Ever since I started logging on to gay social networking sites, I always find a common theme every time I'm online: lies. Men like to lie about their weight, their age, their penis size, and even have the audacity to post false or misleading pictures. I tend to ignore weight because it doesn't tell me whether it's 150 pounds of gym muscle or 150 pounds of Mexican food. At the same time, I ignore age because there are men out there who look younger than their age. I still befriend those who look older than their age because they might have become that way from taking copious amounts of alcohol or ecstasy.
However, something I always remain cautious about is a user's photo. There are times when it's obvious when the user has posted a picture that isn't recent, especially when the quality of the photo is very vintage. Also, it is pretty obvious that the picture is false altogether when the quality is pixelated or too good to be true. Honestly, I don't see the point of posting a picture that isn't you at all. The only thing it really achieves is probably giving me an idea of who I have to think about if I plan on having sex with the impostor. I don't know much, but I know those users aren't going to get very far so I wish them luck on finding Helen Keller's great great homo grandson.
Granted, there are times when a user will post a picture of themselves, but it won't be the portion that I want to see, such as their genitals or their shoes. I understand that some people have a foot fetish, but I've never heard of a sneaker fetish. Either way, I'm more inclined to chat with a user who has a picture with their face on it. Shirtless pictures get bonus points whether they're fit or not because it lets me know if I should be flirty or friendly.
Aside from men lying about their image, the worst part about viewing a user's profile is the username or 'about me' section. This gives them the liberty to name themselves something blatantly misleading. For example, a Chinese man's username could be "10 inches" or a black man's username could be "honest Abe." Of course, if I wanted to have a misleading username for my own profile it would be "virgin" or "pure." In all honesty, I have logged on to some gay social networking sites and viewed profiles where there's a picture of an old, fat man who's username was stud55. Obvioulsy, him and I have two different definitions of the word 'stud.' I didn't double check, but if there's anything honest about his profile it was probably the '55' because it was probably the year he was born in.
The 'about me' section is an extended version of the username where users get the chance to talk more about how amazing they are in bed or how beautiful their penis is. I hate it when users have the most foolish descriptions, such as "good-looking" and "nice cock." Shouldn't I be the judge of that? Have you ever had your own cock up your own ass? If you have, then please let me know your secret so I can save myself from a lot of trouble. The point is, we all have different interpretations of what is 'good-looking' or a 'nice cock.' If you ask me, 'good-looking' tends to rule out 95% of Asians and 'nice cock' tends to be a man who is cut or African-American.
I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I am saying I'm honest. I want to put that I'm funny, outgoing, and love to party. Instead, I put that I want to make you laugh, I'm loud, and I'm an alcoholic. This would probably explain why I don't get very many replies in my inbox.
