Posting your Age.

[BBB2.5]

Nor do I want to be chatting with an adult here who is side lining an agenda to talk to minors. It is like guilt by association. I don't think sexual orientation is even in the same ball park. It is not part of a legal argument.

Well Cube ...seems like you and I are the only ones concerned.
So, it's a no win situation from our side. I do understand everyones view. I still think knowing their age up front would be great. One last thing...sexual orientation will not land you in jail. Chatting with a minor will.
So, with that I will not bring this subject up again.

BBB - your concern was valid though with regards to chatting with minors. As Chuck64 pointed out, minors are banned from the boards, and Rob_E has a disclaimer posted. Will that stop everyone? Of course not, but using a good dose of common sense is critical when initiating conversations with others.

Good concern though!

Too old
Not good enough looking
Too young
Not muscular
Too fat
Too thin
Too gay
Too straight
Too black
Too white
Too religious
Too atheist
Too stupid
Too smart

I'm not too white,
I'm not too black,
I'm not too this,
I'm not too that!

Ooh, don't let me start lovin' myself... *sing*

OMG... does this make me too gay?

You can never be too gay.

 

[Matthew]

You can never be too gay.

You sure, Chuck?

 

[Chuck64]

He couldn't possibly be gay. No queen would ever wear stuff with THAT many sequins.

 

[freshmeat1984]

That's not gay! That's 70's-TV-Show-Fashion... Looks like a combination of the Venus of Milo (collar), a Persian carpet (cape) and a torero (man)

No, it makes you look like a cocksucker but that's all... nothing to worry about I guess?

BBB I'm glad you brought it up and here is the thing. We have lots of new people on the forum...many from out of the US. I think this is a topic that should come up at times to keep people current of a standard.

If a post is more than a sentence or two long, you can usually pick up hints of maturity - or lack thereof.

yeah, only stupid people make short posts.

This reminds me of a guy I dated a couple of times. He told me via e-mail that he was 40. I said cool. Our first date he reveals to me over dinner that he was not 40 but--66! I was cool with that. I have fucked a guy who was 70 and he looked 50 and the cock worked like he was 20. Anyway, he doesn't want to have sex with me because I was too white looking as a black guy. He loves darker skinned black guys. I told him that that was fine by me. Be with who you like. But I was disappointed because I told him everything about me that may be a problem through e-mail. He wasn't so truthful. But I was truthful on my first date with him that I wasn't going to be committed to him considering how my long term relationship turned out. I wasn't going to hold out for anyone anymore.

People aren't getting the love they want from people is because they get in the way of it. People don't really value each other as a person. Everything seems like "made to serve, made to order". They look at you like they are out buying an automobile. Trade you in when some newer model comes in. I think people have changed and I don't know whether for the better or for worse. I am not as optimistic about love, romance and relationships like I used to be. I still get sex from guys though but never anything serious love. Which is cool by me. I survive. I had to readjust and adapt.
Some of the guys are very particular whatever the reasons are: skin color, age, penis size, and etc. I am not. I get sex. I will get sex until I can't do it anymore. I meet lots of interesting kindred spirits along the way.

I stand corrected.

Hey.
Wait a minute.
Who said they were meant as opposites?




BTW, I'm 99 years old; almost.

I hope you weren't being serious (about the opposites). You posted contrasting qualities to represent the differing reasons for possible discrimination. Although, it wasn't stated outright, your post strongly implies that the examples were meant to be dichotomous.

I don't have my age posted -- I'll openly admit to being in my late-30's, but have a reason for not wanting to be more specific than that.


But more to the point, I would *much* rather someone who didn't want to disclose their age to feel comfortable keeping that a secret than to feel pressure from the community to make up an age to go in the profile. As we've seen in other threads recently involving a recently-departed member who had 'fictionalized' some aspects of his life on here, it's *much* safer to say nothing at all, than to risk being caught later on and then vigilante-investigated in order to find out what else you've made up.


You know what I mean?

 

[Shelby]

My age, sex, race and/or sexual orientation change regularly.
