New Gay Thread (Part 4)

[tcatcrawler]

I agree with being positive but where is the sport in that, I don't think taking people out face to face is nice but silly little comments to your friends on how hot or not they are is harmless (until somebody looses an eye ) I think silly banter is OK but being mean is just wrong.

this is exactly what i feel ^^

Hey guys. Just popping in to say hey. I'm new to the... fitness world. Trying to bulk up this summer...

I'm sure all y'all have heard this by now, but NEW YORK PASSES MARRIAGE EQUALITY!!!! And the Empire State Building is celebrating.

Time article

New York City was SOOO much fun this weekend. What perfect timing for Pride. There were literally parties in the streets all weekend.

[MenStraight]

So when are the wedding invitations going out?
I can be your cock ring bearer

That's so funny but I actually had several people imagine that Superman and I were getting married this past weekend in NYC on ********. In reality, just like everybody else, you have to wait 30 days after getting the license.

But I'm not against the idea. I'm a pretty good candidate except that we don't have residency there.

And you can carry the ring, naturally.

Yaayy! Maybe you can have it at one of those circuit parties so it can be explosions of celebrations . You and superman would only need black and white swim trunks and bow ties.

I did have friends a few years back that got married at Gay Disney. But I imagine something a bit more tasteful for myself. Of course, the reception/afterparty is another story.

Can any of you tell me something about Chicago's Market Days? I don't get much from the websites - just that it's August 13-14 this year, and the only musical act I recognized by name was Prince Poppycock. Is it just a second Pride but with a music festival, or is it something more? I'd like to go, but I don't want to expect one thing and get quite another.

It is like another pride in my opinion...but for some reason its more fun...not sure why...

For Americans, what are everybody's plans for Independence Day? It will be a quiet one for Superman and myself. We are headed to my family's lakehouse and will also be celebrating my Mom's birthday. It will be a party with lots of kids and fireworks.

Definitely in contrast to what I did last year: Toronto Pride.

Market Days is Chicago's Pride celebration for all practical purposes. It is super, super fun and I'm about 99% sure I'll be there this year. There are huge street parties and a sea of shirtless men to ogle. The festivities also pull folks to Chicago from all over the world. It's very popular these days.

For Chicagoans, Gay Pride [which just took place last weekend] is a bit more political and lesbiany than it is frivolous. The parade is kinda, well, awkward. [Honestly, some of those people have nothing to be pround about]

Aslo, PrideFest in Milwaukee is hugely popular.

So there are basically 3 summertime gay festivals in the area.

My family and I doing something very untraditional - well, untraditional for us. We're actually celebrating. A typical cookout with burgers and franks and potato salad. Unhealthy rot like that. Then some childhood favourites: rootbeer floats for dessert, and sparklers for afterwards. I used to play with the sparkler like I was Tinkerbell; you know how she did that on "The Wonderful World of Disney" where she'd write out the title of her show with the wand? I'd do that, but with my name. Then I'd make a wish. I stopped doing it when I was 15 because some kid called me a ******* for what I was doing. But we're bringing that back this year.

I'll give that a go if my finances are solid and plans are made in advance. Thanks for that info. Will rep if I don't have to spread it around.

That sounds nice and traditional. I love Independence Day in the Northeast or Midwest. These areas know how to celebrate. Deep South, well, they do okay but are still smarting about the whole Civil War thing. And Texas, no way...they were once their own country so it doesn't feel the same. Out West? Too independent.

But by far the worst, least patriotic and most depressing place in the country to celebrate the 4th of July is San Francisco. It is the most anti-American place I've ever lived. They truly think they are better than the rest of the country. I swear, I lived in a community north of SF in Marin County where they refused to fly the American flag. They actually used instead the UN flag. I was so embarrassed.

I hate American apologists. Ugh!

[bhujerban]

Wow, that sounds just awful. I can't imagine having to deal with that. WTF is so great about SF? Sure, they've got a large gay community... but is that it?

Say, have you any ideas about how to decorate on the cheap? I need the practice and don't have a lot of skill in putting appropriate and festive centerpieces together.

Hey cutie! Looks like there's another water skiier in the house. Except I don't use that many skis.

For Americans, what are everybody's plans for Independence Day?

Going to Atlanta for a softball tournament. Darrly, are you watching! Wish me luck, I'm flying standby tonight.

OMG, ROFLMFAO!!!! Are you asking our princess how to do something on the cheap? John is many many things, but cheap is not one of them.

Actually, that was just a genereal question for the group, or else it would have been private. I like to keep options and ideas open. Isn't that what discussion is?

Unfortunately for me, I have my grandmother's taste, which means "I don't care how it looks". That's not good for me; don't I have the gay gene? Shouldn't I have some skill in decorating and style? It was never nurtured or encouraged, so I need help from more experienced guys. (That's you.) inb4 "pick a Martha Stewart mag".

New to BB.com, and sadly to say at my late age, to the gym as well. Better late than never though! Don't know why I waited so long: LOVING IT!! Especially here in North Hollywood. Super studs abound!

Just dropping in to say "Howsits" and introduce myself.

Sadly, the 4th in Los Angeles PALES in comparison to my hometown of Seattle. All those Indian reservations and those super illegal but hella awesome explosives must have something to do with that. Plus fireworks are banned state wide in California (AFAIK). So, enjoying my 4th on a rooftop, attempting to maintain my diet, not drinking any booz since going dry a week ago and probably just having quit smoking. Should be interesting, to say the least.

I just hope I can manage to keep from becoming SuperBitch, at least for a few hours.

Welcome to our group.

PS - better late than pregnant.

[astrostu]

Sigh. Getting stood up is never help for motivation, especially when it's the, "I'll call you to figure out the time tomorrow" so you sit by the phone all friggin' day. At 5:30 PM, I decided to go grocery shopping and at Costco got a conciliatory "very berry sundae" (supposedly only 390 calories).

I txted him tonight with, "I guess we're not meeting up today. ;-)" hoping that he'd get the hint and be like, "Oh, sorry, [this] came up, how about tomorrow at [insert time]." Nada.

This is an improvement, though, since I didn't call him constantly all day to try to figure out why he wasn't calling me and thus seeming desperate. And I reacted unlike last time where I had gotten a pizza or Chinese-esque food or a pint and get chip-faced (as in pint of ice cream). My mentality was, "No, I'm not going to let him do that to me, I'm going to keep working on my body so he'll be mad at himself for not calling."

And that's how my Saturday was. Sigh.

^^^Welcome to my world (which, sadly, is not the world of Red Bull).

Some guys just suck. Others might have the privilege of swallowing.

And that joke didn't have to wait too long. The other is that guys are asses, and not the good kind.

I'm hoping he has a valid excuse. He gets one more chance if he does. Esp. because this was just supposed to meet as friends -- it wasn't any kind of sexual encounter or even a "date," really.

But in the end, this raises another question of why guys do this? I mean, seriously, is it so hard to say to someone, "Sorry, you seem like a nice person, but I'm not interested?" Or contacting at the last minute with a txt or call or e-mail or FB message (yes, we've even been FB friends for weeks) and say you have to post-pone? Do str8 people have the same problems? Grr.

Hey guys, my skinny gay ass is new to the site so I just thought I'd make myself known!

[nohcOR]

Just dropping in to say Wassup to my gays.

Cookout in a few hours with neighbors then probably up on our roof to watch the fireworks from the national mall. (our house is a 4 story row house)

Happy 4th everyone!
