O.k., here's the deal, plain and simple.

I'm not the hottest guy in the world, I understand that.  But I do have expectations.  And the first, is some level of confidence.  That means if your pictures don't show your face, your winks and friend requests will be deleted and your profiles will be ignored.  I cannot explain this in any greater detail: no face, no communication.  It's that damn simple.

I don't mean to come across like a jerk, but that kind of nonsense it very irritating.  I have issues, too -- we all do -- but hiding your face on a gay singles site because you're afraid someone might find out you're gay?  Come, now.

Anyway, as for me, I like movies, music, hanging out with my friends -- oh, wait, I just described every human on Earth without a major psychological disorder.  I guess saying something like that would be vague and shallow and...well, just not very "about me" at all, huh?  I mean, putting something like that would be meaningless and stupid.  It's basically an empty gesture to keep me from having to actually express my individuality while still slapping some text in the box, and that...well, that would be cheap.

Maybe, instead of throwing some generic hogwash into this little box, I'll express myself via rant.  That way, people might get a glimpse of my actual personality, instead of the cardboard cut-out they usually get shoved in their faces.  And maybe some of them will appreciate both the gesture...and the message.
