Bio summaries on conventional chat platforms

[Riobard]

… such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Line

Somebody sent me this example, ID withheld, of a fellow that apparently has children … well the Daddy part is there inn’t? … and the sender claims this bio is presented within the realm of hiring as well.

Believable? Bold? Too much? Thoughts? This was too noteworthy to keep to myself. Maybe I’ve got my bio outside of Grindr all wrong, with low yield on my protected sex requirements on PrEP, and too constricted a target population?

What’s BB unequivocally in this context? Could there actually be tongue-specific prophylaxis without the existence of a tongue? I wonder what he looks like and its relation to writing style.

I can’t even.

Just why?

Does anyone really believe in the accuracy of bios on the apps and social media?

Sure they do. Use your head.

It’s not a question of accuracy or prerogative. I expect the phone number’s owner is not at all appealing in the way a “daddy” is typically conceptualized, and that he is barf-worthy. It’s actually for real, as it turns out.

It’s not Grindr. It's how peculiar this type of phrasing is when associated with the broadly broadcasted phone number of an old geezer for friends, family members including offspring possibly including grandchildren, and associates to have to metabolize. How desperate does one need to be to put aside appropriate renderings of pride in gay and sexual self, of representing the tribe, in the interests of employing something as basic as a phone number agenda byline for recruiting young innocent lads, often for example naïve about bacterial STIs that are challenging to treat?

What a sad sack.

I still fail to understand why bios are regarded as accurate when we know so many are not!

Man you can really dig in and bury the central details innit. Why don’t you start a specific topic on sex meetup apps, then (?), as your point is neither particularly relatable here nor would it be if it happened to be noticed by the author of the contact number profile text presented upthread. 

If I enter on my Telegram, Line, or WhatsApp account profile my name, country code area code and number, city I might be visiting at the moment, and a brief rendering of hobbies such as opera etc, where such info is viewable by contacts of all categories why would that data be more likely fabricated than be accurately representative or intended to reel in a specific class of candidates somehow in either a neutral innocuous or nefarious self-serving manner? 

Same goes for substituting or adding a fondness for music or one’s current Timbuktu location with the goal of raw fucking exploitable males several generations younger. That could only be an unwell elderly person with poor judgement and your voice would be the sole dissenting one in an academic seminar in which I’d be leading a group of medical students on the mental health components of clinical practice.

I have no desire whatever to start a topic on sex meet ups, thank you. As for my point, it relates exactly to the thread title.

Look up conventional, and perhaps it will assist you to reduce your unravelling.
