Melania Avoiding Trump over Emerging Sex Scandal

I knew his orientation for a few months, didn’t know his age (only he was younger, always assumed he was in college). But you can think what you will, I can care less because I wouldn’t date a 17 year old. If the feeling was mutual after they turn 18, that’s an avenue worth exploring in my opinion. Unless it’s wrong for an 18 year old to go out with someone who is 27, even then I don’t care. Besides, I even indicated some interest in Kip in that post. As for lustful, I wouldn’t say that’s the case and that would be due sensory issues with light touching due to ASD (so not a strong desire for me). Only a desire to someday find a possible life partner, whom we can share some core interests together and ideally someone who loves to travel.
But hey, clearly my stupid comment was worth a reply.

Oh, did you nazi that coming?

a stupid comment which i guess is supposed to mean "did you not see that coming"
not worth responding to. sorry about that.
it's just a bit kind of weird that as soon as a 17 year old indicates he is gay you jump on it with a lustful mind.
think what you will, but i find it sick. you are 27. get real.
Not really. At all. Especially if said 17yo is a twink.
I'd date an 18yo if I was into him in every way.
But I've always been attracted to younger than myself.
Plus being ASD, I related to people 2/3 my age better due to emotional maturity levels - I figure that's a part of my natural gravitation to young 20 somethings.
Besides, it's equally the younger guy's decision. For some I'm not old enough - they want 40+ or 45+ etc.
Huge age gaps are extremely common in gay relationships, so much so that it's the subject of quite a few articles.
For those that are attracted that way, the old guy tends to like the young energetic hottie, and the younger guy likes the things an older guy has - stable career and finances, muscle, knows what he wants etc.
It's extremely common for their to be a 15+ year age gap in gay relationships - more so than straight, IMO.
You don't have to like it or be attracted to 18yo's, but there's nothing wrong, immoral, unethical, or illegal about it so *shrug* to each their own, live and let live. If you don't want to date an 18yo, then don't.
And get f*****g real like it isn't a common running (serious) joke amongst straight males waiting for sexy celebrity teen girls to turn 18. There's always been the types who lust after the barely legal crowd. You don't have to like it, but there are those types out there, too. Wow, I can't believe I even have to explain all of this to a grown man, but hey, I'll do my part to educate someone when I have a moment.

well i still find it sick. sorry about that.
i am sure you are a good man, but wanting to have intercourse with boy's anuses at the instant they are old enough just shows that that is all that matters to you.
i am just an old fashioned fool.

Exactly, as said I would only date someone who is 18+. So it’s between another adult and I, meaning our business and not yours... At this point, I’m not sure if your problem is age or you’re just a homophobe.

Even then, you are basically nagging me over 6 months (on something that I already said I would wait on and would obviously not happen due to being on opposite sides of the county). At this point, I’m not sure if your problem is age or you’re just a homophobe.
don't stress over what i said.
i expect to be warned by a moderator anyway.
no body takes any notice of me on this site. so don't go all defensive about what i said. i do not mean to cause you angst.

out of curiosity, what do they gotta have to date 'em?
I've dated some, had some fwbs, never a formal relationship though, ever.
For one, we'd both have to be attracted to each other.
Then it's just a whole package criteria kinda thing.. personality, interests, attitude, intelligence, goals/life stuff.. etc etc There are plenty of gay boys I'd hookup with but way fewer I'd consider dating. It's one thing for there to be physical attraction - that's pretty easy. But to actually like someone? That's rare. So many factors at play it's hard to put my finger on a short list, but ya, I just know when I really quite like someone and would date them/consider a relationship when I sense & feel it.

For me, I over all like someone who is opposite of myself (at least a little). As I believe opposites challenge each other and at worse, pick up each other’s weaknesses. I generally dated people who enjoyed theatre or into the arts in some way... I always had mad respect for someone who made a living doing something they loved and was content with making it work financially (even if it makes less then traditional routes, this shows me they can budget). While still having goals, both career and personal. Some form of intelligence and maturity; something I get the impression of with EzraS. But we need share a core interest or two, it could have be automotive or a anything really. The love for travel is a requirement and no desire for kids, as I want someone who will share the ultimate goal of early retirement and traveling to enjoy the world. So someone who is willing sacrifice now, for later is a huge factor for long term success for us to work out.
Of course there has to be some form physical attraction to each other, as ultimately that is the core for all relationships. So they have to easy on my eyes if I am going to be stuck with them on the yacht for weeks at a time; that’s a long time to look only at each other and no one else... For all I know, EzraS could like Pinhead and that would be a deal breaker or he me think I am hideous.

Such seriousness. I took it as just playful joking around. I'm not interested in people romantically. I did have a bf once but that was a nextdoor neighbor I knew for years.
For the most part, yes, I was just playfully joking around. But at the same time, you seem like someone who is at least worth enjoying a cup of coffee over dinner with. So if you are ever in Florida and want to see what all it has to offer outside of the tourist traps. Then hit me up, I would gladly show you around... No, I don’t think you like Pinhead if your ex looked like the figure skater.

Those of us who know you B9 know that you go a little overboard which includes the mods. Hence no action needed.
But do take care to think about newbies who may read your posts that are negatively impacted by what you say. A young teenager who is searching for his/her sexual identity shouldn't be exposed to this type of prejudice as it might impact on their self-esteem and tip them over in terms of depression/anxiety.

My take is "Meh."
I didn't read his post as something warranting moderator intervention. He didn't call me sick, he expressed his opinion that he finds it sick. I'm turned off by the thought of sexual acts with people I'm not attracted to, too, so, that's understandable.
As for the prejudice.. it's pretty commonplace and this example was pretty minor. I don't think it's likely to do much damage to anyone with an ounce of confidence in knowing what they like and don't like sexually. I think the post is more likely to garner lolz and eyerollz more than do any sort of damage. Also, it's a fantasy dreamworld that there's never going to be this sort of expressed opposition to what others are attracted to. We can't shelter every young gay kid from the existence of these opinions. At least this one is being intelligently discussed and if any young gay kid ever reads it they can get a well rounded education out of it. As Joe Rogan says "We can't nerf the world." Also, while some gay kids struggle with depression/anxiety (maybe more on this forum due to it's very nature) by & large it's been my experience that young gay guys are ever more tough and resilient. Being out at very young ages is a thing now. The crap so many have put up with makes them have a thicker skin than most people. They're not as fragile as you think.

Well let's hope so, and yes, you can't shelter kids from opinions on public forums anyway
In any case forum moderators haven't intervened on this thread despite 4 pgs of discussion that have nothing to do with the Trumps

Well then, let's just tie this discussion into Trump & Co. then.
Trump & Co.'s record on LGBT rights is dismal & getting worse. For the first time in years, American acceptance of LGBT people is on the decline. (as per a recent poll the Matthew Shepherd Foundation posted about on FB) Whether race, nationality, disability, sexual orientation etc etc Human Rights are a top down issue & the leadership of a nation helps shape public opinion. Things improved significantly under Obama, and they're on the decline under Trump. There are more LGBT suicides & murders now than in recent years - the worst measure of all of this; lives lost.
So, it's important that there be public discussion in black & white about sexual orientation and practice acceptance, or tolerance, when it comes to the potus & American people. If Trump's sex life is off limits and should be considered a non-issue (the only real issue is using campaign funds to influence the outcome of the election via hush money to Stormy) then equal respect ought to be paid to everyone's sex lives and discrimination against sexual orientations should be illegal/protected as it is in Canada and other civilized nations.

But that's not going to happen (at least for the foreseeable future)
To illustrate here in Australia a number of anti-bullying education programs have been attacked by parents and conservative politicians because they educate children about homosexuality and transexuality
Media depiction of homosexuality is still a massive taboo in Australia. In conservative christian America it would be much worse...
