Lots of hot guys in europe that are into me … not the same as home 🫨 why do American guys not like me? Sometimes I wonder if it’s because I come off too masculine or don’t dress gay. It’s just how I am. Maybe the guys here just want fun with a stereotypical american looking and acting man. Idk. It’s frustrating every time I come over here and have to come back to the US and be ostracized for not being an A lister in the scene, as a non scene guy who isn’t socially active.

Very true. I hold myself back I suppose. It’s primarily my career. Being a lawyer isn’t really portable in other countries, other than the other common law countries, but the process can take years and more school.

Trust me, it’s not because you “come off too masculine” lol

Ever thought maybe it’s because you’re not from there and they consider you fresh meat? That’s a common phenomenon.

If no one is accepting you back home in a country as diverse as the US then it’s perhaps time to look inward and ask yourself why?

By the way - the reverse also holds for me (German/Danish) whenever I go to the States for work. I also do feel like my mind opens up whenever I’m abroad, so maybe the attitude and mindset is contagious ;)

I know that it comes down to individual performance and other business factors. But still, could you all pls advise me so that i can know what to expect.

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine.

Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.
