I like the gray and red combination of 1, and the size of the tongue relative to the rest of the shoe.

My choice would be #1. My second choice would be #3.

Have fun on the site. It's great!

Uncut, and I think cut or uncut are hot[/quote

I agree!

Off ya go then! You go buy them! Start a contest on here and then also pay to send them International Air Mail to someone you never met!

The dollar is weak but tbh it doesnt make much difference atm, have looked in to that. With shipping costs and things works the same.

Unless obviously i was gonna spend $100 at least like a certain someone thinks i f**king should! Really feel like i may as well give up! End these contests and most the other help i put in because obviously its not appreciated! Not like i get a salary for doing anything on here or get money to spend on gifts! Its out my pocket from working my job! Maybe i just should stop being as nice.

I know a lot of us here appreciate ALL that you do. So, don't let the opinions of a few discourage you. Truly...thank you for EVERYTHING!

Wow, I had no idea you were hurting so much, or that you were so young. Look, things might seem horrible now, and I'm not going to pretend I understand what you're going through, I don't, but i do know that nothing is worth that. Things will get better. They always do. I don't know what help I can offer, other than to tell you not to give up. You've already survived a lot. I have, once or twice, been so unhappy that I've just wanted it all over, and I don't know what i would have done if I'd been treated like a criminal because of it. Like I said, I don't understand what you're going through, I've never had to deal with anything like this, but that just means you're a hell of a lot tougher than I am. You can make it. You have people who care about you, and they all want to help you.

Really well-said!

Hello, long time no see everyone.

I went off the deep end this week, been through a rough time with my family, going through the acceptance phase of life, and attempted to commit suicide and failed.

I recently have been hanging out with a person who I believe is my best friend in this entire world, and he;'s been spending the night... he sags really great btw and I enjoy his company and companionship and I have gotten really attached to him. Nothing sexual, he told me he's positively 100% straight and I even tried to make a few advances towards him and he's goes the other way.. HOWEVER he's slept with me in the same bed together twice.

My mother thinks we are doing it.. we are both the same age..16-17 range, me being older. And she does not approve of him, even though he's my best friend, and perhaps my only real friend I have. My mom told me he cannot be over any more at all... and I went off the deep end.. got committed, strap down to a plastic bed for 24 hrs and watched for 72 hours in a freezing cold room wearing only thin PJ pants with a hole in front :/

Now I am back, I dont know what to do or think..

Hopefully, you have a group of professionals who are working with you and offering support. Talk to them and make sure you keep talking and asking for the support that you need.

OH WELL SORRY! I pay for them so it come's out of my own pocket!! Doesn't cost you guys anything to take a picture!

I can probably guess there are some people on here that don't have something like $25 to spend on a pair of boxers!

So thought this might be a nice way of them getting a bright, well known brand!

What would you suggest then!?

I wouldn't suggest anything else. You're a good guy for paying for anything!

Yep exactly Steve.

He's always been religious and I'd been his friend for 12 years so it's very convenient that I all of a sudden don't accept his religion...despite it being the same religion as my family lol...hmm...

As the saying goes, "rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not"

Yes...that saying is very true!

Update - well, I *thought* they were cool with it.

I've seen my former best friend just one time since last August. Any time I suggested us meeting up, he'd have a reason not to. I eventually gave up after I emailed him saying I felt like we weren't friends any more and he replied back with a dismissive "sometimes friends drift apart" email.

I found out from a mutual friend that the excuse he's giving people as to why he doesn't see me anymore is that I never accepted his Catholicism so why should he accept my sexuality. It annoyed me so much when I heard that. My friend was right wing Catholic...he doesn't believe in evolution, thinks the earth is 6000 years old, believes in Adam & Eve as a literal account, is pro life even if a woman is raped etc...so yes I joked about his views in the past but after being friends since 1998, he suddenly has a problem with me "not accepting his religion".

...which is bull**** anyway because I don't care what his religion is, my family are Catholics!!

I remember one time years and years ago we were out and I mentioned Finding Nemo and how cool Dory is. I mentioned that I also liked Ellen Degeneres' stand up comedy and he said that he hated gay people.

I just bit my tongue but again, how he can say I didn't accept his religion when all I ever did was make a few jokes (and not even in recent years!) about it and would never have dreamt of saying I hated a person for being religious...it's annoying that he's found a way to justify his homophobia to others by making me seem like the bad guy.

Despite all that though, I don't regret telling him. It's a shame that a 12/13 year friendship is over but oh well.

That's really a shame. It seems that this person has found a way to complete "the story" -- he probably believes that you didn't accept his religion (though it doesn't sound like you were dismissive about it) because you are gay. And he may also believe the fact that you're gay prevents him from being your friend because he's Catholic. Of course, this isn't the complete story or even the accurate one, but it prevents him from having to challenge his way of thinking. It's unfortunate, but I'm glad that you don't regret telling him.
