I got rid of growlr because no one really hit me up and those that did were too sleezy. Not touching Grindr with a ten foot pole

People can be really rude. I was looking at someone's profile and it said "Just because you have the same sexual preference as women doesn't mean you have to act like one." Seriously??
Oh
I didn't realize he did that. It looks great; I just assumed it was official art for something or other that I didn't recognize that he'd finished watching or playing.
but seriously what is it

Yeah, I can't be bothered with people like that. So much ignorance on that app.
That's a really great picture. Talking about pictures. I borrowed

He has amazing skill when it comes to drawing and he is also part of gaygaf, he just never posts. Another pic for my nintendo loving folks
Lmao how gross. Every time I see a profile like that, or any profile that mentions how "masc" they are, I just eyeroll and mentally chalk them up as an idiot.

Amazing skills. Tell him I said he's a great artist.
I do the same thing. The term straight acting also gets on my nerves.

It's just so disgusting.
Some gay people can be more heteronormative than straight people I swear
also, upon doing some "research" work via facebook, I found out my co-worker crush's dad is a huge Republican bigot homophobe goldnut, holy shit, He might not have the same beliefs as his dad but god damn, I don't know if I even want to talk to him anymore. I dodged a huge bullet there.

That's why it gets on my nerves it's what they mean behind it when they say that.

It's dumb in the sense that masculinity is not exclusive to straight people. I don't use it, but I think it simply implies "not feminine", and strictly as a descriptive term it kind of gets the job done. Again, discrimination and overall people being jerks are the issue. If a guy refers himself to straight acting, then I think it's harmless.
Thx
Wow not posted there in years.. I've seen some cute guys in the last pages
I should present myself!33yo Parisian and single! Hi!
Lil' story for the road. I had to remove that pic from Grindr cause everyone was thinking i was tall and muscular, which is not true at all
That's sort of the problem. It's not just a descriptive term, and its usage implies that it is a straight trait. It's basically a shorthand way for insecure masculine gay men to signal, "No, I'm not like those other fags. I'm normal."

Sweet Jesus.
I see. I really didn't know it inherently implied that - again, literally translating that into Spanish doesn't result in a term that is actually used here.

I don't think it inherently implies that, but those are the implications in how it is commonly used in the States, at least. Maybe it has a more neutral connotation in other places.
See you fell in the same trap!

Don't you hate it when a guy pretends to want to go on a date but just wants to hook up?.
I mean if you just want to hook up say so, I would have said no thanks but be upfront.
How does one go from a meet up at a public setting to a persons place?. I'm not stupid.

Part of why I've been on a long, long dating hiatus now. Dating sites are 99.9999% hook ups, and you go out of your way to make the remaining 0.0001% waste their time?

Agreed, I always get rejected because I want to get to know the guy a bit before meeting and then having a normal date without sex. :'(

Exactly. I have been on a hiatus as well but wanted to try things out.
I think that might have been a mistake.
Damn, rejected outright?. They weren't worth the time to begin with.
My friend took me to some singles place and not a single person looked my way.
It annoyed me but that was far as it went for me. I know I am an awesome individual who looks decent enough. Their loss.

Yeah, the last guy said he wanted to know me because he found me really attractive and blablabla, then after a few phone conversations he was like:
"This guy blew me at the theater yesterday."
"Umm..."
"What? Something wrong with that?"
"Um, yeah, I guess since you wanted to get to know me..."
*he hung up in the middle of my sentence*
I guess I was just naive or something, lol.
Wow. Pretty despicable. Sorry to hear it.

Well, I know looks is all people have to go on but that sounds suspect to begin with.
I tend to actually read profiles before saying anything then again I am not looking for a hookup.
He just wanted you for your body obviously. But what baffles me is why would he say those things to begin with?.

Honestly, I don't think about it, I've been rejected too many times that it kinda washes off of me. I'm picky, so I guess i reject people too, but I don't try to deceive them at least.
And if he wanted me for my body, then he should really think again, not much to want lol

IIRC homosexuality was seen as a privileged condition by some sections of Gnostic Christianity because it liberated the individual from procreation or raising children to devote more attention to introspection/their spirituality.

I had a guy on Growlr, the supposed bastion of "friendly" bears, tell me to hit the gym for another two years and then come back to the app.

They'd be broadly seen as heathens by 'conventional' Christianity though (like it's something Protestants, Catholics, and etc, would all easily agree on) so I'm not sure how relevant it is as an outlier, beyond the point that even historically not all of 'Christianity' is opposed to homosexuality or whatever.

That app was trash for me sucks it was the same for you. I bet you look fine.

What the fuck is "gay fat" and how is it different from regular ol' "fat"?
I assume it is akin to 'Hollywood ugly.'

Grindr update: It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I've been talking to 2 guys and they seem pretty cool. Some guy randomly sent me a nude but I've been warned that things like that happen sometimes lol.
