Yes, my husband and I cuddled through the family video chat.

His sister got us a tortilla pattern blanket that we wrapped around ourselves. ^.^

Aww that sounds lovely. Ya know, having a husband. T_T

Oh and I also received a tortilla blanket from my uncle. After that, I had to go hide the one I had previously received as a gift so he wouldn't see it lol.

Marrying him was the best decision I ever made.

For some of my friends, getting married was the worst decision they every made so I'm not going to suggest it as a blanket recommendation.

Tortilla pattern though, 10 / 10. Would recommend.

You aren't even really reading my posts; you're just staring at your e-mail client and fondly reminiscing about that hobo you stabbed to death. :P
Myself(right), and my hubby of 28 years. Wishing you happy holidays!

What?

I posted a pic of myself and my partner of 28 years, wishing everyone happy holidays. I guess because we're both mature men, their mind went to "lemon party".
I decided to delete the pic because I didn't appreciate the reference, and didn't want to derail your topic.

Oh, thats messed up! Sorry that happened honestly, I would hope this would be a positive topic and not one where we drag each other down. For the record Id love to find a guy to settle down with for 28+ years, fuck the haters.

No worries, we'll keep it all about that positivity!

Happy new year everyone. Any good resolutions? I think mine is to quit smoking and start working out more. I lost close to 100 pounds last year, so its time to finish what I started.
i wanna try to enter more tournaments (unlikely) and maybe capitalize on my disability and be a streamer (never gonna happen)

more importantly though i wanna get some confidence

quit smoking

Once you're past all the initial pain points, you'll absolutely love that you made the decision to quit. I'm 8 years smoke-free, (after smoking for 30 years), and I feel so great.
You can do it!

Im doing well on picking the exercise back up, but I bought more cigarettes today FML. Its so stupid.

Another thing Im working on this year is being more choosy about hookups. No more discreet meet ups, and no more married men or closet cases. I dont really want a relationship or anything, but sneaking around with some of my regular partners has gotten old. Idk why, the intimacy is nice and NSA is good for me right now, but having to be so secretive has kind of killed some of the charm for me lately.

I had a guy tell me he was married after we finished.... I swore them off at that moment too

Any games y'all are playing or looking forward to this year? I'm most excited for Tales of Graces f and Trails through Daybreak 2 or whatever it's called

Oh, nice! Even keeping off what you have would be an accomplishment. Good luck!

I don't smoke but also need to lose weight.

Any of y'all played Souldiers? I was really enamored with it for its beautiful pixel art when it was announced, but then when it came out a few years ago, the reviews and reception were... not great. I finally said screw it the other night and bought it anyway and have been enjoying it. It's pretty charming if you can get over the loading times and occasional crashing.

Does anyone else feel increasingly only wanting to hang out with other gay guys? Im not slay the house down girlies but also tend to feel out of place around straight guys.

I definitely get the discomfort around straight guys part. Or at least a lack of chemistry. Granted, that's me with most of any demographic anyway, but still.

It's a Metroidvania. You pick a class (swordsman, archer, or mage) at the start and each one has a different combat moveset. As you go, you get new moves for traversal and combat and presumably the three classes get even more distinct. It's been challenging at points, but it does let you change the difficulty at any time if you need to.

it's just more comfortable being around other lgbtq people honestly

also the fact that donald trump just got elected it makes me weary of a lot of straight men (i live in texas too so)

Honestly, I wish I knew how to meet gay people better besides like the apps where I just hook up with people. I made a really great friend on Grindr, we half ass fell in love I think, and he moved to Pennsylvania for a job and I havent met anyone interesting since. It doesnt help that Im busy raising my son and taking my dad to doctor appointments because he has cancer. One of these days Ill have time to meet people.
Try the meetup app.
You'll have a better chance of meeting gay men on there who are interested in more than just hookups.

But you can also meet decent guys on grindr. Just have to ask the right questions and tailor your approach.

I second the recommendation of Meetup. It's where I found my local LGBT board game group and LGBT hiking group, along with a table top role playing game group (not LGBT specifically, but hella progressive).

Mainly it's just about having a hobby that involves being around others, and there's a good chance you'll meet some gay dudes along the way.

I tried it, and maybe its because I live in Mid Missouri but all I found so far was web seminars and lesbian speed dating


I will reinstall later and take a deeper dive

Okay, that would certainly bias things.

You won't find the same mix of people as in DC.

Might be having a sequel to the other night tonight. I usually dont run sequels like that, but Im bored as hell and hes a pretty cool guy. Might be worth getting to know outside of these hookups but thats not really my style right now, because Im in love with my friend who is a whole 12 hours away and we barely talk anymore and a few other lame excuses.

Please share. I live in closeted Missouri and very rarely get good dating advice or even have the chance to talk openly about anything.

For context me and my friend met on a dating site, actually got to know each other before we started doing physical stuff and got really close. We never put strings on it because he is a traveling nurse and is all about the money he makes from his job. He moved onto another contract a few states away and it was hard for both of us, but I think we both have some regrets. We talked last night and he was checking in on me because I got a lot going on right now, we talked for hours like we always do laughing and flirting and shit but he drops really non-subtle hints about how he is lonely and wishes that he had someone to come home to, and how he wishes he didnt wake up alone, and how hed like to have someone that would come driving up to him every once in a while for visits

Which is frustrating I have a 14 year old son and my dad is very sick, I am extremely tied down. Im at the end of my divorce and my wife was abusive as shit so my son doesnt go over there I cant just pack up and have a romantic weekend at my leisure. I feel like next time we talk I should start going on about how I wish I had someone that cared more about a relationship than money, and could settle down and shit. I struggle with keeping my mouth in check honestly, because Im kind of outspoken.
Hey guys I want to get your opinions on dating a man who is in the closet to his family and friends.

I'm out to my family and friends and have been dating a guy for the past 6 months who is closeted. He shows way more PDA than I'm use to so it makes me feel like he's making efforts but he still hasn't told anyone about me and its beginning to make me feel like its a relationship that's going to go nowhere.

Hope you don't mind the perspective of a straight (but supportive!) guy. How is the tone when he's dropping these not so subtle hints? If it's just venting from loneliness, I'd try to brush it off. If you feel like he's saying it to try to guilt you into going to see him, then definitely speak up. Especially if he's prioritizing making money, then he should have the funds available to travel more. Also, is he aware of your current obligations? If he is and he's intentionally trying to guilt you into going to see him, that's a bit of a red flag. The only way to know for sure though, is communication.

Oof thats tough. I dont know if I could take being super closeted again. Sounds like something to talk about.

I have thought about that as well. He knows my whole situation but I dont think he understands the gravity of it. Or I think we want 2 different things the other person just cant/wont give. We have good chemistry though and we would be a pretty good couple I think. i think he does say it to drop hints more than guilt me, like that we could be in a relationship but these are his needs. Hes told me in other conversations that he plans on coming here to see me, and hes also offered to help pay for my son and I to come up there, but they havent met yet and I cant travel yet either.
