The Internet’s Best Advice Ever For Gay Boys Desperate For a Boyfriend
“It’s like getting your period: It happens at different times for different people.” Ah, the sage advice of YouTuberity Luan Legacy, who’s clearly an expert on the zeitgeist of single tweenage gays. But Luan has such wisdom! So much wisdom, in fact, that he has to say it so fast or he’ll never be able to share the new Web 2.0 dating testament.
You are probably going to have to watch this clip a few times to absorb all of Luan’s suggestions. But it boils down to this: Stop bitching, it’ll happen. The right guy (or gal) will enter your life when you are ready for it. Because far too often, you think you want a significant other, and then you realize you miss the single life far too much. And you aren’t a Tiger.
Now raise your hand if you want to give Luan an AMEN.

Love to meet this guy but I would have to take a handful of speed tabs just to keep up with him. Or dowse his drinks with downers. I like fast thinkers but this coyote is way ADD.

Basically, it all boils down to…
If you can’t love yourself don’t expect anyone else to love you. If you need a man to complete you then ask yourself why you aren’t already complete. A good man should be like a good purse: a very useful accessory.

I really can’t believe the amount of overly macho bullshit derived from this thread. Seriously, you guys don’t like him because he is a little feminine (trust me, this is just a little feminine, I’ve seen much more feminine men) and you feel the need to bitch about it and vent that. Seriously!?!
How can you make the claim that there is a gay community when you guys are willing to throw anyone that you don’t see was A-gay under the bus?
You all better be ashamed…very very ashamed.

Spot on and adorable. I have the exact same conversation with a younger buddy of mine all the time. He’s constantly whining about wanting a man. “Dude… you’re a senior in high school, you JUST turned 18, you’re an adorable twink, you’ve had one boyfriend already, and you’re about to go off to college in Chicago. AND you’re heavily involved in theater. Trust me, it’ll happen.” He whines about it more than I possibly could…and I’m nearly 30 and have never had a serious relationship.

@Afro Yes… yes you are. If you bothered reading people’s opposition to repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, you’d realize that they only know flaming queeny gay people, and not average gay people. They think flaming Cameron or neurotic Mitchell on “Modern Family” – “Modern Jesters-to-make-Heteros-Feel-Comfortable” is more like it. Every queen needs her spotlight and that flame is what much of America sees through the appalling lense of Hollywood. Clowns. So reminding them that the average gay person is not flaming, and not a queen, is important to counteract the buffoonery of YouTube-wanna-be-celebs (for example, anyone remember the “Leave Britney alone!” cry-baby) and patronizing, bastardish-Hayes-Code-creating tv/movie producers.

@Danny,
Man you are right on. What gays don’t realize while they are sashaying across the media, is that they are a laughing stock throw away fag to most, and producers cash in on queeny fake gestations which gets tagged to out entire community.
But I am seeing the tide change with more hot even REAL gay charactors coming to tv (shameless – 90210) in that I am finding the balance coming along.
Yay!

@GetBalance:
So fem gay guys aren’t real? Does that mean that manly lesbians don’t exist either? And here I thought they existed. Damn, I should probably check into an insane asylum…

@Franky: For me, it’s not that he’s fem. It’s that he’s so over the top fem/black gurl, head waving, finger pointing, etc. I never took anyone who acted that way on Ricky Lake or Maury or Springer. As I’m sure most people who look at the antics on that show won’t.
Now, maybe it’s how he was brought up and he really is exactly like that and is not affected and it’s not an act. No matter, I can’t undestand the meaning that he’s trying to convey. It sounds like gibberish. He comes across as a caricature.
I forgot who said this but it’s been referenced to from several people and I agree, you can put the act on but when you need/want to be serious, then speak serious. Tone it down. Sort of how Tyra and Oprah turn that on and off at times. It’s “gurl” when they are speaking to their friends, but it’s all proper when they are speaking to the president, someone or of something of importance.

Not sure why gay boys think they can throw around the word bitch like they own it. They don’t. Stop saying bitch after every word my gay friends. It’s not cool and women are not fans.

@scott ny’er: Scott, no one can adequately represent all gay folks everywhere. If “over the top” guys make you uncomfortable make a hyper masculine gay dating advice video and post that. Wear plaid and build a cabin while you talk to the camera. Isn’t that a better alternative than stifling people who make you feel uncomfortable?

@Charlie: I’m not uncomfortable and I never said that. I turned off his, over the top diatribe after 14 secs. But maybe he did have something of importance to convey, I wouldn’t be able to tell, because he rambled it and spit it out like he was on crack.
Maybe, I’m not the audience he’s trying for, so fine, he can go after the Ricky Lake/Springer audience. I’m just saying, if you want to reach a larger audience and be taken seriously, Miss. Thang needs to turn it down.
In addition, I am making a comment on his video that he deemed to put out there for everyone to see. That was his intention. So he can share his voice. If he wants to be in the spotlight, then I can freely state why I think the way he is conveying his message may not be the best, nor enjoyable. I am not stifling his message, his message was never gotten.
If you dig it, super. He’s all yours. Don’t stifle my comment.

@Franky Fem guys are fine and tho im not into drags or queeny types, i have nothing against them. Just looking for a more complete collage of personalities in the media gay guy spectrum. A bit impatient here I guess.
When I say “real” I mean people who the majority can take seriously, which punchline queens do not get from the gen public, tho they do get from some.
Bottom line is we will accept everyone on the gay behavioral spectrum in 200 years but while we are in the trenches etc . . .
I think this guy is funny and cute, but I do admit I smilingly shake my head while watching.

Of course, he may simply be a straight guy lampooning gay guys. You know, like the straight guys who create gay online profiles, set up “dates”, all to simply rob gay guys. For every nice and genuine straight guy, there’s at least one straight guy who is f*cked-in-the-head evil.

@Obama DID say DADT would happen on his watch… (John From England): Sure, he has a point, but this particular piece is from US to US. How many str8s do you think re watching this??? and even if so, it’s like eavesdropping. Can’t we have fun without looking over our shoulder and getting all paranoind about who may be listening? Lighten up and enjoy the life a moment! All too soon you’ll be back to drudge-and-stoop, but you just may remember Luan and smile a little.

@justiceontherocks: For some reason certain young ghey d00dz think they know all about vaginas. Maybe they get over it? Anyway, I’m a dyke, and I think he’s funny.

Wow. Luan talks fast. I kind of got a headache, but he’s right. When people feel the need to have others approval, we aren’t true to ourselves. I’m “masculine” and strangers probably wouldn’t assume I was gay-but that’s who I am…and I would never put on an act just so “Joe Six Pack-Average American” isn’t offended! I hope that we can achieve equality without having to be something that we’re not. The gay community is made up of all kinds of people: rich, poor, black, white, butch, fem, etc etc. No one ever said we have to all be the same-embrace the diversity.

Oh, I just thought of a great new app for youtube…it will slow down the video and sound a couple notches on all queen-posted-videos. Then all the people who don’t like fast talking “sissy fags” can listen to them in a normal tone and pace…problem solved! I bet that will clear the way for gay marriage in no time.

Jeez… annoying but true.
