Nice brahs let's keep this thread going. I was just looking over the gay threads of past years and we used to have a lot more posters not sure what happened. But they used to do a pretty boy thursday or something but it was one day that everyone would post some pictures. Bhujerban do you remember what that was called?

We did.

I kind of miss the old times when participation was a lot higher. Heck, I even miss some of the trolls: CHALL John Holmes. There are still some of the posters I have always wanted to meet but haven't gotten the chance. Caving in UTAH is on my list of to do activities. You will get a PM so I can stop and say hi.

I think most of the people that used to post would do it to kill time at work. When ******** and smart phones grew in popularity, there were different ways to kill time at work. From the ones I am still in contact with, they are mostly working a lot more. I will be flying to meet up with one in May at least.

Seriously man do stop in if you come to Utah. And I actually have stayed in contact with two of the old posters. What caves are you wanting to visit?

You got it right, it was Pretty Boy Thursday. There was also Fit Man Friday, and I tried something called Guy I'd Like to Hump Day (which came on Wednesday). Atticus is also correct about people leaving us for other activities, including our unfair Princess Trvlr70. He went to the almighty FBook. Others have just dropped away, and so it's left to guys like me and the newcomers to keep this going.

But for a joke, I'd like to name part 6 as the "Old Gay Thread". I'm not sure why "New" has stuck, since very few us are newly out.

I think that Old gay thread would be misunderstood as just old gays. I never read New to mean newly out gays. I just read it as the "New" gay thread.

Not a single person has "faithful" as a turn-on?

#shocking

[mntbikedude]

Not a single person has "faithful" as a turn-on?

#shocking

Well put you list up, set the example. What are turn on's and what would I look for in a partner may be two different things. But I do think being faithful is a big turn on.

[7Famark]

Fine

Turn-Ons:
- Intelligent or intellectually stimulating
- Successful (or, at the very least has a valid long term goal and is actively working towards pursuing that goal).
- In great shape (Preferably more muscular than myself or I feel kinda awkward bottoming)
- Eats well
- 28-34 in age
- Doesn't spend 5 nights a week partying
- Scruff on the face can be hot but everywhere else should be "taken care" of
- Faithful/Monogamous

Turn-Offs:
- Vacant (no matter how attractive)
- Dead-end job or no long term goals
- Constant partier (particularly if they're over 26/27)
- Unhealthy habits (eating, smoking)
- Fat and lazy
- Femininity (doesn't have to be a brotard but somewhere in the middle is cool)

[Savyna]

Turn ons
-pleasant and easy going (doesn't sweat the small stuff)
-confident about herself
-kind and affectionate towards all beings
-family oriented
-can cook
-doesn't have to be a neat-nick but have a generally tidy space
-likes to be active. she doesn't have to be a gym rat or anything but I like sports or walking or being out in nature etc.
-if not in school, then being productive with their life; going somewhere
-can carry a conversation on various topics
-knows how to fix things
-likes the library
-enjoys cats
-supportive partner

turn offs
-sloppy (as in her body hygiene is off...the nails don't have to be super manicured [well ok I prefer that they are] but if there is a bunch of black stuff underneath and there is no explanation for it then that is a serious turn off. Once a girl tried to tell me she liked me and you know she was ok, nice personality and whatnot but then I saw her nails and her ears and I was like noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo)
-untidy (purse is a mess, house is upside down type of thing)
-only talks about how much sex they get/want
-drinks and parties 25/8
-has no respect for themselves or others
-flighty
-having girls all over the place and then expecting me to just be ok with that
-not supportive, self-centered
-knows zilch about current events. she doesn't need to know every single thing but if she doesn't know main topics of major stuff going on in the world then it's a no for me.
-Super masculine. >.> I don't mind if she's not extremely feminine but I'm really not into the super butch type woman who looks like she can shank me. I will admit I do find the tough thugish mentality sometimes sexy but if it's paired with super butch then it cancels each other out.
-doesn't know what they want out of life.

[mntbikedude]

Super responses interesting how diverse we all are. So anyways I just started watching Queer as Folk on netflicks. I missed it when it first came out. I love that show.

I really love how the new generation of gays really are helping establish a different vision of what being gay means in terms of monogamy. I was thinking I know there are a lot of gays here that don't ever come to the thread and it might be good for us to maybe do a thread that would help young gay's to know things like how to come out and how to have a happy life....

I've watched repeats on logo, I didn't really like it only because that guy (i think his name was Michael) was crazy obsessed with sex and I got bored with how it seemed he was running all over the place. That kid Hal Sparks's character adopted or mentored was an interesting character to watch his story unfold.

Timpanogos Cave National monument and perhaps big brush creek are on the list. if you have suggestions for amazing ones let me know. Right now, I don't have as much time off as I would like since I am in the process of changing jobs and in the middle of dealing with family drama but probably in the next 2 years or so I hope to go down.

I think that Old gay thread would be misunderstood as just old gays. I never read New to mean newly out gays. I just read it as the "New" gay thread.

I think it was just because the original thread was the 'gay thread'. To differentiate the threads from the locked 'gay thread', they called it the 'new gay thread'. It was before the number system became the common way to delineate a continuation of a thread. But I don't remember the exact details. It has almost been like ten years.

Not a single person has "faithful" as a turn-on?

#shocking

lol. I think for most of us it is a given. Probably as a whole, this is one of the few groups that endorse and support the concept.

Totally, should add 'knows how to fix things'. I am not mechanically inclined and totally need the help. lol

It is hard to do though. I am 33 right now. The meaning of gay is so different for me compared to what it means to a lot of the younger individuals. Society has changed so much that the world I experienced and the world they experienced are very different. I mean for a lot of them electroshock was something your loving family decided for you, etc, Marriage even being an option, even the pressure or influence to have children just like straight couples. So very different. Plus, talking to individuals under 18 scares me. Still too much liability or the illusion of impropriety could end bad for us.

Haha. I am not that good at it, but with kits I've fixed some things and this past weekend I came up with a solution for my landline that saved me over $200. It just means I have wires duct taped to the ceiling right now. At some point I'll get some white paint to paint over it.

Personally, I don't see that as a turn-on. It's more of a positive trait. Constancy doesn't get me hard.

[nick03]

Here's mine:

Turn ons:
- Someone that works hard and doesn't complain
- I generally like older than me (28 & up)
- I like imperfections so someone that has a natural build but doesn't have to be ripped up.
- face and chest hair
- outdoorsy
- AMBITIOUS!!! They MUST have goals and plans for self improvement.
- Financially secure
- funny
- educated
- doesn't know how to dress. I think guys that wear t-shirt and blue jeans with a hat and work boots are hot!


Turn offs:
- dramatic gossips
- bad attitudes
- someone that stays in a dead-end job making less than $30K a year with no plans to improve
- broke and drowning in debt with no retirement
- always tells stories about an ex or a past sexual encounter
- skinny guys (even though I used to be one and will forever see myself as one)
- shaved pubes
- bad teeth
- weed smoker
- body acne


I'm know a lot of people don't believe this but I really don't seek body perfection or the typical type of "hot"... The biggest turn ons for me (sexually and mentally turned on) come from someone with good character that I feel is a rare find. At that point, I must have them lol

[7Famark]

Personally, I don't see that as a turn-on. It's more of a positive trait. Constancy doesn't get me hard.

Security in knowing my partner isn't going to go bang some random and bring some awful disease home is a turn on to me

Yeah I hadn't thought of there being posters under 18 I was thinking most would be over 21 so I guess my thread isn't a very good idea.

[mntbikedude]

Timpanogos Cave National monument and perhaps big brush creek are on the list. if you have suggestions for amazing ones let me know. Right now, I don't have as much time off as I would like since I am in the process of changing jobs and in the middle of dealing with family drama but probably in the next 2 years or so I hope to go down.

.

If you do timpanogos let me know I would love to do that one with you. There is also Leman Caves that are just over the Utah Nevada border. If you want some with some challenge we can check out nutty butty caves don't know if that's still open. That one seems like they closed because someone got stuck in this section called the birth canal.

Nice. You still have more talent than I do. That is why we need a lesbian president. She would get stuffy done. period. She would handle piece talks and re-grout her bathroom the same day.

Word. It makes me happy to see this in young people.

Yeah I hadn't thought of there being posters under 18 I was thinking most would be over 21 so I guess my thread isn't a very good idea.

It isn't a bad idea. I just don't know how to be helpful for them. You guys might be better. I am definitely am not the most wise person and I am not very good at evolving with the time. Others here might be. My recent experience with this was my friend's little brother came out to her. She wanted me to talk to him to help him since we share similar religious, conservative family background. Where gayness was/is a sin. I thought it wouldn't be difficult because I am like an experienced gay. Seriously, we were talking a different language. He was worried about finding a husband to go to his church with him. Getting married. He was more worried about overcoming the stereotypes of gay. Also he was working on maintaining his identity as a male and as a gay. When I was his age (21), I was worried that if my employer found out, I would lose my job. Marriage, church? Seriously, not even on my radar when I was his age.

If you do timpanogos let me know I would love to do that one with you. There is also Leman Caves that are just over the Utah Nevada border. If you want some with some challenge we can check out nutty butty caves don't know if that's still open.

That is hilarious. Got stuck in the birth canal. Nice. Sure, still trying to work out the details of everything because my life is sorta of a mess right now but it sure it would always be good to visit with someone and have an activity. Do you know how much extra gear for the timpanogos or is it fairly easy?

I believe it. I am similar in that regard. I am not worried about perfection at all. I am not even that big of a fan of muscle.
