Very embarrassing post to make - but I have recently accepted that I’m gay and want to begin a bit of sexual exploration. For context, I’m 30M, and a virgin (lot of trauma and healing done in the last few years, from body dysmorphia to internalized homophobia). Finally feel ready to explore the world.

My question is: how can I have safe sex / protect myself? Are there blogs/websites with tips I can explore?

I’m in consulting, and I want to date! 36M in DC - Any single 🐠 out there?!

Christkindle market any F fishes? 25 M

I need serious advice, please! Am I wasting my time messaging a guy I matched with online that lives on the opposite coast? Background: we message each other at least 1-2 times everyday for the last FIVE months but never over a phone call. He actually doesn't even have my number. We message on IG. He's a full-time student and full time employee so busy guy. But am I wasting my time and emotions with this guy??

I had higher expectations for this bowl. You’re in your 30’s/40’s and looking for a hookup? 😒

Date night ideas? I'm in the Logan area so anything around it is fine. Obviously won't be going to the loop with the chaos going on.

Thanks in advanced!

Do you feel like this era has lost touch with romance? Like we meet online, live tweet our dates, and then keep swiping on other people. Do you feel like we're missing out on something?

Missed declaring investments in company portal. Would this be a big deal?

Any advice on the best place to put funds I eventually plan to use for a backdoor Roth? Do I just put them in a traditional IRA every month and then roll it? Or do I put it somewhere else?

Anyone here with upcoming joining to EY? Any update or change to the start date given the mandatory WFH situation?

Yearly reviews are coming up. How should we handle conversations about salary when we feel we deserve a higher salary and are trying to grow with our company?

Has anyone considered joining a private social club (e.g., Union Club, City Club)? If so why are the pros you’ve found and if you considered and decided against, why?

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.

Do you hide your knowledge of hip hop from your colleagues?

Anybody here working at BCIT?

So the National Consumer Helpline really works.
I had filed a complaint against Goibibo, who delayed my flight cancellation request until 1 day before departure hence the airline charged a higher cancellation amount.

A friend of mine introduced me to the portal when I filed a complaint explaining the matter in detail, uploading Twitter DM screenshots, where the company was clearly denying responsibilities on the above.

Took 2 months but today my refund was initiated by Goibibo.

My bf and I have been having the same argument for weeks now so he said he needed space (and I understand why) But he said let’s talk after Christmas… and a month feels long to me. I felt like two weeks is enough time to gather your thoughts. Can others share their experiences? Also it feels unfair for me to have to wait for his text? I don’t know what is best for me too.

Anyone else hate when there is a change in the routine because you know how hard it is for your kids? Book fair, spring concert, spring concert rehearsal & picture day this week 😭

Any thoughts on changing fields of law? I have been actively networking and trying to get a position with an admiralty and maritime law firm. This is a niche field of law and it has been really difficult to break into (almost no job postings and everyone knows each other)any suggestions?

I feel like this happens a lot these days with all the job movement- but just found out a new hire is making more than me after I’ve been a top performer on my team at the company for a year+. How would you react?

Hi all, apart from TCS which other company is better for work life balance and job security??

What are your favourite ways of accusing opposing counsel or the other side of dishonestly? Favourite one this week is “I struggle to reconcile [state of affairs] with X’s previous statement under oath which [mischaracterisation of X’s previous statement implying contradiction].”

I should have just got on PREP..

So met a gay guy through some straight mutual friends and we’ve been hanging out (group settings; I invite him to come hang out). I’m getting a lot of mixed signals from him but also I’m fine if nothing comes out of it. But it’s torture lol. Should I ask him what’s up or keep it chill? Don’t want to make things weird bcuz he’s fun to hang out with but also he’s tall, in shape, good looking, and has his shit together. We’re both pretty inexperienced with guys so I’m at a loss at what to do.

What's the discord link again?

In LA tonight. Anything to do in LA? Please recommend. I appreciate it!

Anyone in Mexico City?

Deloitte 🌈🐠 - raise your hand if you are going to DU this week!

Gays bottom, how do you clean yourself "down there". This year I started to bottom more. I spent the last 5 years being 99% top, so I don't know how to prepare myself. How much water is too much? And so many other questions...Any other technique?

Who’s going to Puerto Vallarta for holidays and NYE?

1- If you got the 🐒🦠 vaccine I am happy for you, but remember that most people don’t have access to it right now, so when you post your selfies on Instagram it makes people feel bad; 2- people with husbands/in a relationship, it would be helpful if you could wait to get your vaccines. Some of us are single/dating. I just saw some “hubbies” on social media who posted they got vaccinated and doesn’t seem right to me. Kthxbye.

I hate the world “guncle.” It makes me sick to my stomach. Someone called me one today - I have 8 nephews / nieces. I do not want to be called a guncle. Curious if anyone else dislikes this term?

Finally got on the HER app because I’m determined to have a sweet romantic Valentine’s Day this year. Anybody got words of encouragement?

Do you guys think there’s going to be more or less eligible bachelors once we get out of this pandemic? Or is everyone going to be in LTR 😂
