m_d_hI think I've written in the past about how when I spend too much time searching online dating/hookup profiles they end up pissing me off. I think I'm more hardened about them now, but today on my lunch break while looking at Reddit fellas I saw a couple examples of what I've complained about before.
(1) How I'm pretty much stuck with younger guys because older guys only want younger guys: I saw a hot 38-year-old, clicked to see his profile and posts, and he's only looking for guys aged 22-24 who are twinks (smooth & skinny body type) with circumcised cocks. If you're a gay guy who peruses the dating/hookup profiles, this kind of profile is not news to you, you've seen this kind of thing zillions of times.
But 22-24? So fucking specific. There's no reason to exclude 21 or 25 year olds, is there? To me, this guy is obviously shopping for a pre-existing fantasy and has zero interest in expanding his horizons. If I were 22-24 years old, wouldn't I see this and think -- he's going to dump me on my 25th birthday, why bother getting to know him?
(2) How many online profiles are openly bigoted in other ways -- some guys specify they are looking for a white guy, or for a black guy, or they call people who might like them derogatory names like "no chubs". Ugh.
(3) This isn't as common, but I saw a personal ad that scrolled on and on with very specific requirements and instructions for his potential applicants -- yet he didn't even bother to supply a picture of himself! It sounded a lot like a job posting, must have five years experience with cocksucking LOL.
I'm more patient with this stuff now than I have been in the past. But if a hot-looking guy messages me, I don't give a damn what age he is, what race he is, what his immigration status might be, his height or weight, whether top or bottom, his educational attainment, his experience level -- mainly I'm looking to see whether he's assertive enough to keep a conversation going (without me having to do all the work), shares some of my interests, is willing to show me what he looks like, and has some verbal intelligence & manners.
So, that's Reddit in late 2020, heh.
