It’s funny how the little things, and people you’ve never met can affect you.

A friend recently asked me if she could give my email address / mobile no, to a gay guy she knew. She sold it to me that he was looking for new friends. So I thought what the hell, and wrote them down for her to give to him.

He got in touch by text message two nights ago.

After a couple of texts he asked me to send a pic… so I did… and I haven’t heard anything from him since.

n661280651_6007.jpgNow I know I’m not a good looking guy, but I thought the photo I sent at least wouldn’t scare him off. Maybe it was the manic grin (I was drunk when it was taken), maybe it was the tuft of grey hair.

What a bitch… and I don’t even know what he looked like.

I was thinking it would be nice to meet some new gay friends, particularly one recommended by a friend. He’s blown that chance now. And with that chance, destroyed a little bit of my belief in the fundamental good in everyone.

But you know what… I don’t even want to know someone who’d judge me solely on looks.

There is so much more to me, and to life.

    Oh well, it’s his loss! You’re right – it shows he was probably a vain asshole!

    what is that old saying? “never judge a book by it’s cover” the world is not full of A & C models. It is filled with real people with real looks and most importantly, real personality. Ignore the shallow people and enjoy life with people that are happy with themselves as well as with others.

    Alas the gays are renowned for their shallowness – though the gays are also renowned for being cu*ty bitches. This is not to say you’re not a looker – obviously this couldn’t be further from the truth. Just make sure you hold on to the other ones – they do exist – and don’t let them go.

    @Tom – it IS his loss.

    @Adam – I hate my hair.

    @Anthony – A & C models… took me a while to figure that you might have meant A & F models ;) . I know where you’re coming from though…would you actually want an A&F model… hell yes (who am I trying to kid)

    @Ant – You make me blush.

    damn this new laptop!! Yes, I meant A&F, but seriously, those type of boys only lead to trouble. Those type of boys are for the night. real men are for a lifetime. always remember that.

    He’s a bastard. And probably as ugly as his personality. Whereas you are a lovely guy with a nice smile :)

    ps: call me next time you’re in the centre of town. I feel a green tea reprise coming on…
