mochi Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I already know about Grindr, and I'll most likely end up getting it if nothing else pans out (I'm slightly afraid to though cause I'm out of shape and all the guys on grindr tend to be egotistical and picky) so my question is, other than relying entirely on grindr....what other ways does a gay man now-a-days find friends/hook-ups/an actual boyfriend?

I don't think there's any specifically gay events until later in the year but I probably will risk my life attending Gay Pride this year just because at least if I die in an anti-gay attack trying to find love, at least I actually tried and Phhh, what good would contacting a polititian do me?

Well, for starters the local Democratic party will probably have an outreach float or booth at the pride event, so there ya go. If they don't, ask if you can set it up and run it. Also, Trump is not going to send out people to kill gay people, saying crazy things like that is off putting and hinders your efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skiles Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 There's a type for everybody in this community. As long as your profile picture on Grindr is an honest representation of you, you're bound to at LEAST get laid. Maybe you'll even find a guy on there who digs you for you. Although I don't necessarily think of Grindr as a place where real human connections are made, beyond the physical aspect. But hey... You'll get laid.

Bouvre Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Gay bars, college groups, county/town groups (even my small hometown county had one of those but they were mostly very old people, but youth involvement in those things had to start somewhere). It's a bit hard to say since I don't know the kind of area you're in. Even with what I can suggest, sometimes they're completely useless. For instance, I've mostly lived in towns that don't have gay bars, and my hometown had no resources for queer teens. I only really started dating once I got the fuck out of there.

You do need to fill out a FAFSA. I think you do need to be considered an "independent." I'm dependent on my parents' income, but there's some technicality where I'm considered an independent. I think it might be because I have a bachelor's degree, but I can't remember. Maybe there's other technicalities that apply to mochi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there's other technicalities that apply to mochi. how can you be dependent and independent at the same time? i didn't realize a bachelor's degree made you independent, i thought that was when you pay for over 50% (at least for single people) of your living expenses though my tax-fu is a bit weak in that area because i've never really had that problem where i had to flip flop between them. also doesn't that also only work on for credit classes? i don't think FAFSA helps you with non-credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't quite remember why I'm considered independent, but I THINK it is because I have a bachelor's degree. It might be something else, like my age or something, I can't remember. I'm pretty sure whether or not someone claims you as a dependent on their taxes is not necessarily going to be the same for the purposes of the FAFSA. What's wrong with taking credit classes?

No you didn't say that, but I thought that was the implication. What I'm trying to say is, the fact that you even brought that up made it sound like mochi taking non-credit classes if he goes to college was a done deal. If I read into that wrong, I apologize.

Here where I live, Portland, you would have no problem meeting like-minded people, going to regular events, joining different groups or clubs, etc. This city is quite gay-friendly, as are many other cities.
