Seeing a cute guy who you think you'd connect with incredibly on a dating app as a closeted guy but can't like their profile bc he's not gonna want a closeted bf, gotta be a top 3 worst experiences of all time.

tbh at least give it a chance, they might surprise you unless they explicitly have on their profile that they won't take closeted guys

Also I feel like being closeted is a transient state that depends on your particular life circumstances at the moment; if you’re interested in pursuing a relationship with another guy, you presumably will be fully out at some point down the line

True but also you’ll never really be fully out, people will automatically assume things about you based on the way you present and if you don’t have a sign that says “I’m gay/trans/queer/whatever” you can’t stop everyone from thinking you’re something different to who you are

Thank you for taking the time to write this, but I have no plans to come out ever because of my circumstances.

Thank you for taking the time to write this, but I don't mind the way I present. I don't mind that people assuming things about me that aren't true, I'm comfortable with the way I am. It's just that my attraction to men is tabooed where I live and to my family and friends, so coming out isn't a necessity to me. Ideally, I will move away as soon as possible and be with someone special without ever coming out. Which would be unfair to my special someone.

I hope you’re doing what’s best for you. And I hope you’re safe. I was like you once. But I realized I would rather live true to myself and potentially get hate crimed than to never have lived as myself. I have done it all. I was out as a queer man until I realized my manhood was a costume. Then, I started doing feminine things. Wearing dresses, makeup, nail polish, and the like to test the waters. And I am out to my friends now! To my family… only a select few know.

You deserve love. Closeted people are not undeserving of love. I hope you find that someone :)
