Why do gay men have the gay accent and mannerisms? The lisp and floppy wrists and such. What comes first; the mannerisms, or the realization that they're gay?

I ask this because I knew a kid growing up who kinda had that lisp and mincing mannerisms all while growing up, and then sure enough, he turned out to be gay. But it's not like he had been hanging around gay people while growing up as a child and picking up on their mannerisms, at least not that I know of. His brother turned out mostly normal. So though it makes more sense that a guy would realize he's gay and then start hanging out with gay people and then picking up their mannerisms, but that doesn't seem to be the case in all cases.

Also, why do trans women like JY have that dry, stringy hair? Is that a result of HRT, or of their hair dyes, or something else?

Not all of us are like that. I act and speak like a normal dude. I've always wondered why so many effeminate men have that lisp. There were kids I was around who had the mannerisms and of course they all grew up gay. I think it comes before the realization of their sexuality.

Like @Mesh Gear Fox I don't have a femmy voice or mannerisms either. Most people have no inkling or suspicion I'm gay unless the topic comes up and I tell them.

it is something I tend to notice with younger gay guys who have recently come out. They see how gays are represented in media as these flouncing, catty Nancy boys and think that's something to emulate as a positive role model. It's popular so people must be responding positively to that depiction. Sometimes they grow out of it and just go back to being themselves, sometimes you just have a gay dude who is naturally Effeminate, sometimes it's the LGBT community pushing an idea of how people are "supposed" to act and believe.

This seems more like the flamboyant types that are like that. Plenty of gay people who just want to be like others instead of being feminine as fuck.

Probably a combo of both.

I have wondered about this too, and the only explanation I have managed to come up with is that perhaps something during their upbringing caused them to psychologically develop in ways more typical of the opposite sex (which may also explain their sexual preference). This is probably nothing but a just-so story, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some truth to it, at least in some cases.
 
I think it also has to do with their work environment. From what I've seen most Gay men that work retail tend to act a lot like John Inman's Mr. Humphries (even if they don't know who he is) I think it's wanting to come across as friendly and nice but in a way overdoing it.
 
My parents moved house and my new room has no space for a desk in it. I’m irrationally mad about this. My dad got me a big chest of drawers and a massive 43 inch telly to go on it but I barely ever watch TV of my own accord and most of my gaming is PC stuff these days. Plus I purposefully got a bed that didn’t have a comfy fabric headboard in the hope that it would encourage me to get out of bed and sit at a desk because I hated how centred around my bed my life was before but lolnope the best I can do is get a wireless keyboard/mouse and turn my TV into a computer to use while I stew in bed. My sister has a desk but I don’t - I have to use the one in Dad’s office if I really want one. I’d honestly rather have my old small 24 inch TV and a smaller chest of drawers to put it on with a desk next to it that would eventually house a proper desktop computer when I have the income necessary to build one. But I can never ever mention this, because if I do I’ll look like an ungrateful twat and mom will probably go apeshit at me.

TL;DR my new bedroom was designed by boomers
 
Why are girls now on tinder begging guys for money for nudes? If you swipe right on a guy because you want to try and sell him nude pics instead of wanting to date the guy that means you are being dishonest and are a liar. And a con artist. Porn is for free. BETTER porn is free. A real ugly girl we matched and the first thing she says is do you want nudes send me money on cash app. This girl must have been watching too much eurphoria on hbo because her ego was way too inflated considering how she looked. And it is offensive to think I would be stupid enough to pay for nudes on tinder. I would never pay a female money for nudes but especially not a girl from tinder. Begging guys for money for nudes makes you just as bad as the homeless black man begging for money by the side of the highway!

Get one of those foldable tables from IKEA, the ones that have one side stuck to you wall via an horizontal axis, I'm bad at describing furniture but you probably understand.
 
I have an autistic question. Is the "mad at the internet" rating the equivalent of an a log rating? If not what does it mean

Found this on the hood of my car, this morning.

Huh. So everybody knows financial domination; those idiot girls who want to get paid for calling men faggots over and over. Now catfish financial domination is apparently a thing; someone willingly telling these fat losers that they also are a fat loser.. And it's a kink?

Give it a few years and every negative condition in life will somehow be a hot kink to someone. "You're paying for my scoliosis treatment, you little pig :) "
 
Dumping a spergy rant here. If uninterested, skip straight to pretty picture.

Which is even stupider when you realize that his great crime was he had a thing for awkwardly asking his girlfriends to let him fap in front of them -- and they gave him consent.

This still bothers me. Whenever you allow these "strong, independent" ladies to conflate regret with rape, you agree that grown-ass women are incapable of meaningful consent.
By #MeToo standards, even when she verbally says yes, she might be secretly too terror-stricken to say no. The mere presence of penis in a room apparently renders her a voiceless, powerless, little worm. Which is it? Can women manage their bodies and lives as adults or do they need chaperones and chastity belts?
Don't want to see little Louis? How about you laugh at the funny ginger perv, try to crack a dick joke, or just decline and fucking leave? You then have a wacky life story to share with friends, and he's the only one who embarrassed himself.
Even the accusation that it's inappropriate conduct seems re.tarded to me. He's not a family-friendly icon or a public servant expected to keep things clean. Any fan of this man's comedy has no reason to think they're meeting Pastor Dave or Mister Rogers, and their only expectation should been that he keeps things legal. Sounds like he did. You can be taken aback at the awkward situation, but how can you claim to enjoy this -
- and then be shocked and scandalized that he's into performative fapping?
I hope these people go sterile.
