Owner Of A Gay Bar Bans Bridal Showers — Page 7

This site is a convent compared with the Jaily days!

Jeepers...the Rambles was so much easier!

I want to go back to Gaveston's point about wasting someone's time. I really don't think anyone needs to feel like they've intruded on someone's personal time if they respond to their Grindr ad. You're under no obligation to even respond if someone sends you a message, so I wouldn't be worried about wasting someone's time (any more than being on Grindr, Scruff and the like are already a time waster).

As for age, no I don't think it's quite the same thing as race, but I also don't get arbitrary delineations about age for the most part, either. I get it if I see someone who's 22 saying "No one over 30." That makes sense to me. When I see a 50 year old man saying the same thing, I can't help but roll my eyes. Personally, I usually like people around my age, but I've dated both people I thought were a little old and a little young for me.

Generally, I'm not normally a fan of blondes or redheads, but it doesn't mean I've ruled out every one on the planet on principle.

It's fine to believe you have a type and/or rigidly adhere to said type, but as I've and others have stated, when you're blanketly stating No Blacks, No Asians, etc, then you're sharing a pathology that sounds like it goes a lot deeper than your preferences for meeting a dude off a hook-up site. But, as I've already said, it's good for people like me to weed them out and I'm neither black nor Asian.

Nervous on bww? Stop!

And for the record, the Rambles were not just for evenings.

Piping hot.

This is getting carried away.

As usual, I'm really late the party. Honestly, I could care less about bachelorette parties in gay bars. I don't care if it's a group of women, frat boys, or gays, if you're being super loud and obnoxious, then it's time to leave. I don't take any more personal offense to seeing a bachelorette party at a gay bar than seeing my parents in a gay bar. To me, it's not offensive unless someone is intentionally trying to offend me and in the case of bachelorette parties, it only gets offensive when they get obnoxious and out of control, but that's the case with anyone.

As for the cruising sites and whatnot, I saw a lot of laundry lists and it really just streamlined the process for me. I do think a lot of it is ridiculous and/or narcissistic, but it certainly made it easier for me to pass them over. I already know if they are super picky, shallow, or immature then it's just not going to work out for either or a relationship or a hookup. Too many criteria can be a real turnoff. I categorize the age/race/size preferences on the same shelf with kinks and fetishes. If that is what they deem important, then let them meet up with the others who find that important and leave more less discriminating types for me. The good old days of cruising in person (before everyone was secretly filming you with a cell phone and posting to the internet) was actually a LOT easier. And more fun.

And I'm sorry, but NOBODY gets to play the victim and act all offended if I refuse to have unprotected sex with them after telling me they are HIV+. Doubly so if they start cyber stalking me for days after I end the crazy conversation. That's the sort of thing that turned me off those websites. It's easy to forget how psycho people can be.
