Gay Cynicism & Bitterness

My favorite question of the month. It always amazes me when I get letters like this. This guy wants an answer that he can only get by reading his letter and asking, “What kind of guy would write a letter like this?”

And by that, I mean if YOU got a letter like that, what would you think of the guy? Would you think he lives in a world that oppresses him with cynicism and despair or that he brings cynicism and despair to the world?

I don’t know, what do you think?

First let me say that your column is the only reason that I pick up a fag rag. You are hysterical, insulting, and (usually) right on the money. I was curious what you would think of my negative opinion regarding the gay community at large. I’ve lived here for 20 years. I arrive an innocent, with mid-western values. I was eaten alive.

I have finally concluded that men, especially gay men, are nothing but little boys who refuse to grow up. They are selfish pricks who can’t keep their dicks in their pants. The vast majority are incapable of maintaining a healthy relationship and are in need of feeding their egos. They thrive on hook-ups and deception.

I’ve met guys in their 50’s that are still train wrecks. It seems that nobody learns from their mistakes. I decided, years ago, that men are not worth the bother. They’re either alcoholics, meth heads, or lost souls. Most of them cheat. All my life, guys wanted me for my looks and/or my big dick (yes, they still do).

My honesty and integrity was never important. To all you single guys in your early 50’s– concentrate on your own self worth. Maintain your heath and body for your own gratification. Face facts, the Love Boat already sank. Friends are forever (well, maybe not in South Florida), lovers are not. Nice guys finish last, so stop being so trusting. Get a dog or a cat instead.

Bitter, Jaded, and Happy At Last
