Hey guys — I just wanted to drop this in here.
One of the big things I really want to focus on this year is building a better, stronger community and actually talking to more guys. Not just online engagement, not just comments or likes, but real conversations and real connections.
Over the past year, one of the things I’ve come to enjoy the most is connecting with so many different guys. I’ve even made some new local friends recently, and I want to keep that going. But I also want to talk to guys all over the world — guys who love underwear, sure — but also guys who want to take it beyond that and actually become friends. The kind of friendships where you talk about life, about stuff that matters, and really get to know each other.
That’s been really important to me lately, because I think a lot of us are just trying to find our chosen family. And I think a lot of underwear guys feel the same way. There can be a lot of isolation. A feeling that people don’t quite get you. Sometimes your partner doesn’t fully get it, and most of the time your family definitely doesn’t.
But this thing we all share — our love of underwear — brings us together. And from there, it allows us to build something bigger and deeper on top of it. I’ve made so many friends through the podcast who are way more than just guests who came on to share a story. Some of those connections have grown into real friendships, and there are others I’d love to get closer to as well.
It really comes down to finding the time to talk, getting to know each other, and letting friendships grow naturally. That’s honestly one of my main goals this year.
So I want guys to reach out to me. Send me a DM. Send me an email. I know I’m starting school in a week, and it might take me a little bit to get back to you sometimes, but I really do try to respond to everyone who takes the time to write — whether it’s about the podcast, the blog, or just to say hello.
It brings me a lot of joy. Truly. When I see other guys enjoying the podcast and the community we’re building, it makes me really happy. This community has been underserved for a long time, and it feels good to finally have a space where we can just be free about who we are.
At the beginning, this was actually kind of hard for me. I was very much the guy behind the curtain. I didn’t want to be front and center. I didn’t want the spotlight. But with the podcast, that changed. You get to hear my voice now, not just read words on a blog. You hear what I think, the questions I ask, the conversations you’d probably want to have yourselves. And honestly? It’s been so much fun.
I love doing the podcast. Like… really love doing it. And after a pretty up-and-down couple of years, having this in my life means a lot. I want to open up to more guys, get to know people here in the U.S. and abroad, and eventually meet up in person. There are so many people from the podcast and the blog that I still haven’t met face-to-face yet, and I’d love for that to happen — even trips, meetups, vacations, doing fun stuff together down the line.
That’s the goal.
So if you want to get in touch, please reach out. Say hello. Introduce yourself. Ask me questions. Talk to me about underwear… or talk to me about something completely different. If you want to say, “Hey, I’m an underwear lover, but I’d love to talk about X,” do it. Once we both know we’re underwear guys, we don’t have to explain anything. We just get it. And from there, it’s easier to go deeper and build real friendships.
You can find me on social — UNB Tim on all platforms. If you send a DM and don’t hear back, leave a comment on one of my posts saying, “Hey, I sent you a DM,” because those hidden inboxes are a pain and I sometimes miss them. You can also email me through the site.
And if I don’t respond the first time, please don’t think I’m ignoring you. Sometimes messages get buried — I get a lotof underwear emails — so feel free to follow up. A simple “Hey, just checking in” is totally fine. Persistence is okay. I get it.
I really hope to hear from you this year. And I hope you all have an amazing year ahead, filled with good connections, good conversations, and a lot of fun along the way.
