String bounced DeStijl

Yup.
I have accepted "salt and pepper"... but "gray" is a hard pill to swallow.

35 ish

@KevinAverett I just read your bio. You actually think men "turn" gay or bi because they have bad relationships with women?

@DeStijl
READ IT AGAIN.
I'm "deeper than THAT".
People can make that decision for whatever reason they like.
I simply haven't questioned my own sexuality.

@KevinAverett It's NOT a decision! I have to assume the Mormons taught you that and you still buy into it. It's ridiculously wrong.

@DeStijl
Oh, for hells sake!
Must I explain myself to you on a 3rd grade level?
If you have questions, pm me.
If you are gonna try to "embarrass" me HERE....good luck.
I don't CARE what anybody ELSE does with THEIR sexuality.
I accept people for how they treat OTHER people!
I would be the first person in the bar to step up and DEFEND YOU against a crowd that didn't like you for your sex, sexual PREFERENCE, religion, color, or whether you drive a Chevy, Ford, or Hyundai!
I would ride with you if you rode a Honda, Harley, BMW, Kawasaki or fucking MOPED...if you are a "good person".
Now, if you wanna preach to me about preconceived prejudices... give ME the "right" to be ME.

@KevinAverett I think that the notion that people choose their sexual preference is outdated now. These days its accepted that people are born that way and just take time to discover it. I am hetro and have the attitude to just let people be themselves whatever that is. It sounds like you are the same as me in that way. My hair is also grey by the way but i fucking love it!!

@KevinAverett First of all, you can calm down. This is in your bio---

I'm the last man on Earth that would ever turn bi or gay...but I understand why many do.

It certainly looks like you think "many" men decide to "turn" gay for whatever reasons that you claim to "understand." If you're completely clear on the fact that nobody "turns" gay or "decides" to be gay, you might want to re-word your bio.

@DeStijl
Whether you are BORN attracted to the same sex or have personal reasons stemming from life experiences which "drive you" that way is moot to me.
As stated...."I'm brutally honest".
I....PERSONALLY haven't held a person on my arms (other than family) for 3 years.
Sure, I miss it.
I miss feeling wanted and desired PHYSICALLY.
I'VE had 2 marriages which broke my heart.
What you read in my BIO, was this expression.
What I miss MOST, is having the whispers in my ear like...
"Where did you come from? I love you SO much". I've NEVER had a man treat me the way YOU DO!"...
when they thought I was asleep and didn't HEAR them.
THEN they would jump into bed with a guy who had more drugs in his pocket than I did.
READ it again.
I apologize for expecting you to read between the lines.

@KevinAverett I'm a professional writer and editor. I always read between the lines. As your bio is written, you appear to be suggesting that you think men "turn" gay because of disappointing relationships with women. I pretty much ALWAYS read everything in editor mode and I'd red-pencil that!

@DeStijl
I thought that my Bio was already too long.
I could express my SOUL through my short stories and poetry easier than TRYING to fir it into such a short space as a bio.

@KevinAverett PS. I'll be 59 next month. I've colored my hair for years. I've decided I will have it dyed silver on my 65th birthday and not a day before!

@KevinAverett OK hold on here! You write poetry and short stories? A lot of women love a romantic gentleman of letters! As an editor and a woman who loves sensitive gentlemen, I'd say express your soul!! Delete all the negativity and write about the love you hope to give and find! Sending you a (((hug)))

@DeStijl
I am all natural.
I hate pretending to be anyone.
Sure, I shave sometimes (usually weekly) but, I try to be "real".
I use my real name.
My pics are relatively current (I don't like cameras pointed at me) but take them occasionally to show the real me.
If you saw me in a store...you would know me.
I TRY to be as open as possible.
I'd rather you dislike me QUICKLY, than "invest time in you" and feel hurt in the long run.
It's a self preservation defense mechanosm.

@DeStijl
Many are seen as too "dark".
I share the "light ones".

I just want to let you BOTH know much I THOROUGHLY enjoy when people MISTAKE caps for good WORD emphasis.

Lol jk plz continue. I've brought popcorn.

@KevinAverett I'm sure you know, as a writer, how your writing can be a way to process your emotions. If you need to process hurt and pain, write about it! Maybe create a blog with a pseudonym. Let the anger out and then leave it there. But apply positive aspirations to your hopes for the future! Write about the kind of love you long to GIVE and SHARE! Do you realize how much women complain about men who can't communicate? Men who don't share what's in their hearts and souls? A lot of women would LOVE to meet an expressive gentleman!

@DeStijl
I hit "comment" instead of answer.
It's at top of string.
