Any fellow gay or bi folks into martial arts or motorcycles? Curious to connect.

Hey, guys. 👋

Lately I've been diving into martial arts - just early practice for now, but I'm really drawn to the mindset: focus, discipline, inner calm. At the same time, I've found myself a bit intrigued by the motorcycle culture - the freedom, the connection to the road, the aesthetic too.

I've noticed that some people in both spaces seem to carry a quiet confidence that's really inspiring.

Just wondering if anyone else here shares that mix of interests - judo, karate, moto rides, maybe beach walks after a training session, that kind of peaceful warrior vibe?

Not looking for anything in particular, just curious to see who's out there. Feel free to share your experience, say hi, or drop a pic if you feel like it. ☺️

Wishing calm and good energy to anyone who needs it today. 🥋 🏍 ✨️

Do male bonding patterns affect us romantically

A few weeks ago I was having a conversation with my therapist and he pointed some things that about me: mainly that my sense of socializing and bonding is feminine, I don't like making friends even though I like having friends I don't like the process of acquiring them, and because of that I don't really have many hobbies or much of a sense of self. My therapist explains to me that the average heterosexual male bonds with fellow males through shared experiences and activities like playing pool, we're doing construction.

And then this got me reflecting on the whole concept of hookup culture. What if it's the average male that can only really bond with other men through shared experiences and activities like having sex? And my demisexuality makes me fundamentally incompatible with like 90% of all gay men, so on top of how hard romance is for me for other reasons, it is now 10 times harder?

This is a hyper generalization I know but it's kind of bothering me that I have no one else to talk to about it.

TFW you're the only one online on theBlowers at 2 in the morning

Had to visit a friend in the hospital at midnight but the nurse kicks me out at 2:00 saying only one visitor can wait with the patient. Friend tells me it's okay and so I wait in the car. But now it's 2:00am in an empty hospital parking lot and I'm horny. I open theBlowers and nobody is online for miles? Now I feel super awkward lmao

My experiences with some exes I had, how we broke up, and our status now

(The photo is my facial expression to each person I have dated, these are fake names. Posted here because I’m MLM in an MLM relationship.)

Name: Leah

We broke up because she wouldn’t stop asking for dirty photos, we don’t talk anymore.

Name: Steve

We dated in fifth grade when we knew each other but we later lost feelings and decided to just be friends and stop the flirting. We are now together again and have stayed friends all that time.

Name: Aria

We dated online for a little bit until she blocked me because she wanted to “move on” and called me abusive for wanting to be her friend.

We don’t talk anymore, she kept me blocked.

Name: Carol

We occasionally say “hi” or wave but have nothing to talk about. She broke up with me due to me not being the right guy, she didn’t wanna continue dating someone she didn’t feel romantic towards.

Name: Karen

My most recent ex. I have her number so I can contact her any time but we haven’t spoken since we broke up. She broke up with me because she wasn’t ready to be in a long-lasting, committed relationship.
