Seattle could be nice but I've heard it rains there A LOT, like way more than here. I also heard that the std infection rate (among gay men) is higher there

nvm Seattle. But yeah I dunno. Maybe a different bar? Think you know from SD every bar/club has a different culture. The ones downtown are not the same as the ones in PB or Hillcrest etc. There's gotta be more places in Portland. OR you can try to blend in and like I dunno, stop taking showers?

That was also my first thought when I heard about that There are only so many gay bars in Portland though they all have a different crowd.. here it's mostly bears and older men trying to get with the young ones. or bottom twinks who think they're entitled or jocks who only go for attention. and if I stopped taking showers then they would think I'm from Oregon. I wear Versace cologne and scrub my ass before I leave the house lol

But that's what you want. You want them to think you're a local right? Or you could stay single and eventually become a crazy cat person and people gonna think you're from Oregon anyway.
Perhaps you should consider moving back to California hmm?

I have tattoos on me that show I'm from California though lol. That's a dead giveaway. I always think about moving back but money is still a major issue.. a guy can dream though.

LMAO oh no. Well. Cover them up.
Straight bars are so boring.. jesus. But like once every new moon, you'll find a gay there, but mostly bi people. Maybe that's it. Maybe look for someone bi if that's even possible, like they're wearing on their sleeve lol.

What I'm not covering them up lol I gotta show love 😎 They're a part of who I am. but anyway.. bi guys? so I have to deal with woman too? No way

Flower

5y

I was thinking about that the other day. Is that a thing? Do people worry that their bi bf/gf could be cheating on either sex? I guess maybe it's a thing. I do feel more attracted to women when I'm dating a man and more attracted to men when I'm dating a woman. I dunno. I'm weird. So I think IF you ever were to date someone bi, worry about the opposite s***of them.

Hey do you play an instrument? I think hipsters love instruments and people who can play them.

Old Sport

5y

Having to deal with other gay men is already enough I don't think I could handle women too but yeah I think that's the logic behind it and I'm sure most people would feel that way. I'd be worried too much about being cheated on.

I don't play any instruments but I played the violin for a brief time in third grade. Lol. I refuse to submit to the hipster way! I have Cali blood in me

wym there are hipsters in California too. But either way, bi people can't be trusted. It's funny how so many people stop playing instruments like right around that time. I stopped playing piano in 3rd grade. Like ok what do you do in Oregon if not hanging out with hipsters? Are there normal people there?

Old Sport

5y

Well I know that lol I was talking about the hipsters in Oregon. and you played piano? Very nice. You must have long fingers lol.. mine are long and I've been told I should play. but not sure if it's for me.

and what do we do in Oregon.. hmm.. lol. That's a tough one.

Flower

5y

First time hearing that one. Never thought there was a link between long fingers and pianos. I have normal fingers?

Like what do you do??
Fishing? I have no concept of Oregon. In my head it's all forest.

Old Sport

5y

Apparently there is

You're concept isn't wrong though.. lots of trees and nature. The gay men here claim they hike but they don't lol. I can't hike myself unfortunately but I probably wouldn't want to even if I could. beside that, really not much.. the usual. restaurants, movies, bowling. We have a couple malls.

Flower

5y

Maybe that's why I stopped playing piano. Also, hiking is overrated. I only do it like once a week. I don't think I could ever date a hipster. I need someone who creates art, not someone who is preoccupied with consuming art. Are there a lot of artsy gays there? I think I wanna date a ballet dancer, don't care what gender. Just putting it on my list. But then, artsy people have such messy apartments. ugh. Is it true that people over there like actually eat shrooms instead of getting high off them?

Spent time thinking about my first real boy crush and it was probably Dean Cain playing Clark Kent in some 90s Superman show. Never liked his superman transformation. Show was trash but he just looked amazing and so mysterious with glasses on smh 😓

The hipster lifestyle in Oregon is interesting but definitely not something I'd be a part of. Lol. but yeah.. that's just how artists are. Artists are quirky so of course they aren't gonna keep their place clean 🤣 Although I used to be somewhat of an artist but I'm a clean and organized person. Yes they eat shrooms here lmao

Flower

5y

lmao eating shrooms for nutritional value. So weird. Yeah artists and me seem to bond on some other plane but I don't get how they prioritize things. It just doesn't make sense to non-artists. What scene are you part of now that you're not in California?

Old Sport

5y

Not only for nutritional value but to get high off as well. Lol. but yeah.. they don't know how to prioritize anything other than art which is why they're life is messy. Art can be messy too though I'm not a part of any scene, I'm my own scene.

Flower

5y

You're your own scene and have your own style?

I upgraded my wardrobe but I still feel unfulfilled

Flower

Maybe there is more to life than looks.

LMAO jk. Maybe drag might be your thing.

Old Sport

5y

In the gay world it's all about looks.. nobody cares about what's on the inside.

I don't have the body to do drag lmao

Flower

5y

Truth truth. I mean you don't wanna look like a het do you?

But also kinda not cause so much about LGBTQ culture is about expressing what's inside to the outside and standing out because we have to appeal to the male gaze or so I like to think...

But yeah Pride fest always makes me feel home but also hella inadequate because everyone is on their A game smh. You spending Pride over there? 👀
