The most boring gay couple you know?
Who is the most boring gay couple you know?
I think my boss and his husband take home the trophy. My boss is a lawyer at a big law firm in downtown Houston, his husband is a pediatric neurooncologist. They live in the prestigious River Oaks neighborhood. The neurooncologist emigrated from China to come to America. My boss is a blonde white boy. Neither of them went to "name brand schools," instead they worked very hard for their success.
The neurooncologist is a vegetarian and the lawyer is a pescatarian. They aren't fans of nightclubs or the "gay scene." They'd rather go to a quiet bistro and have deep discussions. The only movies they watch are adaptations of the books they read, with a few exceptions.
These guys are in their late thirties/early forties.

They are into open relationships and talk incessantly about their tricks. You’d be surprised at how tiresome it gets listening to after a while.

I would imagine you are equally tiresome, particularly if you use "lol" at your age.

Boring people to me are people who never do anything but whatever everybody is doing at the moment.

R3 I care because I'm envious I guess. I'm just a fat frau who will never be as successful or smart as them. I do know the oncologist parents were plumb farmers in China and the lawyers parents were a nurse and a mechanic. Anyone can be successful in America!

OP, you sound obsessed with these people. You mentioned them in a “share your terrible dinner party stories” thread several times. You mentioned them enough that I immediately remember your stupid stories about them. Now this? Wtf?

My mother-in-law has been comparing me and my husband to her GBF friends for 20 years. Nothing we do ever stacks up to the fabulousness of her southern gay friends. Regardless of her feelings towards these people, my husband and I find them insufferable--big gay wedding, accessory child through a surrogate, bragging up the ass. Now they're divorcing and falling apart, we are still going strong.

I'm boring. I have no talent. I make no contribution to society. But I do no harm. I'm pretty happy. Im not unhappy. I don't give joy to other people. I don't give them grief either. Most people at work don't even know I exist. Sometimes relatives remember to invite me for Christmas. No one will remember me after I'm gone. I may not even have people come to my funeral. I lead my best life possible.

Thanks for posting, [R21]. I enjoyed reading that! And you're so right. In the end it tends to be the quiet ones who fly under the radar who last the longest and are the happiest.

I woman I dated briefly in college and her partner. They got together their sophomore year and have been together every since, for 20 years. Married in their early 20s, right after graduating, both went to graduate school in my ex's city, then they both moved to her wife's city and had kids with a sperm donor a few years later. They're close to their families, attend gay affirming churches, and are nice pillars of the community. They're more wholesome and conventional than most straight couples I know.

You sound immature and ignorant OP. Just because someone doesn't meet your standard of fun doesn't necessarily make them boring. They sound like a private, sophisticated couple.

I’m in Boston, there’s lots of them.
I did a photoshoot last Sunday and a Boston transplant basically told me you can only be gay in Boston if you act as straight as possible.
And this is true. A lot of gay Boston people are kind of like Pete Buttigeg and his silly husband.

Wait, are these the same people who your drunk friend offended with "chink" at a dinner party? The ones who you said always invite you and who offered you invaluable financial advice? Wow, I hope they learn what a shitty friend you are, dissing them all over the DL. And yeah, you do seem a bit obsessed with them.

OP has also posted about them on this thread "Met a Chinese surgeon married to an American Lawyer" in which the couple in question were relative strangers to him
[quote] I met a very nice gay couple this weekend. Both were 30ish. One was a Chinese surgeon. The other was an American big firm lawyer. Both were pretty quiet and low-key. I got the impression they were out of touch with most of society and made too much money. Anyways, I got to talking and asked them bout the cultural differences. The surgeon smiled and said "well, he was not like most Americas." That is a big slap in the face to Americans lol
Note the telltale "lol"
Troll? Bored Eldergay?

Not to mention that there is nothing particularly gay about a lake house in VT.

He was probably friends with them and then screwed things up. After my first break up, I obsessively thought about my ex. He was tall, dark, handsome, goofy, intelligent, rich, about to go into med school. It was my fault, I screwed up an amazing relationship with an fucking prince. I have obsessed over him and those feelings of regret on and off for the past two years. My close friends and therapist got tired of hearing about it a month or so after the break up, so it has been hard for me. Other than pysch meds, I just get told to move on and stop thinking about it. I've tried getting underneath other guys to forget it, but that hasn't worked. Dating hasn't worked either. Anyways the loneliness doesn't keep me from sleeping, it's the regret and self hatred for screwing up.
