"No fats, fems, Blacks, or Asians" "No one over 40" "No bears" "No twinks" etc. etc.
Blah blah blah. Have you looked at personal ads lately? Fuck, there are a lot of people with laundry lists of what they don't like.
Apparently many white gay men have no tact and never wonder what it would feel like to be a black gay man reading those sort of ads. While I guess some of this is physical attraction, but whenever I see an ad that states "No!" to certain racial groups, all I can think is "Racist." Someone who would put forth that much effort to make someone else feel undesirable is probably a nasty person inside. In my opinion.
Similarly, many skinny, smooth guys must fervently believe that they will never gain weight or grow hair on assorted places. Hahahahaha. Talk to most of us 40-somethings and we will confess that we never really expected those extra pounds to magically appear on their tummies and that our hair would migrate south.
My advice, not that you want to hear it, is to list things that you like in your online personal ads "Canning pears, lichen collecting, double fisting!" and skip the nasty laundry lists of things you don't like, you know the list that makes you look like a mean person. Of course, if you are a shallow, mean person, please say so in the ad, that would make things a lot easier.
