    Damn, weren’t gay men just teaching us empathy last week thanks to Obama?

    I can’t wait to see what hetero deficiency the media drops in your lap to fix for us next week.

    Thank you so much, and I’m sorry?

    I don’t know what I expected.

    People are lonely, everyone could do with a few good friends no matter their sexual orientation. Gay men are people and therefore have people problems, i don’t think they have it better or worse in this regard. I personally haven’t meet a gay man who has been that much different from other men, so i find this article very odd, or at least built on stereotypes (maybe just me?)

    I have a long rant about the loneliness epidemic in me but ill spare everyone. main thing is this isn’t as new thing, but that does lite to help and doesn’t add value to the conversation.

    If I could get over the crippling anxiety of meeting new people, I’d be happy to hang out with anyone regardless of who they like.

    Straight men need to wash their assholes more and stop claiming cleaning their butts is gay. Might make more friends that way.

      The only man irl I’ve met who didn’t wash his ass because he thought it was gay … I found out was raped as a child.

      The joke isn’t funny anymore. The number of men I’ve met who were raped as children by other men, is a lot higher than I think people realize. It’s traumatizing and there isn’t support.

        I’ve read one too many r/AITAH where the guy is like this and the woman is like, “he streaks the couch and bed sheets. Should I leave him?”

        Honestly… overrated unless you are at home and looking to kill time or take a moment to yourself.

        I’ll take a sauna/bath/sitnpiss on the occasion but the quickie is just easier in most cases and definitely outside the home where you’re dealing with public restrooms.

        I’ve done a lot of pissing pre and post op.

        Pissing while seated on a toilet sucks if you have a penis.

        Penis-havers really should have more access to urinals in residential settings imo, that body configuration is just not built to pee sitting down.

    Honestly I just want friends. I don’t care who you are, who you love, how you identify.

    Why can’t I find other people to sit around, drop acid, and argue about good music?

    How about a n NBC sitcom about a Republican racist asshole who moves to Seattle and makes a ton of friends only to find out they are all gay at the nude bike riding parade?

    Maybe, but honestly I think they should really just focus on befriending good people that they get along with. Any given straight man may find that in a gay man, but plenty of others will find close friendships in people regardless of gender or orientation.

    What the living fuck. My gay friends have always just been normal dudes that like to suck cock. Nothing special about them. They aren’t an enlightened emotionally available class of supermen. They like video games, weed, and sci-fi, that’s why we got along. Common interests, not some unacknowledged desire to broaden our horizons.

    This article is 90s gay.

    Probably more important to find people you vibe with and like doing the same things you do than to specifically seek out token characters from different demographics.

    Also if you’re excluding people from being your friend because they’re gay, you don’t deserve to have friends anyway.

      Anyone befriending anyone is always highly subjective.

      It comes down to the personality of both sides. Most of the gay guys in my circle of friends throughout the years have been too high strung I think it’s just luck of the draw. The gay women in my orbits are more chill. I’m chill so we get a long better.
