Gay men are still men.
Nuts can be delicious in cake. Especially if they’re processed into meal or paste. I once had an almond and chocolate flourless torte that was to die for.
The Russian import grocery around the block has a wonderful layer cake that has hazelnut paste filling between the layers.
But I digress. Back to your discussion of people’s shallowness.
The goal is pretty clearly to get a foot in the door and get that first date, hoping that your scintillating personality will carry the day and result in a second date, despite the discrepancies between what you posted and reality.
I once dated a woman who lied about her age on her profile (this was in the pre-internet days, when communications often lacked photos as well). She lied very significantly about her weight – she was by far the largest woman I ever dated. I was very surprised when I saw her at the beginning of the date, but the strategy worked in her case. We continued dating for several months. I thought we had too many things not in common, however.
I know gay men can be very superficial and demanding regard appearances but I didn’t know they demanded wealth from potential suitors too. Is that a common thing, do gay men respond to displays of wealth and power the same way women generally do (very positively)?
If so, then being a gay guy sounds fairly unpleasant. You’d have to contend with the physical superficiality of a man but the gold digging impulses of a woman at the same time.
U mean women cant be superficial about looks :dubious:
They are better about looking past them.
You said it better than I ever could have.
I think it’s offset by the fact that gay men are still men, and as such are generally raging horndogs. So there’s not so much of the cat or mouse game that men and women play, where the men try to get laid, and the women try to extract some kind of relationship out of the deal, using sex as the prize.
Rather, it’s as if both sides are as eager to get laid as, well, men.
Or so my gay buddies tell me.
Thus leading to not always accurate, but amusing stereotypes: the idea that gay men’s bars are hurricanes of constant anonymous sex, while the joke on the other side is “Q: What does a lesbian bring on a second date? A: A U-Haul.”
By “hello message” I meant a brief introductory message introducing myself and asking one or two questions about the girl’s profile.
I do get your point, but it does seem the more well crafted messages you write that get no reply makes you invest less time in writing the next one, until you either have a boilerplate message with mad-lib spaces to fill in or a one sentence message.
