Many gay men spend a lot of time in the gym hoping to look like ancient Greek gods someday.

Your fashion sense and how you carry yourself matter too, especially in big cities like Jakarta. But maybe because looking for approval is something that comes naturally in me, I need affirmations too sometimes. I think many people will agree. I got in touch with other gay men to learn what their journey to self love is like. I have always been undermined because of my appearance.

Once, someone called me ugly to my face. I did feel exploited working in customer service for big corporations before because I knew those corporations were profiting far more from having me there than I was from being there.
