yeah yeah (insert jokes here) no really, ever been to Craigslist ? Have you checked out the M4M? It's all porn! All about sex hook ups and people showing their junk and their booties! I mean come on! Ok, ok, yes I've known it was like this for years and I never really thought about it. Well this past weekend, my cousin wanted to meet someone and I thought...why not CL? So I went and posted an ad for him in the straight section M4W (yes take my gay card now) and I was surprised at how the ads differed from ours! I mean, the W4M were so sweet and nice and the M4W were really genuine too! You can tell these people want relationships, not hook ups and quick anonymous BJ's, they really are looking for "the one". Ok so a very small percentage of the ads were geared a bit towards intimate situations, but a very small percentage and they sure as hell weren't as graphic as some of the ones I read in M4M. So after doing this for my cousin this weekend I started to think about society's perception of gay people, and how maybe they are a bit justified. If I was a straight person who went and read M4M on CL and then read the straight ads, I definitely would think gay men are just all about sex. I have a straight female friend who I'm chatting with online right now and we are looking at the M4W ads and she's like go to the M4M ads, and I was like...uh no, it's all porn and smut. How sad, I can't look for a potential partner on line with my friend and compare ads and giggle and talk about how cool he is, or how smart he sounds etc, because all my ads in my community listing show dick pics and graphic language. How sad. I mean I'm not a prude or anything but it just looks really bad for us and I feel bad for the straight guys who are looking for motorcycle buds or golfing buddies (I placed a golf ad once, oh lawd...the responses I got had nothing to do with golf!). It's a shame actually.
;) peace
