Cupid, thank you for sharing that story. You are designed for bigger & better than that piss-ass backwater town. Chin up mate, keep going. You'll get to where you belong. Never doubt it

 

[xbuzzerx]

Clearly they learned nothing from the cake people. Is this even legal?

I doubt it very much.

 

[xbuzzerx]

I reported the ad, but I doubt it would do much help around here. I wouldn't give them business anyway.

Call the BBB. They'll freak when they get a call from them about it.

Why does it always seem to be the people who dismiss others for the dumbest ass reasons are the same ones complaining about being single?

I'm sorry--but you LOSE the privilege to complain to me about your dating life when you decide you can't date someone because of something as silly as not liking the kind of shoes they wear. shut the fuck up.

I really think a lot of people whine so much about not being in a relationship when they have not the first fucking clue what it takes to even make a real "connection" with a person or make it last, for that matter . Superficial fucks. If you're going into it with an 'until the going gets tough' attitude or 'until i decide it's not working because of (insert trivial reason here)'...it's doomed from the start.

Okay...I'm done.

Well yeah, how dare not enough people be up to their exacting high standards? I mean, what's even the point of people they don't see as future sex partners? They're just taking up space. It's all so bothersome.

Let's hope.

I don't need to hope Cupid, I know

I don't want to tell where I live specifically because I'm afraid that if someone found out I was on here I'd be gay bashed or something. But I live in Northern California. Southern California is where are the happy liberal tanned surfers are, Northern California is full of pot heads, racists, homophobes and generally terrible people.

The auto repair business is owned by Russians though, there are a lot of Russians here (who I actually really like in general) but they are very homophobic people. The men are so hot, but they have very deep hate for gays. I don't understand it. I remember in high school my teacher let all the Russian guys go on a hate speech about how much they hate gay people. In my college English class I got straight As then I wrote about being gay and I got an F on that paper. Hmmm, never got an F in my life. I didn't report him because I still passed with an A since I did so well in the class, but I got the message clear. As naturally happy and positive as I am I get depressed over living here.

So when people wonder why I'm single, or sad and on JUB all the time, well this is the only gay community I can be apart of for now. I tried to escape before but I'm alone and too poor for now. I'll just have to keep on with school and transfer far away, it's my only real shot. Anyway thanks for listening.

Thanks guys.

There are a lot of homophobic people in Southern California too. I've met some of those. So full of hate it's gross. One of my best friend's mother wants anyone not exclusively hetero to join her in prayer circles.

I think people are "surprised" when they hear about conservatives, racists or homophobes in California because people tend to think of everyone in a given place "all being like x." I'm sure any of our members from small towns know some pro-gay people, and some people in interracial relationships, etc. It's the same in reverse. I would say California is not progressive due to its "complete absence of bigots" but more as a general swing of its politics and what social norms will tolerate.

As a secondary note, once you're talking about inland California or California north of Sacramento, you're pretty much talking about these tiny little often homogeneous communities that have been that way since the Gold Rush, and aren't distinguishable from a similarly sized community in Oklahoma or Nebraska other than their zip code. Heck even everywhere in between the big cities qualifies, too, even along the coasts. I hardly think Kern County is anyone from outside of California's mental image of what California looks like.



Dunno about you dereperez but when I drive through these areas I'm expecting someone with a pillowcase over their head and a pitchfork to come running towards the car. "CITY PEOPLE!!"

Most people I know that are from outside California think Cali is all beaches, surfers, and palm trees. The reality of course is very, very different. I grew up in a smaller community myself and have known many gentle, yet overbearing citizens proudly waving their "no homo" flag. It hits home for me personally since I've been asked to pray away the gay side of me. Glittering generalities be damned.

Totally agree with you and Gentle heart, don't want to come off racist but I usually when Chinese gays here who desperately wants the white dick Or complains not getting hit on by certain type of white guys on grindr I mean hello White and black people can also get rejected for the same reasons. I have Italian friends who got told off by British to "go back to your Italy!" Thank god I love Hawaiian men/ pacific men & Japanese men too much to be bothered by the self-hating queens

@Cupid
sorry to hear about that I agree with you about Russians. There are a lot of former Soviet union USSR (Ukzbekistan. Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan) people in the area I live in. Even though they are friendly and not racist towards asians, they have deep hatred towards gays like you mentioned I think it's the way they are brought up in. My Uzbekistan friend told me he and his friends enjoys beating up transgenders

I just can't with these social experiments...it's like a train wreck I just have to watch...

 

[MissAnne]

UGHHHHH......Headache...long day...Is it Friday yet ?

 

[darden]

I look like I tried to kill myself :/

last night, I passed out on the couch while fully dressed in my hoodie/t-shirt and jeans. 6 hours later, I wake up to find a gigantic scratch mark across my neck from where my zipper was digging into it all night.

Omfg!

What the hell did I do to piss my lower back off?

I've always known I've had a tender lower back, but for some odd reason, this past week, I almost haven't gotten a moment's peace from the pain. Menthol patches have spared me from agony, but I have to wear them daily, almost.

It's the center of the lowest part of the human back - where the bottom of the back meets the top of the ass. It's honestly felt like somebody kicked me hard back there, although no one has. Pillows when I sit down help. I have to be extremely careful when getting out of bed and just waking up. I can kinda stand upright, although it hurts to stand up straight, and I've noticed that when I do, there is the sensation of a feeling a jarred nerve down my left thigh. It hurts, but it's a dull hurt. But it hurts.

I'm tired of being in pain so much.

I had real shit days of work Saturday/Sunday and my anxiety levels went through the roof on Sunday with how busy my store was, how many people who were completely helpless and had a problem with everything possible. And I only had one person to back me up. I was shaking and when I could I went to the back room and started to tear up. I called my boyfriend to help me calm down.

I was still on edge yesterday and it was my day off, today I am feeling anxious because I have work and I am worried about how I am going to handle things. I really need a new line of work or for things to slow down.
