Forget Craigslist’ latest reputation as the stalking ground for serial killers. The gays still know the site as a near-surefire way to find a hook up. But depending on your role preference — yes, we’re talking tops v. bottoms — does Craigslist’s audience in your city put things in your favor?
Analyzing the data, The Sword identifies Houston as the best hunting ground for tops on the prowl, while New York City is home to more the least pillow biting. Maybe Zillow.com could start providing this data next to real estate listings?

I can say from experience that Miami has a fuck-ton of bottoms.
Houston…IDK, that’s kinda weird. I only ever lived in San Antonio, and I didn’t get a very “bottom” vibe from the guys there.
Mad Professah
oh, yeah THIS is scientific research. NOT!
OMG
Could anyone explain to me how to recognize a top vs. bottom? Do tops show more package? What?
stuey
@Mad Professah: oh, yeah, YOU have a sense of humor and are not at all a fucktard loser. NOT!
Karloff
@stuey: Oh yeah, and this article is humorous, NOT!
Qjersey
yeah they are all tops until they find a dick bigger than their own, they get tweaked out or coked up or fall in love

EVERYONE knows DC is nothing but bottoms.

All this graph represents from top to bottom (pun intended) is “Most Honest” to “Least Honest”.

@OMG: Ever been on craigslist.org? The listings are predominantly things like “top looking for bottom – 47y/o” “bottom looking for top b/w 20-35”. My guess is they just counted.
Of course this might not be a good representation of the larger gay community in the area, but it’s at least the ones who are looking for sex online.
Interesting.

This type of survey would be great if it were done scientifically. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if a survey like this also showed that those cities with a higher percentage of bottoms to tops also had the largest number of bisexuals.

@Mad Professah: I guess you must be one of the many, not getting any bottoms in one of those cites, try topping for a change of pace!

Houston, we have a problem …

“Maybe Zillow.com could start providing this data next to real estate listings?”
That would surely spark the next housing boom! ;P

When I was younger and living in Houston, I had no problem meeting tops who wanted to fuck me. I moved to NYC, and now, EVERYONE is a top, and I’ve learned to embrace and enjoy my vers/top side. Maybe I’m the exception.

Atlanta has more tops than bottoms? There is an old joke we used to say that went like this “What do you call a top in Atlanta? A visitor.
boytroy
Theres a reason you find more tops in Houston, cause the tops ain’t queer. There the type of guys who say ” Your only Queer if you kiss ’em”. So you have loads of “straights”, yeah right, looking for man pussy cause its to hard to get woman pussy.

@Qjersey: Its true, I will admit it, I am almost always a top, but the other night I hooked up with a guy who’s cock was absolutely massive, I love to suck and I could barely get the head of it in my mouth. I cannot even guess how big it was. Well, he was a top & I suppose I felt like challenging myself. So there we went, he was patient, I never took so many deep breaths in my life and finally it was in. After about a minute it stopped hurting and he slowly started working my hole. Finally he cut loose and fucked my brains out. I found myself grinding my ass into him not able to get enough, he could have fucked me all night if he wanted! So yeah, I guess if the cock is big enough and the guys willing to work with me I am as much a bottom as anyone. But I don’t do coke or any other drugs and I did not have time to fall in love. Okay, where the fuck did I put his number?

Queerty, you misread this article and poll…it’s saying Houston has the most bottoms, and NYC the most tops.
myrios123
Thanks for the pepsi challenge queerty. I wonder if regionally saying you are one or the other simply gets you more action? As far as I’m concerned, when you’re holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
John
where are the most ‘versatile” people? I’m tired of having no representation, I’m flexible and proud!
Chris
@John:
I feel ya. People focus too much on picking one or the other. I genuinely like both and prefer guys who are the same way.
Tobias
I’ve lived in San Francisco for the last 8 years. I can say that this city is much like the kitchen cupboard where I keep my tupperware. The bottoms are lurking inside but the tops are always missing! Now please excuse me as I book my tickets to New York.
hyhybt
@CHIP: So how does that make the title wrong?
M Shane
Everyone usually can do both: it seems to be a meeting of the minds thing.
CHIP
@hyhybt:
They edited the article, hence the type with the line struck through it. At first the author was saying NYC is full of bottoms according to the article on the Sword. The title was changed too I believe. I like to bust Dave’s balls when I can.

I don’t know why any guy would want to be a bottom. Talk about emasculating. Spreading his legs and pretending he’s a woman. UGH! If you want sex between someone’s legs, try a woman. Anal sex is so 70’s, so full of STD’s and HIV, not to mention getting leaky bowels. Our community has suffered long enough and lost millions of guys to anal sex. Gay guys need to start being guys again and stop this anal poo poo. There are plenty of other wonderful things to do with your partner. Guys like “Boytroy” give many of us bad names. He sounds like a stereotypical fudgepacker–hooks up with some guy, has anal, it hurts so bad, but then it’s okay, and now he’s a bottom for large tops if they’re willing to work with him. He makes it sound like a career.

@Matt you must have a lot of friends. You’re one of those gay guys who hates gay men for not having the kind of sex THEY prefer.
Sound familiar?
You’re one of those gay men who give the rest of us bad names. You’re a prissy, obnoxious and name calling stereotypical queer.

@Matt: Wow guy are you possessed by the ghost of Jerry Falwell? Because the ignorant comments regarding the gay community are just dripping from you. Also if you are worried about appearing to be a woman maybe you should spit the dick out of your mouth before you bash those gays that have a healthy sexual perspective. Also maybe you should go out and get yourself a nice burly top to screw the rage right out of you. đ

I can’t stop laughing! Only on Queerty would you find this most important information. I love it.
