to be in a place like this, but I can be as lonely as the next man, and as much to do with my sliding health as the city.

True, and yeh the gay seen here is great. But that's if you want to go out clubbing, hook up with a guy for a one-nighter etc. (which to be honest i'm getting a bit tired of). But its kind of difficult to meet people for more than that. Part of it is prob my fault. I don't put myself out there enough and retreat into my comfort zone with my mates. But it's also partly a critical mass problem. I work in a very hetro dominated industry (finance) and am the only gay guy in our office. So i won't meet anyone there. Then i feel kind of weird going to gay clubs and bars alone (i normally end up going with my str8 mates ), and when i do, and someone shows interest (back) its just been one-nighters. I guess i just need to put myself out there more. (and leave my str8 mates for a while )

Also it doesn't help that most gay guys who meet me think that i'm straight
(well when i'm sober that is )

Nate

Someone gets an super huge hug 'n' kiss tonight . And trust me, my love for you is as much as can be, and I don't want to spend my life with anyone else either.

*snatches nate*
~Cali here we come!

That is so sweet, my eyes are all watered. AJW (Brian) you have a good man it sounds like, if things should ever go wrong, work out those items, cause he sounds like a keeper.

As someone pointed out yesterday, the very mention of his name (or various nicknames) welcomes a broad smile to my face. I've never encountered someone as sweet and caring as him--he's definitely a keeper.

To be honest, I don't think the thread will ever be as fun as it once was because of the new restrictions.

Have faith!
Go back and re-read some of the earlier pages and the humour there...
so I for one have great confidence!

Yep, just look at the number of posts since the dust up. We'll be just fine here.

 

[scem0]

I sure do hope so .

I'm hungry... I feel like all I do is eat, but I'm still losing weight, what the hell? In the past 24 hours I've eaten 2 huge salads, a huge Asian meal (rice with pork), and a large noodle dish yet I'm starving once again. Despite all this eating, my stomach is the flattest it's been in years and years. I guess all this dancing, walking, and exercise is revving up my appetite. I'm actually trying to eat a lot of protein in an effort to bulk up in fat and muscle. I don't want to be skinny . Is it weird that I want a fair amount of bulk on me?

Not that unusual, just look at some pics from my past that I posted here, and the one that I just posted. Extreme, yes. That is life with an enabler that liked 'em "chubby". But back in my youth, I was always on the dance floor, and on the go.

In the end we sometimes want the opposite of where we are.

Nah that sounds fine, just be careful that if you do that you keep up the activity levels. Else... you wouldn't want to know

Over active gets the understatement of the year award. An interesting image indeed. Funny as all hell.

I once had your same problem. All my friends were straight guys. I forced myself to make gay friends- had too. Hanging around with straight guys wasn't getting me anywhere. While I still hang out with and love my straight friends, it was so important for me to not be around them all the time.

Yeh i'm just going to have to make a concerted effort to make gay friends, and get myself out there a bit more

 

[scem0]

Back in Texas, my guy friends were straight, but now that I'm at an Art School in New York, its hard to even find a straight person . It's a good and a bad thing. Of the 4 guys in my suite, 3 of us are gay and the straight one doesn't talk much .

My field (finance) is the other way around. Almost entirely straight and male.
The guys in my office are great tho, absolutely no issues at all with me being gay (and i am completly out in the office). I'm just one of the lads as far as they're concerned. Which is good and bad i guess. It'll never occur to them to introduce me to any other gay guys that they know.

Oh and Em, maybe you lot should be nicer to the token breeder in your suite Bring him out of his shell. Can't be easy living with 3 gay guys (even if you are gay )

 

[scem0]

He's just naturally quiet, he's very cool with our homosexuality. We often joke about stuff. We like to ask him questions like "what do you like about boobs? Do you like big boobs or small ones?" etc, etc, etc. He's very cool with it.

And no, it isn't easy living with a gay guy. Well, a stereotypically gay one at least. I've already posted about my room mate and his steretypical gayness. Basically, he blasts Hillary Duff and Cher all day long. Drives me nuts. He always wants to talk to me about celebrities and how he wish Lindsey Lohan would start doing coke again. Our biggest argument since living together has been about whether or not models should do coke . I think that it sends a horrible message to little girls who idolize supermodels when they are using drugs to stay skinny. I think models should be normal sized, and not human barbie dolls. Anyways, I won't bore anyone with the details. He loves celebrities and anything that's stereotypically gay, and it can really get on my nerves. It saddens me more than anything. He doesn't have much of an identity to call his own. But he is nice, and I'd rather have the biggest flamer in the world as a room mate than a mean person. I can't stand people who are rude.

I hear you bruv. I knew a couple of guys like this in my halls when i was at uni. Not easy to live with (and i didn't even need to share a room with them)

Agreed. I don't understand the whole cult of the celebrity. I mean nothing could be more boring. I couldn't care less who is shagging which Z-list celebrity, or who's done anything naughty etc. I've got more important things (like my own life) to worry about.

But he is nice, and I'd rather have the biggest flamer in the world as a room mate than a mean person. I can't stand people who are rude.

Very true.

I'm very 'unstereotypical'. (with bunny rabbit ears)
Pretty much a straight guy (in terms of sterotypes) who happens to fancy guys. (oh and also without the whole general slobbyness and non-concern with apperarance aspects of the straight stereotype ) I think that's also what i find attractive in other guys. I have no issues with effeminate guys, i just don't find them attractive. What i want is a guy that can stimulate me (mentally and physically ) can make me laugh and with whom I can have a good time. (which occassionally includes lads weekends to foreign cities to get rat-arsed on beer and clubbing)

When I told my straight suite mate about what happened at Splash that one infamous night (Getting Splashed at Splash), he laughed and said "Emerson - I didn't think you were gay when I didn't know you, but now that I know you, you are the gayest person I know" . That is pretty accurate though. I really really really like men, but I don't conform to most of the stereotypes. I don't consider myself "straight-acting" though. I've always considered myself to be "Emerson-acting" which isn't really anywhere in between. I'll draw a diagram:

While on the subject of sexual ambiguity, check out one of the shirts that I'm planning on making which I'll wear at the times that I don't want to be ambiguous .

I have a feeling that by the end of my 4 years at Parsons I'll be a huge flamer - it's hard not to pick up what you're surrounded by.

Don't you dare. If you start talking about models and celebrities al the time, I'll kill you!

 

[scem0]

Don't try to intimidate me, I know you're a total softy on the inside .

And the only celebrity that you have to worry about me talking about is Mariah . You'll love her when you go back to Chicago after I'm done with you . My room mate and I had an argument last night about whether Mariah or Cher is more talented , it was actually quite amusing. But that argument encouraged me to put Mariah on my desktop (not for long though, I prefer to have Bjork on my desktop):

Oh how I miss the days of the permed hair Mariah with the cookie cutter ballads . I wish new, hip-hop Mariah would see that she is capable of being so much better than she is. Sigh...

_Emerson

edit - I convinced myself to change it to Bjork immediately after posting :

Much better.
