Awesome quotes from online personals

So I haven't written a new post for this blog for a while, and I actually wonder if anyone is still reading - although interestingly the analytics data suggests that there are in fact some of you who still follow this - and to those readers, old and new, I thank you.

I'd like to to start a series of blog posts today of what I am calling "Awesome quotes from Manhunt," which are lines that I thought are either interesting, witty and anything that got me re-reading again lifted up directly from Manhunt, the very popular gay cruising site. I plan to add CL and SD selections in the future should this becomes fun.

To protect the identity of the users (this is a closed-gate community afterall), their username will not be quoted here - although if you spotted your witty phrase here and you would like to be credited (or additionally linked back), I'd be happy to do that. I just won't want to offend anyone :)

Also, if you have spotted any phrase that you are fond of, feel free to send them my way... alternatively, feel free to submit your own :) so here we go:

+ I am not a size queen, but I really like to be challenged...
+ bottom, top, vers, alive -- just DO SOMETHING

... started reading some more but got sidetracked... so... (to be continued)

Google Trends: Gay vs Straight

www.google.com/trends?q=gay%2C+straight

Google Trends: gay, straight / 2008-01-21 / SML Screenshots (by See-ming Lee 李思明 SML)

Someone at work (who shall not be named so as not to be tainted with these subject matter) told me about Google Trends today as a far more addictive toy to play with than Google Sets. I tried it out and he's darn right.

Here as per my own curiosity, I noted how while there are approximately twice as much "straight" news stories than "gay" news stories, there are more than 10 times as many "gay" searches than "straight" searches.

If Kinsey is right about that 10% of the (American) population is gay, then we see that the other 90% is at least very curious.

Bar-hopping in NYC

Avery took me out for dinner at Mercer Kitchen on Friday (2008-01-18). Food was yummy. It was definitely a welcoming treat at the end of the SML Appendectomy event:

All-Ivy / Seven Sisters Mixer / 2008-01-17

Went to my second All-Ivy / Seven Sisters Mixer this past Thursday at People and had a ton of fun. Avery told me all about it but he couldn't come at the last minute. But I'm glad that I went anyway.

As always, I'm taking photographs of hot men found at the party for my Ideal Husbands project. Here they are:

William Sofield / Princeton Alum

Went to Urge and 105 Rivington afterwards with Sean Chappin (Yale '98) but somehow the next day I got up I discovered I've got some very interesting photographs of the Cock. I wonder how I got there:

And that's a wrap!

Levi's gay commercial

I was watching Project Runway today and I was surprised to find a well-made gay-themed commercial during the commercial break and of course I found it on YouTube!



It is very encouraging to me as more main-stream brands embrace the gay community for advertising. It's smart for them anyhow: the majority of the gay and lesbian household profile is double-income, no kids, and are people who have the drive to achieve much more (perhaps to prove a point to their family and peers) and thus will have a significantly stronger spending power than other market segments.
