Malegeneral: Don't post there unless you're an ovum

[ninjaboypink]

In my quest for self taken nude pictures, I came across a little forum called Malegeneral. At first I was taken with all the great pictures that were submitted and marveled at how the online gay community is wonderful supporting my porn habit. Then I read the forum rules. they actually have the audacity of setting aside an entire section called /ug "ugly" for guys that aren't up to their standards. It's sickening. The mods are all a bunch of sissy, long haired emo bottoms and it infuriates me that we allow such negativity to ruin an otherwise fun activity. We should be grateful for the male form, and that there are so many people out there that are willing to give us an inside peek for free. When we start drawing lines between /ug and /cam "camwhores" where does it end? it's reality that not everyone can look perfect, and they're not getting paid so who are you to complain?

we live in a world full of hate and adversity towards us. even in our modern times, homosexuality is about as accepted as marijuana (just not illegal in most places). like women, why are we placing unrealistic expectations. Also, where are the older gay guys to act as role models of acceptance, health and positivity? The older generation needs to speak up and show these mindless twinks that looks fade, our bodies change and it's mentally unhealthy to not accept our beautiful male bodies(which no matter the makeup, clothes, accent or demeanor remain male)

I strongly feel that is time for an evolution in our community. I am only 150 lbs. and work out daily. I have a defined physique but that doesn't mean I'm going to turn down a chubbier guy. Some of the best sex I've had has been with people who are unconventionally attractive. I'm also 26 years old with a 30 year old fiancee who I love dearly. It's time for us to pull a "Tyra" and start loving each other warts and all. I'd never promote an unhealthy lifestyle, but it's imperative that we end the "gay stereotype" and this illusion that gay means young, anorexic, hung like a horse and promiscuous.

Just saying.

P.S. don't post pics on MG. they are pretentious and the site needs to crash. Again.

No problem.



Let's trade then, I'm ready to move somewhere else. It is a nice place though.

^Or maybe find it yourself(and then go there)?

Well, there are forums out there for bears only and anyone twinky who put a pic up on them would be shot down in flames... these guys know what they want and they spell it out in no uncertain terms. Is /mg really any different in terms of specifying what each of their boards is for and expecting people to go along with it?

There are sites out there (like our own Jub amateur forum ) which don't have a preference for body type - go find one of those if you want to camwhore without the megalomaniacal nonsense which occurs when you mix an unsupervised and significantly younger crowd with an unfettered internet.

I'm not saying what they do is right, mind - but it is advertised and they're upfront about it and there's nothing underhanded and/or sinister going on. R.O.A.R, as the signs say outisde bars and nightclubs.

Older men of the gay community... HA

Have you read around? Its a youth controlled culture, we gays have.

I get plenty of respect from young hetero men, but sadly...

Young gay men for the most part don't really look to me for leadership. It would get in the way of who's playing on the video monitor at the club.

Ehh.. I was the same way when I was their age, sorry to have to admit.

Let the twinks police the twinks.

wow, so much for being idealistic. I never knew being up front was better than realizing that our culture is horribly flawed. I guess that's why I hate being a gay guy. I'm going to go back to writing my novel now.

That's nuts. You hate yourself because of the actions of some people on an internet site?

Man, you're not doing a very good job of living.

 

[pat grimshaw]

The site seemed postmodern to me. They has the same guys in the ugly section as in the non-ugly section

Mkay let's not fight emo with emo.

It is hard to make a case that the gay community is falling apart and sliding into a hole of ageist discrimination in just a couple of paragraphs without sounding like the sky is falling. People have different experiences and they're more likely to come around to a new perspective after a lot of conversation rather than having a sudden conversion because of hearing about one incident.

Some of the people here for instance know just how much the diversity of the gay community is both enjoyed, and successful. If not everywhere, then certainly in the right quarters. Evolution is one thing, but revolution might fall flat.

Anyway, I'm now closer to 40 than to 20. When I was 22 and coming out people were complaining about ageism in the gay community way back then.

In my circle, all the same age who had met at school, none of us particularly cared about the age of an attractive person. And none of us particularly agreed on who was an attractive person. Some looks were more popular but none of them were universal.

Now that the shoe's on the other foot and people are starting to reach their 40s, we continue not giving a damn about age or one particular aesthetic ideal. We never went "Well I guess that's it for our generation. We'd better start surrendering to the cruel whims of people half our age. It was nice while it lasted." I think we've all got pretty good heads on our shoulders.

I will say this however: most of us have scattered to the winds. Almost none of my friends from university live in the same city any more. Well, at least not more than half. And we've mostly checked out of The Gay Community™ because we have enough things going on with our lives to keep us busy - with each other's company for instance, or catching up when we get a chance to visit each other across country. It's hard enough keeping in touch with each other, never mind meeting new people who are officially gay. New people would never see us; none of us participate in official gaydom as we once did.

I will agree with ageism in one aspect. The Gay Community™ is often actually The Coming Out Community™ which if you think only about those coming out, is mostly going to be filled with young people newly coming to terms with their sexuality and a few people who have been in the closet for a decade or two. Just by law of averages their dating prospects are going to be reduced in a room full of mostly young people who have a better day-to-day understanding of each other and who are faced with some of the same opportunities, insecurities, possibilities, etc.

And when I think back to my early days in The Coming Out Community™ I think it was harder for older men, or socially awkward men, or men with looks that stood out. The older men who fit in were ones who had been out for years, comfortable in their skin, and were really more a part of The Gay Community rather than the subset of those of us who were coming out. Some communities have mid-life coming out groups, which are probably a good idea.

Actually I've found a few reasons in this thread as to why I should probably check back in to the gay community even if just to keep the young'uns in check.

I'm not saying the culture isn't horribly flawed. I am saying that the site owner makes the rules, and those are them. He's paying the bill, so he gets to call the shots. The fact that we don't like the calls he makes are no skin off his back; he's not asking any of us to go there and we're certainly not bringing him business or money for his efforts.

Wouldn't you be fucked off if someone tried to tell you how to run your website when you know exactly what you want from it? Of course you would.

What are you going to rail about next, that there are surprisingly few catwalk supermodels who are hunchbacks and/or burn victims and/or obese? That industry and those people are as guilty as /mg of only wanting lookers in their environments.

I understand your zeal, OP, but I hardly think it's time to pick up the flag and rally the troops. I'm 41. I wasn't one of the "hot guys" twenty years ago, and I sure as hell ain't one now. There were no "hot self porn" back in the day, but if there had been, I'd been in the fugly section.

So?

I know when I was 20, I had a very specific type that I desired, and really didn't want to be sussed with anything else. And, being young dumb and full of cum, I somehow felt these uber-hotties should lower their standards and give me a fair shake - something I felt I was somehow exempt from.

Then I grew up. Got smarter. Realized plenty of guys liked me, and if I gave them a fair shake, I might find them pretty hot, too.

It sounds like you're in that zone now. Admiring a wide range of guys. And the people on this other site...aren't. Just means you've matured beyond it. No need to stick your tongue out at it. I don't critique the Disney Channel line-up - it's not aimed at me. And this site you mention isn't aimed at you.

Hopefully, you found the self-pic section here. It sounds like it might be up your alley. Guys of all shapes, sizes and ages. If people like, they respond. If they don't, they don't. Simple as that. I've posted a few, making up for my age and less-than-impressive features by trying some different camera angles, lighting, and what not. Guess what? Got some fans. Not ahuge crowd, but more than enough to boost the ego, and make me want to try some more. Maybe you can do the same.

1. It's an anonymous *chan-style message board. Don't expect deep conversations there, it's mainly provocation, shock value or general antisocial behaviour.
2. They do a good job calling themselves fags, just like the role model chan-boards run by gay-haters who have established that word
3. I wouldn't be surprised if that board was closed for being borderline-pedo.

>>>Am I alone in thinking this is a thinly-veiled advertisement?

I considered it, but the OP sure doesn't have much good to say about it (and the follow-up posts sort of cemented that impression. I guess the post would get guys who exclusively (or mainly) liked "sissy long-haired emo bottoms" to rush to checkmout the site, but I for one had no interest.
