I retract my previous statements in this box. It was based on a comical impulse.
Think, what would Christ do?
He’s looking to hook up with chicks and is using the ‘gay troll’ text as cover.

Never appropriate.
Trolling gays as a joke is also never appropriate, or anyone on a dating site for that matter. It’s no less cruel online than it is in high school when someone finds out that they were asked out as a joke or bet. Regardless of venue, it’s absolutely loathsome behavior. [/quote]
Yes, agreed. Although not my initial thought, it’s the one that sticks with me. Not having made a habit of watching shows like Catfish, I have seen it a few times and there is almost always someone that has been deceived and had the rug pulled out from under them. I always feel so badly for them. They came to the table expecting maybe a possible relationship and it was just a joke to someone else.
Thank you again for all of the responses. I certainly see the validity in each and every one of them. I can also see that I’ve been hijacked. Guess I’ve had that coming for years. lol
I would listen to the collective wisdom of the group, we can’t all be wrong.

I Come To You With A Hypothetical
Good day, T-Nationers. I was wondering if you all would be kind enough to give me your perspectives on a hypothetical situation that I was discussing with someone recently. We both had differing opinions so I would like to hear from people who are not biased what their instincts tell them about what happened.
The hypothetical text will go as follows:
Person 1: Is there a gay option for tinder?
Person 2: I’m assuming this is ____ haha, and yes, my roommate uses it. Why?
Person 1: It was ____ either way but yeah, it’s me. I want to make a profile to troll.
Person 2: You will probably see a lot of dicks I assume.
Person 1: You can post dick pics? Awesome.
[/quote]
How hypothetical is this text? And what’s up with the game of Hangman?
Mad Libs.

One exception I could think of:
You and your chick are bored one night and both make e-harmony profiles in order to see if you show up in each other’s suggested matches.
(You won’t and she will cry, but such is life.)
But the rules would have to be something like:
- both create the account together
- both know user name and password
- both close account after set amount of time, with the other person present
You know, thinking about it. Fuck that. Not worth the trouble it could cause.
Yeah, never appropriate. [/quote]
My wife joined some dating site a few years ago because her best friend (single) was using to find men and my wife was nosey and wanted to look at their profiles so she could gossip, or give her opinion on whether she thought he might be a serial killer, or whatever it is women do. My wife told me straight up what she was doing and gave me the login details and would often show me the profiles of whoever it was her friend was dating etc.
I thought it was a bit sus to start with so I logged in from time to time but she never sent messages or replied to the ones she got, all seemed pretty innocent and acceptable to me in the end.

All right, I can see where this scenario might have its place. Women especially like to check in on their friends potentials to make sure their judgement isn’t being clouded by some disingenuous creep.

The text itself was real. It would be hypothetical in the sense that I’m asking everyone collectively what they would think if they were in this situation. It wasn’t involving me directly but someone that I know.
Hangman? Why not? lol

That’s fine, but I’m operating under the pretense that they are married. Which means that if he’s the trolling type, his wife has already accepted what would widely be seen as a character flaw and decided to stick with him anyway, which negates everyone’s hindsight talk. Unless it’s out of character for him, like I mentioned.

THIS. Why would you put in that much time to screw with someone who didn’t do anything to you? Especially if you are in a relationship. I can sort of understand being single and bored.
There are so many things I don’t have enough time for now I can’t imagine wasting it on that.[/quote]
Don’t try to understand trolls. You’ll get a headache.

People who troll random people on the internet are pathetic.
You bust balls and “troll” people you converse with on the regular, it is just ball busting, but to make a profile to “troll” gay dudes is pathetic.

I agree with this. But our judgements are irrelevant. A troll is not only probably used to being judged, but sees it as a spiteful excuse to continue trolling.

The only question I’d have is the motivation. He said he wants to troll, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see people who have fun trolling in general and would start a gay profile for that purpose.
But if it’s out of character to do something like that, then big questions start to arise.

I’m not even entirely sure. I think it would have been as a joke but who knows? It’s certainly not out of the normal realm for this person to joke around and be silly but…well, I’m not sure. lol Sometimes you just never know what people are doing.[/quote]
If it’s genuinely just meant to be a joke, and this is par for the course for this guy to troll and fuck with people, like I already said, his wife should have already accepted that this is the kind of person he is. At this point, I see her just rolling her eyes or shaking her had at his proposal. “Another one of his dumb schemes to get cheap laughs. Why did I marry this guy?”
If it’s out of character for him to troll people, then it gets a lot more suspect to me.
Basically, if he’s a doosh, then he already does dooshy stuff all the time, so why would this be much different? If he isn’t a doosh, then ya, something’s going on under the surface.
