A straight man's desire to post a photo of himself on a motorcycle on his dating profile *even when explicitly instructed not to* is unconquerable

I have some kind of points system, like three strikes and you're out, and a motorcycle pic is three points by itself. Except for the guy who did some kind of competitive motorcycle skills and had a pic of him negotiating an agility course, that was pretty cool

@vaurora Perhaps Motorcycle Trials? That is a sport that has its roots in wartime motorcycle couriers who learned to avoid roads when carrying dispatches.

Someone into that sport is displaying the discipline to practice precision maneuvers and the willingness to belong to an out-group.

@vaurora Hmmm. I wouldn't put my motorcycle pics on a dating site (not dating but I wouldn't anyway), but does doing an Iron Butt run (Saddlesore) of 1000 miles in 24h count for skills (at least endurance)?

@vaurora Well, I鈥榙 say him posting the picture nevertheless saved you both a lot of time?

(My online dating experience is very outdated, from times when people were generally nice to each other. Don鈥榯 think I鈥榙 dare to start nowadays.馃槍)

@nazgul I have seen zero fish photos in Amsterdam. I think fishing is less common here

@vaurora But... But... Doesn't it signal that I am adventurous, individual and masculine? Are you telling me that all those tobacco and deodorant ads are false too?

@julf nothing is more masculine than being susceptible to advertising!
