Manhunt
I'm in NYC for a couple days on business. It's fucking freezing here. When I get back to DC, I am barracading myself in my nice warm room until spring. I met with about 20 different people who all love to hear themselves talk. I could have done all of this over the phone. Seriously.
Anyway, we met up with our friends, Robert and Dan. We briefly went to a place called "Therapy" but since they were not serving any Paxil, we left. We had a nice meal at "The Eatery." And then walked 43 blocks in the blustery wind. Love it!
Whenever Robert is around he seems to be on all these gay chat rooms. I briefly tried to use his laptop to check my email and all these windows popped-up with names like "hotdaddynyc" or "pigdaddy47" or "stickapieceoffurnitureinmyass19." He stayed at our place in DC about a month ago and met up with one of my neighbors across the street. This whole thing happened in about 10 minutes. He was using my laptop to make this sexual transaction (which I did not authorize, by the way). I have now learned the majority of guys in my neighborhood are horndogs and, yes, I've even seen some of their "locked" pictures. Y'all are naughty. Just be good.
This whole chat room, manhunt thing is such a new phenomenom to me. I was never able to experience these type of meet ups during my single years. It seems like everyone I know has a profile on it (even some that are in a relationship). I wonder if I were single if I would be on there. I kinda doubt it. I'm too shy.

It's kind of a whole universe - I was too shy for it, too. That kind of action requires a few drinks in me first. :)

I've limited my profiles to the Bigmuscle.com series, Friendster and Match.com - I simply became overwhelmed after that point: No. More. Sites or Services!
I think your friend makes it look easy...it's usually a huge chore for me, or the only guys that like me are from Saskatchewan or Winnipeg for some reason. Guys in DC never show their faces, and won't indicate that they like you but will still peek at your profile seven times a day. ?!?

It is what it is - you take the good you take the bad... Scandalous some of the photos I've seen on there - and from people I know or see... like at church, neighbors, friends, people you see out etc. LOL it's like being a gay Gladys Kravitz without having to leave your house! :-)
I'm not on it anymore tho I ain't knockin' it b/c I've met some quality guys on there but is another story and not one I'm sharing :-P ... When I was a single lad it was a great way to see what was out there while avoiding smokey bars and some of the games. But the 'hunt has its own set of rules and complications. It's pretty addictive too - everyone calls it the time void - it can really suck you in for hours without you noticing it.
Some of the categories/fetishes one can list are funny... such as "feet/socks" - I have never understood what feet or socks do for people but to each his own...

It's always the shy ones who are online the most. No matter the service or intention, the shy people are wedded to online bliss. Give me a bar any day.
I have friends who tell me they're on it but not who they are; like I'm really going to be shocked?

Chat rooms never worked for me either. It seems that all of the guys that I met in chat room must have had fantastic imaginations. They would describe themselves to me and I'd think, wow, he sounds hot... Then, I'd meet them in person and... yikes! I have met much more interesting and compatible people blogging than any other way.

You never know who you will find... for every freak there could be someone to fall in love with... who knows?! :-)

This is a really funny post!
I have to say that there's something about using someone else's computer for an "unauthorized" transaction when you're out of town that just makes the whole thing that much more fun.
