The adventure continues

Its the new year and I wanted to start a new thread on my continuing adventure.
One thing that I have become aware of and comfortable with is the fact that gay men are much concerned with their looks. I don't say this as a negative simply a fact.
In my own case since coming out totally I have lost almost 25 lbs,( never was overweight but now I am really lean), except for my head removed body hair, sport a tattoo, earring, changed my wardrobe right down to my underwear and started to take much better care of my face and skin. Frankly at first thought this was way too gay, then came to the realization that men do need to take better care of their appearance. Perhaps the gay community was only the first to realize it.
No question gay men judge other men on looks but so does the rest of the world. I think its time men step up and acknowledge it. I feel much better now that I take an interest in how I look, what I wear ,etc.
Case in point over the holiday my BF and I went to a gay resort. My BF got me to wear a thong bathing suit for the first time. At first I said absolutely not however he wore me down. After some initial discomfort I grew more at ease as I found myself pleased by the admiring glances I got from some very hot guys. My BF is somewhat younger and it is exciting to think that from all levels including physical I can keep him interested. In my straight days I am pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten those glances from anyone. I am glad now that I had started to take the extra time to look better!
I encourage everyone to re-evaluate their total person!
