Were you a Queen as well?
A goth boy in a skirt most of the time but not a Queen. ETA: Just noticed you're also from Melbourne. I wonder if I met you or your housemate or if our times do not line up.

It'd be really cool if you were him. I had to kick him out cos he was doing heroin in our loungeroom with this woman who was a really nasty piece of work. No idea if he's even still alive. You aren't Aussie are you?
Yeah, just edited my last post - I'm from Melbourne, I wonder if I met you or your housemate or if our times do not line up.
Well we met early 2000s and parted ways in 2006.
I was out in the clubs all the time from from 2001 to 2005 and then less often after that. I went to The Peel the most of gay clubs I think. Mostly I went to goth and techno nights but I always ended up there or Revolver at 5am
Yeah we went to The Peel but never Revolver. Does your name start with B?![]()
Sadly no, starts with an A.

I met my husband and father of child online in the 90s when it was Internet Relay Chat, which was just scrolling text.
There were channels and we were both on #philosophy and #politics. So it was more of a shared interest thing.
They pretend it's that now but it's really just a catalogue of faces, ages, locations..![]()
Yes, of course. Lots of gay guys know they're good looking and lots of other gay guys will hit on them. And not only does it give them a lot of power to pick and choose, it can naturally make them feel a bit more, uh, entitled, maybe, and to take the attention and their elevated status for granted.
Do Bears treat Twinks like Bitches?
I feel like I'm writing some logic question with made up words lol
all of thisThere's no such thing as true equality in the world, only ideologically. There are always people who are "more" or "less" of something than other people. In the gay world, this hierarchy plays out almost entirely based on looks and physical attributes, and it is all channeled through the lens of sex. (Side note, I am talking about gay CULTURE, there are obviously diverse individuals out there.) Hypermasculine features are favoured: muscles, facial hair, height, deep voice (especially if it's non-faggy), emotionally subdued demeanor, stoicism, etc. Men with these attributes or those who are just above average attractive in general are usually acutely aware that they are higher on the hierarchy and behave accordingly, sometimes as jerks. 10/10 guys will usually only be with other 10/10 guys or slightly lower. They may use and discard men who reside at any level on the hierarchy, but that's no different than straight men and women who are hot. The self-awareness in the gay male world is excessive though. Because men are attracted to men they also curate themselves to be attractive, which means there is hyper awareness of bodily features and attributes. It's bizarre. It's why straight women always say that gay men are so attractive. Well duh, it's because they know what a good looking man looks like so they curate themselves.
What is unique in the gay world is that there are two hierarchies running simultaneously. There is the attractiveness hierarchy... so gay men are catty and competitive with one another like women are with other women about looks and sexual power. But then they are also competing in the dominance hierarchy, just like straight men do (i.e. the desire to be "alpha" with career and money). When the two complexes collide, it makes for a lot of intrigue. A man may like you because you're physically hot but then compete with you because you are a financial adversary. He may want to BE you because you are hotter than him. He may want to procure you and shelter you from other men, possessively. He may want to treat you like shit because he thinks he's better than you, yet he will still sleep with you because he's sexually attracted to you; or may he resent the fact that he's gay and attracted to you at all. Basically, all the dynamics that can occur between men and women in a statistically sex-divided way, ALL occur within gay male relationships.
And yes, there are bullies in the gay world. There are narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths. There are people with low self-esteem who take it out on other men. I don't know about the nerd thing. Nerds get made fun of everywhere, but in the gay world "nerds" and "geeks" are a subculture that is desirable to some. I for one love a guy who is attractive and also super smart because I can't date dullards.
It's so complicated. Yet somehow we manage to function in the world lol.
all of this
as a gay you are hyper aware of how hot you are relatively because your the consumer and the producer.
its really hard to meet someone that you can connect with because the situations are bullshit where you contact other gays. clubs and apps. short term shallow scenarios
Yea it's usually guys that mix up being dominant with being abusive. They can be younger or older any race, and any financial level, although it's more prevalent with guys that have lots of money.
There seems to be a rift between masculine men and feminine acting guys. So they're either picking on each other or f****** each other's brains out.
Confidence is sexy. Overconfidence, or self-centeredness is not for me.
There's all sorts of sub categories of guys out there. You just sort through the individual people to find one that fits your ideal match.
Those pnp guys are usually very pushy and think they are all super models or porn stars. But looks fade overtime, and if they never really develop a unique personality they end up getting stuck in that mindset that they're still 22 well past their prime.
