[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]That may not be a part of the world of the men you date but it's a part of mine[/b] 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]
How are LGBTQ people part of the world of people you date?[/quote]

Could have worded that better. I was trying to say that LGBTQ+ community may not be a part of the world that the men that the PP date, but said community is part of my world or "my universe" if you will. That is to say, I have friends and family that are part of the community, specifically some of the folks that I'm friendly with at my gym or that come to ride BMX with me and others at times. [b]I have also dated a few transwomen[/b], but once we got to the stage where I was made aware they had transitioned, I politely broke off any romantic pursuits. Still chat/hang out from time to time platonically.[/quote]
Ah. There’s the buried lede.[/quote]
To say the least!

OP, if you had led off that you're a tattoo-covered man who has sex with biological males and doesn't want kids, this thread would have been very short. The fact that you're playing out this whole farce here and doling out crucial info only when people ask the exact right questions also tells me that you're sneaky and secretive. I'm sure there's more you haven't shared here. You already know why you don't appeal to women and why the few who stick with you run for the hills as soon as you start to show your real self.
