Default Hi peeps

Hey people,I'm really bad in introducing myself so bear with me,I'll try my best to make a juicy introductory post haha.

Well first of all,you guys can call me Pat. Just turned 21 in past September and currently working on my master degree. I love to jog as it gives me a sense of freedom and it also help me to keep in shape. Used to play badminton but I stopped ever since I entered university due to the expensive sports center membership.I'm a big dog lover,might consider volunteering in RSPCA if my summer vacation career application is unsuccessful.I'm a semi-vegetarian,well the fact that I consider myself as 'semi-' is because I still eat meats and enjoy them,but with winter coming,I won't be able to jog that often due to freezing temperature,I need to cut down on my meat intake; say once a week to keep myself in shape. Gladly open to any advice on being vegetarian )

Speaking about sexual orientation,I'm closeted gay and have never tell anyone that I'm one before due to lack of gut and insecurity. 14 was when I am very sure about my sexual orientation, thanks to all those raging hormone at that age..One of the reasons I joined this community is due to it's discreetness and hopefully no sex-hunger wolfs that are waiting to prowl on their preys and definitely,looking for some support in my group of sexual orientation. I would consider myself as straight-acting gay besides the fact that I have very slight feminine voice(which I was born with it and tbh,I am not very fond with it but ..what can I do?) Most of my friends doesn't have any suspicion on my sexual orientation except a few of them.

I think that's all I will introduce myself,I rarely unveil so much info in the public. Want to know more about me?Let's be friend first :P No sex-hunger wolfs please,I'm seriously tired of those tards.

Much loves,
Patrick

Siya namkela nonke! It means Welcome in Xhosa. Random, but that's how I like it.
Wow, that sounded...wrong. Let me try again.

Glad to hear that,really.I'm disgusted by those kind peoples,they are the reasons why gay peoples got all those bad names.

It's hard to come out from the closet.I just don't have the gut to tell people the true me,fearing of all those horrific possibilities.

Welcome. I agree with the sentiment about the wolves on other sites- it's one of the main reasons I came here. I couldn't go anywhere else without being hit on by guys ages 14-24 (and one oddball guy in his 30s), no joke. I remember I was once hit on by a 21-year old when I was 15.

So glad we don't have any of that here!
