Hi. I'm an older chub, who has been chubby since his late twenties many decades ago. After years of enduring the negativity found so often in the US LGBTQ community towards those who aren't twinks or muscle jocks, I left in 2006 and have never looked back. The most accepting and loving men I found were in the Middle East, followed closely by Turkey, South Africa and the UK. Russia and the Netherlands and Greece (where I currently live) are also far less discriminatory and much more appreciative than the US. Germany is also more tolerant, as is Switzerland and Austria. Generally, I don't plan to return to the US - the ageism and hatred towards non-conforming bodies is disgusting and cruel - no wonder the suicide rate among young gays there is so alarmingly high.
