Thanks for that, I like to think I’m reasonable too
The honest truth is that I’m here for a few reasons; one being I love the lifestyle. I’ve mentioned my relationship with my ex and enjoy helping and contributing when I can, even if no gay or bi stuff is involved.
The second piece is that many of the “straight” men have at least a curiosity that they do not acknowledge publicly. I have the DM’s to prove that, and it’s fine with me. I’m not here to out anyone. I’ve been with a few guys that present in their fetlife profiles that they are 100% straight, and obviously that number is at best 99%. I haven’t met a guy here yet, but have exchanged DM’s with a few. Some of the best tops in my experience are mostly straight, so I’ve found this as a good place to talk.
As for speaking on behalf of those that are here for malicious reasons; I really couldn’t say. Some guys just get off on it, and that goes for gay straight or anything else. I’ve made several posts here about how I think it’s dumb to try to catfish, because there’s only one logical conclusion. I don’t catfish because guys know where to find me if they are looking.
I really don’t know of many other sites that fit the bill and offer what b2w does, which is why I’m adamant about following the rules here. Grindr and such are just a different thing. If there was a site more geared towards gay men that had an IR focus but still had the ability to speak to open minded woman, I’m game but I don’t think there is.
