The iGays Are Way Too Sick: turn off life support

[Kulindahr]

The fact that he thinks "everyone" is like this indicates to me that he has participated in exactly the same behavior he is protesting.

Or maybe everyone he knows does, and he feels left out.

I don't get the whole electronic "life" thing. My people skills are dismal, but I'd still rather go hang out at a bar than try to "meet" people online.

i actually wholeheartedly agree with what he's saying. there's way too many guys that devalue themselves and project themselves onto other men. they see themselves as sex objects, beautified mannequins that are supposed to be relics of aesthetics and treat other gay men the same because they have nothing else to rely upon. then they wonder why they feel so empty and things are so superficial to the point where there's a lack of realness there. it's basically dehumanization of one's self because they don't feel that they are human. as a means to get over the hurt of being rejected by society, they basically do things to divert it but it's still there. as much as many gay guys want to run around with this sense of ownership screaming "gay pride" this and that, it's clear that the psychological effects of discrimination of lgbtq people are damaging because these are the obvious effects of it. it just seems like a coping mechanism. the guy that basically prides himself off of his looks, showcases it as his best and only good attribute that feels the need to sleep around with other guys that he feels are good looking as well as a means of reinforcing that feeling of himself is really a guy who has low self esteem and self worth.

one thing that i do notice is how you have many gay men trying to show how better they are than their fellow gay peers BUT they never ever try or even attempt to do the same thing with straight people because they can't. that feeling of inferiority comes in because they know that people will accept the straight person regardless of whatever before they accept the gay person. they'll be quit to call another gay men ugly or find some other way to put him down BUT a straight person, they won't even bother. they'll concede to defeat.

Refugi, do you realise that he guy you're wholeheartedly agreeing with was a practitioner of this "discrimination", untill he hit his mid-30's and was brushed aside by people just like himself.
He's not bothered by the meat market mentality of hook up sites/apps, just the fact that his meats no longer marketable.
IMO...Fuck him, what comes around goes around. You can bet this wasn't a problem when he was the one making others feel inferior.

as you said, that's karma. in no way am i saying that the messenger is a good person or feeling sorry for him. i'm only giving him props on what he's saying because i agree. the ignorant sometimes have to experience themselves up close and personal in order to learn how their ignorance impacts others in order to realize that they're wrong or ignorant. whether he learned his lesson or not as what you said where he's only upset that he can't get the guys that he wants anymore and the whole hookup culture, i hope he did. if not, then that's his loss. people have to get burned sometimes in order for them to get the message. some people never learn and then they wonder why they're stuck in the same position they're in.

Self pity bullshit. I know there are gays who quite successful and freed themselves from cookie cutter box
Our destiny do not predetermined by our sexual orientation.
Although lots of truth- if you FALL and stuck in that kind of demographic ^^

True.. I sensed nothing but bitterness from the author. While he made some valid points (that were certainly true among gay culture), I question his motives.

The author is an idiot. I think he's still focused on the 27 year old "adonis" that he parades around in that photo, but is bitter those type of guys aren't into him. Maybe if he tried to go for another man around his age, maybe with a belly and maybe not a 10, but might be a great person, he'd be happier.

The solution: ditch your addiction to online apps- appreciate and cherish a guy you've been eyeeing on.."Appreciate" him wholesomely! Inside and outside, filter all your bad intentions before you approach somebody, really question your motives.

have that early teenage love affair you had from long time ago..Treat him as worthy, not disposable..
