[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not trying to help a cause. Sorry that you don't expect a "real man" (whatever that means) to...express empathy? The question was asked whether I was trans and I answered in the negative with a chaser to make clear that I support a community that is going through a lot right now. That may not be a part of the world of the men you date but it's a part of mine so I'm going to speak on it if I feel like I need to.

I don't hide any aspects of my personality, whether they neatly fit into masculine or feminine or in between. Sometimes I wear pastels, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I'll binge watch romcoms on Netflix, sometimes I'll go spar with people at a boxing gym. Life is so much better when I don't confine myself to activities, or saying things that only "real men" say.

That being said, I have a first date lined up with a friend of one of the artists that did some of my tattoos. She's straight edge, so we're going to go grab some decaf beverages (she considers the caffeine a drug) and go for a walk, weather permitting. Seems like a nice person, with a solid career (owns small CPA firm focusing on tattooers/piercers/etc). She's seen pictures of me and has no issues with the tattoos since she is also heavily tattooed.[/quote]

Rooting for you, OP. Hope you have a great date! I gave you a hard time earlier on in the thread, but I like your tone. You seem comfortable in who you are, and people may be assuming the opposite based on your tattoos and bike. Meeting women through friends seems to be your best bet at avoiding misconceptions about you.[/quote]
