there is nothing GAY about living as a gay guy

[jamie_01930]

over the past several years I think I gave living as a gay guy the best I could. I have a very strong feeling it isn't worth the power to blow it across the room.
I find it lonely,secuded,private.and has no meaning


or did I miss something somewhere

Wow.

Jamie, that is a powerful statement.

I live as a gay man, totally "out", I have not slept with or had sex with another man for years. I am a proud gay man. It is a state of mind, living free, not hiding. I am happy.

I am me.

Hugs "n" stuff

There's EVERYTHING gay about living as a gay man. No, it won't suddenly solve all your problems, but it'll stop the "living the lie" portion.

well given that you are partnered what are you saying about your own relationship???

seems like an odd question to pose under those circumstances.

but then again, what do I know?


being just a local village idiot something like this thread is beyond my reasoning.​

eM.

I don't understand exactly what this means.

One thing I have learned is that at times, it's difficult to live life as a gay man - but I think it's getting better and easier. I was born and raised in a rural area and when I decided to come out, I struggled with my feelings and emotions. I felt the loneliness you speak of, and it was a very trying time. Had I the support I needed, it would have been easier, even the internet and a place like JUB would have been most welcomed.

This world is geared up for straight couples, and being gay can be a challenge if you let it. Now that I have someone special to share my life with, and a host of friends (living near by and here on JUB) life is much easier.

Hang in there and expand your horizons... Life is what we make of it...

It may depend on how you define, living a gay life?

I live with my BF together. We do travel a lot on business and for pleasure and try to travel as much together as possible.

We shop together and we go out again, together.

Some of our friends are gay and many are not.

We do not fly rainbow flags anywhere.

We do not wear Birkenstocks/Crocks.

The chauff is being told that Volvo is not an acceptable alternative to a limo.

Pink Cadillac and a pink Jag are OK for some weekends, though.

Now, how gay is all that?

Well, it beats being a dead gay guy...

A lot of people find life lonely and meaningless. We gays certainly don't have monopoly on that.

"This above all, to thine own self be true." I'm not quite sure what you mean about living a gay lifestyle. Just living one's own life is enough. Please don't try to live the gay stereotype, as that is based in fantasy far too much. Anyway, just live & enjoy your partner!!
