Bear Sites

Wow, it amazes me how guys on bear sites are antisocial.  Sites like Grindr, Scruff, and Growlr.  All they care about is looking at photos and not connecting with other guys.  How are guys supposed to meet new friends if they don’t be social-able.  And when you do talk to them they are either looking for sex or they are not interested in you because they are single and they prefer others to be single as well.  If you are partnered they don’t want to know you and they wonder why you are on the site.  You try to talk to them and they never respond to any of your messages.  

I noticed that after experimenting with how many guys had responded to my replies, which was very little amount.   And those who had responded to my replies are looking for partners and they don’t associate with guys who are partners, because in their minds they think the partnered guys are going behind their partner’s back.  For example:  I was talking to a guy who happens to be single and he did mention in his profile he was looking for friends.  So I wrote to him and we started corresponding back and forth then he mentioned that he wasn’t interested in partners talking to him.  I didn’t think that was a problem by talking to single guys.  But I told him that was fine.  But if that’s the case, then all his friends must be singled guys because he doesn’t want any association with partnered guys.  So in other words they don't have friends who are partners.  I'm just saying.  

What’s the point of having social media on the bear sites if you can’t even socialize with other people? 

Guestbook

The quickest way to chat with someone is by sending them an automatic reply from a guest-list, which the website has provided such as on bearforest there are ones such:  "woof", "hey handsome", "what a fine man".  Even-though it is probably a nice idea, but can lead to a non reply back.

From my experience, I had noticed that many bears do not like those automatic replies so they tend to just say either thank you and move on to the next message or just don't bother replying to it so they end up deleting your message.  They may be appreciated but I'm sure that in their eyes its a waste of time and if you want to chat with a person, start type like a human being and not be lazy about it.

If you are really into that person then you would reply to the person with your own words.  Make time and show the effort that would interest in the guy rather clicking on a reply from the guest-book to save time.  This would show no interest and chances are you will not hear from the person.

You would be amazed how many replies you would get.

Dumbass on bearforest

This guy had contacted me and I had thanked him for viewing my profile and contacting me.  I never talked to this guy before and he is getting the impression that he was in our home.  As some of you know, that my partner and I don't have any friends here in Maine considering that these Maine people are very hard to become friends with as they project themselves as being standoffish.  Since we don't have friends here, I don't understand how this Johnny character could simply say that he was here in our apartment and insinuating that I was being rude, and I made a few things clear to him so he could understand this dialog.  

Okay lets say that he was here, there is nothing stopping him from taking a few steps to sit on the sofa.  I don't know about you guys, but I would sit down depending how long I feel that I was going to stay at someone's house.   

I don't appreciate him coming up to me and start stirring up shit that I have no clue what he is talking about.  Meanwhile, he tells my partner what he wants him to do to him.  Uh, hello?  Doesn't this guy read profiles? Both of my partner and I have "partnered" in our profiles.  How do I know this information what this Johnny character wants my partner to do to him?  Because me and my partner's computers are side to side from one another  in front of the television so we could be able to see each other's computer easily as well as watching the television.

Bear Central in Jeapardy

Before the weekend started BearCentral posted that the past several weeks they had asked to help support the costs to keep bearcentral running. Some bears were pitching in, unfortunately about 69 members on the site had donated. They were going to closed down BearCentral as of today.

They left a message on the site yesterday to let people know that they have been overwhelmed about the respond during the weekend that apparently they have been hearing people saying that they want BearCentral to keep it alive through blog comments and donations.

All of sudden they seem to be on the brighter side, however would it be enough as donations continue so it is a possibility that things could turn out for the better.

BearCentral is still trying to keep the donations coming in to keep the site from shutting down. They had made a suggestion if you wouldl ike to make "a bigger (or smaller)" donation could do so. It also seem that they also thought about someone who is interested in investing or buying BearCentral and to let them know. It just seems that Chris, Walt and Scott are really struggling with the website looking for donations.

Bear Talk Woof's concern is that if these fellow bears are struggling with BearCentral with donations, and all that would lead them to buying BearCentral, would it make any difference if someone else buys the website? Wouldn't the site still be struggling even if it was bought by someone else?  Would that make a difference?  What do you think?
