How about just cuddling and talking about our favorite distros.

Arch btw

i use arch btw

(Fact: i used to think arch users have ascended to the linux heaven:tm:. But after installing (WITHOUT archinstall) and using arch and saying it... what now? NixOS aint cutting it and immutable distros are...well...too immutable.)

What do these words mean?

  • twink
  • twunk
  • otter
  • side
  • J/O
  • frot
[-] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 120 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Twink. A kind of biscuit.

Twunk. It was a biscuit but now it's gone.

Otter. Thing that stole the biscuit.

Side. The biscuit was a side dish.

J/O. Just Otters.

Frot. Forgot.

  • Twink - a thin, mostly bodyhairless gay man
  • Twunk - a muscly, mostly bodyhairless gay man
  • Bear - a hairy, thicker gay man
  • Otter - a thinner but still hairy gay man
  • J/O - jerk off
  • Frot - touching two penises together, usually while j/o with each other
  • Top - the person who is topping is the person penetrating
  • Bottom - same but is instead the person being penetrated
  • Verse - likes being both top and bottom
  • Side - I'm less familiar with this one but given the quotes and context I'm assuming this is not a top or a bottom or a verse, but instead is someone less interested in penetration and more interested in body contact and j/o together. *

So he wants a man who's either thin, muscular, or neither, and who's also hairy, hairless, or neither. Sooooo, that's every man

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He doesn't mention bears. He says he's looking for a twink or twunk and is an otter himself. So sounds like he wants a hairless guy who's either thin or muscly.

[-] Anivia@feddit.org 11 points 1 year ago

I agree with your observations about the hairy or hairless part, but thin or muscular are not the only 2 body types men can have. You can be fat and not muscular, I heard it's a pretty common body type in America

Side just means no penetration. Usually it means ok with oral, manual and frotting. You can indicate both (vers, side ok) to indicate you don't mind someone who isn't into penetration.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

I think the first 2 or 4 have heavy gay culture connotations, but can be adapted to mean any man.

Year born, maybe 🤔

[-] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 1 year ago

Jokes on him! >50% of guys on there do not bother to read the profile. Instead, their first message is of their junk…followed by three more pics of aforementioned junk and an aggressive opening message. It’s a great time!

[-] Eiri@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

I thought most of Grindr was more or less that expectation. Hey, you're hot, and if you think I'm hot too, let's meet up tonight. Here's a sample.

Something like that.

I'm guessing I'm at least partly wrong?

[-] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

You’re totally right.

What I mean is that there are many, many, guys on there that do not even attempt to have a normal conversation. There is no “hey” or “how’s it going?” Just 1-4 unsolicited pics of their junk followed by some creepy message like “show daddy your…”

This tracks for how a lot of people use the app, but depending on where you are you can also have some fairly normal (for a dating site) conversations with people as well. I spent a couple months on Grindr despite not being interested in hookups, since it's a decent way to meet other trans folk in my area. My inbox was mostly dick pics but I also met some amazing people I'm still with several years later!

[-] dermanus@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

It depends. You get all sorts. There very much is a "right now" segment of the population.

[-] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Don't forget the very well light, 4k quality picture of their anus that they do not properly clean

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 27 points 1 year ago

Does not have sex; only touches tips and jacks off.

They didnt even have to say they used Linux for everyone to know they used Linux. 😌

[-] janNatan@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Frottage is more than "touching tips." It includes rubbing the member anywhere on skin.

[-] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 year ago

Are there women on grinder or are there only men?

[-] basiclemmon98@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think there are a few lesbian alternatives, but you just never hear about them because the public views lesbian hookups as less blasphemous than gay male hookups. Because creepy straight men see lesbian hookups as sexy.

[-] Sxan@piefed.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Wait... finding lesbian hookups sexy makes a CIS man creepy?

Can you explain þe logic there? Does it also apply to all þe CIS women who find Yaoi hot?

I think I read somewhere that they tried to include lesbians but it wasn't popular or something.

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

I know some trans women who use it, never met a cis woman who uses it but I think technically the app is advertised towards lgbt people in general.

[-] Eiri@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Strictly an app for gay men so I think a woman would be quite out of place

Wait, is his geographic range three different countries? He would travel internationally for no sex romantic cuddles?

[-] skarn@discuss.tchncs.de 30 points 1 year ago

I think that's language options, not geographic range.

He says he lives in Graz, in Austria (where people speak German and there are no kangaroos BTW).

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Graz, in Austria where people speak German and there are no kangaroos

Mostly checks out, but going to need confirmation on that last one.

Not all grindr users are linux users. But are all linux users grindr users?

Muscular twink

[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 3 points 1 year ago

Twink x hunk

[-] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Let's hope someone will encounter a girl on Tinder that uses Linux. The more in common, the better.

[-] Nikls94@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Oh! I know that from a guy from my old work who’s gay! You know how big, hairy men are called "bear"? Well, an otter is a tall and slim average guy with a beard!
