I keep running into creepers on hiking trails.

I have a pretty good gaydar and I didn't get the vibe.

Yeah, it's mostly this:

I think it's the eyebrows dude. Judging by the other pic it looks like you pluck them or something. Plus you have innocent dreamy looking eyes like a child who just saw the twinkling stars in the night sky for the first time haha.

The facial expression ('innocent dreamy eyes') is probably just the picture, but the eyebrows look like they "got done", and young inner-city latinos are the only demographic I can think of where I've seen eyebrow tweezing be a thing for straight males. (OP: your eyebrows look fab whether you get 'em done or they're natural!).

The first picture he has a super-short beard that probalby just means this picture was taken right as he decided to grow it, but could also look he buzzes his beard that way, which contributes to the general vibe that he pays more attention to grooming himself (which is a good thing!) the way gay men are more naturally inclined to do.

Aaaaaaaanywayyy, back to our scheduled programming...

If y'all want to get unnecessarily freaked out by gay cruising, Al Pacino and the director of The Exorcist made a thriller around it (many would say exploited it) in the 70s:

This guy was actually ok. He was this huge guy. When he started rubbing my shoulders I shot up like 10 feet in the air. I told him I wasn't into that and he was like all right man you said your peace. Then he left. Here is a pic of myself.

The guy that followed me in the car was definitely the worse. Who does that?

You're actually pretty cute OP, no need to put yourself down.

The guy who was stalking you should've been arrested. The other guy, while still violating your space, might have confused the situation, but stalker needed a good dose of pepper spray.
 
Holy shit I just googled cruising and my area, there's a site with trails around me, and fast food/store toilet listings with fucking ratings and descriptions. What the fuck is this?!


Kinda makes me wonder what kind of other seedy shit goes down that we have no clue about.

There's a site for this?

Morbid curiosity rising

Incognito tab opening...

Edit didn't find anything in my city, not on a map at least. Not even a gloryhole!
 
That one guy was definitely going to kill you, no one chases after you like that


Either that or he was an awful private investigator and you have some sort of insurance claim out
 
speaking of creepers, I felt like I was this major creeper the other day. I was going to meet some friends further up along the trail and there were these two college students ahead of me. I was in an introverted mood and didn't really want to risk talking them by picking up the pace and passing. So I kept my distance and followed them along the trail for several miles until they bolted off into the woods to loose me.
 
Just remember OP if your hear either swiggity and/or swoogty then they are most likely coming from that booty.

Lol I always feel like a creeper whenever I'm behind someone. And like you whenever I feel like when I want to go faster to pass them I'm afraid I'll send the wrong signals and that I'm after them or something. So I just look down at my phone and read GAF til its over ;__;

Also may I ask how gloryholes are supposed to work, like won't someone working there notice the hole and and like notifyy someone like
 
Carry pepper spray with you.

Whenever I do trails, I bring a pocket knife or keep a fixed blade on the side of my bag for larger trips. If needed, it can be a deterrent. I just hope I'll never have to use it on anyone.

There are definite problems with creepers and strange people on trails. I've run into homeless guys and hermits who have begged me for food, and this was like 10/4 miles from the trail head in the wilderness.

You're already at risk by being out in the area, so it's a shame you have to worry about people like that. Good resilience, though. I would have struck back if in that situation.

Try hiking with friends as well.
 
9 out of 10 these men are not openly/self-accepting gay men. Those are using apps to hook up.

The ones who cruise in public are usually closeted 'straight' men (who probably has a wife) or bicurious people who don't want their face plastered in hook-up apps.
This was how rest stop sex started in the '50s. Combo of closeted/bearded men and guys who weren't actively turned off by other guys and just wanted to get off w/o risking pregnancy and another kid.

Gloryholes exist outside of private residences, bathhouses and adult "bookstores"?

And why does the first result for "Glory Holes Las Vegas" send me to a Yelp page with "Glory Holes" as a search query in the little search box? So many mysterys. (And I think I answered my first question with the Yelp results.)


Required viewing for the OP



And man I wish I was Gay and had one of these "spots" next to me. Sounds hot as fuck.

He's already seen it. I'm guessing he just didn't think this stuff happened in real life. Or, more likely, if you're straight and a man is interested in you, you don't necessarily recognize it immediately. Hell, my asocial butt probably wouldn't know what was going on until I went home.
 
They probably watch so much porn it has distorted their sense of reality.

My wife and I go on walks on a trail by our house.

Yes, all the time.

But people walking their dogs without a leash bother me more.
"Oh he's a really nice dog, he wouldn't bite anyone."

I don't care if you think your dog is nice. Put it on a leash.
 
Are you a boy or a girl? Lol. One time some guy groped my ass at the bar when my fiancee was with me.

Edit: I see now, you are a cutie but no one had the right to start touching you or stalk you. You need to bring a friend with you.
 
OP is a dreamboat so I see why he's being approached. No excuse for that guy following in his car - wtf at that business? You start start following a stranger in your car without having said a word to them. Fucking psycho. I think in that instance you were right to be scared.

Just because someone is hot doesn't mean you can just "approach" them. It's rude.
 
I didn't know cruising still existed in the post-Grindr age. I would figure it would just be out of touch old dudes. But maybe I'm the one out of touch?
 
i had no idea there were gay cruising spots in the woods. seems antiquated. why not just use grindr or splurtr or squirtr or whatever app

I bet the woods is probably more old school, more of a random chance thing and a lot more direct with selection being less of a focus. I could see there being a market for the woods.

Honestly the latter sounds like creepy stalker or guy thought he was there for a drug deal.
 
I've only had one weird encounter like this while hiking. A place that used to be called Seashore State Park, some new name now, on trails close to the beach. Some guy just seemed to appear next to me and started being super friendly and complimenting. I kept trying to end the conversation but he wouldn't stop. It wasn't until I caught up with my friends that he finally just sort of trailed behind and then vanished back into the woods.
 
These websites sound despicable. Can someone forward these websites to me so that I can block these websites?
