So my profile on Friendster says I'm looking for "friends." This is clearly a problem. For the first time since mid-college, girls are taking interest in me--okay, so certain girls quit trying in high school when I received the superlative, "Broadway Bound," but many females thought I was on their market for quite some time. Take Friendster, for instance. Chicks on that site dig me since my status has gone from "In a Relationship" to "Single." Amazing.
Case in point: today I received a message from, oh, we'll call her Jocelyn. She messaged me and wrote, "You're adorable." Admittedly, I love a good compliment, but come on. Jocelyn is originally from Southhampton. Under affiliations, she lists Young Republicans Club.
Simply unacceptable. Does she know I'm partial to men? Does she know that her people hate me?
Oh the politics of Friendster. What is a man to do? Does one suck it up and put "Relationship Men," "Dating Men" on his profile in fear of the inevitable barrage from e-stalkers? Does one hope that those savvy Friendster users will be able to de-code "Friends" as meaning, "Okay, I'm gay, but I just don't want to be on the e-market too much. And I wouldn't mind making out with you if you're hot, smart, funny, and basically perfect. But you have to be a man."? Maybe I'll contact my Friendster peeps and persuade them to put the previous sentences as a new category.
Comments? Advice? Do I write Jocelyn and the other chicks back describing the fact that their efforts will be fruitless?

I don't know much about these types of websites...the online personal types, and I'm not gay, but isn't there a website like Friendster out there that is geared toward same sex relationships?
I completely understand what you are saying about blatantly stating that you are gay on Friendster...and I agree, I don't think it would be a good idea because there are a lot of pricks out there. It just doesn't sound like Friendster is the right place for you...
(It's hard to read people's sincerity level over these "comments", so I just wanted to say that I mean this in the most sincere way. Good luck on your pursuit!:) )
