    Growing up I always admired the guys that were Gay and flamboyant. They always seemed so confident in who they were. I could never have been that confident.

    If for a day I could be that alter ego I think it would be eye opening. Not to have any inhibitions about who I am. Problem is over the years I've become me, which isn't a bad thing at all. I have great friends and a wonderful family.

    Anyone else feel the same.

    Hey 50ishandout,

    I have a mixed reaction to your post.

    On the one hand, you appear to be confident about who you are as a person. For gays our age, this is super critical for being authentic and finding a partner who can honor us for that.

    At the same time, the fantasy of flamboyance holds a certain seductive hold over me. Perhaps a night out at one of Boston's gay clubs is just the thing ...

    Best

    I'm more confident than I've ever been with who I am. Sienna. I've just always been envious of the flamboyant Gays that never hid who they were. I don't think i could pull off a night as a flamboyant gay.

    That said, I respect those that are. Everyone as they are, as long as they are happy.

    Hey...

    Not every straight guy is John Wayne either.

    Insecurity is not unique. :slight_smile:

    Do I want to be able to hug, kiss, walk hand in hand with my boyfriend anywhere... Yes. But sadly straights are chimps and LGBT bonobos.

    Chimps attack unknown while bonobos are lovers. Who wants to risk attack?
