I've added a few people to my friends list who I found just by surfing through one friend to one of their friends, etc. Their journals read very substantively and are intriguing. We'll see how they pan out over time

I think the younger generation of gay people seems more well adjusted in comparison to when I was that age. They seem a lot better at seeing through "the scene" and knowing it for what it really is.
Self-confidence and a perception of experience is almost always an attractive thing, not necessarily connected with age... but yes, I can see the "problem."
...I'm one of those people, actually... heh... I've BEEN the problem for several older men in ways, since I got all quizzy and stuff on them.
awww....I feel touched. Seriously, though I see the points you make, although I don't fully understand them. Life itself for us younger guys is so temporary...at least for me. What I mean by this is that it is constantly changing, and I try to live semester to semester. But...as I enter my final year in undergrad....I have to look forward to the far future...to what i want to do. And...as I am quickly realizing...what I want to do and what I like and love are two totally different things. Who knows where I will be in 10 years? You just have to get through it...with friends. *HUGS*
Thanks for a really great post...you articulated a lot of my own personal thoughts & feeling regarding the gay world particular the younger crowd. Like you I waited until I was older to come out. I use to regret it but now looking back I’m really glad I waited. There was a time I felt I wasn’t able to really to connect with others mostly because I use to think I missed out on some things but not anymore. At 37, I have a lot of younger friends that say "you just seem to have it together". I just tell them no not really I'm just older and a little wiser. It's not to say I don't get annoyed or upset at times I just tend not let everything bother me. The one thing I try not to do is judge and simply try to accept everyone for they are and what they.
