2014 Selfie Creepfest/Post a picture of yourself thread

Based on all the gay people I know, Torie is correct in that the rules are different in the gay world. That isn't to say that there aren't monogamous gay couples, just like there are many non-monogamous straight couples, but the norms are markedly different. I base this not only on the gay people I know but from what they told me of the dating scene, etc.

Anecdotal evidence, really Gustaf?
Maybe the reason is because we monogamous gays don't hang out at Grindr.
My expeirience in the field is that a large majority of open and out gays want a stable monogamous relationship just as much as the next guy.

I don't think that the idea that "a large majority of open and out gays want a stable monogamous relationship" is false... but there's a difference between desires and actions, for both straight and gay men, that probably shifts the scales in practice in one direction for straight men and in another direction for gay men.

There's also, of course, a selection bias.  Perhaps you (and I) are not meeting the non-monogamous gays because we're not hanging out on Grindr

I'll upload a very important selfie relevant to certain folks in this discussion when I have access to a micro-USB

VERY IMPORTANT SELFIE



UNITED ATLAS CENTRISTS FOREVER

[ilikeverin]

Hey, verin, where's our selfie?

Oh!



Huh, I could swear we had some with Akno, too, but I can't find them...

Maybe it's time we just transition the Atlas to a gay dating site.

I see nothing wrong with this.  If I ever get around to organizing a meetup (in August maybe?), I'm definitely expecting at least one gay makeout sesh outside a Metro station.

Moi, looking more ancient than ever, with partner Dan, music composer Tim Hecker (BRTD would just love his music - very sensual, and you can feel the vibrations hitting your body in a very physical way), and artist neighbor Marc Scrivo, at home in Hudson.

You and Dan are adorable together.  He seems like a sweetie... what a great smile!

Normally never share my selfies with anyone even friends because I have no idea how to take a good one, but this one came out very nicely by my standards (thanks to inspiration to get better from people on here), so I'm gonna roll with it.

Who are you?

We all have to start somewhere.  Welcome, smilo!  *hughughug*

HUGE congrats, Andrew.  You really have worked extremely hard for this.

(Though I'm disappointed you didn't kilt up.)

Thank you The kilt was prepped, but it was too bulky to bring

Tragedy   Congrats!
