This bowl’s been quiet for a minute, so let’s do a check in.

How is everyone feeling going into the summer? Any wins/losses from the past few months? Let’s talk about jobs, dating, life.

I’m thrilled for the next few months; currently working on my fitness goals and reaching the summer cut.

Work has been intense but have no choice but to stay put for now given this market, plan to prep for interviews in the fall.

Still single but dating. Had a two month thing recently that I thought could last, but it ended with him ghosting me out of the blue one day.

Like my job of 13 years but there's always possible looming trouble. Coming up on one year with my Beau (long distance) and all signs point to success. Family is healthy. Steady w 3+ years of sobriety and AA. Late 30s are feeling good.

In my case, talk to a wide range of guys for years as pen pals all over the globe and when the opportunity to meet occurs, take the opportunity.

Recently got a decent raise at my job, and am going to start going to the gym soon as I want to reach my goal of 220 lbs of muscle (currently at 210).

Single, but not actively looking as I have to tie a few things up financial wise.

Overall, I'm doing great!

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

My friend and I (both Asian and gay) were seating at the cafe on the 2nd floor of Saks Fifth Ave today waiting for our table for the restaurant on the 9th floor. A lady came and asked where are we from, and “why are you two men in this mall? This is for female only”. I said this mall sells products for all genders. She said she has walked all floors and never saw a thing for men. Then she threw curse at me. I stood up and asked her to repeat what she said. She pulled her phone and called 911

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)
