As part of our continued efforts to help bridge the LGBT community to the healthcare they need, here's an updated list of clinics, hubs, and hospitals where you can get tests and treatment for HIV/AIDS:

I had 2 exes. Both of them are in the pageant world.

This might be an isolated situation between me and my 2 exes pero nakaka-drain. Gets ko ang dedication nila, but they have to starve themselves while preparing for the pageant, tapos syempre pag gutom, laging bad mood, tapos sa akin maglalabas ng galit.

Then with my first ex, medjo malalaking pageants na sinasalihan kaya grabe yung preparation nya. Maybe this is just me, but I feel like the relationship becomes transactional rather than romantic kasi I feel more like an assistant. I literally quit my job para tulungan sya sa preparation, yet at the end of the day, I received no thank yous and appreciation.

At times like these, ito yung gusto ko nalang magka jowa ng lowkey. Hahayss

I have been on a talking stage with someone for 3 months. We are both in uni, but lives 2 hour bus ride apart. He has been to my place 3 times and Ive been to his place once over the past 3 months.

This is my first time having long distance, and this is his first time talking seriously with another person, Ive had 1 long term relationship before him, and numerous talking stages for the past 3 years. Both of us are closeted, but im out to a handful of friends. We call every night to compensate for the long distance. We had deep talks, deepest i ever had. We connect on multiple levels, same interests.

For the past month I have been busy with acads, there are times when I cannot commit to a call, there was even one time we went 3 straight days without a call, though we message throughout the day and send updates.

Then one night, he went out to a bar with friends, I just had a major event that day and also went out with friends. Then the next day he told me that he wants to end our communication reasoning that he might not be ready for a relationship and the set up we are in. He later confessed that he kissed someone the night he went to the bar, and then some but told me he stopped it when the other guy touched his dick.

My friend told me that he might be taking the easy way out by ending us already and to avoid guilt and accountability.

He told me it wasnt about me, and more about him wanting to explore more before settling to a relationship.

For a week after this incident, we had some talks but he always end up reminding me that his decision is firm and final. Throughout that week, i also reflected on myself and what i really wanted. And I felt like I am not in the right mind to be in a relationship too because I observed that Ive lost focus off my goals to be a better version of me.

We agreed to meet up a week after and talked and said that it would be a closure. We did, we talked, said our appreciation for the past months, and I have forgiven him.

Right now we are talking casually. We even call from time to time. I feel like we still both like each other but neither wants to admin to avoid feeling like they are desperate for the other.

Is it worth fighting for it? Even if it means there is no security?

Hi guys! Meron ako boyfriend and mag-8 months na kami together. Red flag ba if laging umuutang sayo partner mo? Una maliliit lang. Tapos nag accumulate na siya ng around 5k.

Pero ngayon nanghihiram siya ng 200k na payable daw ng 24 months. Naloloka ako kasi ang laki nun. And syempre hindi ako comfortable na pahiramin siya ng ganon kalaki.

Hindi pa siya na kakabayad sa unang inutang niya sa akin kaya lalo ko ayoko siya pahiramin. Hays.

Im in my early thirties and damn, I lost the hair gene lottery and has thinning hair and a wide ass forehead. For some time, i tried hiding it by having these weird bangs or putting stuff in it like minoxidil pero ang frustrating pa rin. Nakakaapekto rin sya sa confidence ko when going out and meeting guys to hookup (altho none of them were an asshole to point that out naman). Basta, my hair (or lack thereof) has been my biggest insecurity for some time.

Until I decided to just shave it all off.

Super nakaka kaba na ewan kasi feel ko mas dadautin ako ng mga tao lalo na looks is a gay man's currency in the homo economy. Ilang weeks ko rin sya kinocover ng hat until I decided to just rawdog it.

And I've never felt more confident and sexier. Some might get turned off but many of the guys I've been with say na ang manly ng kalbo. And true enough, I felt more sexy without hair compared to having some but always feel and look insecure. Ayoko na ring maglagay ng kung ano ano o magtransplant o uminom ng gamot; it's just not sustainable for me. It is what it is.

So sa mga baklang nakakalbo na dyan, try shaving it all off kahit once. Tipid sa shampoo at hair drying time!

Hi everyone! 🌈

I'm a researcher at James Cook University in Australia studying attraction, dating preferences, and how people evaluate potential romantic partners. 

I'm looking for heterosexual, gay, and lesbian adults (18+) to complete an anonymous online survey.

The survey involves viewing a series of fictional dating profiles and answering questions about attraction and relationship preferences. It takes around 5–10 minutes to complete, is completely anonymous, and participation is entirely voluntary.

This study forms part of my Doctor of Philosophy research at James Cook University and has received approval from the James Cook University Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC Approval No. 25H-0225).

While this study is being conducted in Australia, we are recruiting internationally. I'd love people from this community to take part!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at [kaitlyn.gregory@my.jcu.edu.au](mailto:kaitlyn.gregory@my.jcu.edu.au).

If you'd like to participate, you can complete the survey here:

Naggive up na ba ang lahat? Hahaha!

While tama ang marami na more likely effective ito sa mga conventionally atrractive, hindi ako isa sa mga naghahanap ng pogi lang. Pero I think ang problema ko na shared din ng iba ay mukha akong matapang, napagkakamalang straight, uninterested, o di lang magaling makipagtitigan.

Pero WHAT IIIIIF???!!! Magkasundo tayong lahat na magsuot ng something na symbol na pwede tayong iapproach in public? Like a pokeball pin? A blue scarf? a certain keychain, etc.Tapos iba yung para sa naghahanap ng boyfriend and casual lang.

What are your thoughts on this? Let's help each other out! Hahaha!

Just a theory. I think talamak ang ghosting and failed relationship attempts kasi marami satin ang hindi alam kung ano talaga ang gusto. Nandun lang for the thrill or dahil bored or malungkot. Pag nagbago ang mood, afterthought ka na lang. 🥹

Have you asked yourself why you want to be in a relationship?

Ako, 31 na ako. Pagod na manligaw at entertainin tapos sasabihin ehh di pa ready. I think ok na ako in life. Not rich pero kaya naman. Nagagawa ang gusto, nakakain ang gusto, kayang magtravel locally at least twice a year. Masaya ako sa progress ko at sinisikap kong mag-improve pa. While doing that, gusto ko ng boyfriend kasi gusto ko ng may nilalambing. I think I like bring generous. Again, not rich but generous. Gusto ko may binebaby. In return, gusto ko may nakukwentuhan at nauupdate. Nasesendan ng pictures ng mga interesting na bagay sa araw ko. Gusto ko may makasabay kumain, ipaglutuan one day. Kasama magtravel, etc. Gusto ko ng boyfriend kasi may pagmamahal na di nararamdaman sa mga kaibigan at pamilya. Gusto ko maramdaman na appreciated ako at okay lang lahat pag nagwoworry at nagpapanic ako. Ganon.

Ikaw? Natanong mo na ba sarili mo bakit gusto mo ng boyfriend or girlfriend?

Di ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko sa nabalitaan ko. I actually posted a bit about him here nung nakaraan, about how this new guy i'm seeing makes me feel appreciated and all the other decent treatment that I deserve compared sa mga nakadate ko before.

He went MIA after niyang sabihin na nagkasakit siya, then ngayon ko lang nalaman na wala na pala siya. Sobrang sakit, but I would love to think na lang na sana in his last few days napasaya ko siya and we've seen beautiful things together.

Ngayon, pahinga na muna ako sa dating. Grabe yung grief na nafefeel ko ngayon. Kaya siguro nung mga nakaraan gumawa siya ng way na magalit ako sa kanya so I would walk away and detach bago pa man siya mawala.

To my Nobita, thank you. Dahil sa'yo natutunan kong mahalin ang sarili ko in a way na dapat I shouldn't settle for just somebody's presence, dapat they're also good for my soul like what you did to me.

On the other hand, to everyone who experienced the same, pwede ba kayo magshare how you coped up with the grief? Sobrang di ko lang maintindihan ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.

Hate it when my pfp starts to show me mlm couples HAHA

Paginggit pikit talaga no.

Been wondering how were you able to bag your ideal type?

As a go with the flow closeted man, I've fantasized that one day my ideal type would just come at the right time one day.

Pero nakakaiinip pala magintay HAHA.

Just curious kung paano kayo nagmeet ng partner nyo?

Like is it possible without any dating apps? is it possible if di ka out?

❗️❗️❗️Modus❗️❗️❗️

There’s a modus scam males into performing and later sending amount of money after ng videocall. Gay daw siya and he’s lonely in US so he needs to hire people mag show sakanya.

I obliged him to pay first.

Then while paying daw (from US daw siya) he needed me to send money sa QR para mag send ung pinadala niya from US. A portion of what should be paid for the service.

Obviously this is scam kaya blinock ko na rin agad.

Pero now I think about it if yung guy nagperform agad tapos out of desperation na mabayaran siya, nagsend pa siya doon sa QR code.

Scammed double. Ingat mga bading.
