Gay men, gay, text, cute guys, decoding texts, his messages

This Gay Texting Guide Gives You the Low-Down

June 11, 2014/in For Him, LGBT Dating /by Guest Blogger

Online communication can be a cryptic labyrinth of hidden meanings at times. You can’t see the squinting eyes, the shrugging shoulders, or the nervous sweating—who knows if that tongue-sticking-out emoji is really sincere?
Gay singles have been just as lost as the rest of the world when it comes to decoding the truth behind those digital messages, but now it’s time to come out of the dark!
Here’s a somewhat-serious beginner’s guide to decoding the messages gay men are sending to figure out what they are really trying to say:

The First Message:

He Says:                                                                                         He means:

Grindr, gay, text, message, gay men, texting guide

He Says:                                                                                         He means:

Gay, text, bloods, crips, thug,

Compliments:

He Says:                                                                                         He means:
gay, text, cute guy, sharing photos, pictures, decoding texts, his messages
He Says:                                                                                         He means:
Gay, text, work out, fitness, decoding texts, his messages
He Says:                                                                                         He means:

Gay, text, exes, ex-boyfriends, awkward, decoding texts, his messages He Asks:                                                                                         He means:

He Asks:                                                                                         He means:

Celebrity References:

He Says:                                                                                         He means:
Gay, text, yas gaga, yaaass, body glitter, fabulous, flamboyant, Lady Gaga, decoding texts, his messages
He Says:                                                                                         He means:
gay, text, anderson cooper, silver fox, decoding texts, his messages
He Says:                                                                                         He means:
gay, text, NPH, family, gay marriage, Neil Patrick Harris, David Burtka, decoding texts, his messages

The Next Step:

He Says:                                                                                         He means:
gay, text, dinner, candle light, wine, decoding texts, his messages
Ok, so maybe this guide is a little presumptuous—but if you follow it to the letter you’ll find that it’s right at least 15% of the time. Statistically speaking.
The fact is, even this self-appointed expert doesn’t have all the answers. You’re talking to a real, live, sincere (probably cute) human being, so keep on chatting away and get to really know them.
You’ll find the truth between the text messages.
