reminds me of my attitude toward gay marriage: yay, another way for pretty people to have better lives.

It's okay. A lot of guys say I'm attractive, but once I tell them I wasn't born male, they're disgusted and want nothing to do with me.

 

Who needs them anyways.

You are my rock Unc

I have told you what I think over and over again. You have helped me and so many others.

I may be a young pup, but I have as many self-esteem hiccups as you have.

Try to stop trying, and let others do the running. You work on yourself, not who you think these pricks are looking for.

You are better than that. And deserve better than that.

Life is surprising and we must be open to possibilities. Just remember you can "never say never".

 

And yes, your position is safe and comfortable, but sometimes you have to take a chance. If opportunity knocks, don't knock it!

People suck, and the gay crowd sucks even more. I've learned that a long time ago, and it's why I stay away from it. The gay crowd...not people

 

Sure your life prolly sucks in that regard, but so does mine and so do a lot of peoples'. Like you said, channel your energy into building yourself up into an individual living life to your interests rather than always looking for another person to attach yourself to. It's what I'm trying to do. Screw people and what they want or don't want. I'm better than any of the guys who's ever turned me down.

Wayne, with friends and people that truly care about you, no mask is needed. If you're wearing a mask for yourself, stop it! You're an awesome guy! You can't tell me that in a city of however million there are there, that they aren't the right guy for you. You really really should meet my friend from there. I'm no match maker, but I do know my friends. But, what someone else said is true, you have to like yourself first. And from what I know of you, I hope this doesn't upset you, but I can say, I love you. You have been an awesome friend.

Aww, this is such a shame. And something, this "being pretty" thing that winds me up every time someone tells me about it. Over here, but I guess it's the same everywhere, it's especially those people in the gay community who shout the loudest that they want respect, emancipation and whatnot that do the very same thing they critise in heterosexual people to people of their own that don't fit their ideal. Unfortunately people in the majority never think that minorities work with the exact same mechanisms so if they learn about that they go "What? Really? But they are discriminated against themselves, so they should be open-minded." and that makes it harder for the concerned person again and easier to put on and create a mask. I think I said so before most of my friends are gay men and I go no big dealings with lesbian women, because I get their "treatment" (an all time favourite if not my handicaps or my personal refusal to fit into stereotypes is that I am friends with the gays), so I know what it can feel like. I got a friend born in 1966, 1,82 m in height and 120 kg in weight, so you could say he is overweight. He is a very witty, bright and tolerant person, with adorable - if I say so it means something - crows' feet around his eyes and he experienced just what you described. So I've seen the suffering first hand. Like I said, a shame. And hard not to be put down by that, I know.
