Events for November 10, 2024 - November 10, 2024

Tuesday November 19, 6-9pm Location: ACAS (260 Spadina Ave, Unit 410) Gay community is infamous for idolizing hypermasculine features and rejecting femininity and other non-masculine body types. These values are reinforced and replicated by the social media and within the community that is already closely connected to one another and lack diverse representation of lifestyles. There is understandably a growing concern for body dysmorphia and eating disorders for the same reasons why young women and girls are susceptible to these mental disorders. The goal of the workshop is to encourage men to think about the role and impact the social media has in their lives personally and how to moderate its use. Facilitated by our ACAS placement student, Ethan With support from Ryan Contact Ryan at men@acas.org for more info

For Asian gay, bi, queer, cis and trans men Remember that time you exchanged messages with that cutie on instagram with the slick photo grid and made a date to meet up, only to discover he was awkward af and had no game to speak of? (No? Okay maybe that was just me...) In this month’s edition of HumpDay, we're going to dive into the ancient art of *flirtation* so when you meet someone at the bar, in your apartment, the grocery store or jammed in a crowded streetcar, you'll know how to escalate that small talk or put on the brakes. We're going to give share some classic lines to say, practice some body language exercises, share tips, tricks and wisdom as well as discuss how to deal rejection. Come with an open mind, and a flirty attitude, as well as some food to share because this is a potluck and hangry sure ain't sexy. ACAS Office @ 260 Spadina Rd. Unit #410 6:00pm: Meet, Greet, Eat 6:45pm: Flirt 7:30pm: Break 7:45pm: Chat 8:15pm: Wrap up / Check out For more information, contact Zack (gaap@acas.org) or Greg (mensexualhealth@acas.org).
