pleasure factors in as a huge need for satisfaction when gay men are younger so the search for that seemed to have a heavy influence on things one did outside of work. my thoughts when i created my Fridae account way back when Fridae first started was a catchy handle that made cruising easier.
to be honest … i’ve hardly picked up from Fridae coz most people you meet there are a little scary. it seemed to be more a place you searched for someone you saw at a party … link would be through mutual frens or people you saw him hanging out with. then the norm was to send each other hearts … then emails .. then see what happens next
guess i’ve grown up a lot through the years and i’ve decided its time to abandon this “shallow” handle
i never do much with my Fridae account anymore anyway and when you’re past 35 …. trying to stay lean is an effort. so in anticipation of “lean”ness becoming elusive and becoming too old to be called “dude” … i’ve abandoned leandude and decide to use my LJ profile as my Fridae profile
just a notice to frens and people who know me as leandude or who’ve added me as frens on Fridae …. i’ll stop using this in about 60 days …once my perks expires
Oh, I’ve no doubt.
i know …. i was trying to come across as an air-head
but …. …. a fren has told me he’s been “chatted” up through LJ before … some guy thot his profile pict looked cute … dropped a few comments … and then asked to exchange MSN contacts where the pick up subsequently happened
i think where there’s a will … there’s a way
No, I don’t think you can – I was responding to something you’d said about Fridae.
you mean u can pick up from LJ!!??? how come no one told me till now!!!
ROFL
I have to admit that I don’t have much of a profile on LJ, because … well, because if you read my LJ then you know enough about me.
Which means nothing, because IRL I’m not that similar to my LJ – and in some ways, not that different.
I’m not having any luck picking up from here, though, I should warn you.
