Post how you see fit. If folks can celebrate one way, why can't others celebrate, negative status?

 

That's the thing, as long as someone finds the sh!t amusing, it'll continue to be a joke, which will allow society to continue seein' us as "less than". It is f@#kin annoying.

 

I have not. I'd go watch but not partake. Lol

 

This shit is horrible. This seems like the mom (the adult) made Halloween about trying to be a sexy thot for Instagram likes.

 

AP : So what's up? Am I yo dude or what?
OB :I told you I don't care who's looking.I still love you.

 

I'm 6'2", by the way...

 

I want to be cremated. I see no point in me having a grave and tombstone. People don't visit me now so I don't want some grave that will also not be visited.

I can be dumped in ocean or planted with a tree. I do not want a plot, headstone, suit or casket. You can have a fune/ceremony. Repast if you want. But don't go broke trying to have some final expenses over my childless behind.

 

Gay men are often jerks. Really good looking gay men are often the same story.

 

Disagree. When feminist contentiously generalize masculinity and equate it to a negative. I'm beyond tired of female feminist and gay feminist dissecting masculinity; something they are not authorities of nor something they really care about. I think their energy needs to be focused on women, femininity and matriarchy.

 

Fondren

This is an area in the city that's sort of like the Arts District.You're likely to see things that have been turned into artwork like firehydrants and stuff like that.This is where I was born and lived during the early part of my life .Well,partially anyway.My parents moved all over a lot.

Duling Hall is in Fondren as well.It was once a school,now they book mostly national performers,but you can still catch locals here too.And there's a bar in the back!


There's always something going on there.The first thursday of every month is Fondren First Thursday,where you'll see vendors of all sorts,people hanging out,bands/duos/ensembles,performance artists,flash mobs,dance battles (my favorite thing),and anything else exciting.


There's another place I'm really into that I've only started frequenting this year called the Offbeat.It's a record shop (like,literal vinyl records) and they also sell toys,action figures,and comic books.The OB hosts a lot of events too such a music performances,comedy nights,and movie viewings.The last thing I went to there was a viewing and discussion of Do the Right Thing with a panel (we talked about how it related to modern issues,yadda yadda yadda).
The owner is a dj,so there's always good music playing when you go.The environment makes me feel at home.I finally found out where all the black hipsters are .





All of the performers I love---->Local Talent

 

Well, I was a lurker for a while. It took me a bit but I jumped in. And I have absolutely no regrets. The community (and it really is a community @Nick Delmacy ) that is fostered here is pretty amazing.

But to experience it, you gotta jump in first. And the only way to strengthen and improve community, at least initially, is to offer carrots.

So, for me, no, you shouldn't be able to see uploaded photos, profile pages and profile posts if you're unregistered. No, you shouldn't be able to comment without registering. These are all privileges of membership. It shows some mild investment.

At the same time, no, more restrictions aren't needed for lurking members. Instead, the requirements to get that last, enviable carrot (*gasp* locker room access) is clear and reasonable. The fact that most members post pics to reveal themselves in the locker room adds to the intimacy that's already present. You're uncloaked. You can truly say, I see you.

(As an aside- I have to say, I'm still shocked that there are so many devastatingly handsome men on this site. It's a bit obscene really. And that's just their faces. Stick around long enough and you realize that dudes here are friendly, funny, intelligent, interesting, can cook, have doooope interests etc etc. Damn. CA dudes are the truth. True talk. So there's another carrot for you forever lurker- my shades come off in the locker room.)

I feel like I still lurk a bit. Right now is a very busy time for me, so I can't contribute or make as many threads. But that should improve again in the next week or so.

In all, good stuff @Ockydub and @Nick Delmacy .

 

"Sometimes it's difficult to make it seem so happy all the time, because nothing's perfect and every relationship has its own things going on," Lin says.

"I wouldn't say we're putting anything out there that isn't true," Williams says.

These two sentences are not compatible. lol. So gays can be superficial as hell. Always seems to have been that way. Same shit, different medium.

 

Which gay community? The white gay community, the black gay community, the MSM gay community?

I like how the white gay community used their privilege and media to united and force governmental policy changes.

I like the vast unending creativeness of Latino and Black gay individuals and how they continue to influence mainstream cultures around the world.

 

This speaks to me on so many levels. In my professional life, Friendships and Romantic life. In making friends when the person/people begin to mirror the friendship I automatically start to pull back eg making excuses not to meet up, disappearing for months leaving txts messages and calls not replied and not returned, avoiding places I might run into them. In my professional life I would strive to do a good job, when I do and praised for it I begin to mess up the next job or show less interest. If my good work or friendship goes unnoticed or unrequited I continue to push on even harder until it does then I repeat the Self Hating cycle.
That ends TODAY!!!
Side note; Who said I need Iyanla to ''Fix my Life''!?! I can do it myself

 

Skewed pricing....

 

My first thought is bless that girl heart. That's a reputation that's gonna stain her and her fam and future fam for the rest of her life and she dont even realize the gravity of it. To this day everyone remembers a girl in college whose name I won't even say, who shitted her pants because she got so drunk. Her sorors had to come in the party host's bathroom to clean her up. Lol. Young people have to be taught that irrational or impulsive decision-making can haunt them forever. #askmonicalewinsky

But then my other thought is, maaaaaan this shit been goin on forever. Sad thing is that they got caught and they won't have a football team. But this goes on in the locker room and with high school teams everywhere. They just got caught.

 

I plan to go to a few places in the hood - start random arguments with women and then yell
"Put your hands down when you talking to me bitch."

After that I plan to have random sex with as many sexy men as possible from Jack'd.

 

When he leaves the food out...

 

I guess the penguins have a special spot in "Animal Hell", huh? LOL

 

The quirky dude I am, I don't mind when strangers of either gender see me naked but it gets weird when someone close that's not an "intimate" friend has.
It tends to get weird and complicated afterwards.
But random female, hey if she wants to see, go for it.

 

26 and 35 were pretty good. 21 was blah. 42 was not so great at all, and 50 was so bad, it was unbelievable. Seriously, it could not get much worse. Trust me. lol

 

I don't have a female fwb, but I remember I had a lesbian friend in high school. We used to joke that we would co-parent. Or at least I thought it was a joke. A few years later, she hit me up and started to subtly suggest that she actually wanted to do it. Naw, bruh. I'm good on that. I'd rather have my own kids. Possibly with a partner if that issue ever came up. I also met this lesbian couple who had one of their gay male friends act as a sperm donor. He was passively involved in their child's life, but they agreed that he wouldn't be the "parent." He's more like an uncle that comes to visit here and there. I don't think I could do that either. If I'm in, I'm all in. I can't have little mes running around without them considering that I'm their daddy.

 

I'm a TP over kinda person, the other way doesn't really make sense to me and I don't trust people who do it the other way lol.

One of my bigggest quirks, and pet peeves, is when I let someone use my grease, cocoa butter or any other semi-solid thing (like toothpaste)and don't follow the already existing state. For example: with grease and cocoa butter I swipe in a circular pattern, that way the tub and it's contents are evenly distrbuted and get used equally. I evenly squeeze toothpaste from the bottom for the same concept. DO NOT dig in my grease or squeeze my toothpaste from the center. I will never let you use my ish again, and it takes forever to regain my pattern.

Because I know I'm so particular about that, I usually tell people about it before they use it, though, how could you miss that small detail before you just used it?!?!

 

softcore porn on showtime, cinemax and HBO

 

Tonight, customers were clucking their disapproval!!!

We are all out of chicken & closed for the day. Thank you & have a blessed day!

Hey wait a minute....them folks catching a fit.

I found the first woman hilarious talking about people trying to feed they kids. How they gone feed they kids...*facepalm*

Ummm, Idk...the grocery store, perhaps? :lol:

 

Why do u care? Its ur life man! Like whoever TF u like!

 

I think white people have better things to do than pushing us down.

It's all about visibility. Not as many People are hiding or living fake lives as they were before these last few generations. Women art not marrying gay men and staying with them for appearances. People are using technology to actually become the gender they feel they are inside. That wasn't available years ago.

It's more acceptable to be gay/bi /poly /"queer" now than it was before so you see more. "Massa" isn't trying to put us down because he's been the pioneer with the money, technology, and resources for these things for himself to begin with.

 

Andrew Christian, while not a complete indication of liking dudes, it's suspect. I mean, Even parts of their website is NSFW. I would say red flag.

My question is, if they are gay, how is that going to affect you?

 

aww bro that was kinda touching lol

 

Nope...you don't get to post this shyt without telling us specifically what behavior needed improvement within yourself and why it was a problem for you.

And no deflecting the question with "Harry Potter turning Invisible" gifs...

Everyone has exposed vulnerability in insecurity on The Boards except you...let us in...pour a shot of whiskey, pull out your cowbell and don't fear the reaper:

 

Nothing's wrong with just being like "Hey how u doing? Haven't heard from you so I'm just seeing what's up"

 

It depends on the topic. I will take the time to sit and read a post on an interesting topic. But I notice that I'll usually read the long ones at the end of the day when I have time and short ones during the day when I'm at work. Unfortunately the nature of the internet has conditioned us, myself included to have shorter attention spans. I find myself actually having to make the effort to read something longer to improve my attention and focus.
