Q Query #24: what is manSham ?

After a few of weeks, of not logging on manjam, and even before that i just logged in once, so we can practically say ever since beginning of 2010, i would have logged in total like 9-10 times at most... not bad for the first quarter of the year.

Today out of no reason what-so-ever i decided well why not check out, which i did and i ended up nothing but disappointed with now 10 pages who are online at the same time... of pure bullshit.

either they have their cock and arse pictures, speaking of which, as soon as i logged some guy had the audacity of sending me his private VIDEO !!! you can send PRIVATE VIDEOs now !!! Seriously ? i opened it of course you know curious what did this video have in surprise for me, i mean come on i for sure knew what would be in it, ... ya3ni akeed it wont be the video of the SONDOUD in valentine or some love video, but anyway i opened up and POPPED on my screen a guy masturbating in this weird thing i didnt know what it was i tried to repeat the video not to see the guy masturbate but to figure out what the hell he was doing it in.. it seemed like he was using cotton around his hands ? does that make sense !

anyway went through a few more profiles ... you either have the muscle marry's who i know them in person so no use in sending them messages, or you have the BEE2A people (yes i am classist, get with the program) or have the people who thing manjam = man-meat-market and have no shame at being FULLY EXPOSE DOWN TO THEIR BITS ... i mean ewww !! leave something for my imagination... or you have the guys who live in Wonderland with Alice, where everything should be happy and pink and rosey and love just grows on trees, and you pick love just like picking an apple of a tree (oh  ehmmm arent we here on earth for a reason)

then you have the 18-19 year old boys,.... they are like fleas, they are over taking us they are everywhere you look, they are under my house they are on manjam, they are in my cafes, they are on msn, i even have one adopted !!!

OKAY I AM NOT HIGH ... I AM SOBER WHILE WRITING THIS POST and i do realize that it doesnt make much since


MANJAM as one infamous blogger or should we say ex-blogger ? eloquently put it as manSham is nothing but a disgrace a shameful act, .... i am thinking maybe i should start a new database or manshit but this time do no allow nudity on it, ehmm make it clean... and sort of do not allow memebers to meet up for sex... make it a clean manjam... wouldnt that be nice...

dont get me wrong i am no ANGEL... yet at a certain age, you just get bored and grossed out by the meat market the gay online websites became... oh well i guess i will log on tomorrow again for no understandable reason, maybe someone can actually surprise me there !

so to MAN-SHAM

Q Query #24: the wisdom of Q?

There is a bunch of experience we gain through life, and as we grow older this experiences becomes dubbed as wisdom, so for tonight i will share with you some of my wisdom

  • Never sleep while having a fight with someone, its best to settle things before sleeping 
  • Nothing good happens after 2am, by that time most people are drunk or too tired, and not in their sane state of mind
  • there is always something positive even in the most negative of things, (if someone died, hopefully they will go to heaven, if you broke up with someone, well now you are single to meet you true soul mate, you got an F on an exam or a lost a deal, well you learnt something from it.. etc)
  • People rarely change their cores, dont try to find a partner and try to change them and mold them into what you think is perfect, accept them for who they are.
  • Mr. Perfect & Soul mate, they dont exist but there is Mr. Perfect for you, the one who makes you happy, he might not be the vision of your Mr. Perfect, or prince charming riding on a white unicorn, but he still is perfect for you 
  • If a relationship is too dramatic or from the start of it is rock, then no point in investing time into trying to make it work, its just not working ! (that is assuming its something new, not a relationship that has been working fine for years.. and had some few bumps)
  • no point in games, in mature relationships, if you care for the person then show it off (okay i believe in this, but i constantly get proven other wise that games in fact work, but i still stick by belief)
  • its healthy to check out other people while you are dating someone, best thing is why not check out the guys together, rather than pretending that we are angels and we dont check out guys
  • open relationships are not healthy ... we are not animals (i still love you and i dont judge ... you know who you are) 
  • love in first sight is not an illusion it could actually happen
  • but in the same time, there are stages in a relationship .. it goes from seeing the person, to dating the person, to being in a relationship with them... you cant go from 0 - 60 in 3 seconds, you cant know a person in a matter of a week or two or even a month 
  • HONESTY!!! Lying never gets you any where it always bites you in the behind, not in the way you like it
  • MADONNA is always the queen of pop and no one can de thrown her, not gaga not britney not anyone, they could inherit her though

Thats just some of the stuff i can think off top of my head now

XoXo

Q Query #23: Come again... Relation.. what ?.. "RelationShit"

Gay or Straight,
Guy or Girl

relationships are hard and confusing at sometime, and trying to find some for this so called relationship is harder... we do people even bother in the first place .. i wonder?

but oh well no denying we need it, its like we need water, we need someone to love and someone to love us, all that bullshit.

Just look at the multi-million if not billion dollar industry of self help books, such as dating for dummies, or mens are from venus women are from mars, or "how to land your perfect gay boy toy ?"... granted i am not sure that the last one has been released yet but come on ... it wont be so absurd if you find off the shelves of some bookstore (NOT AN EGYPTIAN ONE OBVIOUSLY).

Lately i have been noticing my friends in their pursuit for their soulmate, or their fling and i have been noticing a lot of things, take the following characters for example


  1. A Girl friend of mine, constantly goes after whats wrong for her and she knows it, she goes after assholes, guys who are looking for one or two week stand of girls, and she is not that kind of girl, but the way she projects herself and goes after those guys, makes the guys think so, and well at the end she ends up no where
  2. A Guy friend of mine, well is in a relationship with this other guy, and the other guy is sort, well lets say they arent much of a match, they have stuff in common and stuff but still, something is missing, and they spend most of their time arguing more than actually enjoying their times... Shouldnt relationships be about fun, more than about drama. IF IT AINT FUN, SKIP IT... unless you invested years into it 
  3. Another one of my girlfriends, she liked this guy, he was into her, they went on two or three the guy is basically decent, and he treated her right, and like she doesnt hide much from him... but it turns out the guys bff, has sort of stopped her Mr. Right from seeing her by mentioning to this mr Right that he and her use to have a crush on eachother that went no further than innocent casual dates, for hell sake the girl didnt even kiss the BFF. so the girl is left with no Mr. Right, granted that Mr. Right was good for her, and she is too picky to find another guy who could be Mr. Right
those are just three different examples, if i start from my own experiences of dating well that would be a blog by itself i mean and i am no different i am sure the lot of you had the same shitty experience once or twice. 

here is the interesting thing, we tend to forget sometimes that there is two sides of the story ... meaning? lets say you had a shitty experience, dont you think the person would talk in a not so "positive" way about you, while you would also do the same (OF COURSE WE ARE ALL ANGELS AND WE DONT TALK SHIT!!!... But assume for a minute here) 

and in our so ever small gay community that means well since we all had bad experiences then we all would have some sort of bad reputations. Which in turn means that when you come to date a new guy and ask about him you might here something bad about him if that guy is not from the same circle of friends of yours. 

Would you take your friends opinion of the guy, or would you go by your own instincts? 
sometimes these friends could be right, when facts are right in your face, i mean lets say they tell you this guy you started seeing is a whore ... and well infact that little cunt of a guy is a whore, he sleeps with 3 different guys a week, while he has a boyfriend who he makes him thinks that he is monogamous with  (okay side note here, this has nothing to do with me its just hypothetically speaking)

tayeb would you want to know what is your reputation ... ?

i think i know mine, i am supposedly stuck, rude, arrogant, shayef nafso, classist etc ... some of them might be true some them might not be, but to really get to know me the person interested should go on a few dates with me before judging on that. 

or be it same thing with you, you shouldnt judge a person based on one date or what you have heard, spend actual time in getting to know this person

okay how did i reach here, oh yea relationships are hards and confusing, so in turn this blog post is confusing with the information flow :) 

Happy Humping "Relationshit" seakers

Q Query #22: what do the A-Lister Gay people do?

Disclaimer: by A-Lister in no means do i mean to be class-est or do actually think that the group of people i am talking about are in fact high society, however within the four scenes below its just an aim of showing that there does exist a life outside of the gay main community where gay people interact within the straight scene supposedly so called high society. 


Scene 1:  An A-List party at one of the posh night venus of cairo, around 6 gay guys there, each mingling with their straight friends, one passes a wink at the other acknowledging their existence,  another hangs out with two others while sharing a drink and having a five minute quick gossip but each toddle back to their straight group, each one but two are in the closet. they dance the night away, each has his own "girlfriend" that they dance with, one flaunts his dancing moves, while another dirty dances with the girl, while an out one just dances the night away like he is in shadowlounge in soho-London.

Scene 2: outside of Cairo in one of those national holidays the Cairo A-Listers head down to Gouna, and go to one of the big bang parties there, again some like 10-15 gay people are there, who sort of considered the A-listers within the gay community, some of them are known within the gay community some of them arent known, and are just known with in that certain small group of supposedly A-Listers, anyway, bardo each to their own group, but they mingle for short periods of time, some of them like maybe two or three have a lot of common friends or even same group

Scene 3: in a go away celebration of one their friends moving out of the country, and they go to some posh bar with in the island and share a few drinks

Scene 4: A guy descends upon Cairo from london, and hangs out with his best friend, his best friend decides to show him that Cairo is not the same as it was 4 years back when he use to live here, so he takes him out to Tamarai, they end up having a few Martinis and well, they dance the night away as if they are in a gay club in london, there was some crotch against crotch action going on, however what was interesting is that it seemed the patron of the bar didnt mind, they are okay as long as it wasnt too much dirty dancing,  and that mind set of the people were cool with two gay guys dancing together.

Q Query #21: When does the Thrill become the killer

As i was having my dinner (for one) in one of those fast food joints, that had a little kiddie section, which had basically something that revolves around itself on axis, i saw the little kids laugh, smile, giggle, look happy.

Damn those kids, they could be happy about something so simple, something that goes around in a circle in aimless purpose. for fuck's sake its just revolving around itself, whats amusing about it, why are they laughing and happy about it.

Ok so i went deeper in my head and said if it was a roller coster i would understand, then i was like hmm why do i like the roller coster, well is it because the thrill, the adrenaline rush, well probably. At the end its almost the same thing, except the thing doesnt go in a uniform circle, but goes in a wavey circle. So do the kids like that ride when they were young because it in a way is sort of a thrill.

dating is the same, we like the frills and thrills with it, a little drama on it, like calling your friend OH MY GOD does he like me, or oh my god i wonder how the first kiss would be like, or OH MY GAWD we just had our first kiss, or OH MY LORDY LORD he didnt reply back to my sms from 3 days ago.

A little thrill also known as drama is a bit good, no? if everything goes smoothly then where is the fun in the hunt! but when does does too much drama become way too dramatic ? when does the "love game" (god bless lady gaga) become a battlefield (bless Natasha Bedingfield)

When does this pursuit for the thrill become the killer?

Q Query #20: in pursuit of normality ?

Almost 3 months without blogging,  i was watching Sex & The City movie on Show movies, scratch that. make it OSN Movies ! (Damn it even the TV Moguls have created a committed relationship with eachother), after watching SATC i got inspired to write again.

The question what to write about, how get you readers back to my blog. what is so interesting, almost everything has been talked about a blog, if i talk about finding that perfect and how difficult it is to find it Cairo, then well i would have done the same thing a million other bloggers done.

So after much thought i decided to write about some of my experiences in the past couple of month, i guess in a way or another my experiences are the ones that make special.

but where do i start, one of my two bestest friends, has returned to Cairo,  and what a joy it is, i was worried before he arrive that he wont fit in perfectly, or get to socialize with the people, but to much my surprise, within less than a week, that cute bff has gotten into the Cairo so scene, that i was surprised he got to know more people than i do, oh when i ever i check out a new guy on Facebook, i find him already a "mutual" friend... hehe i am glad that happened and i am glad that he is back, i am glad that he is back because its easier for me that he is here, its easier to be able to call him or see him when i need someone to talk too... (yes i am selfish i am glad he is back, and i wish he never leaves again ... and bitch if you are reading this, then guess what!?!?! i have a GRAND plan to make you never leave!!!)

In a surprising turn of events, i am getting closer to a friend, that i never thought we would get close, but lately we have been getting closer (on a non dating non relationship level) and again i am glad about that ... he is a great guy... he has potential of bff material (how lame of me to even say that!!)

while on the straight scene well as perviously stated in my previous post i was set on a mission which was conquering the straight scene, getting known, not getting rejected at entry of bars (oh such superficial goals, yet achieved) but the realization i came across is how much is the straight scene is similar to the gay one, how cut throat it is, how much jealousy are among the different groups, how much there is love yet hatred towards each-other, how small the outgoing party scene is, how everyone knows everything about everyone (yes apparently i am out, and apparently gossip travel fast )

i have had interesting experiences, once at Tamarai,  a new girlfriend of mine, told me that she wants to take me to her house so that she and her friend could play dress up and put make up on me !!! EXCUSE ME... I AM GAY NOT A GIRL! a few guys in another club are afriad to talk to me, they think i might bight them! oh and a straight guy friend of mine who i thought was a friend, once told one of my girl friends, that he doesnt always feel comfortable around me! hmm i think because he was extremely metrosexual, that he was afraid to be thought that he is gay by association with me, funny enough that happened also a year back.

BUT its not all bad, one of the boyfriends of one my girlfriends is like a well amazing when it comes to dealing with me, he jokes around about it in a funny way, but i never felt that he is threatened by it. which makes me feel comfortable around him , and to the people who know me, when i am comfortable i am less aggressive and less out there.

there was this one time a guy who went to this friend of mine and said oh how can you stand hanging out with this guy (me), he is hitting on me he is flirting with me (which wasnt true) and the girl being like a gay boy trapped within girl, she bitch the hell out of him in a club, but what was interesting fast forward a month down the lane and i was hanging out with my friends at his house, and it was like it never happened, he was cool around it, i guess.

That feeling of normality is great to have, the feeling of going through life without feeling different, but yet it still empties going alone through it, (oh i am not getting all sappy and shit here)

because i am not doing it alone, granted i am single and all that, but i have my girls and the bff, they understand me inside out, i love it sometimes even when i try to mask myself like say stuff that hiding my feelings or what i think, they respond back oh Q we know you so well ... oh GIRLs i have also a grand plan for you not to leave !! because i cant have you also leave, well at least one of you staying with me!

okay this blog is becoming a relentless mind dump, and hmm as someone said Q you have to learn when to stop. so i will stop here

Q Query #19: Conqured the Straight Scene - what next?

So since august, i set myself on the mission of conquering the straight scene ... and well i did, it wasnt easy but i did. i Successfully conquered it, even though i am out to the public and almost everyone one the scene knows who i am and the fact that i am being gay.. i think maybe they think its the fashion Trend to have the gay friend... you know like the gay puppy ... your group is cool if it has its own gay in it... well to make sure that we are in line about which straight scene have i conquered .. i am talking about the party scene, the Tamarai, Club 35, La Bodega, scene....

My mission wasnt easy, it wasnt smooth either, because i couldnt totally detach from the homo life, i am after all a homo, so i have my homo friends who i love very much, so at the beginning it might have been difficult to find a balance between two lives, but i finally did it... okay enough praise to myself ...

The question okay i have done this, i established myself a group of friends, actually two straight groups and one gay group, i am out.. THE QUESTION remains... WHAT NEXT ... ?

Meet a guy, fall in love, move in together, and have a baby ?YEA RIGHT... the gay guys who are like me who have their life oir lfie in they straight scene who are recently the guys i am attracted too... are too scared to approach me because i am out .. they think that  i will outst them.. the straight guys on the other hand are friendly ... the girls.. i am their puppy ... meet a guy in the gay scene .. well i have seen them all and either none of them attracted me ... or the ones who i am attracted too are not interested... so here i am stuck in a runt,  SINGLE... that term single is scary for me because i am approaching 27 soon and i have always been SINGLE, (the dates that are under a month dont count .. sa7) ...

so what do i do next... GO BACK in the closet to attract the guys i like ? ... to late for that .. i have been outed in cairo ever since 2004 .. tab eih tani.. get a guy from the gay scene, who doesnt mix in the straight scene ? but how would that fit my lifestyle... it would mean that i have to go and center myself around his life on the gay scene ? or do i take a guy and we be with eachother on both scene ...hmmm hahahah i am sure the girls would love two puppies more than one :)

oh well dont mind me .. i am just thinking out loud here with no specific purpose.. call it stupid rambling... maybe its the winter time... isnt this time of couples... true... all the straight people are getting BFs-GFs.. even the gay friends have now boyfriends (with the exception of my BFF) ... oh CHEERS to walking the streets of cairo alone, Cheers to my single bed.. Cheers to becoming a NUN
