Would I be cool if I went to more shows?
 

I've been on this board for a while and have chatted with and met several members...couple of them are about as intelligent as a 4 year old retarded ape and that's being rough on the ape.

Also, they lack talent, personality, capital, ambition, etc. - pretty much what makes most other people successful. However, they are "ballers" and "big dogs" on this board because they go to shows. I find that incredibly fucking stupid.

Great guy, great product, great talent, intelligent but doesn't go to shows = A Noob

Dumbass, Illiterate, non-talent having retarded fucktard that goes to shows = A stand up guy and class act

I love it!

P.S. I've been to shows but I'm still not cool.

Here's your Queer Eye for the Straight Guy Tip Of The Day:

Change your sig. Pic of dude munching on phallic looking food not cool. Put some bewbies down there, people will lub you long time. :thumbsup

That's a mouthful!

Here's your Straight Guy for the Queer Guy Tip Of The Day:

Pussy doesn't smell like shit (literally). Might want to look into that. :thumbsup

Don't worry, you aren't the only one that thinks its hilarious. Lots of ass grabbing makes you a cool person!

I had to read our ICQ history to see what I said.

Ok, don't like that idea? Fine.

Maybe you should pretend to buy a ferrari. Seems to be a popular method people are using to make themselves look cool lately... :thumbsup

Baddog, you're the shit bro. You have your stuff together and we've had nothing but nice chats. However....some of these people I wonder how they manage to pay their bills much less turn on their computers. :(

Real true blue idiots...no lie.

I had to read "bewbies" 3 or 4 times before I figured out WTF that meant. . . . . but a very interesting observation.

As I type this, I can't help but wonder if it is only because you are gay that you had this observation. I have only heard compliments about his sig, and I believe he removed it once and people wanted it back (correct me if I am wrong Rob) I think the chewing on the phallic symbol is what bothers you.

generally the rule of thumb is if you have to ask if you are cool you arn't.

:thumbsup

Ok being serious for a moment:

You want to know the REAL reason why I think his sig hurts him on this board? It's because it's obviously an "ethnic" man in the pic, with a bland look on his face, munching away on veggies.

If I've learned one thing about GFY, or better yet, if I've learned one thing about this INDUSTRY it's that there are an awful lot of bigots in it. Or at the very least, ACTING like a bigot is perceived as cool.

From a marketing perspective, we decided early on that if we were going to do promotion for a gay program on the boards, we'd have to play the role of "stereotypical faggots".

The ha-ha will and grace stuff plays well on here, acting like serious business professionals (that happen to be gay), working in the gay market place, would not. We'd then be "a bunch of fucking faggots" instead of "those funny gays".

I think the same holds true for other minorities, or people perceived as a minority, as well.

Rob, I'm not sure if we have ever met, but I'd definately enjoy sitting down and having a drink with you at a show sometime. If that puts me off the middle of some imaginary fence, so be it.

I'm Asian. The guy in my sig is Asian. I'm not a bigot and have never even been perceived as a bigot.

And yes, Baddog. I removed my sig and people went nuts. I had to bring him back. He's been my sig since I started posting here.

I would also like to have a drink with you, JaY. I've heard nothing but good things about you.

Haha I wasn't saying that YOU were the bigot. From what I've seen of your posting you've always been cool in that dept.

I'm talking about others on here.

Ah, gotcha.

If someone doesn't want to do business with me because I have an Asian guy eating a veggie in my sig then I'd probably not want to do business with that person in the first place.

With that said, my sig is probably saving me from having to deal with bigots.

Hey, haha good way to look at it.

Maybe i should put some gay man loving in my sig :thumbsup

Never met you before Rob, but you're definitly one of the people in this business that I respect. We've done biz together previously, and I look forward to doing more down the road. :)

I'm a noob.

What's your product these days?

It was an example I was using that you quoted. I wasn't talking about me....

I thought that might be it, but I was curious.

I've never been to a show in my life and i've been working in this business for longer than this boards been around. I've never had any interest or reason too. I dont really care what people consider to be the "ballers" and "big dogs", it doesn't concern me.

If they enjoy industry events, then that's awsome. But hopefully most people our age gave up on the whole popularity contest back in highschool. :2 cents:

You've got a good point Rob, I agree with you; attending shows doesn't make you cool or successful. I haven't been to one and I consider myself up there in both categories :thumbsup

Wow, you think just like some chicks I have talked to that thought they had to hide the fact that they were female.

So, just so we (I) are clear - it is your contention that people would rather do biz with a zany gay guy, than a businessman that happened to be gay?

How would we know anyone was gay unless they told us or made some stupid comment that could only be attributed to a gay guy or a chick (by that I reference posts that chick playing guy would make that just sounded so fucking gay. If she is reading this, she knows who she is).

Come on, let's not distort things with facts.

Maybe because I sit 6' away from my monitor, but I never even noticed it was an Asian guy.
