Very likely all online dating/hooking sites have such a feature. A button you can click on a person’s profile to express esteem without having to trouble with the actual composition of a message. On Recon it is called cruising someone.
At first the cruising that came my way made sense. The other guy’s profile was in some way complementary to mine. Nothing came of this. The men lived far away and were expressing approval of my profile.
Time passed and I started getting more and more cruises from distant men. Increasingly there was no match. If the profiles too minimal to have meaning or incoherent. One fellow had clearly just banged on the keyboard a few times. It might have been a monkey’s profile.
And some of them would cruise me repeatedly. But it didn’t really feel like the man in France with a profile in French was really trying to get me to write to him. He could’ve written to me.
Eventually a pattern began to emerge. These guys all had galleries. Usually photos of themselves, often more than a hundred. These guys are all attention whores.
This was confirmed for me when I read the profile of a man in Boston who sent me a cruise. It was a nice profile. So I looked at gallery of photos he took of his lover /slave. The next day I got a message from him demanding that I cruise him. After all hadn’t I looked at the photographs he’d put up.
Some of these guys are so diligent they get over a thousand profile views a month. Maybe a few of them are trying to increase the chance they’ll meet a compatible guy.
Some of them are probably men who are Masters or slaves only online. Their only validation in their perceived role is in having their profile and gallery looked at and being virtually cruised.
You can opt out of Recon’s cruise system.
