What is 'sex positivity'???!

I've noticed that on Bumble profiles recently. Sounds like something I want to completely avoid (any mention of sex, in fact)!

51FlirtyFun · 29/10/2023 22:59

@LightSpeeds - basically looking for a shag.

I actually had someone message me a couple of weeks ago and when I checked his blurb he’d actually lifted MINE from my profile word for word. He’d obviously forgotten I was his ‘ghostwriter’… When I tackled him about it he said he ‘couldn’t respond because his subscription had run out…’ What? even though you’ve just responded??!
I’ve just checked this evening and the fuckwit’s still using my words. He’s clearly having more success with them than I am…
Another answered the standard Match question ‘Thing you always carry with you’ with ‘My smile’. Really? Then why do you look so fucking miserable in every one of your out of focus, double chinned photos ?
I’d ask for a refund if it wasn’t so entertaining 😂

I asked someone that and he said it means he’s hot stuff in bed - I’m sure you are mate 🤣

This is so funny ! All bang on!

spookehtooth · 29/10/2023 23:22

Wasn't sex positivity initially a female mantra/attitude? I have a feeling it's been appropriated and had it's meaning changed by men who use it. I wouldn't

ChristmasCrumpet · 29/10/2023 23:32

The raccoon!! Good bye-o!

Yes, thanks Bumble for introducing “sex positivity” as an “interest (under the theme, incidentally of “self-care” (?)). Instant turn-off for me and alongside so many of the other lovely attributes listed above, another great filter! 😁

If covid doesnt take you out I will.
420 friendly
Not into drama

The first time I saw this I had to google 420 as I had no idea what it meant lol

JamJitters · 30/10/2023 00:38

Loved the cat photos OP! Only thing missing is a bathroom - or toilet - in the background:)

Starseeking · 30/10/2023 00:39

Another one I've come across many many times:

"My age is wrong on here, not sure how it happened, can't change it"

The man usually admits to being at least 5 years older, or 15 years younger than what his profile age states 🙄🙄🙄

JamJitters · 30/10/2023 00:43

Honest, I kinda like the raccoon:).

capabilityfrowns · 30/10/2023 00:44

The raccoons scared me . You should see his others

"The ones who have had a good beating with the ugly stick & are looking for casual sex."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

JamJitters · 30/10/2023 02:09

Sorry but it’s rather distasteful to copy someone’s personal shared artwork to mock for cheap laughs.

madeinmanc · 30/10/2023 02:19

Oh well, they (men) share naked pics they've been sent and film during sex and without consent, and share that 🤷‍♀️

capabilityfrowns · 30/10/2023 02:39

I did have reservations but it's public anyway . It's on a public profile . There are worse ones I didn't share and I blotted out any identifying information

capabilityfrowns · 29/10/2023 21:03

I've just had a message from a guy who does water colour painting and on his profile is a pic of two raccoons that look like they might have been extras on the evil dead , totally out of proportion, eyes appears to be working independently and heads far too small for their bodies

🤣🤣🤣

Acornsoup · 30/10/2023 05:59

Looking for a muse 🤮🤮🤮

WirKindervomBahnhofZoo · 30/10/2023 07:04

This thread is just brilliant! Would love to see some more 'artwork.'

-scowling
-Hi vis
-sunglasses in every pic
-hat in every pic (means they are bald)
-selfie taken in car
-up nostrils selfie highlighting multiple chins

Then they complain they don't get matches???

Women's profiles can say some stupid shit but they look far more attractive in the pics than men the same age. (Apart from stupid filters etc)

I would disagree with this actually and say that lots of women’s profiles are no better really, lots contain

  • trout pout
  • groups of drunk women
  • sunglasses
  • selfie in car
  • same selfie from 10 angles
  • filters.

And some ( but less) stupid shit

PoloMintRoll · 30/10/2023 07:36

'Sex positivity' sounds like sleeps around. 'Non vanilla' sounds grim as well, I suppose at least they are being honest that they are after sex....

C1N1C · 30/10/2023 07:40

I think both are as bad as each other...

Men post a million sports activities, pictures at bars with all their mates, fish, expecting that supermodel they had when they were 20 without a 50k debt, a beer belly, in a bachelor pad where you can't see the floor for junk. And women show themselves half drunk on hen nights, squeezed into a shorts 20x too small saying they deserve the best when they've got five kids by five different baby daddies...

Even the shy wallflower ladies and the geeky guys pushed into the friendzone by this age have been corrupted by time and aren't worth dating.

51FlirtyFun · 30/10/2023 07:54

And may I say that the over 50's are probably worse than the over 40's?

Thinking they are entitled to a woman 15 years younger 🤢
