G8: Still Just As Action-Packed!

[spideyboy_1111]

I don't know why we go through our men's s*** for the expressed purpose of trying to find s***. I'm sorry you found something disagreeable, but now you may have compounded your issue. If you approach him about it, he will not only feel accused and become defensive, but you'll be giving him the double whammy of the fact that you invaded his privacy. That translates to distrust.

agrees. it's an incredibly tough situation. but, i still think it's best to talk about it. People jump to alot of conclusions at times. But at the same time.. the worst is often true. But.. not talking about it really solves nothing but makes Max increasingly paranoid.

it's best to have at it, have the argument, and figure out where to go next. Work it out, or leave and move on

there's no answer to this that doesn't completely suck

Behold! The No. 1 best thing that has ever happened to this thread!! ^

Of course it would come from me

 

[The Original Bamfer]

I would never live a lie, which is why I can say that I don't want to be physically attracted to men.

 

[Schlosser85]

Why not?

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I would never live a lie, which is why I can say that I don't want to be physically attracted to men.

Well, good luck with that. You're actually a very good-looking guy so unless you plan on walking around with a paper bag on your head...men are going to be attracted to you.

Embrace it. It will give you power.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Well, I have accepted it. I have absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's just that it'd be easier being a straight guy. And I think, since I like men, certain things are expected of me... a lot of which honestly makes me uncomfortable. But I'm never going to lie about who I am, so if I fall in love with a man, I'll do anything to make it last. I like men. I'm cool with it, but should I have the option - you know, the one many people think we have - to choose, I'd choose to be completely straight (though I'm pretty sure everyone's a little gay or a little straight as there's a lot of grey area when it comes to sexuality.) But love is far too important to me... if I was in love with a man and given the opportunity to somehow become straight, I wouldn't. I chose to accept it, and am choosing to embrace it - should I find the right guy - its just that I have an already-toxic extended family that won't take to it and those expectations from the "gay scene" and the "straight society" unnerve me. It's something I need to get used to, I guess. I am who I am and I'm not going to compromise myself.

And, thanks, Cal, for the much-appreciated compliments, but I'm thinking you mixed my picture(s) up with someone else's.

No. I didn't.

Although I will admit the pic was the most Chin-And-Up-Only pic I've ever seen. Lol. Such a tease.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

It's because I have five arms. True story.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

It's because I have five arms. True story.

Aww. Well, fret not, my partner has three legs. I have all of these deformed people in my life.

You guys should start your own Mutant circus.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Three legs? I'm seriously considering this circus thing...

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Three legs? I'm seriously considering this circus thing...

Yep. It's a thing of wonderment. He can actually suspend himself in the air on just the 3rd leg alone in a total "Look Ma, no hands!" formation. We call it his um...secondary mutation. And both of you are very handsome so I'm sure people would pay big $$$ to see your respective talents in action.

Ugly freaks just scare away viewers. t:

 

[The Original Bamfer]

I need visual aid.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I need visual aid.

I'll send you a private link to his videos on X-I mean-Youtube.

...when I told Bamf he was attractive, he didn't believe me either.

live for yourself, not anyone else. You can spend your entire life living for someone else and being miserable. Never let people who don't get or understand who you are decide who and what you are for you. you can be miserable trying to live up to everyone elses ideals.. wasting your life and regretting never being yourself. So live for yourself, and your beliefs, your morals, your own lifestyle... then people who come into your life will love you and appreciate you for you.

If you like who you are today, than never regret anything. If you do not like who you are today, then it's never to late to do something about it. Whether you're 16 or 96 you can still rejuvenate and change your life.. that's the beauty of it. You only have one life, live it in which ever way makes YOU happy. Sometimes all you need is a bunch of small changes... or just one huge one. But you always have a choice in the matter. It may not be easy, enjoyable, and might even be the hardest thing you've ever done in your life... but nothing worth while comes easy. And no reward comes without it being earned.

so keep a chin up, and figure out what it will take to make you happy with YOU. The only reason you'd want to be born straight is because it makes your life easier.. because of others. Not because of what makes you happy.

The best people i've honestly ever met in life... had the most hurdles in their life. The worst people ive ever met in my life... tend to have had the least, and are typically the most unsympathetic and delusional towards others.

A lot of good and appreciated advice! But as you said, it won't be easy. I'm at the stage in my life where I am getting angry. But a healthy kind of anger; an anger that makes me say what I've wanted to say to certain people my entire life. Despite my sometimes-misconstrued (and misdirected) humor and my occasionally-edgy tone, I'm quite submissive (don't go there!) to everyone in "reality," - though my humor's quite the same - especially family. I tend to be a punching bag for them and have since I was a child. But I'm getting sick of it and making it known... in small doses. So I think I'm getting there, but I've got a lot of self-retraining left to do.

very awesome! there comes a point where you just go... "f'that, i don't care anymore and won't tolerate it. The same can be said with drama, and negativity. They will always happen, but i just now spin it around the best i can. If you can't help something.. don't fight it. just learn how to deal with it. I've just really tried to let not as much bother me as they use to.

It took me a whole bunch of bad experiences in my life.. and several several years to figure this whole "life" thing out... and i know how you feel with family. My straight guy friends always kinda of have made me the butt of jokes (never about being gay, just my awkwardness or personality) and it use to bother me alot when i was a teen, my dad is also a huge type of person who's been that way. He would always blittle my mother and I because he was so incredibly miserable. Today, my friends jokes and stuff don't bother me, they just effected me more as a teen due to the fact i felt very much alone, closeted.. and i really hated that feeling. the jokes just made me feel more alone and alien like... as for my dad.. we're just not very close. probably never will be unfortunately. Sometimes it bothers me.. like the idea that my dad really never taught me anything growing up..and i really don't have any good teen memories of him, and have very very few good childhood memories of him. The only thing he taught me, was to try my hardest to never become anything like him.

That sounds like an incredible lesson.

I've finally gotten to that point in my own life as well. I think it's a good thing man.

It took a lot in me not to say something when he did it a couple of weeks ago to you and your mother. Just sayin...

So.... I'm drunk enough to admit this thread is the only reason I come to the hype anymore. Y'all are awesome, even when you're not.

 

[Schlosser85]

I'm drunk too! *internet high five*

 

[Captain_BluTac]

You mean *drunkernet high five*

Shut up, I'm funny.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

He has image issues.

Usually, the best-looking ones do.
