Sober Moment 2.1.10: Fun with Grindr

In an effort to expand readership for the blog, I have whored myself out to veryfamiliar websites (that have helped countless gay men expand other things in their lives): Adam4Adam, Manhunt, and BigMuscle. And also the iPhone app, Grindr.

Grindr profiles are hilarious, but sometimes it's the conversation that really draws me in.

Does this mean I have to host?

I go out in NYC, and I'm damn near invisible to men here. But the Euro guys online are all about Blacking Out! So when I saw this visitor pop up on my grid, it wasn't a surprise when I got a message from him.

Does this count as bros before hoes?

I try to see the bright side of every situation.

Literally.

I told you Dexter was gay!

As many of you know, I'm originally from Columbia, SC, a city of unparalleled class and charm. We don't have any professional sports teams, so the University of South Carolina* is everyone's sports obsession. The mascot is a cock. Tens of thousands of people have "Go Cocks" bumper stickers. Seriously.

Actually, it's probably a lot more tolerable than you'd think. Especially with such classy and charming residents as described below.

Cocky is the mascot. The couple didn't tell The University that they were into furry fetish.

*Sidenote about "The Metro" (as Columbia is often called): it's the only place in the world where you can mention "Carolina" and "USC" as universities and not be referring to UNC-Chapel Hill or University of Southern California.
