First of all, I love gay guys because they are so thoughtful and such gentlemen and just a delight to hang with. So I already love you

Now, my opinion, one of the best parts of FT is the ability for those from different walks of life to get together on a friendly basis with others to share, predominately, an interest in travel.

In the past, I have been one of those, in particular, who found those using FT looking to meet with just specific individuals ala personals.com an affront to this open, friendly concept. What would happen if I got together with someone intent on just hitting on me while I was happily there just to share travel mishaps, adventures and advise?

My innocence would be somewhat crushed and I would feel somewhat violated is what. Definitely on a very small scale, but it all adds up. I would be just that much wary from then on. Again, it all adds up, so anything FTers can do to eliminate this "threat", I have noticed they (and I) do. Including letting any newbies, who don't seem to have caught onto the gist of FT, know exactly how things are.

Obviously, you get it now, why some of us are so touchy. Sorry for the uncomfortable intro.

Can't wait to meet you!
