Whose Loss Is It Anyway?
Every so often, FuelMix does a field test, a sort of dipstick to test the level of stupidity in the urban fag.Recently, FuelMix posted an online ad specifically stating what he was looking for. The ad requested stats, face and bod pics. It also said the fag had to host. The replies came in thick and fast – 19 of them sitting in his Inbox in the space of a few hours. FuelMix was initially delighted, but the joy soon gave way to incredulity as he started going through them.
There were the usual oneliners. The stats with no pics. The stats with bod pics but no face pic. The stats with a dick pic. The stats with a bod pic saying they couldn’t host.
Of the 19 replies, only 5 correctly responded with stats, face and bod pics, stating they could host.
FuelMix narrowed the 5 down to 1, hooked up and had a blast.
But that’s not the end of the story. FuelMix has a policy of responding to all e-mails pursuant to his online ads. FuelMix wrote back to the deficient responders, quoted his ad, pointed out what was missing and invited them to reply again if they wished.
Instead, FuelMix received a combination of e-mail abuse and soppy excuses ranging from bisexuality, infidelity, discretion, to unfamiliarity with digital cameras. The righteous fags simply could not bring themselves to admit that they had deliberately withheld the info that the ad had requested. FuelMix wrote back declining to meet them, pointing out he would not meet without a face pic. Period.
Some of the rejected fags responded with further insults. FuelMix shrugged. Afterall, some lucky fag did get to swallow his load.
So, who’s loss is it anyway?
By way of update, FuelMix was chatting to some buddies about online hookups. All agreed that the failure rate was stratospheric and that the Snowden revelations about NSA spying were disquieting. What was interesting was the suggestion to put in a detailed personal description of oneself, but refusing to swap any pics at all online from now on. Instead, it would be made clear in the ad that a meeting in Starbucks would occur first and then a hookup if both clicked.

Those are the exact same excuses I hear all the time too.
ReplyDeleteThey want it all, but give little back.
Considering how eager they are to shoot their load they only thing they seem to be good at is shooting themselves in the foot. You called it like it is.
