No. I wasn't alive during the AIDs holocaust of the 80s and didn't see friends die like many here, but I have seen first hand what it can do. My senior year, we had a gay guy who had HIV and he told us how miserable the medications used to make him and all the pills he had to take. He also told us how he had been turned down by so many relationships once they found out he was positive. So I would never even want to risk that cause its not worth all the shit you have to go through, not to mention it can keep you from getting certain jobs.

Where I grew up. A small city in southern New Hampshire. Where I go to college now, right outside the Philadelphia city limits.

Now you know how I feel when I post in the Soapbox and I watch my rep tumble.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Wait so you found that hat?!?! Last time I knew it was MIA.

I couldn't get through the entire video because the guy was so god damn annoying.

I think Macaulay Caulkin is more like it. A no longer famous, forgotten star who's a raging coke head. At least Sheen is still famous. Give it a couple years and the newest teenie bopper "heart throb" will come around and Justin Bieber will be the next Aaron Carter.

Sales tax? Rarely ever had to pay it. One of the few perks of living in New Hampshire. The New Yorkers and Massies always come up to our liquor stores and fill UHaul trailers full of liquor because it is so much cheaper without tax here.

Haha, when I saw the title I thought you were talking about the acne treatments they always advertise on TV.

MY biggest qualm about sex scenes in a lot of stories is that they are not always realistically written. Meaning, its their first time together and everything goes perfect with no road bumps at all. Well in my own experience and talking to others, thats not how it works in real life. I generally do not like reading sex scenes unless it truly adds to the story and rings true to real life. If it doesn't (and its usually obvious by the beginning of the scene) I skip over it. I'm looking at you Nifty.

Is she's the face of homosexuality were screwed.

At first I thought the girl on the left of the video before it starts was Justin Bieber.

"I was starting to get really frustrated with him and almost went all 8th grade on him by actively ignoring..." LMAO.

Okay, I'm curious for the couple of people who believe in actual love (not just confused lust) at first sight. How do you think it works that someone can fall in love with someone else upon seeing them for the first time and knowing nothing about them? I'm just curious, not bashing you, to find out what you guys think makes love at first sight possible.

Dude! Heavy weapons, backpacking, kayaking in gator waters! Sounds pretty damn manly to me. You may not like to do all manly things, but if you like to more manly things then not, then in my book you can consider yourself a manly man. I don't like to drink beer at all, I hate it. I would rather drink Mikes Hard Lemonade, or a Martini (often called vagina drinks ) but just cause I don't like drinking beer (which is considered something every manly man should do) doesn't make me less manly.

Justin Bieber is proof that the world is coming to an end in 2012.

Paya is right. No, I'm not naturally weak or effeminate. I'm very much a manly man, and thats just how I am. I don't pretend to be very macho because inside I'm effeminate; I am macho because thats just how I naturally am. But like all people, I do do some things that could be considered weak or 'gay' by others, so I do those things in complete privacy or around people I trust (aka my boyfriend or parents). Part of the reason I haven't come out yet completely is because I fear being labeled as weak and girly because I'm gay, even though I'm far from it. I have concluded to myself that I will prove to people over the next little bit of time that I am every much as masculine as my straight friends, and when I feel I've finally proven that beyond a reasonable doubt I will come out. I figure that if I leave no doubt in their minds to my masculinity, then even their preconceived notions can't override what I've proven to them. There, you just got a look inside the psychology of the mind of TetRefine.

So shave and take another photo with your face! If I remember correctly from your other photos, your face isn't worth hiding.

If people want to label me, they are going to and theres nothing I can do about it. Sexually, I strongly prefer guys but I still think girls are hot, but I wouldn't be rushing to jump into bed with them like with guys. So I guess the closest thing to that is 'Gay' hence why I put it in my profile. Although, I hate and avoid saying at all costs 'I'm gay' because that label denotes weakness and effeminacy to many people; two things I've worked hard throughout my life to not be. We as people want to put everything into neat little categories because it makes it easier to distinguish us from them. But like you pointed out, sometimes people don't entirely fit into the category and vary widely. I'm gay, but would never want to live among the 'gay community' because its just something that makes me gag and is the anti-me. So, since I'm gay shouldn't that mean I wanna go to gay pride parades, do drugs and screw every guy I can get my hands on at the club, or not act like a real man? No. Gay, bisexual, lesbian, whatever are just like straight people. We have a wide variation among us, and there isn't a 'one size fits all' category like so many people believe.

Nice! Just lower the phone a little bit in the next one.

Wow, I remember when I joined in August '09 there were a little over 7,000 members. And in just a year and a half it has increased by over 3,000! Just goes to show the quality of members and writing on GA.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Its too gay for my liking.
