Your gay lifestyle... what's it like?

[ryanmilla]

There are a lot of gay people who go out and do the whole bar scene, the circuit parties, that sort of thing.

What people don't realize is that basing your opinions of gay people on those things is like basing your opinion of straight peoples' behavior on strip clubs, swingers bars, and wife-swapping. Sure there are people who do all that, and that's their business. But it's not, by any means, the norm.

Ahhh, do you happen to have any of their addresses by the way.....whoops, did I say that out loud....

My bf an me live in Vienna, Austria. I m a tax lawyer and he is a doctor. I only work from Monday to Wednesday because i believe one should not spend most of their life in an office. My bf always teases me about being lazy but what can you do But he never complains when on thursdays and fridays when he comes home from work i have cooked him a fabulous dinner. Which i can 't do on the days i work. We love to invite our friends for dinner parties. I love to plan the meals and to shop and prepare everything (well you see not much time for the office) and to mix martinis. Furthermore we love to travel to Florida (of course), Barcelona, Sydney, London and Rome. And we like to eat out with friends (straight and gay) or have some drinks with them. Well i'm sorry that our life is not more exciting and i would love to tell you about some weekly orgies
But apperently our "gay life" doesn't differ much from the one you lead across the atlantic.

Well on tuesdays and Fridays are DW and mines orgies nights It's pretty much just a whole street party hundreds of people great time, all other nights of the week we just hit every bar in town of course we wait for our DS Five to fall asleep we usually get home around six in the morning just in time to wake DS up to go to school and for us to go to work, but usually about three days a week were to hung over to go anyway. Well that's mine and the wife's story, oh wait you said Gay life style sorry

So we are having a party in July that sounds right up your alley!

Ok well the next door neighbor thinks that is what our party entails....he already informed us he is calling the police when it starts!! Ahh you got to love your neighbors.... I didn't know how to invite the hot lesbian cop...and now he is doing it for me!!!!! I got to get him a really good thank you gift...any suggestions?

One would think so.....but with this neighbor, not a chance.
I think he dosen't like us....? Maybe he is jealous of our crazy lifestyle

We both work in the same casino here in Las Vegas and are very busy most of the time. After being together for over 20 years I can tell you we are far from being boring...LOL although I will admit, I'd love a little boring every now and then.

We both work swing shift which is 8pm to 4am so we are home by 5a and in bed by 6-6:30a.... up by 1p and out of the house most of the time by 3p. most days... Both of us have hobbies and projects we work on plus keeping the house clean... well you know the drill... so our lives are far from boring.

Here's another "boring" gay lifestyle for you.

Adam and I have been together for only 21 months, not even two years yet. I'm a travel agent and he's in the IT field, and currently gets to work from home, so he does most of the household stuff. Not that I'm complaining.

We have a kitty and we both love playing "catch" with her.

We love to travel and have been to lots of places around the world, including Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

Lets see ... Mondays is cooking night, Tuesdays is leftovers night, Wednesdays is our movie night. Thursdays is anything can happen night and Fridays is Shabbat dinner with my family, over at my parents place. We're usually shopping or at the movies on the weekends, if we're not travelling someplace.

We have a few gay friends, but don't socialize all that much any more.

We're both turning 40 next year (we were born 3 days apart), so we're going to "escape" on an Alaska cruise!

Boring, huh?

 

[Tony-NJ]

Doesn't sound that boring Mike!

Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost three years (august 25th will be three) and have lived together for two years.. and were only 20.. lol

We both go to the same college.. I have a job as a host at a resturant and I'm self employed with my websites.. He has two jobs right now for the summer, and just has one during school.. We work.. go to school... and the little time we do have we eat out or watch a movie..
Most people say I'm boring because I dont like to party or drink really, but I guess I like being boring

BF and I have been together for ten years. We'll do wine with dinner, but don't drink much otherwise. Don't do drugs or smoke cigarettes at all. We live in San Francisco, close to the Castro district (party central), and we have a couple of friends who are into the bar scene and will sometimes ask us to go along -- and for a while we would from time to time, just to be "social", but we just got so bored with it and so tired of coming home smelling like second-hand smoke that we've pretty much stopped altogether now. We'd rather be traveling or going to the theater or for a drive (day trips, family in Sacramento, Home Depot!) or going for nice, long, exhausting bike rides. And if we're at home, and I'm not on one of my writing projects, then it's working on the continuing saga that is our living space, or watching DVDs or something on the DVR, or playing with the kitty. I suppose our "gay lifestyle" is almost indistinguishable from anyone else's "straight lifestyle" and really doesn't separate us at all from straight friends and relatives. Our "vegan lifestyle", however, is another matter entirely!

It's very good to see so many new people posting. Welcome all!

 

[kaweb]

I love reading about these "alternate" lifestyles you all are living--please, make room for me in the fast lane!!

Seriously, I hope we have been successful in teaching our kids that love is wonderful and valuable, and necessary in everyone's life...and that it can take many forms. My DS's godmother and her partner are our dearest friends, and my kids take their relationship totally for granted (as normal).

In my "real life" and job, I am very active in a number of ally roles & organizations, I hope you don't mind me hanging out on this thread now and then.

Hey I'm straight and I loved your stories! Great to see couples happy and thriving together. Vacations are a great priority and happy couples plan and enjoy them. I don't think many unhappy couples would be at this site.

I think my dh and I are "boring" too but ...

don't you think a lot of "exciting" people are looking for what you already have?

God Bless you and your families!

John and I have been together for almost 3 years now. I make mascot costumes on the side and back then I have made a black tiger which had been shown in various costuming conventions and masquerades. He sent me an e-mail one day practically begging me to sell it to him. After some convincing, I did.

We chatted online from time to time. He was in Michigan, and I am in Nebraska. We dated a few times and before ya knew it, he was packing his stuff to move to Omaha. He's 6'5" and I am 6'7" so we're hard to miss. At the time, I was working for the Zoo in Omaha and John got this wild idea that we become truck drivers. We went over the road for a while, but it wasn't the life for us. After finding a local job driving a truck, we got a bigger place (with my own room for costuming *woo!*) and are taking it as easy as we can. To relax, he enjoys a glass of wine and I enjoy lots and lots of cigars.

We attend costuming conventions together now. We spend our free time working on costumes, taking long walks downtown and in the forest, going to the zoo, and planning for WDW trips. We're wierdos... wearing really colorful stuff while on vacation. Why should 3 year olds get all the attention when 30 years olds crave it too?

thats all I got.

Off Topic - my company was just bought out by a large company in Omaha!!!! Oh joy!

Omaha is one of those places that nobody seems to know a thing about except for Mutual of Omaha and where Warren Buffet comes from. Its amazing the rich folk and the corporate conglomerations we have here. Hope it works out to be a good thing for ya.

 

[Tony-NJ]

Thanks - me too! It wasn't Mutual of Omaha. InfoUSA...

Actually we have a coupld of clients there too. I'll be heading out there in the next couple of months...

 

[Caradana]

Too funny, my fiance and I will be heading out to Omaha in 2008 for USA Swimming Olympic Trials. He's a sportswriter, I freelance, and we already booked our room for the princely sum of $109 per night (and I fell in love with Omaha the minute the clerk started apologizing for the price. I mean seriously.)

 

[Snapcat]

wow! didn't even know Omaha was holding the trials! how cool is that?
Go Omaha!
