“Whenever I get a Facebook request nowadays, nine times out of 10 it is a gay male who I have no met,” says James Berry, Facebook user. “I have not met him, and chances are I have not heard of him, and he’s just adding me simply because he’s gay and he lives one of the two towns that I live in. … And that’s really fucking annoying.” It is! Perhaps you’ve experienced the same thing? And you know the reason for the friend request: to cruise your profile and see if you’re worth screwing. “It’s because they want to check out if I’m attractive or not … and they want to hook up with me if they think I’m attractive enough. If you’re the kind of person who does this sort of thing, I’m not gonna fuck you. That’s just principle. I’m a very slutty person, but I do have my standards.”

Oh my god, James. I used to talk to him on Facebook and Skype, and met him on Tumblr. He is a bit of slut, as he says. And he was nice for a long time, but then he decided to drop me as a friend on both networks. Never knew why, he never told me.

@Red Meat: He “coincided” with what? :-/
Now if you mean “conceited,” that’s something you ought to back up with some kind of evidence if you’re going to say it. And a bitter feeling because maybe you add total strangers on facebook just to check them out and are feeling called-out as a creeper by his vlog doesn’t count as evidence.
“He’s so conceited” is far too often code for “I don’t like what he’s saying because it struck a nerve, but since I can’t disprove his claims I’ll settle for an ad hominem attack on him to try and turn the audience against him.”

@Red Meat: He ‘coincided’ with what now? :-/ Personally I think (one of) the *worst* kind of gay is the kind who do a thing- say, creep total strangers’ facebook pages, for instance- and then when they happen upon someone saying “what is with the creepy fuckin’ creepers who add you to facebook *just* to scour your pictures?” they get all personally offended at feeling called-out, so rather than admit the questionable appropriateness of what they’re doing they just make up some ad hominem attack on the other person (calling them conceited, just for example) to turn the audience against the messenger for the argument that they can’t challenge in good faith.

Unfortunately for the people on Facebook they have yet to see this video and do not realize what a complete douche bag this guys is.
I don’t know what’s worse, him thinking just because someone requests him on Facebook that they must want to f*ck him or that this so-called problem is only limited to the queery community.

It’s not like he’s raising a valid point and from some of the comments (i.e. Shannon and Danny), he’s being proved right on this site alone. Gay guys should stop being so judgmental – this guy isn’t; he’s just clearly annoyed at being added on Facebook by any stranger, it just so happens that more often than not, it’s a gay guy looking to get a higher fuck number, Nothing he’s saying is wrong.

@justiceontherocks: Okay, Mr. Perfect, would your entire worth as a human being judged by the three minutes you lost your temper or got frustrated and vented? You would? Well okay then.

@mike128: so funny and so true
@Nick: yes and who adds someone they dont know on facebook?
@Shannon: or someone who has high standards and think they are all that and everything else
But he is allowed to make this video and not be judged by it

This is so true! My favorite quote “I’m a very slutty person, but I do have my standards”– ie meaning they need to go on Manhunt or Adam4adam. Standards!
