[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are you, OP? [/quote]

OP:  31 so these feelings of being somewhat disenfranchised have been around for a while. Do not live in DC anymore but in a slightly less <1,000,000 area, obviously there are numerous gay men. Someone mentioned moving to a gay neighborhood. I don't want my identify to solely revolve around being gay. It is part of who I am, not everything. But I understand that I have to get out the door, walk into situations where I don't know anyone, and see what community events are a good fit. [/quote]

I am the poster that suggested moving to a very gay neighborhood. I still suggest it. It doesn’t have to be your whole life but it should be part of it. Your job isn’t changing and your not leaving your old friends but you need a gayer life at least for now.

To give you some perspective I say this as a 42 year old married man with several kids who’s still lives in the city but a much straighter area. Most of my friends are straights today but this only works because for years I lived in the heart of gay life and for years most of my friends are gay.  My work has always been pretty straight.
