For any Prep users on here who have the oft-self diagnosed "latex allergies" (that seemed to have sweep through the collective of bottoms after 2018 for some reason), do you actually sit out hookups when you acquire an STI? Even like ones not often mentioned like jock itch & public lice? Do gays actually do this? What's your experience been? And while I'm aware you can acquire some STIs through oral or skin-to-skin contact, I'd go on a wager to conclude it might just very well be less of a chance of acquiring an STI if you just wrap that junk/banana/tootsie roll or whatever up . This thread been brought you by a f-buddy (we'll call him a former f-buddy)'s crash out after simply being asked if he's visited the Hassle-Free clinic in a while or not.

What is the first melody of a song (the pre-chorus, chorus, verse etc.) that comes to mind from each year of the past 10 years (sans 2026 of course)? Here's my list: 2016: WFH chorus (no brainer) 2017: Feels (Calvin Harris, Pharrell & Katy collab) chorus for some reason 2018: Boo'd Up's chorus 2019: Lizzo Juice's pre-chorus. 2020: Rain on Me's pre-chorus. 2021: Sza's Good Days' 1st verse 2022: Unholy's chorus 2023: Boy's A Liar's chorus 2024: Yes And?'s chorus 2025: For some reason the pre-chorus of Tate Mcrae's Revolving Door despite me not playing it as often.

What song(s) you LEAST expected to keep growing & growing on you, have done JUST that in the past year for you? OMG y, I'm not a Britney fan, but y'all HELP ME TF OUT HERE . Break The Ice is currently tugging at my wig HARD 20 years later. I'm like kinda scared anymore to count songs out like I did this one. This WAS supposed to be a random on-trend Britney single in sophomore high school! WTF happened It's been a while.... (Hauaahaahaaa Whooaa )... I know I shouldn't have kept you waiting....but I'm HERE NOW !

You weren't on wishful thinking mode. You weren't a leering/ogling mess. You didn't constantly try to hound him with gay sex jokes. You tried your best but in the end he caught the vibe, even if subtlety and started distancing himself. SnHas this ever happened to you?

When was the last time you were ghosted on any platform? And do you think it was deserved or not? Were you too cringy or too cold in your last response? Did you use one word that maybe threw your whole reply off? Did you ask if they were into safe fun? Discuss!

To your point. I get that people in general need to try their best in life, including the likes of empaths, neurodivergent people etc. We live in a very much extroverted, capitialistic, fast-paced world that can be merciless and unforgiving & can't afford to have one sitting around and not engaging to a degree; we gotta put on the brave face & face the lions, the drivel & all that jazz. But to say that there is any wonder that socially awkward people tap out & don't want anything to do with this social politics is kinda missing the point. I mean you have my last thread as an example where you'd think I would have said some off-the-cuff pro Isreali thing. But no Chris rocks voice It was an NPC joke! And this happens in real life too. Co-workers thinking you're stuck up just because you can't be bothered to be their energetic battery and entertain their contrived small-talk & disclose your life story & all that mess. So while it is commendable that we try & press on amidst all the mess, let's please not penalize the ones who have understandably have tapped out. Sometimes just showing up in the bare minimum & not playing the game is a protective measure in itself, for your sanity & soul (to those who believe people possess that.)

Okay...? So then don't ask what the point is if you're not going to read the entire thing then...? I dunno. That's just me though.

But I don't necessarily think that it's a bad thing. Sometimes social awkwardness can be an asset, a secret weapon if you will. And like some users on here like @Relampago. have graciously highlighted, socially awkward people can very much have fresh takes on life that perhaps shed light on certain aspects of life that people often overlook and don't realize is a point of contention and something where boundaries & sensitivities should be called to question.

No, you're not getting it. Don't skim through it. Like READ everything from the previous thread. From OP to the final post.

No. Read the thread over. And the previous thread that I made.

@ATRL Administration and while you're at it, since we're doing the whole schoolyard "I'm telling on you!" mess, please reprimand all users here who throw rocks & hide their hands regarding other people's mental health & capabilities. No reason for me to be called sociopathic over a harmless joke.

I studied in Psychology for a bit some years back. But I untimely decided to take a different path & embark on other programs & endeavors let's just say.

The reaction was to people suggesting that I'm either a sociopath, narcissist or autistic, unprovoked. With some even suggesting that I go seek professional help immediately. Kinda like on what this fella in this gif below was on if you ask me (as far as all of the collective reaction to my NPC bit) & I made a G.I Joe joke

So....for the millionth time....that NPC bit was......say it with me together, class.....A JOKE. Why does your spirit feel so convincted though is the question? Do you really feel offended by that "slight?" Did I make you feel inhuman?

Same dogpiling slop. Not bothering to read the entire thread. I'm sick of people like you.

**** you

I just want to open this discussion up to a respectful & kind banter #NoNegativityOnThisSiteThankYou. Please, let's try to be respectful, not bring up people's mental health or capabilities, and do a do-over of sorts. So we're entering a new year and it's bereaving that we leave old mess, and most importantly, inconsiderate behavior behind. With that being said, what are your thoughts on socially awkward people or people who struggle to fit into rigid contemporary scenes and groups and as a result are overlooked, ghosted etc? Is the onus on socially awkward people to "get to speed," learn that natural & unforgiving rhythm that goes with keeping people's attention, and quickly too at that, and if not then stop pointing out unfair behavior, ignore all the BS because "life's not fair and you shouldn't care what people think," "tough luck" and "Don't be the annoying party pooper whose always airing out their grievances about not fitting in?" Should socially awkward people like this (empaths, autistic people etc.) pay more attention to things like small talk, and be ready to deliver, line after line, the right conversation smootheners that hit, one after the other, or you're eliminated & better luck next time? What's your personal philosophy on this?

"You're the problem because you respond to insults about your mental health unprovoked instead of turning the other cheek. Maybe you're the narcissist. Now I see why no one likes you. ROLL over and take the unnecessary dogpiling from ugly-on-the-inside users on here, you socially awkward autistic narcissist ." *****, you're dismissed. Check on your Swanson frozen dinner, might get a little too crispy if left in the oven too long. Or whatever...

I must be older than you (with a flawless body in which people often mistaken to be in my early 20s mind you) if you can't grasp the concept of an empath vs someone who is autistic. Spoiler (They're two completely different things). Y'all are really ugly on the inside on this site (not all of you, just some of you vibe-killers who get easily confused at subject matter that has been adequately explained (ad-nauseum at that)). If you don't get what's being discuss, don't ******* comment.

You should really step out your mother's basement before you lose grip of all reality, love. You're an adult (saying this sparingly & "technically"), she could use some support with the mortgage my dear! What's hard about not replying to a topic that goes over your head? ******* over here bumping their heads suggesting that I'm on the spectrum, FOH.

You would know what a loser behaves like. Losers comment on a topic just dogpiling like the NPC, Yeah I said it, NPC chops that they are adding nothing of substance to the already outlined premise. So now you're calling me autistic and faulting me for not having great social skills? My point exactly. Just one of the many soulless autopilot N to the muhfucking P C ass gays on this site with nothing to contribute other than to speculate on others mental well-being. Happy 2026 Y'all!

Congrats on the 5 reactions that you're gonna get from this post I guess . Anyways I will highlight the posts that seem to understand the assignment as far as what I'm going for. Love that y'all didn't sink as low as attacking one's mental health, unlike some users.

Dude STFU. I love the ability of some of y'all to twist people's intentions on this site. One post & suddenly I need to be studied by a psychiatrist in a zoo? Are you okay? *****, be a little less liberal with your words, armchair psychiatrist, FOH Okay, I'll do you one, you've got the right one kiddo (not calling you sir cause your post reads as nothing more than childish "please give at least 5 likes under my post" clout-chasing slop). @Rune is yet another user who thinks he's an "edgy" follower dogpiling on a user like @BrentB who he thinks is a weak link (little does he know though) being willfully obtuse, gaslighting AF, lacks the ability to arrive at the conclusion that people have a vast array of experiences in life and one anecdote may very well carry some merit to it and just leave it at that. He, and @Archetype, @Elementary & @BILLIONAIRE✘BOY are having mask-off moments and are high-key exactly what the OP just described, a miserable, cliquey, gaslighting, well would you know it NPCs, most-likely even narcissists, just like many "know-it-all" soulless gays out there who stand by a "compulsory athiesm" mindset, severely lacking in reading comprehension skills audaciously at that and has too much faith in people out there. If there's anyone that needs mental evaluation, it's your ole boy @Rune over here. How's that, am I in the ballpark there?

Very much so. Keep looking .
