A guy recently asked the users of the r/askgaybros subbreddit to name the “most typical gay teen thing” they ever did. And bro, did the commenters deliver relatable responses, even if they weren’t so “typical.” Here are some highlights from the thread, edited for clarity. “Mine was being obsessed with Glee and having a massive crush on my straight best friend, the object of my virginal fantasies.” “Having a huge number of girl friends and having my guy friends call me...

Three things in this life are certain: death, taxes, and male pattern baldness. And in case Dwayne Johnson and Boris Kodjoe aren’t proof enough that baldness is sexy, gay and bi Reddit users have been giving their takes. “I’m 25, and my crown is beginning to thin,” a Redditor wrote in a recent thread. “It’s happening very slowly for me, so I’m adjusting. … I know so many guys with little hair or bald on their head who are hot...

For as long as we live in a heteronormative world, gays will feel anxious about coming out of the closet. And for as long as gays feel anxious about coming out, many will feel they didn’t “live out their youth properly,” as Reddit users recently discussed on the r/askgaybros subreddit. “I regret not coming out sooner because I feel like I lived a fake life up to this point,” one wrote. “Yes, almost daily, I have a sense of ‘Man, I...

Love it or hate it, it’s hard to imagine the gay community today without Grindr. But when you’re in a relationship, isn’t it time to close the app? Or at least… do it if you SAID you’ll do it? Well, that’s no happened in this case.Also See: “I Catfished My Boyfriend On Grindr To See If He’ll Cheat On Me”This all started for this guy on Reddit, a month ago, when he caught his boyfriend on Grindr.

A reformed homophobe told all of Reddit how a coworker turned him into a card-carrying gay ally, and commenters are raving about the “amazing,” “wonderful,” and “beautiful” story. The user started off by confessing that he was a “vocal and hateful gay basher” in his teen years. “I didn’t know just how many of my close friends were gay because, let’s face it, people who think they’re smart tend to be somewhat out of touch until life gives them an...

Being catfished — i.e. being duped by someone who uses a fake online persona — is typically a frustrating experience. Unless, of course, you’re the lucky Reddit user who said the guy who catfished him “was even better looking than the fake pics he sent.” “Happened about two weeks ago,” the Redditor wrote. “It was really odd. The guy was not the same guy in the photo at all, but he was more muscular and looked like a f*cking model....

Feeling Grindr fatigue? Has Tinder left you swiped out? Are you missing all of OKCupid’s arrows? Take heart in the dating app success stories gay guys recently shared on Reddit. “Took a while but I met my current on Grindr,” one commenter wrote. “We have been together nearly 6 years now. When we met, I was explicit I was taking time away from dating and hookups but was happy for friends. We were official 2 months later.” Or take this...

We all know by now that bisexuality is a legit orientation and not just a gateway to being gay, but it’s also true that sexuality isn’t necessarily static and that some people slide around on the Kinsey scale. So after one bisexual Reddit user realized he hadn’t been crushing on women lately, he started wondering if he’s experiencing a “bi-cycle” or if he needs to rethink his identity. “So basically I’ve been using the label bisexual for just under a...

Somewhere along the way, the word “gay” went from meaning “lighthearted” and/or “homosexual” to also meaning “foolish, stupid, or unimpressive,” as the Oxford Dictionaries attest. And that third meaning really chafes one Reddit user, who asked for advice about “handling friends who constantly say the word ‘gay’ in the wrong way.” This Redditor has a friend who uses gay as a pejorative on the regular: “Died in call of duty? Gay. Didn’t get the day off work? Gay. Don’t like...

Though we could (and should) be proud of our sexualities and gender identities year-round, another pride month has come and gone. And all over the Internet, companies and brands are replacing their rainbow-hued logos with their usual, less flamboyant emblems. Should we be irritated that companies only show off LGBTQ pride for 30 days of the year? On Reddit user doesn’t think so. “Please stop complaining about companies taking down their pride logos after June 30,” that user wrote. “It’s so...

One Redditor says he’s “in a pickle” now that the wife of his longtime friend-with-benefits has asked him to quit getting down and dirty with her husband. The Redditor explains that he’s been hooking up with his best friend for around 12 years, and it all started when his friend complained that his wife wouldn’t entertain the idea of giving up oral sex. “As any good, gay friend would do, I offered to step in,” the Redditor writes. “Selfishly, of...

It’s a question many get asked at one point or another, usually by people who can’t see past gender norms: “Which one of you is the man, and which one of you is the woman?” But how should one respond? On Reddit, commenters had tons of ideas. “Say neither and then ask them equally intrusive questions about their relationship,” said one. Another provided an example that kind of script-flipping: “How many times does she fake her orgasms with you?” One Reddit...

With gay/straight/bi labels disappearing all around us, it’s sometimes easy to forget that when you’re having sex with a “straight” friend, and he’s married – there’s also an actual wife on the other side.

Some guys are sent “into gay fabulosity” when a certain song comes on. Others just let their queer flag fly when their gaydar pings. The latter phenomenon is the subject of a recent Reddit thread titled, “Does anyone else turn their ‘gayness’ up to 11 when they see another guy that might be gay?” “The other day at the store, I saw this guy who dressed and walked pretty ‘gay,’ and as a result, when I walked by him, I started...
