    Re: Just put it on facebook

    I have no "Interested" on mine.
    And all I'm "Looking for" is friendship.

    No one buggers me about it.

    EDIT: Oh! And congrats on the public outing, dude. Sounds pretty sweet.

    Did put women for a while, then got rid of it completely. Considering updating it though...

    Re: Just put it on facebook

    I have mine as both for sure. I do think it's kind of a question mark when people leave it out entirely...

    Congrats on putting yours up!

    I don't have it listed only cause the gay ads are really annoying. But congrats to you =]

    I have mine listed as "Interested in: Men & Women" but I elaborate in my SGO (sex-gender-orientation) application/box. :grin:

    Re: Just put it on facebook

    Mine used to say "interested in women", back when I was still trying to believe it; now it only says "Looking for friendship" like what a lot of other people have said they've put.

    Whatever it means to be interested. I mean really, just because I'm sexually attracted to men doesn't mean I find them interesting because of that. I don't go, "Whoa, look at that person! He got a penis, hasn't he! Interesting... and facial hair too? Now that's taking up just about all my interests!" Silly phrasing on Facebook's part.

    but leaving it blank is essentially saying you're gay.

    Wow. I had no idea so many people thought that blank equals gay.
    Maybe more people know about me than I thought.

    Re: Just put it on facebook

    As a Facebook detective (stalker), the best way I've found to tell if someone is gay is to see if they have left it blank. I know some people that are out at my school and I look at their Facebook page and that fact about them is often times left blank. Also you have to know the person somewhat. Some people leave other options blank (thinking that blank = gay) so that it appears as if they were lazy. I personally fall into the latter category.

    Re: Just put it on facebook

    my sister-in-law's sister is one of my facebook friends, as if one of my brother's old girlfriends, and a church friend. My sister-in-law and brother have known for months now, but my grandmother doesnt know, and we all go to the same church as my sister-in-law's sister and family. So, I havent put it up on my facebook, because that is not the way I want my grandmother to find out; from others.

    Blank.

    But I would agree that it seems like blank = gay.

    Re: Just put it on facebook

    Blank = gay :slight_smile: Its true! Hehe, well not really, but its a strong hint.

    I have mine as interested in men. The adds got annoying at first, but heres a tip: Report them as "offensive" and they stop showing up. I dont get any gay themed adds anymore :slight_smile: They were annoying because they were all shirtless guys with roses in there hands...so un-realistic.

    Re: Just put it on facebook

    I don't have anything on mine. But i'm out, so everyone knows. The only reason i haven't changed mine is because of my family. The only family i have on there is my dad's side. and while they know about my "lifestyle", changing my interested in status would just be a reminder to them. so yeah i may change it eventually. but it just doesn't seem necessary right now. =]

    The same goes for me. No one really inquires about it.

    Anyways, congratulations on your "complete" Facebook come-out. :icon_bigg

    Looking For is left blank.

    Re: Just put it on facebook

    That is the truth. I have mine listed as interested in Men. I did not get a facebook account until after I came out, so it never occurred to me to select otherwise.
