How guys make the online dating scene hard for themselves
I can't tell you how many men have complained to me about all the fake ads out there and later in the same conversation said that they once posted an ad as a woman to see what it's like on the other side. Mmm, yes, I see the problem, here.
I know that the odds suck, and if you're curious to see what happens to women who post to CL, by all means, pretend to be one and reap the rewards, which include the fact that you're making life harder not only for yourself but for men collectively.
Another thing I've gotten a number of men complaining about is how gay guys put up ads as women to collect naughty photos. Again, I'm somewhat stymied at something insightful to point out here, since the obvious solution is ... (wait for it) ... not to send a picture of your penis on first emailing a stranger. Revolutionary, I know.
Please, feel free to leave tips in the hat as you leave.

It sounds like you have the makings of a fine "Shit That Should Be Obvious, But Obviously Isn't" list for a future recap post. *grin*
Seriously, any guy who thinks that a cock-shot is the right thing to attach to the first email he sends someone doesn't have a leg to stand on (as it were) to complain about who might end up seeing it. Oi vey. "Dude, obviously you're quite fond of it, and fond of people looking at it, so shut up and deal."
