Some random thought while doing Number 2.
Back in the heydays of my sex life dating life, I slept with met a lot of guys. And some most of them I met online – mIRC, guys4men, downelink, connexion, gay.com, manjam, gayromeo, gaydar, even craigslist. More often than not, I used mIRC as it was the quick and easy way to hook-up meet men (I think it still is to this date).
ASL. Stats. Name?
Name? Whenever I was asked what my name was, I would give an instant Marc. “That’s Marc with a C, by the way,” I said. Since I wasn’t out and since the gay community in Davao (then) was too small, I did not risk telling my men my real name. I’m not famous, but as they say, the gay world is really small. I wasn’t out then so I knew that if anyone from my university found out that I was gay, I would be in deep sh*t.
After I came out and after I moved to Metro Manila, I still used Marc. I named my gay self Marc Terrence Garcia. When I first chatted with him, I introduced myself to my first boyfriend as Marc. He, Mike. We both knew that those were not our real names but we just played along with it.
Eventually, the name Marc was getting too old for me. Besides, Kevin Garcia III sounded more “saleable” then. I thought Kevin Garcia III was gonna be my last online identity. Until Andreii came. Andreii Garcia, that is. Countless men later, I decided to just drop the Marc, the Terrence, the Kevin, but kept the Andreii. But whenever I talked to someone online, I’d tell them that my guys4men profile said my name was Andreii (with two unnecessary letter “i”s at the end) but they can call me AJ.
I wont pretend to be prude and say that I’ve only met quite a few men online, because most of the men I’ve met in my life, I met online. What were their names?
Carlo, Mike, Miguel, Jeff, Mark, Marc, Josh, Joseph, John, Paul, Paolo.
These are the most common names given to me. Were these their real names? Some, yes. Most, not.
What about you, what’s your name?
