I'm very excited about finding this picture. It's from a themed dress up day my Senior year of high school. Mismatch day I believe. And I had great hair back then! Loves it! So I promise not every post is going to be a whiny bitch fest about Aiden. (It's kinda a theme in my life the last three weeks, though I've finally adjusted to having a big bed.)
So to not talk about Aiden, I figured we could talk about boys. Like new boys... Where do you go to make a new circle of friends, or just to meet guys in general? I'm not really in the market for anything serious at the moment, since I meant what I said and I said what I meant about Aiden... But really... I just really don't know where one goes to meet people. I mean duh, to the internet... The usual trolling spots... (Adam4Adam, Manhunt, etc...) But it seems that is such a dead end. It is alway the same guys having the same conversations only talking to the same people all the time.
I've noticed in our community we base so much of our friendships and who is on our level based on appearances. (I can't say I'm innocent of this since I hang out with porn stars and beautiful people.) But what do you do when you're not Mason Wyler or Aiden Ash? What do you do when you're plain old Logan, a boy who isn't a gym bunny and his genetics are screaming "Age damn it!" Do we throw up our flag and go patrol the bathhouses for our next fuck and cling to any relationship that we can get since we're not the in crowd? By no means do I find myself a social reject. I'd like to think I'm a pretty fun guy, who does a pretty damn good job at keeping people happy and making them smile. But what do you do when you want to break out of the burbs and immerse yourself in your people. (That's right, I call the gays my people.) I mean besides the obvious of moving to the heart of the gayborhood.... (Which I hope to do upon graduation.) I know being a guy who lives at home by choice is probably a strike against me. (But hey, theses are the final years, maybe months, my family will all live together, eat together, laugh together.... and they're pretty damn wonderful.) Also, no one likes to come to the burbs to hangout but I don't mind going to the city, I kinda love it. But, as much as I like to consider myself an urban gay guy, I have no idea how to go about meeting guys that don't know my cock size before meeting me.... Plus I'm not photogenic so in a cyber community that bases who we talk to on a good photo that could fuck a guy!
And That's Just Where I Am Right Now....

Ahhh I totally know what you mean. I think it must be the same for guys like us, y'know? Your situation sounds a lot like mine - and I'm from Australia. Funny hey? I think maybe the aim is just to get out and be yourself and meet people IRL and developing a friendship face to face first instead of online. At least the conversation wouldn't be like every other conversation you have with homos online, and, cock size may not even come up in conversation.
