Actually, what you're arguing doesn't make sense. I am not stating that my analogy was inaccurate, only that it doesn't relate perfectly with all particulars. And analogies don't have to. By definition, only some of the particulars, not all, need to be similar. Considering the responses so far, I'd say that your suggestion of my analogy's lack of use is pretty far off. Singling out one particular and disregarding the entire analogy because of it is ludicrous.
Play devil's advocate until your heart's content. I'm just letting you know now that I'm really not interested in breaking things down into percentages of blame.
Watch the Skype with Scott in it. Read his convos and interactions with others. You'll change your tune
I think a lot of the hate Scott gets is because he is going on dates with people IRL which a lot of the haters seem not to be doing.
Also that analogy with the 5mph below the limit is nice, but I don't see any thing that could ressemble oncoming traffic here. You have an ignore function, you can simply not react to any of Scott's post and the thread can continue being filled with status posts and gifs.
I just learned that Rita was a Japanese actress being dubbed. Mind blown, childhood ruined.
You're jealous Delio, admit it!!!huh? So the people that say anything to him are just jealous that he is going out? Well he did say that was the reason for me and that I whine about my relationships online. Guess he doesn't.
I might as well be straight.
You'd just be part of forever alone girl-age. I don't know if that's an upgrade or not.Preach. I really think my life would be quite a bit better and more fulfilling as a straighty. Shame about the whole vajayjay thing, though.

Yes, it must be that!! The only reason that people are annoyed by his posts MUST BE because they aren't going on dates. Its not the constant whining or what seems to bebragging about having unprotected sex. I'm sure most everyone here at least goes on dates. If he's your friend, then of course you will want to defend him but you're not doing him any favors by making these ridiculous assertions about the rest of us.
Hello and welcome, enjoy your stay. But be careful about what you post here, people can be really mean.
You remind me a lot of the driver that goes 5 MPH under the speed limit on a two-lane road with a lot of oncoming traffic which prevents anyone from passing you, creating a long-ass accordion of cars behind you full of annoyed and angry people. People quickly begin to honk their horns in disgust. You just can't seem to understand what you're doing wrong since you're not doing anything illegal, seemingly oblivious to why everyone is upset. Rather than adjusting your behavior as people yell at you to speed up so you stop disrupting the regular flow of traffic, you take the stance of victimhood while simultaneously relishing the attention you're currently receiving, as you have become the center of the universe for that single moment. It's not you that's the problem, it's everyone else, obviously!
You are literally that guy.
My PM box misses you. That is all.After she got her "new face" (so the Zed years), an American actress played her.
Hey! I went on a date last week! It didn't end in drunken backseat sex while my Usher mixtape played, which is how I usually prefer my first dates, but it still counts...I think a lot of the hate Scott gets is because he is going on dates with people IRL which a lot of the haters seem not to be doing.

Anyway - on some level I respect you and the others who stick up for Scott. But I really think that urge to protect him is misplaced now. Something you said in your last post during one of these Midnight Scott marathons stuck out to me - something about Scott being young and inexperienced. I couldn't figure out what it was at the time so I just ignored that round of Scott-Mania. But now I've figured it out:
It's because he's not young and inexperienced. Not anymore.
Not by a long shot.
It was actually a MidnightScott post that inspired me to start posting in this thread regularly. He was having guy issues, and I thought to give some advice because he seemed so young and inexperienced to me. It was advice that, of course, went absolutely unheeded. Such is the case with Scott, after all.
And that was damn near a year ago.
Since then we've gone through herds of guys Scott likes, guys who Scott doesn't like, guys who do/don't like Scott back, and guys named Eros. We've gone from affirmations of celibacy and staunch rejection of all things slutty, to drunken and unprotected sexy club jaunts and Grindr forays. We've gone from declarations of being "forever alone" to guys crawling over each other to proudly proclaim feelings of undying, eternal, Danielle Steel-esque love and devotion to Scott in darkened hallways during work shifts. Guys who, again, are named Eros.
In short, Scott is no spring chicken. He is no white-silken virgin who needs to be made aware of the wary ways of the world. He's got plenty of experience at this point. Certainly enough experience to be making smarter choices. And I don't think anybody is doing Scott any favors by white knighting for him and jumping on the backs of people in this thread who have the conviction to tell him what he really needs to hear at this point: learn from your mistakes and stop making idiotic choices, and stop derailing the thread under the pretense of wanting advice.
Because the truth is, attention-grabbing behavior is no more popular on the internet than it is in the real world, and it is because I genuinely don't think Scott is a bad person or means any harm that I hope he soon understands this. I'd hate to see him become That Girl.
Oh, you hush. At least I'd be more likely to find a pretty lady who doesn't mind settling.hateradio said:You'd just be part of forever alone girl-age. I don't know if that's an upgrade or not.
Except girls are bloody crazy.
You could just as easily say "all guys are disgusting douchebags" but we know that's not the case!
Most of my friends as a kid and teen were girls, and the same is true as an adult. No matter their age - and they've ranged from younger all the way up to a few in their 60s - I can honestly say that I've rarely seen examples of the female craziness that guys like to cite as if it's some campfire horror story. Errbody gets hormonal sometimes; let's not pretend that many dudes don't have their own monthly swings, because they absolutely do, heh.
The reason I'm attracted to more femme guys is because they're often closer in personality to women, while still (obviously) possessing the physical and psychological male characteristics the big ol' queer in me finds appealing. It's a generalization, but I don't tend to enjoy being around the traditional "guy's guy" because they seem so abrasive and combative. All that posturing, oh lordy, please.
We met, had dinner, and drank beers and just cuddled and kissed like all night last Thursday. I know that seems kind of trashy but I really did enjoy spending the night with him.
I am already planning to spend the day with Joel on Saturday so we can get to know eachother better.
Older men don't do relationships, they're incapable of it. There's a reason why they're still single.
WOW! Way to generalize :|
I was most likely being unnecessarily bitchy with my comment but that's what being a queen does to you.
It's a fairly accurate one.
He told me he is looking for a relationship and I said I'm not ready but let's stay exclusive and just get to know eachother better.
That really is generalization but who knows, you might be right? I mean what do I know anyway.
...huh?
LOL - so 36 is old now?
Older men don't do relationships, they're incapable of it. There's a reason why they're still single. Don't waste your time thinking about it. Don't have sex with him either, unless that's what you want.

Just a few years younger than my mom.
Well, I would say that guys are douchebags.
It's anecdotal, of course, but I think the craziness really comes out once you start dating them. I've had my fair share of female friends and, for the most part, they're pretty reasonable individuals (barring the obvious hormonal moments - but men likely have their share too). But once romance works its way into the picture, that's when issues start to arise.
I could just be the male version of the angry lesbian, though, and have had terrible luck with my few relationships. When I look at my friends' relationships however, I don't think the 'crazy girlfriend' stereotype is too off base.
I'm curious, though, what aspects of the "femme" you find attractive? I can't stand dudebros either, but on the whole I find that guys are generally more rational and will often defend their positions beyond the typical "Well that's just how I feel!"

You're exactly what I stay out of the gay thread. BS up in dis bitch.

Just hit that 25.

If we're talking in stereotypes here, cause let's be honest, we are... I'd say that quite a bit of gay guys have the "crazy" aspect that some women have.
About Cosmic's post. It's funny how I agree with just about everything you say: I connect far better with women, and the vast majority of my friends are women. However, even though it makes your explanation for falling for femme guys make perfect sense, I personally don't fall for overly femme guys. At least, not at first glance. After a while I get used to all the traits and don't notice them. After all, they don't define someones character. But at first glance they're ... not really a turn on for me personally.
Oh, I wasn't even referring specifically to dudebros or overly masculine guys (both of which are, to me, probably the least appealing types of men possible) just that my perception of these regular joes is that they're not very enjoyable to be around and I often find it hard to identify with them on many, if any, levels.
I appreciate that we're both using anecdotal approaches, since there's certainly no logic in throwing blanket judgment over any groups... So, yes, going simply on femme guys that I've known: it's their attitude and strength, sense of fun, the lightness and sarcastic way they tend to approach things (when they're downright bitchy and aggressive, that's a turn-off), how femmes tend to be somewhat needy... I love being in the position of trying to meet that challenge, heh. I have no game at all and am definitely a pushover, but these guys usually manage to make me feel more confident, self-assured, and want to always strive to be better. Other subsets of the gay community make me feel much more self-conscious and even terrible about myself.
If we get into the physical aspect, I definitely like that they're usually on the slim, lithe side of things -- BUT I'm actually not into the whole hairless twinky thing any more. You show me one of these gays with a few traditionally "manly" characteristics like a hairy chest? Holy shit, I'm in heaven.
Souldriver and I could probably get married, tbh, or at least hang out.
I'm always intrigued by the closeness of women and gay men. When I was first coming out, it was with a female friend and she helped my get through the first initial stages. I think going through that certainly brought us closer together, though we haven't talked to each for a few years now.
Dudebros are pretty obnoxious. I'm a little surprised by the inclusion of regular joes since I would think their regularity would make them identifiable. But I can see what you're saying.
Yeah, anecdotes are really all you can use in these situations since the demarcation of the groups is so subjective. In my case, the really femme guys I've met are the ones that are very obnoxious and in your face about their lives and lifestyles. Now, I haven't met many, but the few I have were very self centred and had to have the attention of everyone around them. They were Gay and they had to let everyone know it.
I figure women like having gay friends because we're a 2-for-1 package: they want to be able to have male friends for the different perspective, but there's apparently a weird thing where a lot straight men consider themselves to be literally unable to have a female friend without also wanting to fuck them -- and I find that notion really uncomfortable and a bit sad. We don't want sex, and (assuming you're of the mindset that doesn't find being the "gay boyfriend" concept insulting or annoying) we're good for complements, insight, talkin' 'bout guys, and shopping.
The whole "regular" guy thing is a little difficult for me to put into words... I have straight male friends, I have straight-acting gay friends (a descriptive term which, in this instance, I'm using in a non-derogatory way) and I am perfectly comfortable with them, but there's never any romantic appeal there for me; if attraction happens at all, it begins and ends with the physical (and I've never been much of an objectifier). Always seems to be the case with first impressions, seeing guys in passing on the street, etc, as well. If I'm going to play armchair psychologist for a moment, this lack of appeal likely comes from the way I view myself as inadequate and a bit of a failure compared to my peers, so 20- and 30-something Joe Career intimidates the hell out of me. That said, there can definitely be exceptions to the rule, I just don't encounter them very frequently. *shrug*
Sadly, it is. To some "bear", "twink" are too; guess because of the attached descriptions (bear = fat, old and hairy so..eeeww!!... twink = pre-puberty, too slim, hair-less look, immature, kiddy-mind)I didn't know that straight-acting could be derogatory. There's a lot of the gay culture that I just haven't been informed about. Like, there's so many different classifications for types of guys it's almost baffling.
Well, I'll be 30 soon..so guess that I'm also incapable of doing relationships. (seeing how I've never been in one)
XD
12+ years of trying, been rejected, laughed at, left waiting, and even punched; so don't how else.put the same energy you put in this thread it might work
You're positively ancient. If you don't have a stable long lasting relationship by now, I despair for you as you're obviously incapable of having one.
I'm sure to 15 year olds I'm knocking on Heavens door.
