I just thought it was a synonym for "rentboy".

my favorite was the explanation of "get it in". imagining vf readers reaching this cryptic phrase in the midpoint of a very long article about casual sex and being baffled.

Read it more often (agreeing with the article) as fuckboi, but you know how it is with kids these days.

lol did anyone find the "researcher perspectives" quoted to be totally absurd? eg human sexuality professors quoted saying "this is a whole new phase in the evolution of human sexuality"

Twenty years ago I was in college and there were dudes whose life was organized around maximizing number of vaginas entered and there were dudes who were mostly looking for girlfriends and not particularly hustling for sex outside this context. (And I mean obviously some continuum between these.) The article paints a picture of a dating environment really well-adapted for the first class of dudes but the second class doesn't really appear in this article. Is the point that they don't exist anymore, as some of the women in the article claim? Or are they still around, and just kind of doing what they've always done, and not using Tinder, or using Tinder to find girlfriends instead of maximizing sex-count, or...?

Some guys, they say, in order to hide their multiple sex partners from each other, will assign them fake names in their phones, such as “Crazy Mike.”

Exactly. "No one seems to just want to make a human connection anymore" say rich 20-somethings mostly interested in their careers and partying.

Anyone tried Bumble? Met someone from another city thanks to it and the whole process has seemed both more serious and more generous. The idea that women have to commit first is a nice reversal of situations that leads to more trust from the get go. It's more my wheelhouse.

I'm so boring on tinder. In general too, but mostly on tinder. Have no idea how to get the conversation rolling/am lazy and sort of want my matches to do this for me
― Treeship, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 05:18 (eight years ago) link
In a current conversation a woman mentioned she liked this park. I mentioned it was close to my brother's place and so I will try to check it out one day. She said I should do that. Now I am stumped.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 05:22 (eight years ago) link
Fsce to face conversation is easier
i don't know a whole lot about tinder but isn't the spirit of thing that you tell her it looks like a nice park and ask if she wants to meet at the park for hooking up?
― the late great, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 05:40 (eight years ago) link
ha treesh your park conversation sounds so much like every conversation i've ever had on tinder and i used to be pretty good at being charming and flirty in internet venues (non-ilx).
