i use arch btw
(Fact: i used to think arch users have ascended to the linux heaven:tm:. But after installing (WITHOUT archinstall) and using arch and saying it... what now? NixOS aint cutting it and immutable distros are...well...too immutable.)

What do these words mean?
- twink
- twunk
- otter
- side
- J/O
- frot
Twink. A kind of biscuit.
Twunk. It was a biscuit but now it's gone.
Otter. Thing that stole the biscuit.
Side. The biscuit was a side dish.
J/O. Just Otters.
Frot. Forgot.
- Twink - a thin, mostly bodyhairless gay man
- Twunk - a muscly, mostly bodyhairless gay man
- Bear - a hairy, thicker gay man
- Otter - a thinner but still hairy gay man
- J/O - jerk off
- Frot - touching two penises together, usually while j/o with each other
- Top - the person who is topping is the person penetrating
- Bottom - same but is instead the person being penetrated
- Verse - likes being both top and bottom
- Side - I'm less familiar with this one but given the quotes and context I'm assuming this is not a top or a bottom or a verse, but instead is someone less interested in penetration and more interested in body contact and j/o together. *
So he wants a man who's either thin, muscular, or neither, and who's also hairy, hairless, or neither. Sooooo, that's every man
He doesn't mention bears. He says he's looking for a twink or twunk and is an otter himself. So sounds like he wants a hairless guy who's either thin or muscly.
I agree with your observations about the hairy or hairless part, but thin or muscular are not the only 2 body types men can have. You can be fat and not muscular, I heard it's a pretty common body type in America

Side just means no penetration. Usually it means ok with oral, manual and frotting. You can indicate both (vers, side ok) to indicate you don't mind someone who isn't into penetration.
I think the first 2 or 4 have heavy gay culture connotations, but can be adapted to mean any man.

71 is age I presume
Year born, maybe π€
Jokes on him! >50% of guys on there do not bother to read the profile. Instead, their first message is of their junkβ¦followed by three more pics of aforementioned junk and an aggressive opening message. Itβs a great time!
I thought most of Grindr was more or less that expectation. Hey, you're hot, and if you think I'm hot too, let's meet up tonight. Here's a sample.
Something like that.
I'm guessing I'm at least partly wrong?
Youβre totally right.
What I mean is that there are many, many, guys on there that do not even attempt to have a normal conversation. There is no βheyβ or βhowβs it going?β Just 1-4 unsolicited pics of their junk followed by some creepy message like βshow daddy yourβ¦β

This tracks for how a lot of people use the app, but depending on where you are you can also have some fairly normal (for a dating site) conversations with people as well. I spent a couple months on Grindr despite not being interested in hookups, since it's a decent way to meet other trans folk in my area. My inbox was mostly dick pics but I also met some amazing people I'm still with several years later!
It depends. You get all sorts. There very much is a "right now" segment of the population.

Don't forget the very well light, 4k quality picture of their anus that they do not properly clean
Does not have sex; only touches tips and jacks off.
They didnt even have to say they used Linux for everyone to know they used Linux. π
Frottage is more than "touching tips." It includes rubbing the member anywhere on skin.

Are there women on grinder or are there only men?
I think there are a few lesbian alternatives, but you just never hear about them because the public views lesbian hookups as less blasphemous than gay male hookups. Because creepy straight men see lesbian hookups as sexy.
Wait... finding lesbian hookups sexy makes a CIS man creepy?
Can you explain ΓΎe logic there? Does it also apply to all ΓΎe CIS women who find Yaoi hot?

I think I read somewhere that they tried to include lesbians but it wasn't popular or something.
I know some trans women who use it, never met a cis woman who uses it but I think technically the app is advertised towards lgbt people in general.
Strictly an app for gay men so I think a woman would be quite out of place

Wait, is his geographic range three different countries? He would travel internationally for no sex romantic cuddles?
I think that's language options, not geographic range.
He says he lives in Graz, in Austria (where people speak German and there are no kangaroos BTW).
Graz, in Austria where people speak German and there are no kangaroos
Mostly checks out, but going to need confirmation on that last one.

Not all grindr users are linux users. But are all linux users grindr users?
He seems insufferable tbh
The hell is twunk?
Muscular twink
Twink x hunk
Let's hope someone will encounter a girl on Tinder that uses Linux. The more in common, the better.
This comment section makes me feel old.
geek... otter ?
Oh! I know that from a guy from my old work whoβs gay! You know how big, hairy men are called "bear"? Well, an otter is a tall and slim average guy with a beard!
