Annoying gay men

I own this thread.

Instagays

at my gym there is a guy i think 49/50 who i overheard talking to one one of his woman friends, how he has to get some content for his website..

cut to a short time, later i see him in the locker room taking photos of himself with a stringy muscle tank top and then without....

he's in decent shape for his age, (a bit too many tattoos for my personal taste) but hardly one would think "worthy" of having a website dedicated to his body and have followers as well?... probably weighs at most 200 pounds tops....walks around non stop with the "weight belt" on even when he's NOT doing any heavy lifting of any exercise requiring assistance like a weight belt? ..just think it's kind of sad, but hey, whatever floats his boat,no harm no foul..

R3 - I understand. I just cringe when I see guys like this that live in the gym (I’m there once a week as a diversion)

Omg! There’s this guy on Instagram, Clapton Paterson. Waited till his kids were grown, then divorced his wife, retired from his corporate attorney job in NYC, packed on big muscles and now spends his life posting pictures of himself in his underwear etc. he’s well into his 60’s. He looks damn good but he is making a fool out of himself posting such pics. It’s ok I guess if you are 25, but once you hit 30 or so you just look a fool posing like this. And by the way, the years do show. The muscle doesn’t hide the weathered, slightly sagging skin or the couple of pounds on his gut that are never doing to go away.

I don't mind any of those types. The only ones I dislike are the ones who flail around and bound into the room, always having to make an entrance, always desperate for attention.

Clayton Paterson

Millennial gays and their shitty food pictures.

Ugh, OP, you left out the under 30 gays shrieking their endless tranny complaint issues, and how all the "cis" men on Grinder are racist because...well, something, and that the body shaming has to end and that they're HIV advocates (mainly by having seroconverted by age twenty-six), and that U=U, and "quit SHAMING me by wearing a condom!!!

Yeah, those annoying gay men!

I voted Political Gays.. But I wished I could have voted Vivian Vance.

R7 you are right. He's got a great body, but all those posts - how embarrassing to be so desperate for attention.

Or the Closeted Gay....

Like David Muir.

How do some of those muscle eldergays get such leathery skin? Too much sun?

Pop diva gays rushing to be the first to post the latest single "drop" from TayTay or Dua Lipa.

Anyone -- gay, straight, whatever -- who positions their life for social media pic posting. The constant thirst for affirmation from strangers points to core inner confidence issues.

Republican gays.

R13. Yes. Too much sun. Plus they reached an age where their skin loses some of its natural elasticity.

Open-relationship gays who get all pissy when you won't fuck around with them because somehow that's passing judgment on their relationship

Anyone who wears Andrew Christian underwear is a dumb bitch.

"Aspirational" gays with lots of status symbols in their posts. They make sure every label on their body is either visible or is tagged. Will go to exclusive, pricey clubs & take selfies with the club's signage in the shot. They have to make sure you KNOW how much money all this costs.

Totally agree with R18.

Don't use me (or others) because you have a boring sex life and are too gutless/spineless to do anything about it.

Why isn’t there an option for the over 50 gays that still think making catty remarks to younger gays nonstop is funny and frequently reference the Golden Girls?

OP is starting division threads.

None of the above because, honestly, who gives a shit? If there's an individual you don't like, it's trivially easy to move on and ignore them, whether online or IRL. Life's too short to waste your time. And I say this as an undoubtedly quite annoying "political gay."

Where's the option for Trump loving gays, like OP?

Based on this very narrow distillation of gay "types", I would have to vote for all 3 as "annoying gay men".

Thankfully, in real life we are far more diverse and vibrant than the 3 choices above.

Is this the latest installment of DL fav Sad Old Gays?

The Right Wing closeted muscle gays that have a Fans Only account or down low want you to buy their underwear.

I don’t like the gay gym life. It’s unhealthy. We lose too many gay men to that shit.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with going to the gym OR taking hundreds of shirtless selfies!

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

The Political Gay who constantly posts right-wing propaganda and denigrates liberals on Datalounge.

I thinks it can make a community like itself, but it's hated by everyone else.

I was a proud 20-something bodybuilder and liked going shirtless and showing my body off. That was 40 years ago. When I see a built man who looks over 55 years old wearing a string tank which cannot cover his nipples, and his muscles are sliding down his body due to unavoidable age, I am repulsed.

You have to accept the inevitable.

[quote]and his muscles are sliding down his body due to unavoidable age...

Ohmygawd. This. Lol.

Data Lounge hates any of the following gays ---> successful, middle class income or above, good looking, in shape, made correct choices in life, has an Insta account, on Prep and having lots of fun sex, conservative voter, but mostly they hate themselves.

DataLounge hates bores, r35.

You best be off!

There is nothing grosser than seeing some older guy with a hot chest ,then when you rub or touch it you can feel the skin sliding all around like a deboned chicken !

I don't "hate" other gay men of any pitiable type, unless the asshole OP is one, in which I detest his type.

And if the OP is a biological, rather than an ethical, cunt, I detest that type, too.

Not long after Scruff started including links to people’s Instagram profiles I found myself chatting to this really attractive guy. Exactly my physical type and, from our back and forth messages, seemed my mental/emotional type too. Lived just nearby. I’d seen him swimming at my local pool. Hot.

Then I checked out his Instagram - I couldn’t begin to estimate the number of selfies. I scrolled through a whole lot of screens looking for a picture of something other than him, and there were NONE. I was hoping for another human being, maybe a nice sunset, a fucking kale salad - anything! But there was nothing. Twice or three times per day, over 2,000 posts.

Nothing more off-putting. He approached me in the real world not long after and if I hadn’t seen the full Instahorror I would have been right up to getting together in some form but I’d never seen that level of narcissism before. Major red light for me. I declined his overtures.

No loss for him, of course, I realise that, and he has more than 15k followers, which is the currency in a world like his. But a hot, apparently intelligent mid-forties man repeatedly thirstily pouting and smiling at his own fucking phone like a thirteen year old Anglican private schoolgirl? So ridiculous.

Who was the guy who had his birthday party in Venice or something with like 50 white guys and a tiered group pic?

That guy.

I don't like the drag queens. Too much drama. Too shallow.

R39 - and why are those 15K persons following him... ? Please some 20+ year old speak up and explain the raison d'être of this circle of narcissism between the person who posts those endless selfies - and those 15K followers...

How about anybody with an Instagram… Gay or straight. Social media for that matter. How about working on yourself instead of constantly seeking approval from the outside world.

Whatever type thinks they're gay because they're a stereotype versus a normal non-archetype who is a guy who just happens to like guys.

That gay in that other thread who typed that he "look(s) down with pity" on his single friends because, well, they're single. He's my nominee for Most Annoying Gay Man.

R39 very nicely written.

I despise gay men pretending to be happy when they’re really just miserable, old bitter queens whose best years are behind them.

David Muir.

Almost 50 and scared to admit he’s gay.

Sadly, my most despised type of gay man is everywhere, including here, on Datalounge. This is the (usually eldergay) type who has felt marginalised all his life and feels the strong need to claw back some of the dignity, status and male privilege he feels is owed to him.

As a result, he does what every other marginalised person does - lashes out viciously at other marginalised groups. Transsexuals, women, people of different races, you name it. He is their lord and he despises them as vocally and toxicly as he can.

At the same time, he worships and grovels to any straight male, and the more homophobic, evil and abusive he is, the better. Gay basher? Hot! Inmate? Even better! Murderer of his wife and small children? Practically God.

This is the saddest type of gay and I see more of them every year. I don't know what this says about us.

No, r1, *I* own this thread.

Ugh, there's nothing worse than other bottoms.

R50 - oh my god you just described me to a “t.” I truly never realized (or cared) why I am so viscous and stand in judgment of the “marginalized” groups you mention. Still, knowing all of this and being confronted with it, I fully intend to behave the exact same way I always have. It’s one of my few joys.

[block]I am so viscous[/block]

Oh, dear!

(unless you really ARE made of cold molasses, in which case I retract my "Oh dear!".)

... and there's NOTHING more annoying than an "Oh, dear!" queen who uses incorrect tags.

I hereby "Oh, dear!" myself.

R55 - thank you for calling yourself out, before I could get to it. It is indeed rare for a DLer to admit fault. I may actually have been friends with you if this was real life.

Calling itself out doesn't make a shit less shittier.

Yeah, well I still pass for 40 when I'm wearing my burka and tinted ski mask.

[quote]or the couple of pounds on his gut that are never doing to go away.

Oh, honey ---little Miss Perfect.

But seriously though... Mrs Dan Savage epitomizes *all three* of those annoying traits.

Kind of a toss-up, but if you put a gun to my head and said "you have to pick one" I'd go with the society ones because there's zero redeeming value.

At least the gym gays are staying healthy (though at what cost to their long-term health given the steroids) and the political ones are at least thinking, even if that thinking is in lockstep with what their friends are thinking...

OP, a homopbobic queer-baiter, is what annoys me the most.
