Let’s be New York Gays

Link to the LA thread:

I spend most of my free time posting on DL where whether relevant to the OP or not I always mention that I live in the Lower Left Side, some Hipster part of Brooklyn or the Kitchen from Hell or whatever. If I live anywhere else other than Manhattan I usually say NYC so you think I live in Manhattan.

I’m the distain of Los Angeles despite the he fact that most of the NY gays would never survive West Hollywood gym culture

I'm the arrogance and entitlement that hides rampant insecurity.

I’m Fran Lebowitz. I’m having dinner with Martin Scorsese

R5 your towing the line, she’s a lesbian

R3 that’s very true, LA is another level. You have to become sex doll-adjacent

your towing the line

R8 *you’re

Get a life.

What is going on with Boston or Northern Virginia in comparison to NYC?

R10 what now?

[quote][R5] your towing the line, she’s a lesbian

[quote]Oh my fuckin dear

[quote]*you’re. Get a life.

Still not correct, r6/r8. The phrase is "TOEING the line", and it doesn't seem to mean what you think it does.

^^^sorry that's r6/r9

Yes, even ignoring the spelling mistake, I did not understand how he was using the phrase. He seemed to be using it the opposite of what it means.

R12 I’m Gen Z, not ancient. No one cares anymore, you understood what I meant.

[quote][R12] I’m Gen Z, not ancient. No one cares anymore, you understood what I meant.

I really don't know what you meant, r15. Using the phrase "toe the line" in that context makes zero sense. You made three mistakes in one short sentence. That's nothing to be proud of.

R16 whatevs, geezer

What did you mean, then, sonnyboy/r17?

I'm actually curious.

I’m the recurrent gonorrhea.

Anyway, yes, Fran is lesbian

I'm on Prep and think it protects me from every STD

I'm the urine you're smelling on the sidewalk.

I NEVER pay retail (except when i do, cuz I'm NASTAY!)

I'm the constant shrieking about how NYC is the best city in the world.

I'm also the secret truth that I haven't left my apartment in 5 years. I might as well live in Des Moines.

[quote] LA Gym Culture...that’s very true, LA is another level. You have to become sex doll-adjacent

I feel like people make this comments without going to a gym in WeHo. It really does not feel that intense but people are fit. It's not like people walk around just hating on others. LA is more friendly than Chelsea.

[Quote] LA is more friendly than Chelsea.

Chelsea is family friendly. It's not the gay hotspot it was 20-30 years ago. The Limelight, The Big Cup . . .all gone.

is the editor from new york

I'm the New York retiree who moves to Florida. We are legion.

[Quote]What's not to love, R53? Living with a balcony in the greatest city in the world

don't realize balconies exist outside of NYC

I'm the gay who no longer feels safe in the city A man was stabbed in Hell's Kitchen by a group of young men hurling anti-gay insults in Hell's Kitchen on Wednesday night, police said.

I'm the west 40s guys in their 40s whose entire existence is played out between Fulton Street and 86th at max. distance.

^ more like Houston-56th Street

I'm the gay AA and CMA meetings...BORING!

I'm also the Monkey Pox resurgence bitchez!

I’m the simmering resentment over something inconsequential.

I'm the seething pedestrian and MTA rage.

I'm here to conquer the world in H&M and Zara.

I'm the Rambles in Central Park. I see a lot of them here.

I'm the hundreds of pages of male escorts on Rentmen.

I'm r39 just chiming in to say I found r2's post funny af. And I'm a New Yorker!

Well done, Sir. Well done.

R15, I am too. But shit, it takes literally a second to LTSU.

"I went to Old Navy and a button up shirt was $39.99, from Old fucking Navy! The same shirt’s price in the 2000s was no more than $15."

R15, this you?

I’m whipping out my calculator to split the check to the penny. Gotta be careful on a freelancer’s salary! Also I’m 45 and live with roommates.

I'm the gay noticing how very basic everyone is in Union Square is these days.

R15 be kind to your feeble elders and let us know what you meant to convey. We might be psycho bitches, but we aren’t psychic bitches.

It’s ok. Rocky Burnette gets it.

Keep lowering that bar, R15! Glad you're enjoying your ignorance.

I’m the bohemian aesthetic, achieved with itchy fast fashion from Mango or Zara.

I’m the aggressive sashay, the dangly earring, overly intentionally ridiculous outfit, and resting cunt face on the Yasss Kween’s face as they prance through human urine. They’re the Queen of this city and will be bowed down to immediately, as they take out their high school bullying on everyone else, especially other gays.

I'm single, work at Duane Reade, am 54 years old, can't drive, still rent with a flatmate and have no friends except for my elderly neighbor. Despite all that , I am so much better than you because I LIVE IN NEW YORK!

I'm not gay. He sucked "my" dick.

I’m the crushed Broadway dreams or any dreams for any industry.

We don't disdain LA, why it's a perfectly cute little suburb r2.

R3*

New Yorkers put down anything not NYC because they work overtime to convince themselves that New York isn't a ripoff.

New Yorkers are compelled to put down LA but LA just doesn't care. What, there was a contest?

Does punching regularly happen now? This guys says he was punched by a homless dude. Wtf?! The worst part is that he says it has also happened to several people he knows.

You have it the other way around, r55

R56 maybe he hangs out with that Onlyfans Judge and he’s referring to fisting.

HA. No one on this thread lives in NYC.

Except R59

R60 but some like me work in NY 3 days a week. Go to Macy's Herald Square and visit the furniture department on the 9th floor and see the number of homeless people sleeping on furniture. I saw at least half a dozen last Tuesday. Otherwise, the store was virtually empty a 6pm and there was no wait for elevators.

—Flagship store or KMart?

R62 we heard the first time

'we'? redirected comment to the poster it was intended for. Sorry if offends you so. You must be a New Yorker.

He's lucky he was only punched

[Quote] HA. No one on this thread lives in NYC.

Yeah, no one lives there anymore. It's too crowded...

I'm one of the millions of bottoms lamenting the shortage of tops

R26- Not to mention Splash, g lounge and a Different Light Bookstore

^ Rome, Boots and Saddles, East of Eighth. The Barbary Coast . . .endless list

^ and the hot guys!

MTG says it stinks!

I'd like to hear Santos' response to that. After all, it is his state and city.

The homeless problem isn't even that bad in NY compared to the California cities r62. You should get our more.

[Quote] You should get our (sic) more

you mean go to CA. It's bad enough in NY from Penn Station to 28th and Madison the homeless are everywhere. Worked in NY for decades and lived there from 1988-2006. Don't worry I get out enough. Any other cliched retorts?

Full-blown encampments, no. Random junkies everywhere, yes.

The homeless haven’t discovered Grand Central Madison yet. It is sparkling clean still.

^ Give it time. Have you been to Madison Park lately which was a homeless encampment even before the pandemic?

last year

this year

[Quote] The homeless haven’t discovered Grand Central Madison yet. It is sparkling clean still.

nor have they discovered the the Statue of Liberty's torch, but Battery Park is another story.

[quote]your towing the line

Oh Dear!, Oh Dear!

4 words and half are wrong

I'm the New York retiree [tax scofflaws] who moves to Florida [and sponges off the rest of us 6 months a year[. We are legion.

Go back to kissing DeSatan's homophobic butt, you assholes

I used to be struck by how crazy California homeless can be but NYC homeless can be very in your face. Holding doors of ATMs and even coffee spots in Midtown judging on what I've seen.

R84 they want a tip, they’re the bellhops.

R84 which is why I don't patronize the small stores and chains along 7th Ave in Midtown.

R85 They not only want money but ask you to buy them something and they are very particular.

I offered to give a homeless my unopened yoghurt. He was offended. “I don’t eat that shit!”

Why is someone, even at 18 years old, just referred to as a "straphanger" in the news story about his death?!?

Surely, there was more to his life than that.

Imagine that being your epitaph, just because you were killed while riding the subway. Terrible.

I'm the unhappy childhood in a blue collar neighborhood in Tulsa I have managed to keep well hidden.

When people ask I have an elaborate story about my socialite mother, oilman father and, once I've ascertained the person I am talking to has no connection to the South, SMU.

I frequently start threads about "things that are klassy" on DL and keep a tattered version of The Preppy Handbook by my bedside.

I tolerated no BS, from anyone. I'm outspoken, assertive, and I fight for my rights. I'm a proud gay, New Yorker.

I move to Florida. I'm quiet and passive, as my rights evaporate, under DeSantis. I'm a "proud gay" New Yorker who crawled back to the closet when amidst Republicans.

I'm the New Yorker who believes gay males in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Miami, West Palm, and Key West are in the closet and doesn't realize Florida is filled with people from NY and NJ year round

I can still fit the jeans I wore in high school, so suck it, fat, flyover gays!!

It really is the NY lifestyle r92.

The rest of America is allergic to using their damn legs and walking places. Whereas NYers walking a few miles a day is normal in the course of day to day life.

We're so handy to the Village!

I’m being better than Pittsburgh gays. Which isn’t hard - they look like they have an oven stuffer roaster superglued to their face.

R93 I always used to laugh when fitness/diet experts went on TV to encourage people to go on multiple extra walks and “aim for” 10,000 steps a day… I get 12,000 just from going about my day!

[quote] I can still fit the jeans I wore in high school, so suck it, fat, flyover gays!!

Of course I am only 24, so it's really not that much of an accomplishment, but still...

Everything r90 describes happened in his head.

I’m the fifth floor “city views” walk-up apartment west of Ninth Ave.

True R98 and NY queens buy into the BS

'Social media and cable news may make us think we're living in a polarized country, but talking to actual people tells me otherwise. I've never had anyone in any state I've been to tear into me like an anonymous Twitter troll. Politics don't tend to come up if you don't bring them up. Everyday folks from coast to coast are much kinder and more open-minded than we give them credit for.'

[quote]We're so handy to the Village!

I like a handy in the Village, suh.

this thread is just tedious

I’m the quarter share on Fire Island for $5000.

Now that r102 is gone, the REAL fun can start.

I'm so glad he announced his departure.

we're on DL attacking anyone who seems anti-NY

[Quote] We're so handy to the Village!

So are we!

R93 has never been west of the Hudson River where people walk, jog, bike ride and go to the gym
