Wrestler Curdin Orlik Comes Out as Gay, Makes Swiss History

Nice looking. Odd that he's a wrestler yet no shirtless pics.

Wooof!

R1 He is a folk or Swiss 'Schwingen' wrestler. They actually dress up in dress shirts with pants that have belt loops. The sport is to pick each other up by the beltloops and drop them in piles of sawdust and pin their shoulders to the ground. I wouldn't call it a professional sport. They do it as festivals and there is a tournament once every three years.

I wonder if he'll end up doing porn.

Why do closeted men [italic] still [/italic] do this?

[Quote] Orlik then fell in love with a woman whom he married and they had a son, now 2. Once he realized he needed to come out, Orlik told his wife and they separated but he still has a great relationship with her and his son.

It's bad enough being a closet case in this day and age. It's even worse to drag a woman and a child through your lie because you can't be honest with yourself. Men have to stop doing this shit.

How was he lying if he fell in love with her, R6? Either he's lying about having loved her or he's bisexual, not gay.

He reminds me of Gronk.

Let me give you some perspective, R6. The men don't even have to be "in the closet."

If Orlick's experiences on the apps were anything like mine and others', "didn't enjoy the experience" is a huge understatement. I put up with all sorts of depraved and egregiously shitty behavior. Getting stood up, being walked out on, guys lying about their relationship status, HIV status, meth, meth, meth, dirty asses, filthy apartments, MAGA fanatics, endless kinks.

Honestly, if you're at all inclined towards heterosexuality, you're going to be tempted to return to it, simply to avoid the searing, white-hot fuck-wittery that passes for gay dating these days. I am. I met a woman a couple weeks ago and we're texting. And I'm saying to myself, "Wow she's so nice and she likes me and she's so normal. Maybe I should ask her out." It's that easy, and it has nothing to do with the closet.

AWW He is adorable. I guarantee you he is a bottom who wants to get pounded and cuddle afterwards.

OMG! Looked exactly like someone I sucked.

He's just a big Swissie.

So hot! I was in a similar situation. I agree that the gay dating apps alone make me want to return to females.

He's fug, but at least the Swiss men have the cleanest foreskins in Europe.

He's cute.

[quote]pants that have belt loops

Couldn't they just switch to jockstraps?

R7 Because even he admitted that he was gay all along.

[Quote] I always knew that I was gay, for sure since I was 12.

To know this and then string a woman along like that is selfish. It's one thing if someone is bisexual (which I have reservations about, because at the end of the day, one side of the sexual spectrum is going to win out over the other). It's another to be gay the whole time and then put a woman through a relationship based on lies. It's not right and he shouldn't be commended for it, even if his wife has seemingly forgiven him.

R9 What you're describing is being bi. This dude didn't say he was bi, so that example isn't applicable here. Also, gay hookup culture sucks, but part of the problem is that most guys (especially guys here) have too high of standards to find a partner. They have to lower them if they wish find someone and be happy. Trying to find an Instagram hottie to date is not realistic.

He is adorable!

Making Swiss history, is like coming in 2nd place, in the 5th grade sackrace.

I've never been able to resist a bit of Swiss cheese for a snack.

Just another bottom/

He's really cute....but not the first competitive athlete to come out , not by a long shot

Who?! He doesn't even have his own Wikipedia page (at least not in English) and every loser has one of those these days. Let me know when some athlete, who's actually known beyond the borders of his home village, comes out.

That being said, he is super cute, gotta give him that at least.

He's adorbs. I want to roll around naked with him.

Are people really this confused about the fact that bisexuality and homosexuality are two distinct orientations? If this guy is falling in love with women then he's not gay, it really is that simple. Now, if this guy actually is gay and just lied, married and impregnated this woman for his own selfish reasons then that is really messed up.

If bisexuals like r9 and r13 find dating men too difficult then they have the option of expanding their dating pool to include women, but this isn't a viable option for gay men.

If you didn't like some (trashy) gay apps you must go back to women like r9... Are you guys 15?

It wasn't just trashy gay apps, R26. It was bars and non-trashy dating sites as well - they are the same people after all. There is no secret place where all the quality guys are hanging out. The most I could ever hope for was a blowjob, hopefully without the guy's parents in the next room.

There are no 'dating apps' for gay men. There are only sex apps. Stop trying to use them to find ltr's and you'll be fine.

Good for him but in a few weeks I won't be able to remember his name anyway.

Even to this day society gives gays a bad rep insisting that the "gay lifestyle" is depraved and shameful giving those, who struggle with their sexuality, an excuse to stay in the limbo of self denial and confusion (I ... I ... could never / never want to be like that!) when they are exposed to so called "extreme" display of gay and homoerotic expression.

Okay, now HE'S cute. For once, a thread on the DL about a guy who isn't a shallow narcissist, but just seems like a nice -- and hot -- guy.

[quote]but not the first competitive athlete to come out, not by a long shot

The article is somewhat unclear. There was presumably no editor around.

[quote]In Switzerland, wrestler Curdin Orlick has come out as gay in a new feature for The Magazine. The announcement makes him the first openly gay professional male athelete, in history, to do so.

It's not entirely clear whether "to do so" refers to coming out in Switzerland, in a Swiss (or any) publication, or what. Also, "the first openly gay professional (...)" "to come out" is poorly worden. If we was already "openly gay," he didn't need to come out. And the commas before and after "in history" are redundant. Sloppy!

*worded, sorry

33 replies and not one pun on Orlik?

Total BDF... And a sexy deep voice! He would be the perfect catch... If only he hadn't pretended to be straight and then married and knocked up some broad,

The journalist, a sports writer, can't seem to spell "athlete." He writes it as he presumably pronounces it, and no one has bothered to correct it.

[quote]Basically, the atheletes get dressed up

[quote]The announcement makes him the first openly gay professional male athelete

Are there any decent gay publications in North America?

[Quote] in a few weeks I won't be able to remember his name

You're quite generous with the time interval. Try more like a few days.

I wanna lick the inside of his foreskin after a wrestling match. Woof!

How often do you think he has an erection during a wrestling match? He must love the feeling of being overpowered by an alpha male. I won't be surprised if he threw a few matches in the past so he could feel degraded and humiliated by another man.

If he was poking around in a vagina, wouldn't he technically be bi?

I will hiss if y’all dis this Swiss Miss!

I bet he shoot a big load

R30's post borders on homophobia, but I'm gonna give it a pass. Here's why. I suspect that women do have a moderating effect on men's unbridled libidos. I'm the dater at R9. I'm pretty conservative and vanilla. It's actually difficult to find this among other men. I have been rejected for being boring, because I wouldn't do the following: Engage in 3-and-more-ways; do meth or K; have public sex; engage in extreme quasi-sex acts and fetishes like fisting, penis pumping, bondage, S&M and toys including dildos as big as my forearm.

A lot of men out there are all trying to out-do each other with kinks and crazy behavior, and trying to find other men to do these things with. And to be clear, many of these men are married/partnered to women, women with whom they would never share their predilections. They are not out gay men. They are men who believe they can only get really crazy with other males. One guy told me, "I can't be full-time gay. I have to watch myself. I'd get so depraved, I'd probably kill myself or someone else." The question this raises is not "Why is gay life so depraved," but "Why are men so lacking in self control around other men?"

R44, mate, if you want to date women then go on ahead. There's no need to justify it by trying to paint all gay men as extremely kinky sex fiends.

[quote]It's not entirely clear whether "to do so" refers to coming out in Switzerland, in a Swiss (or any) publication, or what.

The article's subheading makes it fairly clear.

"He is the first openly gay professional athlete in the country."

Thanks for your permission, hon.

[quote] The question this raises is not "Why is gay life so depraved," but "Why are men so lacking in self control around other men?"

Toxic masculinity. The pressure of establishing a superior vs. inferior hierarchy ranking system everywhere they go. However, the good news is that it's slowly fading and more and more men give up this need to fight for the alpha / Queen Bee position wherever they go. Men, gay or straight or bi, become more comfortable with themselves, with their bodies and expressing emotions other than anger and frustration.

R3.....💤.....

You're right. Men behave like perfect gentlmen on apps towards women.

Those wrestlers look hot in their traditional outfits.

Hats off to the" gay men are so disgusting that I am now dating women" troll but you got to come up with a better schtick than gay apps are sinful and lead otherwise virtuous men like yourself into that bottomless pit of HOMOSEXUALITY. Just what every gal wants into a romantic life partner - a bitter middle aged gay man who views sex with women as the price to pay to free himself from his miserable life that he blames on sex obsessed gay men and their evil smartphones...

I’d like to orlik HIS curdin.
