Camaraderie and manners
I have been on this site for 5.5 years. And in that time I have met a lot of kind people that share at least one thing in common, wrestling. I’ve also been fortunate to share my experiences, kinks, matches and my gear with people who appreciate those extra things that made us feel odd or different. I’m grateful to this site for having a meeting place with many ways to share and connect. I’m sure it’s made a lot of people realize they aren’t so alone in what rings your bell (no pun intended). It has created a camaraderie of like minded strangers who can connect as friends and be supportive whether you are gay or straight.
Unfortunately, there are going to be a few people who lack respect, maturity and manners to conduct themselves as part of this brotherhood. I’d like to address those few people at this time.
1. Before you message a member, read their bio and try to familiarize yourself with the person you are about to address. That way you can read your audience. If I say I like to dominate men, and you send me a message asking me if I’d like my ass kicked, you are in the wrong place. If I say I’m straight, don’t send me pictures of your dick. I can be heteroflexible on the mat with the right opponent, but please don’t send me a message telling me how you would like to violate me.
2. Message someone with the same manners you would have if you met someone in person. Cyber communication doesn’t excuse rudeness.
3. If you are the type of person who puts thumbs down on people’s pictures and blogs, you are wrong and you are a coward. If it wasn’t anonymous, you probably wouldn’t have the balls to judge other people’s expression. If you want to be a supportive brother on here, put thumbs up on what you like and walk away from what you like. That what little bitches do. Grown men lift each other up, especially on a site where we are supposed to feel safe with a side of our self that may be a secret to the rest of the world. This is a terrible feature for a safe place.
4. Remember why you are on this site. Are you here just to take? Or are you here to give something as well? Are you kind to everyone or are you the guy that jumps in line if there isn’t enough.
Kindness goes along way, especially when you may be representing a part of the world where not everyone has been. We get to be ambassadors in a small way. You don’t want to make your homeland look bad because you feel like being rude.
Again I wrote this to express my gratitude for the majority of the members. And at the same time, I wanted to offer those who forget why we are here, some thoughts to consider to act better. We’re all in the same big boat!
