Gays, if you’re still dating around, be aware of your date’s childhood. Because what he went through growing up is a big part of him now. Example:
If he used to be fat/ugly, and he’s fine as hellll now (coz of gym, surgery or products), he will always see himself as gay/ugly so he needs constant validation from you, your friend, your friend’s cousin, everyone on Insta, possibly the whole universe.
If he comes from a broken family (read: divorce), he will constantly have trust issues. He won’t trust you enough that you’ll be there for him. He can’t even fathom the thought of you not leaving him. If it’s too good to be true, he will leave you first.
If he comes from a religious family, he will have a monstrous sexual appetite, thanks to years of sexual repression. He will perfect the art of putting on an act. Conflicted but assertive, he can compartmentalise feelings well.
If he was feminine or flamboyant and his parents let him be, he will be a centrepiece of any party. But if his parents forced him to be more manly, he will spend most of his life loathing feminine men and subscribe to Masc4Masc.
If he was a Mummy’s boy, we will probably still be Mummy’s boy. Sadly, Mummy will never acknowledge that he’s gay, but that’s okay. He loves his Mummy anyway. So here’s a tip: get close to his Mummy!
If he is the eldest of his siblings, he will assume the guardian role in his circle of friends. Once you’re close enough to him, he will be your go-to call. But once you cross him, you ded.
If he was a high achiever in school, he has probably toned down by a lot and prefers an easy-going lifestyle. Imagine a house full of plants. He draws sometimes. He stills works hard but he relaxes harder. Sex is lazy n sensual with these mofos.
If he comes from a privileged family, he will be more fixated with an important cause. Sure, he will have validation issues here and there, but his life is a mission. Help him out, get interested, be part of his journey.
If he comes from a nouveau rich family, he will buy affection or love with tacky brands like Prada and LV. Or expensive getaways. Instead of soaking in the moment, he will take Insta Stories & pictures, thousands of them. English usually nots goods.
If he is from a Kampung, he will be drawn to a gay community with similar upbringing. They will sing Siti and Ramlah Ram during Karaoke sesh. There’s always a Mak Ayam that will make sure everyone is safe. Sadly, this group is only transitional.
If he has always imagined himself to be a man of the world, he will only pick friends he deem worthy to elevate his status as an A-lister. He lives in his own bubble, and has the gumption to follow through. Look at him in the eye - he is always looking at something else.
If he grew up having crushes on straight boys, and he will hold on to those friendship to this very day. His only consolation is to have sessions where twinks serve him like a daddy. He loves sports like football. He resorts to Meth to finally get in touch with his gay side.
If he has a robust but also very homophobic family, he is likely to stay alone. He might have dildos in the drawers. Probably lives in a studio. Sex comes and goes to him. Smokes a lot. His family will never know where he lives coz it’s his sex dungeon.
