A Warning for Guys4Men Members

September 14th, 2007

Guys4Men is perhaps the most subscribed to and most frequented online social networking site for gay men here in the Philippines.  Some of its members agree that there’s more to Guys4Men than just hooking up and getting laid.  For them, guys4men is a site where they meet other gay men who share the same interests as they do, chat with other members, gawk and drool over pictures of half-naked men, sell miniature bahay-kubos, malign and make fun of the fruglies (freaking ugly, that is), or perhaps meet the elusive Mr. Right. (Wait a second, is Mr. Right the same guys as Prince Charming? He seems to be very elusive and every girl and gay guy is going leaps and bounds to meet him.)

To others though, this site is just a mere hookup venue . And we can’t blame them because some members actually prove this theory right. Some members even go to the extent of the unthinkable and go beyond just hooking up.

Upon logging in to our guys4men account today, this warning welcomed us: » Read more: A Warning for Guys4Men Members

2257 Regulations: The End of Guys4Men?

September 5th, 2007

The US federal government is proposing regulations which may eventually lead to the closing down of several adult social networking sites. They are doing this in their “efforts” to fight child pornography.  Enacted in 1998, Section 2257 or The Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act of 1988 is a federal law designed to fight child pornography.  We are one with the whole world in the fight against child pornography and this seems like a good law to protect our youngsters. This is a good cause right? Right.

The 2257 Regulations were originally designed to require producers of sexually explicit material to acquire proof of age of all their “actors” and likewise keep these on record.  (If you have adult videos like Corbin Fisher and Sean Cody, you would see these notices at the beginning of the clips.) [sample below]

However, in 2006, it was amended and was expanded to regulate the Internet and the term “secondary producers” was introduced.  Secondary producers are those who publish, reproduce or reissue explicit material, ergo adult social networking site owners and administrators:

A “secondary producer” is defined as any person who produces, assembles, manufactures, publishes, duplicates, reproduces, or reissues a book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, or other matter intended for commercial distribution that contains a visual depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct.

So how does it affect users and members of adult social networking sites (straight and gay, mind you)? The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force breaks them down into the following: » Read more: 2257 Regulations: The End of Guys4Men?

Another Next Top Model

June 19th, 2007

After our controversial review on the unreal Philippines’ Next Top Model comes another one. This time though, we will be a lot nicer and won’t post anything negative about this ANTM online version. In fact, we’ll go low and promote it on this site.  No, we’re not talking about doing a review on the just-concluded America’s Next Top Model Cycle 8 (which, I think, will make its way to Philippine Television — free or cable — sometime in the year 2027.).  We are talking about another Next Top Model “franchise.”  Friends, Romans, countrymen, we bring you… » Read more: Another Next Top Model

Random Whining: The Guys4men Version

June 11th, 2007
  1. Just because you see my profile logged on to Guys4men all the time, it doesn’t mean that I’m on a continuous search for hook-ups. People, there is what we call broadband Internet.
  2. Just because I have high verification levels, it doesn’t mean that I have had sex with just about anyone and everyone who sends me a message asking for a hook-up.
  3. Just because you’re horny and located around the same vicinity as I am, it doesn’t mean that I’m ready and willing to do it with you. Newsflash: I have what is known to many people as TASTE.
  4. Why would I want to be friends with a blank photo?
  5. If you can post your pictures on Friendster or Picturetrail, why is it so damn fucking hard for you to post them on this site?
  6. What makes you think that because you’re gay and I’m gay, I will want to be friends with you? Friendship is something that just springs out – you do not ask someone to become your friend. It should come naturally like the wind beneath my wings (err?). » Read more: Random Whining: The Guys4men Version

Of Bahay Kubos and Global Warming

May 6th, 2007

These kinds of messages are my pet peeves on guys4men:

bahay.png

This is the classic miniature bahay-kubo marketing tactic. In the past couple of months, I received more than 20 messages from different people selling bahay-kubos! What the fuck? I don’t need a miniature bahay kubo!  I just wanna slap those bahay kubos onto their faces until they bleed and become unrecognizable.

And these bahay kubos are not the only ones being sold on guys4men.  You also have plugging of and invites to several events and bars.  But today I got one message – a first of its kind in my book:
guys4men.jpg

Beat that! Stop Global Warming! Sell your old car batteries! At least this one has some social relevance to it! Hahahha.

So what are you waiting for? Buy those bahay kubos and sell those car batteries now!

Psycho Hot Men

May 2nd, 2007

As I was looking for an old entry on my personal blog, I came across this other entry which made laugh so hard. I think some of us can learn from this conversation. To sum it all up, I always attract and get attracted to men who have issues – psycho hot men!

Enjoy!

So this hot guy suddenly sends me a message on my YM. Then shows off his hot bod on cam. then started a conversation. And asked some weird questions.

My question now is: Why do I get men who seem so great (not to mention superhot!) yet always come with a lot of issues (read: psychos)? For his security (estrus lang!), we will call him G4MGuy

here are a few of his psycho-symptoms types of statements:

* if ur my bf u’ll do anything ryt?
* gang rape?
* yeah u’ll get raped by my friends one by one
* but u’ll do anythin 4 luv ryt?
* thats not being naive, thats just submission…
* if i lost a bet with a friend and i had no way to pay him back and he asked me for ur body for a night would you do it for love of me?

So without further ado, here’s the convo:

G4MGuy: hey
AJ: hey
G4MGuy: wer u?
AJ: makati u?
AJ: who’s this?
G4MGuy: same
AJ: oh ********* from guys4men?>
G4MGuy: yep
AJ: hey how are your doing?
AJ: do you remember me?
AJ: how are *you doing
G4MGuy: am gud
G4MGuy: u want my body?
AJ: yeah
AJ: damn right hot
G4MGuy: ok
G4MGuy: i’ve always liked u
AJ: really?
AJ: thanks
G4MGuy: ur cute, wat u into?
AJ: we havent met yet
G4MGuy: saw ur pic.
AJ: what am i into… thats a difficult question to answer
G4MGuy: ur a bottom ryt?
AJ: but yeah… ive always found you to be so hot
AJ: im versatop
AJ: bottom by request
G4MGuy: gang rape?
AJ: gang rape?
AJ: hahah
G4MGuy: yup
AJ: hell no
G4MGuy: y?
AJ: i only bottom for men i like
AJ: and boyfriends
G4MGuy: thats y its rape
AJ: im not a big fan of simultaneous sexual activity with numerous people
AJ: id like to keep sex one-on-one
G4MGuy: if ur my bf u’ll do anything ryt? » Read more: Psycho Hot Men

Online Faker 2: The Bleached Streaks

March 5th, 2007

I’ve had my share of frugly ducklings stealing my photos from my guys4men account and using these as their own. It is a bit flattering but mostly annoying. Oh the repercussions of too much camwhoring and self-promotion over the Internet! And I’ve dealt with these people by sending emails to the administrators and having the fruglies’ accounts disabled. The frugly accounts have been disabled alright, but I’m sure that didn’t stop them from stealing more photos. Well for my part, at least I did something. I’m already used to having my photos stolen so I won’t be surprised if I see another profile with my photo on it.

Then I stumbled upon one profile. No he did not use any of my photos. I was fuming with anger as I started reading. The first line seemed familiar. How could it not be familiar when I was the one who wrote that line? I read through the rest of his profile and saw that he copied MY profile text – VERBATIM! The nerve of this guy. I just want to go to Davao now, hunt him down, point a gun to his head, bring him to the beach and command him to get a handful of sand and shove it up his own sorry ass!

Online Faker 1: Polo Ravales

March 5th, 2007

I’m signed up to a lot of different social networking sites for gay men and I’m already used to a lot of fakers. I don’t know why some gay men use photos and/or names of other people on their social networking profiles. Some use face and body pics of other users, others use photos of celebrities.

Complete anonymity and protection of their “discreet” status may be some of the reasons. But there are some who just irk me so much I wanna put them in a sack and throw it onto Manila Bay. I understand that some people are just not too comfortable (like I) posting their mug shots online. And I understand this whole “discreet” thing. Been there, done that.

One of these networking sites that I’m a member of is guys4men. In the more than one year of membership with them, I’ve already seen numbers of profiles that make me laugh and irk me at the same time. I’ve had my share of people using my photos in their profiles. And I also found this one guy who copied my Personal Profile Essay – VERBATIM! Imagine that! Here are some of my current “favorites:”

Oh who are you kidding? Polo?

Okay let’s give him the benefit of the doubt as his real name might actually be POLO RAVALES. NOT
