| There are now something like 30 dispensaries in Vancouver & growing. 8) They all operate in a legal grey area and in general the cops have not been raiding them. Many of them have opened up shop in the last several months. There will be more and more, too. It's becoming more and more normalized ... |

It's become fairly common knowledge now, so more straight guys have been going to gay bars to hit on straight girls. Once, while I... |

| why is the "men seeking men" section mostly a bunch of gay-sex ads when its supposed to be for relationships? Looks almost the same as casual-encounters m4m. :? It's that way in my neck of the woods, too. I'd say, in general, it's because guys are guys.. and they're horny. Also, I guess it may appe... |

| If you've been using the same ad and title for a while, change it. Otherwise people get used to seeing the same thing and know who posted it and don't bother responding. If it's new and fresh, you might get different responses. The ones who are going to respond to that particular ad probably already... |

| Since most of us communicate better via text than in person, I highly recommend using an online dating site or posting a personal ad somewhere. It's really quite easy to post simple ad, wait for a response, email back and forth a few times & then arrange to meet someone somewhere sometime to do ... |

As in you don't know what sort of signals someone might give that they'd like to hop into bed with you?
Or literally no physical idea of how it's actually done?
If the latter, you might benefit from watching some porn. Seriously. |

Either I'm attracted to someone when we meet, or I'm not. As for making things physical, it's acting on that attraction tha... |

For you, the point of a date may be "do we want to f**k", but for many people, it is not. For many people, that's only one part of wha... |

| Thanks for this thread. :) It's a nice reminder that some friends w/ AS are simply averse to touch and don't mean anything personal at all by cringing or moving away from being touched. It's too easy to assume you've done something very wrong (or that someone is repulsed) with a very normal simple t... |
