You could call it The Pink Hoodie Chokeout Club.

Don't worry Falcon, we all know you're a man's man. You don't have to continually re-iterate it. This a safe zone where your pegging fetish is accepted w/o judgement.

Sounds like therapy for guys who don't like "manly" things. I'm assuming most are straight, with families/gfs? I think gay guys don't worry at all about that.

If you get something out of it, doesn't make anyone uncomfortable, and everyone is there voluntarily, then whatever, good for you.

Would you hang out with these guys in a more "normal" social setting?

Yeah I'd hang out with some of them for sure. When I moved to LA it just happened that all the friends I knew here were women. I've got one normal guy friend now, but he's married with a small kid so there's not a lot of spontaneous - let's go get a beer stuff happening. Could use some more for sure. Very interesting in making friends who like to go camping and backpacking.

I think one guy might be gay - not sure. He kept talking about his partner but it wasn't clear if that was his art partner or life partner. Another guy who has a wife and kid said he identifies as bi. He was the one who teared up a little about his father.

For a decent chunk of them I think the struggle with not being a typical guy's guy is an issue they're hoping to deal with through the circle.

You should ask the next dude circle meeting if calling The Pink Hoodie Chokeout Club my fetish for fondling white guys' foreskins would have been a sicker burn here imo.

Help me help you.

you guys jerk it yet?

Miajag is eminently trustworthy.

Did anyone actually spell out their plan if a bear walked into the house?

Go get their wife ldo

How many of the "men" complained about their dad not teaching them how to be a man or actually had 2 dads at the same time?

No. I believe the implication was don't run screaming out the back door to let your family fend for themselves.

I'd say a third said something along those lines, either because their dad wasn't around, or wasn't very good at teaching them how to be a man. A few had dads who provided but were otherwise completely emotionally unavailable.

2 dads is in dad and stepdad? - a lot, including me. 2 dads as in gay couple did not come up.

what about 3 dads?

Your porn star ex-GF is a huge introvert? I don't know any porn stars, but I guess that surprises me.

*Is "bear" code for black man?

*When faced with an actual bear, running pretty much is your best plan, especially downhill. Standing your ground and fighting a bear is a great way to die immediately--you'd be more helpful even if you just managed to open a door for your fleeing family.

*Was there anyone there who *totally* looks the part of a man's man without having effeminate mannerisms, but expressed he's actually sweet and sensitive on the inside?

nailed it imo

or it might be those chubby hairy gay guys.

no that's a big hairy gay guy

Why would a manly man's family be in danger from that(the original premise in OP)?

Were there any minorities there?

Were there any trust building exercises?

She feels like she needs to be *on* all the time in a social situation. If she doesn't know everybody really well it gives her a lot of anxiety and drains her.

For some reason getting naked and ****ing in front of a camera crew, or stripping (where she made all her real money) doesn't trigger that. She'd probably be more comfortable if I took her to an orgy. Of course then my fat-ass would be the one with all the stress and anxiety.
