My Uncle and His Boyfriend are Goals

They are so hot! 🔥👍🏽

Tard face x2!

Dominicans are hot

Goals? What the fuck does that mean in this instance?

#guncle

#instagay

R4, I was about to ask the same thing.

It means they are considered a success if they don't get lost on the bus ride home...

[quote] Goals? What the fuck does that mean in this instance?

#goals

Some of y'all are so old and lame

It's Instaho speak.

No it's millennial and gen Z speak

Same thing.

Naw playa

The bottom has serious gayface.

I don't belong on this thread. I have money... and soap.

Bottom?

If you dumb asses are really serious about the goal thing, it means that the poster wants (or AIMS) to achieve the "goal" of having such a relationship one day. SMH

#Goals

R13 scours the digital world for 'thinspiration'

Hopefully they'll teach their nephew how to speak properly.

HOW can anyone not know what goals mean?

Goals is often used to mean a dude has the physique you want to attain, but here, it's about the relationship

[quote] HOW can anyone not know what goals mean?

We fucking know what goals means. We just don't understand how men can literally be them.

R21 types tard

It's easy for these guys to be goals. You set one guy up and then set the other guy up about 25 feet away.

Anyway, yes we know, as used here it's braindead social media speak. It's like saying something is "everything."

One more example of the enduring retardation of today's younger people.

[quote] I swear you dumb racist bitches upset me

How is it racist to ask how a word is used in a context that is not familiar or used with a meaning that is not traditionally recognized? An example would be if someone started saying "I'm futuring" to mean passing through time or aging. It would leave many perplexed. Language is about shared meaning leading to communication and understanding.

"Goals" is also often used by straight-identified guys to let a hot dude know he thinks he is hot or has a hot physique.

"Everything" is a female or fem guy term. Goals is not

Yeah, it's DL speak.

Not datalounge, but the other DL

It can be a down low term, but not exclusively so

So much of Instagram male aesthetics behavior is down low or low key

[quote] So much of Instagram male aesthetics behavior is down low or low key

What does "low key" mean in this context?

Could it not be misconstrued that the poster's "goal" was to have a sexual tyst with his uncle and his uncle's boyfriend?

I see the obtuse troll has arrived

OMG. I think the Twitter post OP shared is encouraging. Then I had to F&F every other post. DL has really gone to the Deplorables.

[quote] Then I had to F&F every other post. DL has really gone to the Deplorables.

Gosh, it must be so difficult to be you with so many triggers surrounding you. Maybe you should buy a zoo... of Therapy Animals

Low key generally means doing or being something without being obvious or detectable. In this context, it's when a guy hits on or flirts with a dude but nobody but that guy can tell or detect it.

While I appreciate OP using the term in a complete sentence, it's more applicable usage as a superlative is as a single phrase:

Goals. (picture of a guy working out)

like:

Damn! (picture a guy showing his erect penis.)

The new monosyllabic spoken word culture of fragmenting standard English to accommodate the short attention span of social media are problematic for some, easier for others with limited vocabularies, whose syntax is less than memes with text.

That said, to quote a meme in the linked Twitter thread, "I want your sperm."

Social media is driving language and culture, including male sexuality

We have a real life nephew and uncle troll

How old is your Uncle?

R3 They are Jamaican, not Dominican.

Are they midgets?

Flags look Dominican

They were at a festival.

Dominican Day Parade

They look much more Dominican than Haitian

Is this in reference to their cocks looking like goal posts when side by side?

Thanks. Illiteracy, even when proud, can be so ambiguous.

Studs

Bad facial hair and a pool complexion? Such goals.

Poor complexion*

R50, you don't have to fit the stereotype of the nasty effeminate, man

Queens they're Dominians at Dominican pride in The Bronx

They strive to maintain their low key-ness by not touching each other or holding hands

Why is everyone filled with so much HATE? We should be supportive of our brothers and sisters

I'm supportive of the people in the photo but not of the semi-literate douchebro dolts in this thread.

It's the effeminate guys who are essentially real life drag queens making the nasty stereotypical comments. Part of their disorder is being vicious and negative. And bitter.

[quote] Why is everyone filled with so much HATE? We should be supportive of our brothers and sisters

I don't see hate on this thread. Where do you see it?

What do they actually do to be "role models"?

Don't you know, R59:

Being a masc bro is worthy of idol worship!

R59 Suck and fuck.

R60, I forgot. My mistake.

Masc bros, porn stars, rent boys, Instahoes. Or any combination of the above. Those are our gay role models in 2017.

Enjoy seeing a post like this one. We not only get to meet two guys in a relationship, but a number of us learned a new word. Whether the word "goal" is appropriate or we're still dealing with the baggage that it represents, but some of us (including me) now know something we didn't know before. Excellent! Do we need to discuss their nationality? No. Is their nationality important? Only to them. Would I like to see more couples of color pictured? I guess I do. But only to show that gay couples include all nationalities, races, religions, etc. R62 is wrong. Only a small percentage of gay men fit into the categories he or she lists. My gay role models are my friends who are comfortably out and home, school, and at work.

Dominicans

A very image! It's good/a goal to see more and more gay men of color being together...that's all,..Very nice!

Are they only "goals" because they're "of color"? White couple or mixed couples are not "goals"? What a racist CUNT. Be gone!

I wasn't aware "goals" had baggage, only that its use in this context is another example of how a neutral word has been rendered stupid by millennial Instahos.

Nice bro

Good god stop with the Dominican shit. It says clearly in one of the tweets/comments that they are JAMAICAN men at a Dominican festival.

[quote] doesn't anone read any more?

Apparently not when "goals" is being used in the manner the OP did.

They look pretty gay.

A silk scarf with athletic wear??

MARY!

OK, OK.

"My goal is to be like my uncle and his boyfriend some day."

Happy now?

They're pretty hot--obviously--but they look bitchy AF.

[quote] OK, OK. "My goal is to be like my uncle and his boyfriend some day." Happy now?

No. Start a new thread with that sentence as your topic, and that will assuage us. We don't care about their ethnicity, race or nationality. They are irrelevant. What we care about is proper grammar and usage.

Okay

They look good in the other pictures. This is what half of my friends look like.

R55, I agree but OP's post was not a good example because it shames men who don't qualify as "masculine". That being said, I bet when they open their mouths, purses fall out.

"Yassss, Bro! Goals!"

Bump

OP As soon as you say "masculine", you can fuck right the hell off. We don't need to do that bullshit.

They should definitely be celebrated as they are probably one of the three out gay Jamaican couples on planet Earth.

R76, Which half?

From Urban Distionalry: "goals targets you want to reach in relationships, life, etc. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are goals"

I learned two new words this week; dotard and goals.

They are a credit to their race!

Blake and Ryan are targets? Somebody call the FBI!

Not really that cute at all to me.

Use this thread. It's better and more appropriate in gay, cultural and grammatical terms. It treats the subject as individuals not as members of groups.

Hottt

Wut?

R81, haha, the half of my friends who, like me, come from Caribbean backgrounds. They're mainly Puerto Rican, Dominican, Jamaican, Cuban. I have many "out" Afro-Caribbean friends so I wish that myth would die off. The other half of my friends come from various backgrounds.

Jesus...how many times did OP post this same topic?? F+F the bastard!

I do not aspire to this bullshit. #notmygoals

I do. I want a hot buff Dominican bi papi.

[quote]Goals

You're a fucking retard.

Die.

"Low key" is the big buzzword now. It's all up in masc4masc profiles and personals.

My hot straight friend has a girlfriend, but he is always lowkey flirting with me, even in front of other dudes in the gym.

Love this

How do we even know they are gay much less a couple. They aren't touching or holding hands and I see absolutely no chemistry.

They look like a couple of batty boys to me!!!!

Sweet

where do they live the states or Jamaica?

[quote]"Everything" is a female or fem guy term. Goals is not

That's nonsense. "Goals" is constantly misused in that way by women and femmes.

Yeah r94. The whites discovered it 15 years late so pretty soon no one will use it anymore.

[quote]From Urban Distionalry

Oh dear.

Oh dear squared -- misspelling it, and using urban dictionary as a source at all.

Goooooooals! GOALS GOALS GOALS GOALS GOALS GOALS GOALS GOALS GOALS GOALS!

You guys are funny

Nice

The nephew was saying on his page that they're Jamaican, haven't there been attacks on gays over there? Are they living here in the US.

Nephew's IG page?

Sweetc

Yes!

Goals indeed bruh! Awesome.

What's with the capitalization? That's what was confusing....

Nice

I prefer to say that my uncle and his boyfriend are aspirations.

I mean...what kind of Goals wear Target sportswear and bandanas on their heads?

They're fine. Nothing extraordinary though. Billy Dee Williams (back in the day), now HE was extraordinary.

Their goals should be literacy, syntax and usage...

[quote] now HE was extraordinary.

But was he goals?

Hehe

sexy

These cunts again?

Dude on left is hot. Look at those biceps!

Role models do not have tragic tattoos.

What about mike Tyson?

What are “role models”?

Bump

Mmmm

Mine are midfielders.

Mine are anti-gravitons: they repel people and nobody seeks to emulate them.

Gen Z too

Update?

The couple

Valentine

WHat is their Instagram account?

Too cute

Haha. “Goals”.

I knew the tired, ancient ultrawhite population of DL would not understand what "goals" means.

It’s a very awkward construction. Once explained, it’s understood. However, it shouldn’t have to be explained. That’s why we have grammar and proper usage.
