Everything worth having and fighting for involves risk- and that means getting your heart broken from time to time. If you sit in a cocoon, you'll miss out on a lot of what life has to offer. You have to keep looking. Focus on what you want in another person and also the person you would like to be. Love isn't going to just come along, you have to go find it. On the other hand, taking time out doesn't hurt either-as long as you plan to get back into the swing of things at some point.

Oh eventually I'll get back into it. For now I am content with things...besides I am in the middle of changing jobs so I have very little time for anything while working both of them.
 
Add me to the list:
Paragonvictim: The dyke that couldn't commit!
P.S..Can you see why!! This is what I was surrounded by (I'm the blonde on the left)

I got you. Sometimes I can't believe I maintain my social life. I work like a fiend.

Ditto. As long as I am taking courses, I am all work, very little play. I would love to have a closer relationship with someone, but I know it would stress me out even beyond what I am currently with classes and teaching. I am not trying to escape social endeavors, because I still have plenty of fun, but I have an uber independent personality and can get by wonderfully without social interaction.

This is an amazing thread. I absolutely love the personalities on this forum.

:D YEAH! Hi Pretty big lesbian looloopoopie! :)
You have revived the thread
 
paleck said:
It's just not my personality to take advantage of other people. :eek: Nor am I agressive, not settling for what comes my way. For now I just have removed myself from the dating pool, mostly to protect myself from being taken advantage of. :cool:

I know that feeling all too well. :(

I know what you mean, but you have to admit that then there are people like myself that have been totally used and abused. Some would argue that people like myself set myself up for it. And in some ways maybe I did. Or maybe I just met the one of the few that could keep a lie going for 10+ years.
 
You're Right

Alright, enough! I don't think we want this thread going to the political forum. Go to the political forum and start a thread there. Let's keep this one fun, please!

You're right. Sorry - I go into "teaching" mode when I hear things like that.

Let's get back to the fun. Lessee - Steve in jeans. Yummmm! ;)
 
So, did someone say something about Jeans.... :)
naughty dirty men in tight constricting well worn jeans :D

Have I taken your minds off of the bad people who invaded our thread :)
(I have also included the Diesel ad from the late 90's, just cause I like it)

What a great site!

Having come of age in the late 70s early 80s, there were absolutely no postive portrayals of homos in the media. It's so refreshing and empowering to see same sex couples portrayed in ways most of them live their lives.

On a side note, when the gay marriage issue began to gain steam, I wasn't all that enthusiastic about it, but after hearing from couples who have tied the knot legally, I realized that being able to marry the one you love is the ultimate in empowerment.

I am continually amazed at how far homos have come in the 25 years since I graduated high school. I can only hope that the next 25 years will bring as much change as the last 25 did.

I went to prom with my boyfriend, his and mine back in 94 (Different schools)
My way of giving them the middle finger since I hated just about everyone in that place including the facilty and standing up for who I am and standing up for those who couldnt.

What comes about in the next 25 years will be something else.
 
"Let's keep the list going!

1. leekohler - one frightening, monstrous homo. Don't drop the soap.

3. question fear-former BDOC (big dyke on campus-back in the day...)
4. vniow - MR's favourite gender****ing trans dyke
5. Chip NovaMac - A Big Ol' Bear with a heart the size of Texas (and it appears the brain the size of RI when it comes to cheating/lying spouses ) - who could get used to wearing linen
6. neildmitchell - College boy. ?So, you got something you want to teach me?
7. scem0 - newbie who is thinking about dropping the soap after reading #1 .
8. Paragonvictim - the dyke who couldn't commit."

A&F rocks for homo-erotic advertising in my book. Borders on being illegal in at least 5 states. :D

As a member of the Class of '76 I know where you are coming from. Never thought I would see in my life time a Gay Cable Network (Pride Vision). Or the ability to be open at work in a retail environment. I remember all too well the "Monday Morning Pronoun Game"; where Joe became Josephine. My ex and I were like any other couple to the people I work with. And to their credit they were just as upset as I was was when 12+ years came to an abrupt end.

I remember all too well during the '80's the trials that I went through. I ran SAIN (STD's AIDS Information Network, the first BBS to address sexually transmitted diseases among the Gay and Bi-sexual community); and that gave me lots of media exposure. One customer refused to "served" by "one of them"; to my bosses credit - he told the guy that he was not welcomed in the store any more. But that did not erase the hurt of my lover at the time and I being shunned by my co-workers at an office picnic.

Empowerment is what it is all about. The laws of the land are to be applied equally. It took some groups 200+ years to get that far. You would have thought that we could have learned from the past.

heh. There was one gay couple in my prom in '94. It was a big deal to some (right-wing Christian types,) but not that big a deal to most. Even to those who didn't know that either of them were gay.

What I thought funny was in college, me and another guy went to an Air Force ROTC dance together. Neither of us is/was gay, but we were the only two liberal guys in ROTC, so we thought it was funny. I then went on to drop out of ROTC, he stayed in. (He's in Military Intelligence last I heard...)
