I lost my fur baby 3 years ago after 14 years ... I want another one so bad ,but i just can not go thru another loss

Thank you Rick ....as always more good advice

Any advice on what I can do to help friends and partner feel safer opening up with me? I don't like pushing or prying but would like to help them feel more comfortable leaning on me.

Rick ,thank you for this message it truly helps 🎉

Loved this positive message. 🙌

Thank you , gents . From South Africa

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Jesus and Elijah both returned as women and will marry each other. Matthew 19 12 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ says God prefers same-sex marriage and confirms transgender people are born that way. All of the fake ministers know the Bible is telling them to return the money. World peace is coming for those that remain and God's real people will soon transfigure and never pass on again.

Needed this reminder. 😅

Subscribed for more of this positivity. 🙌

Maybe when I was younger.

Most gay men only wanna date and be in a relationship with (The Guy) all his friends are gonna be jealous of. The vast majority of gay men are VAIN. If they can't show you off, there's no need to date you. That's why a lot of gay men are lonely and single.

Best advice ever 👍🏻👍🏻. Lots of Gay Men need to hear this.

I guess it all depends on which religion you're referring to. I know with Jew, Christians and Muslims it's

Good advice

Well start with twinks that have the feeling the whole world is at their feet and fully of opportunity, let them fly. They don‘t want to stop at their first relationship. They need to explore themselves.

Baby gay here. This helped a lot. Been really struggling with silence. Wasn't sure if this was just normal and something I needed to accept about my partner. But it is really difficult not being able to have conversations I feel are important. 😅

Thank you 😊

💯 😒

Words of wisdom. This is very accurate.

Rick , always love your advice .....thank you !

Healthcare sucks for everyone

My granddaughter is gay i love her and support her she's who she is I'm a Republican but still support the gay community

Never heard such rubbish, your not an expert so don't know why you made this.

I am in a 33-year relationship, how about you? Just curious

I Love Me and I Love You! Bravo! On those statements, My Friend.

Make a few episodes talking about the Bible

Sound advice

It has nothing to do with being gay. it has to do with being men. Men are not taught to be supportive of one another but to compete with one another. Ask any struggling gay artist where his support comes from: women, lesbians, straight people, not gay men.. A gay man who gets too far, has too much success, gets laid too much, etc etc. is not a "gay brother" to other gay men. He's a man who needs to be brought down a notch or two. This dynamic is easily seen repeatedly on dating/hook-up apps. I read profiles on apps that are so inflated and full of braggadocio that I don't care how hot the guy is... I just want to stick a pin in his balloon, lol, and no, I do NOT necessarily want to "hook up" with him no matter how over-sculpted his body is or how many inches he brags about having.. Everything is a stage to gay men trying to be perfect when we were told we are flawed. This is why gay apps are halls of illusion and are causing a lot of mental and emotional distress to gay men in the same way adolescent boys and girls are affected by Tik Tok or whatever. And just think.... it's all there for profit, so someone can make money off from dildos, generic blue pills promoted as recreational drugs to men in their 20s, phony and over-acted porn, jock straps, young men stroking themselves like monkeys in hopes of old men tipping them... there's GOT to be a better way than this crap. When will we get real?

Really Good, there was a car also called a gremlin. I think you give really good talks!

Social anxiety is not anxiety at all - this is misnomer that CBT is spreading due to ableism. Social anxiety is actually operant conditioning - fear of punishment. But it appears as if we are not sure what we are afraid of - and then CBT labels this uncertainty as anxiety - unknown irrational fear. But this explanation does not help - because there is real abuse and real trauma beneath this "anxiety" - fear of punishment which is conditioned into us during our childhood - known as ACE and ACoA emotional abuse. Punishment - means narcissistic abuse - and that this fear will be triggered by toxic people who are endorsed by society due to glib charm and psychopathy being masked.

A child of color can get beat up at school, run home crying, and grandma will cradle him and say: "That's okay Baby. Jesus will make it all better later." If we run home crying and tell them why we are crying, we will probably get beat again, possibly thrown out of the house. It makes us tough, and survivors. A wise soul taught me long ago that my secrets keep me sick. If someone else can't handle my truth, that's on them, not on me.

Good advice 💙. Love your shirt and artwork!

The truth is that homosexuality is not gay. This you need embrace. It is a perversion of the natural design. You can deceive yourself as much as you’d like and attempt to get culture to accept your rationalization but that does not change what your designer created you for. Have the courage to confront yourself instead of excuse yourself.

Everyone faces the same things 🌻🎶♥️ love yourself

I agree with all of that. And the one thing that is very true for all people is, we are never ever alone. I've been asked or told several times in different ways. Are you lonely? And I have to laugh because that's not ever been my experience. I hope, everyone is Happy and Healthy!

Try being in a human coop.... like a chicken coop but for homeless people.

OMG! You saying you came out 25 years ago made me wonder when I came out. And, fuck! So did I! I came out in 1999 too, when I was 16. Wild! Thank you for the reminder!

I agree that gay men want perfection. They dont accept any flaws, which is why there are so many single and lonely gay men. But as ive hit 58, its so much easier to not feel lonely or rejected. I guess ive grown thicker skin along with my bald head, pot belly, and wrinkles.😂😂😂😂

As gay men we have to be super strong on every level !!! If i get sad or have life b slap me , I never let that sad emotion take over me for more then 5 minutes . Then i kick the sadness to the curb !!!

Thanks, I'm 67 and coming around to these three things at this age🧡

Are we related? Thks for your insight.

You know it’s funny to me. Because the same thing that happened to families, I believe happened to the gay community. Remember that old movie that they recently redid called the boys in the band? This group of young gay men created a survival tribe. And even though it was toxic because of their internalized homophobia. They still stuck together. But in our modern day culture. So much emphasis was put on what you had. Or what you looked like. And of course, becoming a slave to over consumption and self indulgent behavior. And now we all have this false comfort of social media to give us the illusion that we actually are socializing or interacting with people. That we basically painted ourselves into a corner. Humans forget. The entire reason that our species is not only thrived but dominated this planet. Really wasn’t because we were the strongest. But because we cared for each other. No matter what we form tribes that had purpose and had our back. But now there are no tries. And when you feel like you’re completely alone in a capitalistic dynamic. You just won Repair away from being homeless. Unlike if you had the backing of a family or a tribe. A tribe meaning an empowered friendship group. I also think that gay men in particular I put way too much focus on the sexual part of homosexuality. And I’m not shaming that but… When you overvalue anything it will turn on you. And with older gay men it’s age that suddenly values us. That is if you get caught up in that bullshit. Lol it’s important as we age to gain wisdom. Because there’s nothing more tragic than an old fool.you must set your value, and find your tribe. And focus on the solutions and not the problems. We are not above any other animal on this planet. So instead of self-pity, you have to find the strength for adaptation.

Thank you for making the effort to help others. This is the "Next Best Thing You Can Do"

Beautiful T - shrt ❤

Thank you!

Hit the gym… it will completely transform you, sir! ♥️ Believe me.

Misery is the opposite of gay.

Rick , thank you once again for good advice ... Again you are on point ,it really helps

Rationality isn’t a constituent part of a depressed person’s mindset. Your advice is well intentioned but misplaced.
