The New Secret Hot Spot For Hookups & Dates

As someone who has worked out for years, let me spill the beans about a juicy secret: THE GYM IS THE NEW HANGOUT FOR HOTTIES LOOKING FOR LOVE AND LUST. Now, you might think, "Oh, it's always been like that," and you'd be right... but let me tell you, things have ramped up in a fabulous way!



Back in the day, if you wanted to make a gym buddy, you had to go old-school and ask a stranger to spot you while you pumped iron. It was like a mating dance, but with dumbbells instead of feathers. And if the chemistry was right (and I don't just mean the chemical stench of sweat), you might end up swapping numbers and planning post-workout escapades.

But now? Honey, it's a whole new ball game. People are signing into apps like Jack'd, Grindr, or others, while they're hitting the treadmill or doing squats. Some are so dedicated they message from the parking lot before even setting foot inside! Can you imagine the dedication? It's like they're lifting more than just weights.



And let me tell you, meeting a guy at the gym is like hitting the jackpot. You know he's committed to his body, which means he's dedicated to self-improvement in all areas, if you catch my drift.



Forget about meeting dudes at church or work—those are so last season. The gym is where it's at, my friends. 

Here are six fabulous reasons why working out will make your life sparkle:

1. You're in prime position to meet a swole mate.
2. Those endorphins make everyone look cuter.
3. Gym dates are an excuse to wear your tightest leggings or tank tops.
4. You can spot a potential date while spotting your bench press.
5. Working out together is a bonding experience like no other.
6. After a good workout, everything feels better—even flirting!



So, my fellow gym-goers, get ready to flex not just your muscles but your dating game. The gym isn't just for gains anymore—it's the hottest spot in town for love connections and sweaty rendezvous.


 Yes, feed your muscle fetish while feeding your need for physical fitness.

And if you didn't know, now you know you know, NubianNewYorkers 😊💪💪💓

Movies That Celebrate Gay Lives: Must-Watch Films - list 1

 I recently went to our super cool NubianNewYorkers group, which has a whopping 32,000 members, and I asked them for their absolute favorite movies with awesome gay plots and characters. 

And guess what?

 I got some seriously amazing responses! I'm about to spill all the juicy details on these fantastic flicks. But hey, if you know of any other movie that deserves a shoutout, drop its name in the comments below. 

Let's dive into a world of movie magic and LGBTQ+ awesomeness together!


MOONLIGHT

 - Moonlight is a powerful and visually stunning drama film that was directed by Barry Jenkins and released on October 21, 2016. The film features brilliant performances from actors such as Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris, and Trevante Rhodes.
Moonlight received critical acclaim for its portrayal of a young black man's journey of self-discovery and was awarded numerous accolades, including three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney, on whose unpublished play the film was based.
It also won Best Motion Picture – Drama at the Golden Globe Awards and the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.

 


  Naz & Malik:

 

 "Naz & Malik" (on Hulu) is a 2015 American independent drama film directed by Jay Dockendorf. The film follows the lives of two closeted Muslim teens, Naz and Malik, living in Brooklyn, New York.
 The boys spend their days working at a local convenience store and exploring their love for each other in secret. However, when they are discovered by the FBI and questioned about their involvement with an extremist group, their relationship is put to the test.
 The film explores themes of identity, religion, sexuality, and cultural clashes as Naz and Malik struggle to navigate their way through a society that does not fully accept them for who they are. The film is a poignant and timely exploration of the intersection of race, sexuality, and religion in contemporary America.


Six Degrees of Separation:


"Six Degrees of Separation" is a visually captivating and emotionally layered film that explores the intricacies of human connection and self-discovery.
Set against a vibrant backdrop of art, culture, and high society, the movie delves into the lives of complex characters whose paths intersect through a fascinating web of relationships.
At its core, the film beautifully weaves in a compelling exploration of the gay experience, showcasing the characters' struggles, desires, and the power of acceptance.

Bwoy:

"Bwoy" is a cinematic tour de force that explores the complexities of identity, desire, and love. Directed by John G. Young and starring Anthony Rapp and Jimmy Brooks.
This film tells the story of a man struggling to come to terms with his sexuality in a culture that often views homosexuality with suspicion and disdain.


Set against the lush backdrop of Jamaica, Bwoy is a visually stunning film that transports viewers to a world of sun-kissed beaches, vibrant street scenes, and lush tropical forests. But beneath the beauty of the island paradise lies a deep undercurrent of tension and repression, as our protagonist, Brad, grapples with his growing attraction to another man.


The film expertly explores the challenges that gay men face in conservative societies, from the fear of rejection to the threat of violence. But it also celebrates the power of love and connection, as Brad embarks on a journey of self-discovery and learns to embrace his true self.


With its gripping storyline, stunning cinematography, and standout performances from the entire cast, Bwoy is a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll. It's a moving and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be gay in a world that often seeks to silence our voices and erase our identities.


Cruising:

"Cruising" is a 1980 crime thriller film directed by William Friedkin and starring Al Pacino.
It follows an undercover police officer, Steve Burns (Pacino), who is assigned to investigate a series of murders in the New York City gay leather scene. As Burns immerses himself in the subculture, he becomes increasingly torn between his duties as a cop and his own identity. 


The film explores themes of sexuality, identity, and the dark side of human behavior.



 

Carol:

  "Carol" (2015) - revolves around the romantic relationship between two women, Carol and Therese, in the 1950s. 


The film delicately portrays their love story amidst societal challenges and the complexities of being gay during that era. It's a poignant exploration of identity, love, and acceptance in a time when such relationships faced significant societal taboos.



THE WOUND:

"The Wound" is a gripping and intense drama directed by John Trengove. The film follows the story of Xolani, a lonely factory worker who returns to his rural hometown in South Africa to participate in an ancient Xhosa circumcision ritual.


As a mentor to a group of teenage boys, Xolani is tasked with overseeing their initiation into manhood. However, when he takes a young initiate under his wing, a forbidden love affair unfolds, forcing Xolani to confront the dangerous and complex dynamics of tradition, masculinity, and sexuality.


With powerful performances and stunning cinematography, "The Wound" explores the deep-seated tensions between tradition and modernity, desire and duty, in a world where ancient rites collide with contemporary realities.

 

BAD EDUCATION:

"Bad Education" directed by Pedro Almodóvar, revolves around a complex narrative that weaves together themes of identity, deception, and the haunting impact of the past. At its core, it explores the relationship between two childhood friends, Ignacio and Enrique, whose lives take unexpected turns as they navigate love, art, and the blurred lines between reality and fiction.


The gay plot in "Bad Education" is intricately intertwined with the broader storyline. Ignacio, played by Gael García Bernal, is a pivotal character whose journey explores the challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals in a society marked by repression and secrecy. As the narrative unfolds, the film skillfully delves into the complexities of Ignacio's identity, capturing both the passion and vulnerability of his experiences.


Almodóvar employs his signature style, incorporating elements of melodrama and film noir, to create a visually stunning and emotionally charged exploration of sexuality. The cinematography and thematic elements contribute to a rich tapestry that immerses the audience in the characters' struggles and desires.


Without giving away the ending, "Bad Education" remains a compelling cinematic experience that invites viewers to question the nature of truth, the consequences of suppressing one's true self, and the profound impact of personal and societal expectations on individual lives.

 


THE INSPECTION:

 "The Inspection" - A young, gay Black man with few options for his future decides to join the Marines, willing to do whatever it takes to prove himself to his estranged mother and triumph in a system that would otherwise cast him aside.

However, even as he battles deep-seated prejudice and the grueling rigor of basic training, he finds unexpected camaraderie, strength and support in this new community, giving him a hard-won sense of belonging that shapes his identity and forever changes his life.

Release date: December 2, 2022 (USA)
Director: Elegance Bratton

 


 FINDING ME:

"Finding Me" (Amazon prime) is a 2009 independent romantic drama film directed by Roger Omeus Jr. The film follows the life of Faybien Allen, a young gay man living in New York City, who is struggling to find himself and his place in the world. 


Faybien's search for identity and love takes him on a journey of self-discovery as he navigates his relationships with his best friend, his ex-boyfriend, and a new love interest. Along the way, he confronts issues of family, religion, and societal expectations, all while trying to stay true to himself. 


The film explores themes of self-acceptance, personal growth, and the challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals in a society that often fails to understand or accept them. Ultimately, "Finding Me" is a hopeful and uplifting portrayal of the power of love and self-discovery in overcoming life's obstacles.

HOW TO CELEBRATE SAINT PATRICK'S DAY THIS WEEKEND!

 


Hey NubianNew Yorkers, ...hoping you find a four-leaf clover this weekend, I mean, I HOPE YOU GET LUCKY! 😂

Here in New York is like being in a big gumbo pot.  We got a million cultures bubbling together, and St. Patrick's Day is our chance to celebrate the Irish in style. 

 


Green everything, shamrocks everywhere, and enough food and drinks to make your lucky charm blush!  Here in the city, we know variety is the spice of life, so diggin' into different cultures isnt just educational, it keeps things spicy!

Now some folks might be history buffs and know that St. Patrick's Day, on March 17th every year, honors the patron saint of Ireland, the OG himself, Saint Patrick. Dude got kidnapped by the Irish when he was a kid, then came back later to spread the word about Christianity. Respect!  Anyway, people been celebrating him for over a thousand years, but hey, who doesn't love a good reason to party?


Now normally, St. Patrick's Day in the week can be a snoozefest. Everyone's gotta work, recharge their social batteries, you know the drill. But guess what? This year it's on a SUNDAY!  That's right, NubianNew Yorkers, a whole freakin' weekend to celebrate! We're talkin' Friday night, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday – a green extravaganza!



So, how can you get in on the fun? Here's the lowdown on goin' small or goin' all out:



Small-scale shenanigans:

1. Grab a green grub or drink at your favorite spot – Starbucks, McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, take your pick!  Green milkshakes for everyone!



2. Rock some green! Shirt, hat, socks, heck, wear a green garbage bag if that's your vibe. Go full leprechaun!


3. Dollar stores are your friend! Grab some cheap decorations, or rep your Irish pride with a green ribbon on your bag.  Festive on a budget, baby!


4. Feeling social? Sip some green brews with a friend or two at home, or hit the bar scene one night this weekend.

 

Big-time bashes:

1. The parade!  Duuuuuh!  Fifth Avenue turns into a river of green with floats, music, and enough Irish dancers to make your feet tap. 


2. Irish Feast Potluck!  Gather your crew and have everyone bring a dish – corned beef and cabbage, shepherd's pie, the whole shebang! Don't forget the green beer, of course.


3. Learn a Jig!  Channel your inner Riverdance with an Irish dance class. It's exercise, it's fun, and it's a great way to connect with Irish culture.


4. History buff alert!  Dive deep into Irish heritage. Museums, online research, the whole kit and kaboodle. You might be surprised by what you find!


5. Feeling adventurous?  Take a weekend trip to a city with a big Irish scene – Boston, Chicago, or even right here in NYC! 



Hey, let me know in the comments if I missed anything!  Your boy here is half-Jamaican, half-Panamanian, so I ain't exactly an Irish history professor. But hey, I'm always down to learn!

No matter what you do, NubianNew Yorkers, have a fantastic weekend!  Erin Go Bragh!  Have a gay old time!  

 


…And cheers!
