A note on the current spate of console/platform warring plaguing many threads

Hey folks It is pretty evident that we are currently seeing a surge in the number of petty exchanges and posts crafted specifically to derail threads or to score 'points' for and against their console of choice. This is a courtesy warning to all involved to stop now. We have attempted to...

"In addition to this, it should also be shared that these same console warriors, who are too brave and macho to put anyone on 'ignore', are the biggest proponents of using the report button when anyone says bad things about their plastic boxes"

So can you explain why it’s okay for everyone else to constantly drag it up, yet when I do I’m accused of being obsessed? Fucking double standards, mate.

I have no idea what you’re referring to. I just notice about half the posts by you that I see you discuss your asexuality. It’s fine in moderation but I get the impression you define so much of who you are by this one minor aspect of your personality. There’s an underlying anger or bitterness to some of these posts.

It would be nice to get to know more about you than your sexual identity. You seem educated enough to have hobbies, ideals, etc. that would be great to discuss. It’s hard to pay attention or engage with someone who has made up their mind that their value is derived from one aspect for their personality and does not discuss much else.

You’re right, I do have other interests, obviously, and I do like to discuss them in the relevant topics. I honestly can say I didn’t think I posted that much about my a********y, but I apologise if I did/do. It’s an important subject to me, however, but I try and keep it to the relevant threads.

If you’re asking now what my interests are, then I’d be happy to discuss them further. But as pointed out, nobody cares. Comments like that make me not want to post in here anymore.

I care. I'm happy to discuss whatever with you man. Here, on the GAF Discord, or in PM.

I would encourage you to stay positive despite the rough experiences. I get the impression you've a lot of negative thoughts in your head. I think that is because you view everything through the lens of your sexuality. The worlds a big place, you can find others who identify as asexual that will be able to better empathize with your situation--the trick is just finding them. For everything, try creating bonds around other shared interest first, rather than filtering everything through the lens of being asexual. This is all said with a huge asterisk because I only know a small portion about you and only from your posts here on GAF. You could be Brad Pitt IRL for all I know.

If you like certain sports or movies, shows, literature, music, etc. you can start conversations just discussing those and build friendships through those fields, online or off. Everything else kind fo falls into place from there. We've got a good sampling of communities here on GAF. If there's one you want to see, create it or ask round if others share the interest, maybe someone is willing to make an OT.

Again, feel free to hit me up anytime you want to chat.

I have a lot of negative thoughts in my head because, despite the facade of positivity I put on, I’ve had a lot of negativity in my life. There are only two people on here who know the exact reason why I’m negative 99.9% of the time. I do have good things in my life - friendship, a job, money - but, to me, the negatives outweigh the positives. If you knew half the story, you’d understand.

It’s difficult being the only a*****l I know. Anytime I mention it on here, I get ridiculed and mocked. But the only reason I talk about it a lot on here is because I have nobody else to talk to about it. It’s not exactly easy being me, being in my head 24/7. Not to sound too pessimistic, but there truly are days where I wish I wouldn’t wake up. This comes more from past events rather than my sexuality, but as past events have had an effect on my sexuality, the two go hand-in-hand.

That said, I am taking strides to better myself. I start seeing a therapist next month to talk through my issues, I’ve started walking more - I’m doing my 10K steps a day, which is a lot for a man of my stature - and I’ve started eating more healthily. My social circle has extended through work, and I have met a few nice guys through social apps who aren’t after sex. But these people don’t know about me, my sexuality, my life. And that’s because I wear this false mask of happiness. On here, I have a certain level of anonymity. I don’t know. I’ve rambled on enough. If you truly do want to talk, feel free to PM me.

I've observed that sometimes your sarcasmmeter needs calibration. Most people are taking the piss amicably, not maliciously. You also like to participate in the occasional back and forth roasting too, and if you're going to engage in the bantz, then be prepared to get as good as you give. Don't take it so personally.

This is why at my business no one is an exclusive top. In order to be a well rounded professional, you need to catch as well as you pitch.

edit: I can also guarantee you that you're not the only asexual on here.

I’m sure I’m not alone in being able to detect sarcasm all the time on an Internet forum, but I will admit that I have good days and I have bad days. I’m on 45mg Mirtazapine daily for my depression and anxiety, and, as with all anti-depressants, it can affect your mood. I’m not trying to use that as an excuse for me being a dick, but it is at least partially responsible.

It showed as Cindi Mayweather first, who hasn't been active since 2018 and then suddenly the whole topic is the new guy. Name changes don't reset the registration date/time, so no idea what's going on there.

Can brand new members make threads now? Two posts, two threads.

looks like he ate a ban at ree, or just left, then reactivated here, then created the first thread on his old account, then didn’t want his old account shown for whatever reason so he remade the thread on a new account, then politely asked for the original thread created on his old account to be locked.

*whew*

How horny do you tend to be, on a 1-10 scale?

What or who turned you on today? Were you able to remain the king of your castle or did you surrender to the horniness and cup yourself into oblivion? Yesterday, my friend messaged me on Words with Friends... and seeing her name made me instantly aroused, haha. It doesn't take much to turn this...

I’m not opposed to any kind of arrangement people want to make, but to be clear about my own situation: I was making a joke. Although the recovery from Kid 1 was so long I about felt like going down that path. I wanna say it was like 6 months…
