I’m 24M, gay/mlm, introvert, and kinda chubby (btm).

Lately I’ve been wondering… may naa-attract ba talaga sa chubby guys? 😭

I feel like most guys prefer fit or skinny, so minsan I overthink if I even have a chance in dating. I don’t really go out much and I’m pretty shy when it comes to guys I like.

Honestly I don’t even know how dating starts for people like me, or what falling in love even feels like since I’ve never experienced it.

Any chubby gay guys here na may success sa dating? Or anyone na may advice?

Hi. I’m 24(M)and gay.

Back in my college days, I had straight male friends. One time, I got tampo with them because they left me behind and went home without me.

We usually went home together, so after that I didn’t talk to them or interact like I used to.

Then after a while, they suddenly noticed and asked me what happened, like they had no idea I was upset the whole time.

Is this normal? Why do some guys seem so unaware of these kinds of things?

Hi. 24 (M), MLM, introvert, NBSB.

Real talk, sometimes murag super desperate ko for love. Kanang gusto lang ko ug someone nga mo care, mo chat, mo cuddle, and just… pili-on ko.

Pero naa pud koy social anxiety so lisod kaayo ko mo open up sa tao. Sa dating apps, ma-overwhelm ko kay feeling nako ang uban kay super confident na, experienced na, while ako murag bag-o pa kaayo sa tanan.

Maka feel ko murag stuck ko—gusto ko mag love life pero hadlok pud ko mo try.

Normal ra ba ni?

Hi. This happened 2 years ago and honestly I still can’t fully move on from it.

I’m 24, MLM, introverted, and NBSB. Back then I tried using dating apps because I felt lonely and desperate for connection.

I met this guy and we hooked up at his apartment. It was my first time doing anything with someone. He taught me how to french kiss, we cuddled, tried different positions, and we did it twice.

After that, I messaged him saying I liked him and that I missed his cuddles and being with him. Then he suddenly told me, “I’m sorry, I’m entertaining someone else.”

I cried so much after that. I know it was just a hookup, but for me it felt more than that because it was my first experience being intimate with someone.

Sometimes I still think about it and wonder if I was stupid for getting attached.

Do I even have the right to feel heartbroken over something like that?

I’m 24, mlm, introverted, and NBSB.

Sometimes I wonder what falling in love actually feels like.

I’ve never really had someone like me back in that way, so sometimes I think maybe love just isn’t meant for me. I know that sounds sad, but it’s something I think about a lot lately.

Dating also feels hard as an introvert. Sometimes everything feels too fast or too surface-level.

I just wanna ask people who’ve experienced it…

What does falling in love feel like?

Did anyone else think they’d end up alone before it finally happened?
