BadBob214 Posted yesterday at 08:42 AM Report Posted yesterday at 08:42 AM (edited) I live in rural Ireland. There are no saunas and very few cruising spots here. The only way to realistically hook up is using apps. These have, at least, made it possible as in the past it was VERY difficult to meet guys. However, the amount of responses where men don't read my profile before messaging drives me nuts. My profile; Easy going masculine, versatile gay guy. Good hygiene and expect same. No bottom only guys and no guys into cross dressing (No offence intended just not my thing) Can travel CANNOT accommodate. Seems fairly fucking simple. Had 27 replies between Thursday and this morning. 19 were from guys who are bottom only. 16 of which can't accommodate AND are bottom only. 12 of these have profile photos of them wearing dresses, suspenders and stockings or panties. Additionally, 4 more can't accommodate. Do guys not read profiles? Drives me fucking nuts!!! Edited yesterday at 08:45 AM by BadBob214 1 2 Quote

Most guys (on apps) have a reading comprehension attention span of between 3 to 5 seconds. shorten & use bullet points 1 Quote
phillygwm Posted 21 hours ago Report Posted 21 hours ago 10 hours ago, BadBob214 said: Do guys not read profiles? Drives me fucking nuts!!! OF COURSE they can read. They just think that the comments don't apply to them. When I was young, I relied on old fashioned personal ads in these things called newspapers 🙂 I stated that I wanted guys under X years old (i.e. my age range.) I couldn't believe the number of responses that started "I'm 64 but look and act much younger." Now that I'm much closer to 64 than 24, I'd like to think I'm not like those guys. 1 Quote
cockfun69 Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago Similar for me, so I travel nearly 1.5hr for the nearest regional sauna for a monthly fuck fest (top/vers/btm). How are far you from Dublin or Belfast? Quote
Alexpdx Posted 17 hours ago Report Posted 17 hours ago I was monogamous with my wife for much of the era in which hookup/dating apps emerged. My female friends would complain constantly about how awful men were - I didn’t disbelieve them, but I was puzzled - I couldn’t conceive of people behaving that badly. Then I got divorced and started using the apps and I get it (to my dismay). So many men feel entitled to sex/having their needs met. It’s just awful. I just discovered Sniffies has a limit of 500 blocks. I know this because it’s giving me a warning that I’m close to my limit! Haha. 1 Quote

Not just the apps, but everywhere men do in person cruising for hookups. We also have a surplus of "sides" that are absolutely convinced that they can show me how to have the sex of my life without penetration and more often than not having to even touch each others "icky dick."

I did a City Paper personal once about 30-something years ago and it was...an "interesting" experience. But in re to apps, I've had a similar experience. Mine says "no pic, no chat", give me a bit of opening banter, and here is what I'm NOT looking for (list). Amazingly, it's like my profile outcome excludes anything and everything I was seeking. 🙄 1 Quote

I never liked ads which were full of "thou shalt nots" Sure, if there are hard nos, include them, but many people are looking for one race, must be muscle bound, young, self-suffient, etc. A fantasy, though I suppose someone like that would be available for rent 🙂 Quote
badubydo Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago (edited) People in fact do not read profiles. my profile on sniffies and Grindr (before I deleted it) said I cannot host. I had people message me. We agree to meet up, then they go “what’s your address?” Excuse me? What does my profile say? Then they go “well I can’t host. Car play?” then they want ME to find a place to fuck. Like what? I consider myself a versatile bottom. More bottom. My profiles/bios state that. They also say who I will top. (Younger/fem/smooth/slender/skinny) I still get hairy/overweight/old guys sending me ass pictures. Edited 2 hours ago by badubydo Quote
