Member's Testimonials On GaySpeak

[gavjg]

I found it on Google.
I joined yesterday so I am still a newbie to this forum, And I am so glad I did find it.

I found it on Bing Search, one of those odd "I need to search for this" hunches that I've learned to listen to. For whatever reason, fate, my guides, angels, whatever knew I needed to join the site.

I've gained a lot being here, good advice (even if it isn't always directed at me) a few really cool friends and, I hope I've at least made a few of you smile or, given you a new perspective on a few things.

Aww Blue!! You always have the best advice when I need it and I count you as one of my best friends on here!

I just wanted to say thank you to GaySpeak. When I first looked for a messageboard I looked for a lesbian one and I almost joined one instead of coming here. For some strange reason the lesbian board I almost joined said my hotmail was banned from their site which was strange as I'd never heard of them before (maybe it was just a glitch?). So I searched a little more and found GaySpeak and this is the first time in MANY years that I've found myself participating on a board as much as I have (granted, part of that is I have so much more time and I'm separated from my regular friends and acquaintances). And now I'm glad that I failed to join that lesbian board. mile:

At first I was a little distressed that there weren't more women on GS but I adjusted and I'm finding all you men so very interesting and fascinating. Granted, it's a little confusing sometimes like it seems to me that men use "top" and "bottom" a little different from how lesbians do, for example, and I often wonder if I'm intruding when I see the threads on guy sex where a guy perspective is generally sought.

My experience with gay and bi men has been pretty limited. I knew a few when I was a 15-year-old runaway before I identified as anything, and I liked (and fooled around with) a bisexual boy when we were both 17. But after that I never got close to any other gay men.

I didn't go to gay and lesbian bars and clubs much save when I was dating & living with a stud who loved going. Sometimes it was a place where gay men and lesbians both mixed together (and sometimes only one certain days of the week) and other times it was strictly for lesbian and bi women. She was competitive and jealous so it was hard for me to talk to anyone without her acting like a rooster, something that annoyed me, and she would even do it with gay guys (I guess she figured they might be bi). I do have some fond memories of gay men I met back then but I never really had the chance to get that close to any because of her behavior and now I see I was really missing out. I'm glad to have met so many gay and bi men here on GaySpeak. mile:

I think I speak for most of us here if I say that we are also glad that you joined. You have tons of good stuff to share and your anger, gumption, philosophy, empathy are all useful to us, as another human being. A female perspective can be jolly useful.

I don't know very many GLBT people outside of the internet, being the shy and introverted person I am.

I found Gayspeak through a Google search. I must say this is easily one of the best websites I have ever visited period, gay-related or otherwise.

How often can one say they belong to a site completely filled with kind, understanding mature people ready to offer advice, comfort, or general fun at a moment's notice? How often can one say that they belong to a site where fights and flame-wars and trolls hardly, if at all exist?

I have made some very wonderful friends here, whom I hope to meet in person some day. I have been able to gain advice on troubles in my own life, and hopefully have been able to soothe or console others with my own thoughts and perspectives.

What more can I say except I love being a member here, and I would like to continue to be a part of all your lives here for as long as you would allow me to :redface: Bless you all.

my turn, I was apart of another discussion forum which was a great forum, nice loving people like here, but it wasn't a lot going on in the LGBT section (almost all of the threads were "is my boyfriend gay" or "is my friend gay"). so I searched for a gay forum and found this site where I could connect with more LGBT people. plus the other site was very strict and you guys have been a huge help with my depression .

i also found it googling "gay forum". I love the fact that it offers me a channel where i can release some of the pent-up feelings inside in what otherwise is a very "straight" lifestyle. I'm glad I've made important progresses since joining (i've told my mom and some of my friends) and I KNOW that I will continue to break new barriers - just one baby step at a time.

Frankly, gs has offered more than I could ask for. It kept me entertained too xD

Well I joined almost 2 years ago. I still have yet to be a super poster but i do read most of the threads and try to remain active. I feel at home on this website. Like i could just talk about anything on my mind and know I'd get some sort of help if i need it. The people here are intelligent and resourceful. Not to mention experience in the gay life style which i am not. I seek their stories when i need a little heads up on the real world. An excellent website for people on the fence about coming out.

I've been single for about four years now. I honestly think there's something wrong with me. What's a guy to do to find someone?

I once thought that appearances didn't really matter that much nowadays. I bathe every day, brush my teeth, and am generally friendly. What is wrong? I'm just ranting here.

4 years? is that all?

Rant when you pass 7 years...but difference is I am comfortable single...you have to be before you can be in a long term relationship.

Hello guys ,

So i thought to open a new thread for testimonials for the new members to see. Write something about gayspeak. How did you find it, how long you use it, what you think of it ect. mile:

A friend of mine, Paul, suggested this site. IT takes me a while to feel at home
