Nathan Exposed » The Manhunt.net Experiment

How it started:

After reading all the controversy over Manhunt.net and John McCain, I decided to sign up for the free version of a Manhunt account to see what all the fuss was about. Rodney and I both logged on from our own computers to browse the local profiles.

After browsing a few pages, we found ourselves bored with the site. The profiles had no depth, no excitement, just one liners like “Fuck me hard.” It takes a lot more than a picture of your penis to impress me. After all, I do have one of my own. (And Rodney’s my spare.)

Monkey face:

In order to have an account, I was required to upload a picture. So I used a picture of a monkey. Manhunt did not like that.

I posted it 3 times, and each time, they deleted it. I finally gave up, figuring they weren’t going to just accept I was freakishly hairy and really did look like that. So I grabbed a photo from our underwear store and posted it as the profile pic. (Ooh, naughty! Breaking the rules and lying about how I look online.)

The games begin:

Then the flood gates opened. E-mail after e-mail from guys wanting to hook up. This is what my profile said:

“test to see what everyone is so upset about”

That’s literally all there was. No personal details, no listed interests, just that sentence and an underwear photo.

These were some of my favorites e-mails I received:

- “I will bet that everyone’s upset that they haven’t had you!!”
(ha! okay, that was mildly clever, in response to what my profile said)

Another guy asked:

- “Who’s upset? and you interested in playing today?”
(he didn’t understand what my profile meant, but that certainly didn’t deter him)

Then there was the “licensed massage therapist” who wanted to give me a massage, then went on to tell me he had a bubble butt, was uncut and very clean. Hmmm… something tells me “massage” is code for something else… I just wonder what?

Now this one guy didn’t e-mail me, but I just got a laugh out of his profile. He said:

- “up 4 anything, but 215 pounds is the highest i’ll go.”

I was so tempted to ask him how he came up with an odd number like 215. It sounds so precise. I also wanted to ask him if I could get by with 215.5 pounds.

Who says it’s difficult to get some?

I know the internet is never lacking horny men who just want to find a thick dick or warm hole for the night. But I had to admit I was actually surprised at how little information it takes to snag a sex partner in Nashville. I really didn’t expect to receive that many messages simply as a result of posting a phony profile.

Clearly the McCain controversy hasn’t stopped men from using Manhunt’s site. Boys will be boys.

Thanks that clears up the mystery. As to the controversy lets face it. Sex overrules any political affiliations.

I’d have taken the uncut dude and the massage.

You’re right- boys will be boys.

The controversy will pass as soon as hormones take over (and they will for most).

There is no more cotroversy. Manhunt folded like everyone else in the corporate world when someone starts screaming. So now all the little gay boys can hook up in peace knowing that they are supporting a site that is just as close minded as the religious right.
