I'm with you, koko. Speaking as a happily buddied-up homo who went through hell, high water, and three of the four horsemen of the apocalypse to get here, I've had more than my fill (um, literally) of feckless gays who revel in the thrill of the meeting and suck (um, figuratively) at the follow-through.

I sure as hell wouldn't have walked away from Plane Dude and then bragged about it.

Still keeping up the hopes of meeting another better, smarter, richer, more well-endowed, prettier man in a greener, better-smelling pasture. Typical homo.

Which I think is the point-to show varied aspects of the male gay love/dating scene...the pretty, the bad, the closeted or the ugly etc etc..

BTW: If this really is a "contest," then I vote for TGR's. This is like the Mitt Romney of Gay Modern Love Essays.

Everyone became a label and a symbol. He still wonders why he is now late 40-something and single.

Insert finger. Gag.
