As a single gay man, I wonder whether it’s a good fit for me. I know there’s an active, officially sanctioned gay Resident Lifestyle group, but I’d still be in the minority in TV. I’ve visited a number of times, but it’s not easy to gauge what it would be like for me to live there.

I’m fit & active & know there are any number of activities that might appeal to someone who’s friendly, but an introvert, who just wants to live a peaceful, quiet life. I’ve been very fortunate throughout my life, & not experienced overt or discriminatory homophobia or a fear of living my life openly. Now is not the time for that to change.

I was reluctant to post this & generally avoid posting to forums or any form of social media, since threads can quickly turn negative. However, this is such an important decision, I feel compelled to try. I look forward to, & appreciate your honest, thoughtful comments. Thank you.

While I don’t push the lifestyles program because they try to sell you things ur may not be interested in, it is a good way to see what it’s all about. Other option is to rent for a few weeks or month prior to making up ur mind. As others have said, it’s a bit different right now due to COVID but for the most part things are opening up so you can enjoy the lifestyle. I’ve lived here10 years and enjoy everything that I wish too.
