But it seems like the gay community wants to stay young and have the life is a party with glitter, glamour, drama, sex n alcohol. It's sad to see

  • I'm (48 years old) now out for nearly 2 years, but it's still not easy. The past 20 years of living a secret life in the closet and acting straight in public is extremely difficult to overcome. Sure, everybody else is accepting it well, so there's nobody else to blame. What you're explaining is so close to my experience and it feels so great and relieving to hear somebody else speaking it out loud. So thank you very much. It helps probably a lot of other people, too.

  • I connect so much to this video, Carl. I too have not had much going on in the love part of my life. I've downloaded and deleted dating apps so many times, I couldn't tell you how many to be exact. I put all my hopes into those apps and I'll end up spending over half of my day on them, not even talking to anyone! Just simply swiping through people. But it is hard at times because I feel that all those apps are used for is hooking up. It's never been what I'm into and I still don't have any interest to settle for hooking up. It can really get me down sometimes, with the thought in my head that maybe I'll never meet someone. I too don't put myself in situations that often that allow me to meet other people in person and not online, which is a primary reason I always re-download those apps. Just know you aren't the only one, Carl. It's not easy and can be very frustrating. Much love!!

  • I really like exactly what you said. I tend to have trouble connecting with others because I’m more of an introvert, and I hate dating apps, and clubs etc... so it makes it really hard to meet someone if you don’t really enjoy the whole dating process but you want to get to the comfort zone of one. I had a relationship for 8 years and it was everything I wanted for the most part. Unfortunately they passed away suddenly at a young age. I often find someone who is amazing but they are also in another country and that makes it so hard to have a relationship unless you both go the distance. I’m trying to accept that being single is the best thing for me if it’s not meant to be. But you are exactly right... because it’s so hard to find someone who is true and good hearted (in my opinion) to each his own... I don’t mind how others live their lives. But it’s not always compatible with me. Always been the monogamous type with little drama as possible. I have been watching your videos and I think it’s a great thing you are doing and it kinda helps us feel less alone in the same situation. I found myself self hating the fact of being gay because it’s so hard to find. But then I think of what I did have and what I could have again. And it IS possible. Plus it is worth it. No one wants to be alone. Age plays a big factor if you don’t still have the person you met when you were younger it’s harder to find someone closer to your age, similar to yourself with your personality and beliefs, or just to find that person who will “complete you” ... and then you remember you’re made the way you are for a reason. As long as you have purity in your heart then you are showing nothing but love. I believe in it... cause I’ve seen it. And it is out there. It doesn’t always go with our timing. I think it would be so much easier (if we were straight) because we would have so many more opportunities of finding that perfect one. But don’t give up hope. Because I hear you. There has to be plenty of us going through the same thing. Or similar situations. Timing will all work out. Thank you for the positivity and honesty. It was very refreshing to hear today. In ways we’re all learning how to have pride for ourselves. We do have to love ourselves before we can love anyone else. We tend to ignore the “rejection” we give ourselves at times... which is something we can work on. Life will be beautiful. We will get there.

All I can say is that you need to let yourself go and think that it doesn’t matter what other people think and it doesn’t matter about the person you want to date or that “Prince Charming” you have in mind. It matters wether you love them or not and wether they love you back.

Good looking guys have it harder because we aren't taken seriously because we are seen as someone who goes around breaking hearts.

  • I noticed that you kept talking about how you have a certain type and how you're very particular about that.. I can tell you right now: having a type doesn't mean shit. I certainly have a type, but I've had the best relationships with guys who weren't my type at all. As you said: it's all about connection. You're never going to find that connection on a dating app, because it's nearly impossible to get a good read on someones personality through chatting online. Go out, meet people, that's the only way to really get to know people. One smile in real life tells you more than a 1000 words shared online.

The more open you're with your preferences, the more your chances of finding THE one.

  • Incredible vlog Carl :)... once again. I definitely connect with you on this subject. I have been single for years as well and the connection is something real and I see others connect with each other so I get it. It's a wonderful feeling. My issue is I connect with guys that I end up being such good friends with.... it's like they become extremely attached to me in a way, which then brings feelings on my behalf lol. Long story short.... I'm just a super nice guy haha. Love is hard to find to receive back for sure. I own a company that's requires a lot of my time and travel. I'm in and out of London, Australia and etc so I tend to be really attracted to you brits and aussies haha. (So I get it) ;). I hate dating apps because I tend to be so social when I meet people out for business and etc, but I wonder why is it hard to meet someone to date in person. It's quite different obviously,but you would think it would be the same in a social perspective. You are a great guy Carl and being selective is crucial for a beautiful man and like yourself. You work hard to live the life that you want, such as myself.... so why settle for just anyone when you most certainly can have your Prince Charming :). Well enough said for now. Have an amazing day.

  • Being gay has been difficult for me, I've been physically attacked for being gay, called names, you name it. I came out back in 2001 age 16 but my mom found it hard to accept, and went to the library to see if she could find a book about gay people as she couldn't understand how someone could be gay but she is old school, born in the early 1940s, I was born in 1985 so she had me quite late, I was her 5th child. She probably went 50 years before she knew anyone who was openly gay. She never said to me she disagreed with my orientation but she didn't have to as you can just tell she disagreed despite us always being very close. I just wish she wouldv'e said I don't care who you are or something like that. I had my first boyfriend when I was age 22 that lasted a year. But I'm 37 now and went back into the closet, ended up depressed and taking antidepressants. I have times where I accept who I am and other times go into a depression about it and don't. I don't think I'll ever be fully accepting about it.

  • I find it hard being gay as well.... I want someone who can be confident where I am not, someone who is willing to be that nice, protective and re-assuring person for me in the crazy life that I live. I pride myself in being charming and chill and very kind all of the time, but I want someone who sees past that and is there for me in the deepest parts of my soul. It's hard to find a person like that just on a dating app or at a bar. I live a pretty lonely life as well. I work, go out to eat with my family sometimes, but no one ever really shows interest in having me around in other places, so I don't go out of the house often. Anyways, I think you're quite charming too! I was recently looking at some men's makeup to buy and I watched that video as well as your hair video. Very nice content :) Thank you for being on KZhead for countless men who struggle with being a member of the LGBT community and also for men who think they will be hated on if they wear makeup. You hold a special place in my heart for that :)

I'm also afraid to be in a relationship, mostly because I feel like if I was with someone it would be like "cheating" because my body isn't what i want it to be (I don't know if it makes sense).

  • For me the acceptance of myself was quite easy, although I live in Russia. I didn't come out to my parents yet, but all my friends accepted me. And neither in the university nor in the dorm I didn't have any problems because of my homosexuality. Maybe I just had a good luck

  • Hi Carl, just wanted to let you know that you are young you have time but please don't wait to long, as you mentioned being gay is hard I agree and my advise of telling you not to wait to long is don't end up like me 48 years old and all alone.

  • I couldn't relate with you more, I find it so hard to connect with someone romantically. Especially when you're not really into the gay scene. I keep going through stages where I am like 'I love being single, I don't need someone to complete me' and other moments I'm like 'why is everyone settling down, and I'm still single?' . This video was amazing, it's something people don't talk about a lot.

  • Hi there i came across your video 😄, and my advice is yes you had a negative experience on a date but you cant base it on everything know there are great people out there just cant lose hope, and there are many ways to meet outher guys just not blind dates or gay clubs, try joining a class, volunteer, maybe get into school, church and what i learned is that you need to be open to every type cause u never know when u limit yourself to a certain type and expect negative results or expect prince charming your giving off a energy and it will cause bad results my advice is be open to all types of other guys and be open to all kinds of ways to meet people and dont expect anything but always go in with a postive mind set n be ok with any results n love being alone n single n it will happen 😁😁😁🌹 all the best my friend btw i would like to be friends if that was possible i always liked London England.

  • this video came on my suggestions are at moment in which I'm through the same exact thing and I'm not even subscribed to this gorgeous guy. I just started using these dating apps, thinking that if I put myself out there somehow I'd find my type of guy and it has just made even more hopeless. Currently, I've fallen for an escort (blonde and gorgeous blue eyes) I've been seeing and he's actually the reason I've gotten on these apps, to find someone who actually wants to be with me without paying them. My love life is pretty sad tbh. I'm like begging for love at this point and I don't want this to push me off the deep end. I hope to some day just be at the right place, the right time and the right guy just happens to cross my path.

  • I fee you, and I think the problem is that you're particular about the type you want. I used to be that way, until you open your mind to the possibility that the Prince Charming can exist outside your type, you may continue to look. Like they say "love lives in strange places". I have dated my type and it all went to shit, until I decided to be more open minded. And today, 4 years going and still strong together with someone who wasn't my type, and I couldn't be happier. The truth is, the more open you are about your type, the ore your chances, and the less open you are about your type, the less your chances. I am speaking from experience. You never know what you will find on the other side.

I myself was designed by nature in the same way. It’s truly hard for us to just be happy with ourselves and who we are due to so much internalized shame over time

I don't find these "sparks" with anyone. I felt that wonderful feeling once but never more again. I wish you luck. We feel different from the most of gay people, we seek true love, and that's not easy at all, but we'll get it.

  • Dude- I've been there. You'll grow out of feeling like you can't connect . You just have to let your guard down a bit and look deeper within yourself . You'll then run into that guy. Sometime one can get so caught up with other things you can miss what or who you've always wanted. You'll look past it. Just slow down a bit on the inside. Pretty soon the take aways and bottles of wine will be there for you and that special guy. Just stay in the gym! 😜

  • If this any help to you, i met my current boyfriend through Grindr.. bear in mind i'm not the gay scene type of person that enjoys hooking up etc. I've been out for 3 years and never had Grindr, so if this is giving you any hope - it is possible to find people that are similar to you on dating apps/websites! I've been with him for 8 months, and honestly it's been the best thing that's ever happened to me. Just know your self value, stick to your morals and the right person will come :) never settle for less.

  • Carl, you answered your own question: go out and put yourself in situations where there's a chance you'll meet someone. Go to gym and talk to people; say hi, you'll be surprised who says hello back. Join a volunteer group, if you have spare time. Take your laptop to a cafe and edit there; better to be around people than on your own. Borrow from the Americans you say you have a thing for and don't wait for someone to speak to you first. And always, if asked to go out, say yes. Mr Right may not be the guy who you date, it may turn out to be the waiter who serves you.

  • i haven't watched the whole video but i relate as a lesbian... I don't know what it is. Maybe you too are a rarer personality type that requires a certain amount of emotional depth in your partner. I'm very intuitive and very feeler-y and have learned i only truly latch or see through a person's eyes who is also intuitive and a feeler.. it's all about personality. There are personalities that compliment you, and some that will wear against you, and that's all it is to me, and being gay and also having a specific personality preference, it narrows it down SO significantly. EDIT: add on to that somebody who is introverted or secluded. because you and i both seem somewhat introverted.. i just relate so much.

  • I have some thoughts that may help you in the future of seeking a partner. You say all the right things but your actions arent matching. You mentioned over and over about having a connection. How are you going to get that connection by swiping right on a guys appearance? You havent gave yourself or him the chance for that connection. Dating apps are shit, dont ever do them. They are based on a superficial factor of looks only. Guys, including you, want that connection. Looks are a part of them, But the heart is blind. I know you are a traveler, opinionated, take charge, and no BS kind of guy. You are motivated to succeed and everyone better watch out. That may scare many, but not all. ( I quite frankly find it hot. Keeps me on my toes in a relationship.) Settle down on expectations of first dates, appearance, and allow someone to get to know you and you to get to know them. You are a lovely intelligent person, and there any many of the same like you, Stop judging too quick and enjoy the chase. I know that doesnt fit with your personality, but try. Go on dates. talk. And if there isnt a connection - MOVE ON Its not a failure, its not wasting your time. But the same amount of time you do in picking your clothes or a car to drive into dating. test drive it. try it on with others things, enjoy the process. AND i f you are ever in the states, I would enjoy your company for dinner and conversation anytime.

    • 10000000% true. By the way, as per what I've seen, it's mostly those guys who are 'intelligent. high achievers and well educated' who mostly turn out to be shallow and superficial when it comes to dating. They are hard to please, judge quickly and then claim 'it's hard to find prince charming' So lame and laughable indeed!
