My experience has been that once you you turn 50 then you are totally dismissed by most gay men. That was very difficult to get used to. It forced me to redefine my social encounters so that I sought out people that were more accepting and supportive of my personal situation.donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879147983682175313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-10049150118512507482011-01-02T12:38:29.012-05:002011-01-02T12:38:29.012-05:00I feel a lot like Birdie, although I'm not as ...I feel a lot like Birdie, although I'm not as bad as she described.<br /><br />I've seen plenty of pics and vids of you (having never met), but that won't really mean anything if we pass each other on the street.<br /><br />First, I probably won't recognize you unless I got a good look at your eyebrows and chin (your most distinguishing features). Second, even if you stop me and say hello, chances are I still won't know who you are, at least not right away.<br /><br />I'd wonder if we went to high school together, then wonder if it was college, then wonder if maybe it was work. All the while I'd be making chitchat and nodding my head, trying to fake it while having no idea who you are.<br /><br />Then you would leave, no doubt thinking I was a complete asshole, or in my own little universe or just plain clueless as Alan said, or thinking I don't care enough to remember you as Birdie said.<br /><br />Only after you were long gone would I think of who you were, then spend the next few hours mentally beating myself up over my failure. But like Birdie implied, by this point it's too late. The damage is done. Feelings would be hurt and relationships would be harmed.Cubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659801291785890663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-82268965039134254622011-01-02T10:15:19.481-05:002011-01-02T10:15:19.481-05:00As a native,I can feel your consternation.

I once forgot my mother's name when introducing her to a friend (whose name I remembered).<br /><br />Please be kind to those of us shrink from social settings for exactly this reason. It is a synapse misfire that I loathe. I've known people for years from seeing them at church and I still don't know their names. I'll bet I've heard it a few times, too, but if I don't READ it and see their faces, it's a lost cause. So too for conversations. Go ahead and tell me a story I've heard; I'll love it as though it's the first time I've heard it—because it probably will be. And forgive me, because it will happen again, in a totally random and selective pattern.<br /><br />I don't know if it's the ADD or Asperger's, but there it is. I know I've hurt feelings, and I've tried to warn people, but they think I don't care enough to remember. I'd give anything if I could.Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852713057094279347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-39104743083263229762011-01-02T06:40:45.870-05:002011-01-02T06:40:45.870-05:00you are extremely memorable.
