Advice for a Straight guy just looking to interact with more gay guys?

I know you guys aren’t some alien race, and I’m sure I’ve interacted with more gay guys in my life than I realize.

But as I get older I also notice that I have had no gay friends, and really no connection or insight into your world.

So basically I’m just reaching out and looking for advice for maybe where I can go, or how I can go about explicitly meeting guys to broaden my horizons and just get a better variety of people in my life!

Edit: not in a bad way, I’m not explicitly looking for gay friends, I don’t care about your sexuality to be my friend lol, I just wanna help become a more well-rounded person so I’d like to connect with more gay people just overall.

Umm, thanks for the advice!

Do you think men with similar backgrounds (same generation, similar environment, similar appearance, etc.) tend to live through broadly similar experiences, or do you think everyone’s path is much more unique? Why?

I feel like Reddits constantly saying one thing, but reacting a different way on this topic.

On one hand every time someone asks a question maybe about some ideal, opinion or preference they are met with the response of “oh everyone’s different, you just do you, we aren’t a monolith”.

But when someone voices their “different” experience that actually knee-jerk reaction is “you’re lying, that didn’t happen, downvote, you must be X,Y,Z instead of A,B,C,”

Juts kinda wondering what you guys feel about this?

Hey, m36 I’m just a straight guy that realized I’ve never really even talked to any gay guys, let alone had any as friends… so this is just trying to open myself up to meeting some new people!

Like I said, just looking to talk to some new people… I’m kinda into everything a little bit, pretty open book too! If you had to peg me as anything I guess just former jock that’s a little on the goofy side!

Sorry if this is for strictly gay guys, don’t mean to infringe on your space!

Straight guy just checking in.

What’s up?! I don’t think I’ve hung out with or even talked to nearly as many gay guys as I probably should’ve by this time in my life!

But yea, how’s it going? Anyone watching the World Cup? What are your plans for the 4th?
