i had read somewhere that it's all because of being wokeness into the military

Come on, @Unicorn
Perhaps, calm down.

There is very much an IMPORTANT distinction between disapproval and "hate".
Hardly a trivial matter.

I raised the issue of behavior vs persons because discussion of persons’ acceptance because of who they are seemed like a larger more political issue, not for this forum. 
 
Behavior can be changed by individuals to become acceptable, or the standard of what’s acceptable can become less rigid over time to allow formerly shunned behaviors.
“Socially acceptable” as a term originally referred to changeable behaviors. Applying it now to immutable characteristics is probably not a good way to frame the issue, IMO

I suspect you need to let go of the idea that you are undesirable.  Fat, skinny, old, young, short, tall… there is someone for everyone.
Even on Grindr you’ll come across younger guys that are looking for 50’s and 60’s or very large guys.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  While societal norms make it seem like 25, tan, tall, with abs is the ideal… I don’t care for facial hair which is also in right now.
Don’t fall into the trap of believing that only guys that are x get laid.
In fact, I invite you to play a game with me.  While you are walking around, keep track of how many guys you’re attracted to.  For me, it’s like a 1:10 ratio.  However, most of them are regularly getting laid by someone who is attracted to them.
We need to let go of the notion that you have to be perfect to find any sort of love.  

No, no, no. The transgender community is NOT to blame for the reversing of gay acceptance of the Gay community.  Not in in long shot.  If there is one to blame for any reversing of Gay acceptance is its the hate-mongering that has come from religious extremists  and right-wing politicians who hate anything that's different. Right-wing politicians curry favor from their right-wing base by fostering hate-mongering. This only augments more hate in society, which spills over to other communities.  To blame the transgender community is very misplaced and deeply disappointing. 
 
 
And to insinuate any reversing of gay acceptance of the Gay community is due to the Poly(amorous) community is also misplaced and inaccurate.   The Poly community is about Love and increasing the ability to Love.  There is nothing about hate.  How does anyone come across Love and turn it to hate? Anyone interfacing with the Poly community & then diminishing their acceptance of different community (the Gay community) only reveals that persons own inability to love, and rather, to hate.  The Poly community are not to blame.  I inadvertently became friends with some people in the Poly community roughly 10 yrs ago.  I found them to so loving and kind, not only to one another, but to me.  I saw no arrogance of superiority-like stance in them to me or others.  They totally knew I was Gay and they knew I was not equipped/capable of having a poly relationship.  Nevertheless, they treated me wonderfully.  
Tragically, the transgender community is such a misunderstood & maligned group by society. But we are an amazing group of Gay/Bi men on this board.  We must not buy, misdirect, or buy into hate.  This board is full of (mostly) intelligent, kind and generous men who I hope agree with me. 
 
much love to all,

tell that to the familys of over 1 million who died in the United States alone.  People are continuing to die each day in the US to the  equilivent of 1 major plane crash a day in deaths.  I guess that is all a "hoax" also 
 
 
 

We do have elected representatives who are trans.

I saw Tai a couple years ago in San Diego and it was an above average massage with awesome extras. I found him friendly, smart, and sexy and would def repeat. The words dirty and sleazy are kind of offensive.
 

I saw Tai on a visit to New York a few years back... hired as a masseur - ridiculously bad massage work followed by an absolutely wonderful "experience"
I would repeat but only with clear expectations and probably not that often

I agree.  I don't hire him as a masseur anymore only for the "experience" now....and like you not that often lol

Ive seen Tai several times over the last 10yrs and in the beginning it was just massage and it was awesome.  Lately though we've definitely transitioned to a pure escort sessions but I'm not so excited about those anymore.  I think there's just no more excitement so I haven seen him since January 

CB is ChaturBate.  
Dang, I thought this thread would be about peeking through a GH seeing a great set of abs over a nicely hung bone just before he slides it through. 

Dude, whatever you do, don't use the word "imported."

...as. well as his enticing and mighty alluring photographs and vids in two of the forums, one being "Fetish."

Thank you for noticing it.

I miss @jjkrkwood’s witty repartee!

I am also unsure of this statement. African subsaharian countries are dominated by homophobic legislation, and homophobic cultures foster by the local brace of Catholicism and many Christian churches. Evangelicals are a disgrace for humanity. Only South Africa, I think, is an oasis of gay friendly legislation. At least that is what the adult entertainer who Rhyheim flew from Johanesburgo told me.
