In college my groups of friends were mostly straight guys. Some gay friends here and there and some female friends too.

I've expanded my gay friend pool a bunch after college, but unfortunately still dont know that many girls. It frustrates some of my single straight friends sometimes

Eh. Im not sure. Think its pretty even in terms of finding dates. But then you have to factor in location. Much more difficult to find a date etc somewhere that isnt a city or just a liberal area in general. But ya, i agree that there is an interesting difference in dynamic in the dating process compared to straight guys (on average).

Think i've always known to some degree, but finally came to terms with it when i was in 8th grade (13 years old?). I started saying to myself that guys were cute and i was clearly aroused by men so i was like huh..I guess thats what im into.

Never had sex with a girl. Farthest i had gone (romantically) was holding hands. Would not have sex with a girl now. There's no incentive for me to, and im not sexually attracted to them. I can tell when a girl is clearly hot or attractive, but i never have any other thoughts than that. If i see a girl with large breasts i'll be like 'damn those are big' as opposed to 'damn those look good'.

Sorry if this comes across as ignorant but can you help me understand not being able to see the attractiveness in women? I mean I'm far from gay, and yet I'll often have discussions with my wife over the attractiveness of men. Are you saying if presented with a few different women you wouldn't be able to judge them?

If your choices of ice cream are:

Choc Chip Cookie Dough
Half Baked
Americone Dream
Chunky Monkey
Phish Food

Which one do you pick?

How much do you like living in DC? Is there anywhere you'd rather live?

What is the most annoying question that you get asked about being gay?

Favourite alcoholic drink?

As a follow-up, would you ever live in a state that outlaws gay marriage?

Oh i can totally see attractiveness in women. Maybe i was vague with my response to batm. I could rank women if presented with a set of them, but i wouldnt be able to scrutinize their looks nearly as well as if given a group of men. I think there are just certain features and things that you look for (sexually maybe?) that just might not be a 1:1 analogy when taking an objective stance.

Half baked is my favorite. If these are my choices for the race, i might opt for cc cookie dough strictly because it seems like it would feel the least heavy in my stomach, if that makes senes

Lol I'm from mass and never heard of cape Ann haha.
Cape cod is awesone though.

That's what I meant. If u like guys who act like guys.
I asked that Cuz I have a very good friend that's gay and he is OBV bottom. As he calls it.
So he hates queers as he calls it: guys who act like chicks and not manly at all.
His partner is very manly and build and goes to gym and doesn't act gay or looks gay at all. So he is attracted to that.

.

I did Half Baked both times.

You don't actually know what you're getting until the day of the race, because it's all donated.

I feel like we're missing a Schweddy Balls joke here.

**** sorry kruze. Saw this earlier but forgot about it.

I have an infinity tattoo. The infinity symbol is reminiscent of the number eight, so if i ever need to tack on numbers to things, i will always use eights

My grandfather was a prominent geologist. And that tenuous connection is enough for me to like you more!

How big were the geology classes when you attended? What % of the class would end up being employed in mining?

Was it a difficult course to study?

I'm not an expert but this makes me really think being gay is wired into your brain.
I mean I guess when I see a hot girl my Brian tells me DAAAMN and I act a certain way around them and my body react to it.
You were born a guy so around 11-13 yo, your brain and body should have been telling you Damn look at that girl. But instead your brain gravitated towards guys.
A straight guy looks at other guys and nothing happens.
I remember in Spain when I played soccer all the guys were naked in the showers. We made fun of lil dicks or other fun ****, Obv I didn't do anything to me.
We were rascals and sometimes we peek in the girls dressing room and just seeing a girl covered in a towel without seeing anything will create a chain reaction in my brain and the other kids.
I don't think any of the kids in my soccer team were gay or at least not at the time. Reason?

My thinking is: if you like man or man parts and you surround by 20 dicks dangling around, wouldn't ur body react?

I mean I don't think I could go with 20 girls in a shower and not get a hard on from here to the next room. Specially not at that age when ur hormones were on crack

He said he knows a hot women when he sees one but his body and mind don't react to it.

I'm guessing you see a guy that you now is handsome but you don't get a hard on, right? If you do then you might have found something out today sir.
You are Bi lol

Btw suq bad beat in not having sex with a girl
That squishy feeling is a great one. And no, NO amount of lubricant will get even close.
I think every gay guy should have at least tried it once, but I understand u just can being to even think about it since u not into them in the first place.

Would you suggest every straight guy have sex with another dude?

Digger you damn stray dog! Come back home man we miss you.
Where you been?


SUQ: why u broke ur with ur partner?
How did you feel at the moment?
How do you feel now? Did another partner made u think less of ex?
I'm going thru a break up of a veryyyyy long marriage and want to hear your opinion on long relation break ups and moving on etc.

Yhanks

I clearly said I understood but in my straight mind I think like wow... They are missing heaven... So funny u only quoted that part and not the end.

Let's be honest I know the difference between vagina sex and anal sex. Both great but one is maybe 10x better and is not anal.

I'll rank maybe

Vaginal
Oral
Anal
Hand/masturbation from others or self
Other?
Hell
Heaven
In that order

kcaw, bring it to the philosophy and religion thread, you're sure to get takers

I love living in DC. Its my favorite city (that i've been to thus far). Its the perfect blend of having a lot of people while not feeling very industrial or urban. Its clean and actually has a lot of vegetation. I live in the northwest quadrant of the city, toward the border of Maryland, and it starts to get a bit residential and less cityish all the while i still live on one of the major streets so i can easily just run downtown whenever i want. There's also a bunch of beautiful parks and trails in the city! On nice days i love running through the woods. I feel very safe here too. I've walked home (5-6 miles) from nights out drinking at 3am and never felt the slightest bit unsafe. Southeast and Southwest have some sketchy areas though and i rarely if ever venture into those quadrants. Its a very liberal and educated city as well. I can get wherever i want via metro or bus. I do not own a car, so public transportation is a huge factor for me. Tons of restaurants and bars and just a lot things to do in the city general. I love going to concerts when artists i know are playing. The city also has a very high proportion of gay people. One of my favorite 'events' is called Bear Happy Hour, which is a happy hour hosted by a gay bear group at one of the clubs every Friday. They have free pizza and cheap drinks. I've brought many of my straight friends to it lol.

To answer EB's question, i dont think i would. And not because of the marriage implications, but because i dont think i would be comfortable in a state where the majority of the residents might have a negative opinion on homosexuality. Fortunately, most states recognize or have legalized gay marriage.

The most annoying thing.. hmm.. Can't really think of many annoying things people ask since nowadays being gay isnt that novel of a thing. I guess when you're in a relationship and people ask 'who wears the pants' or 'so who's the top'. I dont really agree with placing a couple on a binary spectrum like that. My response is usually '...both of us?'

I think my favorite alcoholic drink is a pina colada. But when i'm out at bars my go-to drink is a vodka sprite. When i'm drinking at home before going out, i like to drink screwdrivers. I've also recently become a fan of pinot noirs, but thats more of a 'relaxing' drink rather than a 'let's get drunk' drink.

yea we cleared that up, it makes sense. I'm perfectly comfortable judging dudes but not aroused by them. Same way for suq but other way around it seems

I must say that no city I've ever visited exceeded my expectations as much as DC did.

**** you , I did that a couple years ago
