Lots of hot guys but geeze that super short hair makes a lot of these guys look really old even though they may not be.
dgz
@ggreen: i was just thinking that! is one stripe of hair down the middle of a bald head the new gay faux-hawk?
Val
Number 19…ya’ll look deprived of food…can I buy you three a cheeseburger?
stevenelliot
fuck the food. number 19 has bathing suit problems.

I have two comments:
1) Ben a.k.a. “Blu Kennedy” is still looking good. Love that little red headed gogo boy/porn star.
2) Someone needs to tell the guy in the black hat that it is not necessary to stick his tongue out in ever picture. It reminds me of the Budweiser What’s up guys?

The party and weekend were a lot of fun. Yes, there were a lot of hot guys, but you can find them anywhere in NYC or FI.
jwalker666
I dont get why if your under 150lbs you need a sandwich. If it is your personal preference, then I get that, but alot of people, including me think skinny dudes are HOT! (well as long as their face isn’t jacked up)!
Stevie B
Ugh.. what a bunch of catty queens. The same people that post these bitchy ass comments are the reason I’d prefer hang out with straight guys rather than self-centered, holier-than-thou, vane assholes like yourselves. Although I do agree with stevenelliot.
Alexander
God, you can probably cut the crystal meth smoke with a knife at that party.
smbitches
@jwalker666: Thank you.. you echo my sentiments exactly. Being a skinny ass guy myself, I know a lot of guys that like `em skinny…as long as the face isn’t jacked up. I get so sick of people telling me to eat or saying that I’m looking a slightly Lohan-ish…Although I gave up the booger sugar a few years ago, I’ve always been skinny, and no matter how much I eat, it’s not going to change anytime soon.
smbitches
@Alexander: hahaha..aint that the truth!

Looks like a lot of fun. I liked pictures 7, 8, 12, 13, 25, 30, 34, 40, and 41.

They look like a bunch of narcissistic queens. The body obsession is palpable. Besides, rippling six packs over chicken legs don’t really look good.

The brothers are represented at Fire Island…but why not the gay right rights groups?…
alan brickman
hit a gym then if you don’t like this scene….
SouLKid
Sorry boys i only see Kelly Rowland. love her 🙂

“The brothers are represented at Fire Island…but why not the gay right rights groups?…”
Actually, the party weekend benefited the Task Force. but hey, don’t let facts get in the way of your petty jealousy.
Ian
@jason: Absolutely agree, it looks like you have to submit to a tape measurer to make sure you don’t exceed 2% body fat to be able to get in. I hope their 6-packs keep them warm and give their lives meaning when they are in their 40-50-60’s etc., oh wait, investing in family and stable friends do that. You know the #1 thing I remember from living in San Francisco? The pathetic seniors lurking around the bus stops trying to score with men in their 20’s, I’m not exaggerating, due to no doubt being just like the men at Fire Island, more obsessed with sex and preening about their looks than investing in their personalities and real relationships that are not incumbant on how much crystal meth you can smoke to be able to tolerate the vapid conversations that no doubt abound.
Allan C
@Ian: totally agree as well…besides, as someone in their mid-20’s who’s been there and done that…not sure what the appeal is anymore to parties like this and pumping up your body (seriously…the circuit scene isn’t as good as it was 5 years ago)…that and the fact that most of these guys probably couldn’t run 5 miles to save their lives. All about aesthetics, I suppose. But seriously…can someone toss the skinny’s a few chicken wings and some fries?
anonymous
@Ian: Wow, judgemental much? That is some hateful speech about people you have only seen pictures of. So if people take care of their bodies they automatically have no stable friends or family and do crystal meth?
Ian
@anonymous: I’m not being judgemental in the sense that I’ve never been around men in those types of venues in the past, as I have. I stand behind what I said in that most of those types of circuit type social scenes the men have all the maturity of 14yr old girls, “OMG, that’s my song!!” and the judgemental cruelty of, well, bitchy muscle queens. Also the drug use is far too rampant and most of the conversations I listened to or interacted with truly were quite vapid coming from adults who sounded like teenagers.
I’ve been there and done that, so I am speaking from experience and I feel I have grown up but the types who keep going to those things simply for the most part haven’t, as their priorities are about narcissism, sex and drugs and conversation of little import. I am saying that when they get older will they still be trying to win social approval with their looks in a community centered on the youthful 20 something, or will they be trying to have meaningful relationships and possibly wanting to have families (of whatever configuration) of their own?

@Allan C: What about the dancing? Isn’t that fun? When I read comments like this I always think, this guy doesn’t like to dance. Because if you do, you can ignore all the b.s.
hardmannyc
“I stand behind what I said in that most of those types of circuit type social scenes the men have all the maturity of 14yr old girls, “OMG, that’s my song!!””
Most of them are successful professionals in their real lives. If they want to be silly girls once in a while, what’s the problem? You would have been standing there tsking at the “girls” singing “We are the Stonewall girls” at a certain riot 40 years ago.

haha. Major DBs.

I’m not clicking next 50 times.

@hardmannyc: LOL I love, love, LOVE to dance (I take hip hop dancing lessons on the side) and in the end, try going to these things while NOT on drugs…same old THUMPA THUMPA beats…nothing creative goes into remixes or circuit songs anymore!! Peter Rauhofer, Offer Nissim, Ana Paula, etc. are so overrated now that I have started to delete songs that are so hard to find from my iTunes and gym jam playlists since I can’t stand hearing the same beat for 10 minutes. Even when I was really into CP, I would literally dance the night away and not cared about sketchy people around me or BS drama…but now it’s just seriously all the same…
What WOULD be fun is a retro circuit party night 😉
Allan C
@hardmannyc: Also, I just see it for the reality that it is – gay men who are either doing a lot of necessary “catch up” on things about the scene that they think they missed and people who want to shake up their otherwise successful, professional lives. It’s true what you say about the majority of them being successful at what they do but that success usually means monotony and boredom. I know lawyers, accountants, project managers, etc. that are rich and do tons of drugs on the side because they are so bored with their lives. I just think it’s bullshit and unnecessary…there are a gazillion other things to do than CP and go to the gym…
gollygeegaygoy
alot of people who take drugs and go loco in their youth do not turn into desperados at bus stops, leering and dribbling at twinklets…alot actually mature and improve…but to be honest i would rather be dribbling at a bus stop, if that was my inclination, rather than be force fed happiness on someone elses terms. also i must say it would be nice on these sights to see some good looking happy guys, who just have everyday untrained bodies.
Tony
Seriously though, what do they do with the fat guys who want to attend? Shoot them and burn them in flaming piles? Hey, maybe that’s how Fire Island got its name…
BOQB
@hardmannyc: It’s the one’s who are completely stuck on themselves that make it bad for everyone.
You know the type. Always on the floor dancing by themselves and never leaving with anyone but always showing off their abs and ping-pong ball size biceps and breaded buns.
Talk to one of them and see what lonely children they are. Many of them have basement apartments in their parents house.
Phoenix (You'll Pry The BeDazzler From My Cold Limp Hand)
Jesus Muthfuckin’ Christ! Why is everyone so freakin’ hypercritical? All I saw was a bunch of hot guys having a great time. I wouldn’t kick any of those guys out of my bed for eating crackers.
My only regret: Not enough ‘brothers’ or ‘bears’ or ‘daddies’. What I saw was all good, but diversity would be even better.

I was just punking the jealous before they got to be jealous…I can name three charities beneffiting from this weekend..can most of the jealous queeens on here say the same?…
benlayvey
The Gods! I’m a chubby nerd, is this what awaits me in Gay America? Seems I may have to overachieve to get laid, a rather scary thought really.
James Gum
If it makes you feel better to think that these guys will all be miserable old queens, alone, and desperate one day then more power to you. Perhaps it will make you so happy that you’ll be one less jealous queen spreading negative energy on the internet.
I’m 40, have zero interest in younger guys, never have, even when I was 20. I attended many circuit parties from the late 80’s up till about 2001. I outgrew them but have no problem with people of any age doing whatever the fuck it is they want to do with their life.
Mind your own business and don’t worry about what others are doing. It only makes you look like a jealous unhappy queen.
TheInsider
Fire Island still exists?
MissUnderstood
a lot of them look ugly and dumb. an the follies of youth.
alan brickman
don’t be so obvious and jealous…

@jason:
I did notice that a lot of them have incredibly developed upper bodies but very underdeveloped lower bodies. They do have nice-looking physiques from the waist-up, but overall they are very unbalanced. Good observation!
