Some Social Advice For Those In The Life!

It has always been, and possibly will always be the modus-operandi, for Gay men seeking love and sex, to visit the Bars.

Yes, that is a tried and tested venue for at least meeting potential Fuck Buddies, or a Hook Up.

However, with the advent of The Internet, Internet dating and other Social Networking Internet sites.

The Gay Clubs seem to be getting less importance these days.
WHY, because some of us older and younger seem to feel that the Internet provides variety, more access, or even makes it possible to connect to more individuals, that one may never be able to personally, at any Bar.

However, the Internet is very IMPERSONAL, and not every face, personal profile, or overture, means Sincerity, Safety, or Compatibility.

There are more Risks of getting Killed, Injured, Mugged, or Disappointed with Internet dating, than with the traditional Face To Face approach.

Some Internet dating may bring you a Quick Lay, but I find that it does not allow you to scrutinize your desired partner physically, and very often when you meet, he does not appear according to his photo or personal specifications. And you end up being very disappointed, after so many chats, and photo sharing exercises with him.

Another disappointment is that most Internet Photos are not Current to the moment. And in order to be attracted or appealing to me (personally), you have to be just that- PHYSICALLY APPEALING!

However, all is not lost with Internet Solicitation or even Cruising!

It makes for good practice, some conversation, and even some surprise.

The same Frivolities, Pettiness, Selfcenteredness, and Vanity, that is expressed on the Streets, the Clubs, the Bars, and elsewhere, are also expressed on The Internet too.

Have a Happy And Reflective Pride Celebration!
