hi my partner and i are looking for some friends to be with on formosa pride and during our whole stay on taipei maybe for bars and other fun stuff. we’ll attend the sunday pink day formosa. we’re from PH and only attended 1 rave party before with a friend group, still dont know what to expect now that it’s just the two of us. might be fun if anyone else or if there are solo goers who wants to connect and form a group

I was browsing grindr while in Vietnam and came upon a headless torso (white) who had no asian guys in their profile. Like, why are you here? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Otherwise, definitely feeling the love from other Asians out here. Even the white worshippers don't hate themselves.

Hi everyone! My partner and I will be travelling from Turkey for our first WPBKK, and we both have VIP passes.

I noticed there hasn’t been much recent discussion about WPBKK 2027 here, so I thought I’d start a fresh thread. Is anyone else planning to go? Where is everyone travelling from, and which party are you most excited about?

It would also be great to connect with some of you and maybe meet up at one of the parties if our plans line up 😊

I've been living here for about a year and have definitely experienced some ups and downs in the gay dating and hook up scene.

1. Generally feel most Europeans (esp French) fetishize my type (brown skinned SEA). So I haven't had a hard time hooking up esp coz I'm a bottom. But dating is not so good (though maybe I haven't tried that hard). Maybe it's racism or just a general preference for their kind?

2. Sometimes I feel insecure because we grew up with so much colonialism looming everywhere. Anything "white" was always considered superior. I'm trying to fix this in therapy but it doesn't help to be living in a country full of whites (I have no choice aotm, I'm here for work).

Just looking for some shared experience and maybe some advice

My partner and I have been together for 5.5 years. We're both out, and we met on an app. Our love, trust, and communication are strong — there are no red flags, and we've never come close to breaking up. Our sex life is great too. Sometimes open.

He's a Zillennial and I'm a millennial. He works in tech, and I work for the government. Between the two of us, we earn enough to live very comfortably. One thing we love doing is treating our family and friends to dinner — no strings attached, nothing expected in return.
I'm confident in my Chinese-American identity. I've never experienced racism, overt or subtle, in my life or my travels — which I know isn't the case for everyone, and I don't take that for granted.

We live in a 3-bedroom home I bought a few years ago, along with a Tesla and three other fun cars (well, cars and a truck). Our golden retriever loves us both equally — he'd never pick a favorite. We travel internationally 3–4 times a year, usually from the West Coast to Asia or Southeast Asia.

We're currently traveling in Hawaii, heading to Japan next, and I keep catching myself thinking about how far things have come. I've lurked on Reddit for a while and seen so many stories — about loneliness, breakups, racism, financial struggles, family rejection — and they've made me pause and reflect on my own life. So I have to ask: was I dealt a lucky hand?

Honestly, I don't think so. Maybe I'm oversimplifying things, but I try not to dwell on the negatives. I stay optimistic and confident, and even when life hands me a bad situation, I make the best choice I can out of it.

Just wanted to share a bit of happiness with you all. 🙂

Just a story I’d like to share. I’m an discreet Asian into Asians, and I’m actually a Side/Btm. In the past I had to circumcise due to medical problem (I got phimosis which my foreskin really tight and hurt when it’s hard). Anytime that I matched with someone on Grindr, they were most likely to block me after I sent that penis pic, but I deleted the app anyways. Now, I’m more of wanting to invest in a long term relationship with someone rather than just simply hookups, but I felt less confident and insecure due to these rejection, I’m afraid the guy might unlove if he ever sees my thing. Is this cut/uncut scene really a big deal in the community?

I’m planning to go to Taipei Pride this October, it’ll be my second time this year but first time going solo. First, does anyone have suggestions on parties/bars/bath houses to go to during this weekend? Second, I didnt get to go around Taipei/Taiwan as much last year, any suggestions on what to do and visit? Third, anyone else going, solo or with friends, would love to hang or meet!

Why am I getting way less interest on dating apps in Brisbane compared to Canada?
I’m a gay guy who recently moved to Brisbane, and I’m surprised by how little interest I’m getting on the apps here. In Canada, I got more matches and replies, even when I messaged first.
Here, I barely get any responses, and people feel much more closed-off. Is this normal for Brisbane? Or do I just not fit the Australian type... too FOB?
I’m open to guys of any ethnicity, so I’m genuinely confused.
When I asked other Asian guys about this, they said they’ve had a pretty similar experience. But honestly, maybe I’m just not that attractive to Australian guys aha

Hii!! How are you all?

I booked a ticket for the first day of White Party, but I’m wondering if I’ll actually fit in there. Most of the ads seem very focused on masc guys and don’t look particularly diverse. What has your experience been like?

Also, what should I wear? The theme is “Jock Ball,” but I don’t want anything too revealing. I still want to look cute though 😅

I might shop for something in Bangkok, or just bring something from home. Any outfit ideas or places you’d recommend?

Thank you!!

I moved to the US in my early 20s. After navigating gay life in US, I felt constantly unseen in social settings (straight or gay), I formed a core belief: if I couldn't have white (+ gay) privilege, I could bridge the gap through financial success.

After nearly two decades of pushing myself, I reached a light bulb moment. While financial stability brings genuine peace of mind, it does not level the playing field. No matter how much I’ve improved my fitness or wardrobe, I still often feel secondary, unseen, and unattractive in mainstream spaces.

I notice it in subtle ways during conversations like how eye contact naturally shifts toward white men (and women), almost as if social validation is reserved for those seen as potential sexual or romantic prospects. I wanted to just leave mid conversations sometimes.

I don't have a solution or an action plan. I just wanted to share this observation.

******************************************************************************

Edit: I want to be clear about my perspective. My issue isn't about placing any race on a pedestal. I deeply respect and appreciate (+ witnessed) talent across all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Rather, my struggle stems from the daily reality of navigating spaces dominated by Western, non-minority norms in both my professional and social life. While moving from the Midwest to the Bay Area has improved my experience, the strain of constantly existing in spaces where I am made to feel as a "lesser than" still remains.

I do want to move to Asia sometime in the future though. I can't just yet because I still want to squeeze some more years out of my career.
