CYBER RUDENESS / Part 2
So instead of saying ''no blacks or Asians or Latinos, etc.,'' why not say something like ''I'm usually attracted to white men or Asian men or black men or Latino men or men like me (or whatever kind of men you're interested in). If you're into jocks, masculine, muscular, and/or athletic guys, why not say that you're ''usually attracted to jocks / masculine / muscular / athletic guys'' rather than saying something like ''no fats / fems / queens''. And while we're at it, can we please permanently retire the label “straight-acting and -appearing,'' which is one of the most stupid terms I've ever heard, and not even that useful a description since one man's “straight-acting”, might be another's “crude, obnoxious bore”. Likewise, if you're into bears, try saying that you're into bears (and better yet, specify what kind of bears) instead of saying ''no skinny boys, or hairless twinks, or muscle marys, or gym queens/gym bunnies, or steroid-induced porn star wannabes.'' If you're not into younger guys, or older men, then try indicating the specific or relevant ages/age ranges of the men that you want to hook up with (realizing of course that some guys may not look as old or as young as they really are).
So the next time you're online, think well before you type. That way you're much more likely to get what you want without turning off the guys that you don't want, or the guys that you do want who were turned off by the way you expressed your interests.
