I hav quite often had Gay men trying to meet up with me on forums... can't say i really appreciate that!!
Your profile doesn't specify your orientation, so I suspect that this might cause a degree of uncertainty and confusion resulting in you getting hit upon more often. I can't say for sure, but I think that would have to increase the likelihood.

The profile question asking sexual orintation may be part of the problem. It appears to matter to some for good reasons on a socal site but gives others the impression that is what we are about - state your prefrences get into a good old swinging time, show off the kink and the crotches.
First off, Chatter, listing your sexual orientation and having full info does not mean that people will automatically believe you. I have all that and have been harrassed. Second, Spark, while I believe there should be a time frame given for every newbie here to have main profile info listed and to get certified (maybe 30 days would be good) I don't blame the reluctance of some people after all the crap that has gone on with other similar sites to wait on filling it all out with pictures right away. Social networking site like this automatically attract losers by default. It's up to the owner with the help of the members to control it. The natural progression should be: required info filled out, with certification by a certain date, and I think that non paid members should be more restrictred than they are but paid membership should not be required like it is now. I see no problem with answering a legitmate questions to new people with concerns though. If you honestly feel that the question is illegitimate just because it's an emply profile then that is your choice and you don't have to answer.
I am gay, in a relationship, and 64 years old, just what it says on my profile. Not looking for dates or cybersexing, and yet I can't go a night in the chat room without being hit on by "straight" males, always uncertified and rarely pictured in what minimal profiles they have. I've had to change my criteria for accepting "friends". Although the attention helps my ego, I am becoming a bit of a curmudgeon when responding to these people. The upside is that there are many in chat who agree with my not so nice comments and are supportive of me. I guess you have to find that level you're comfortable with and go for it. I don't put on "dressing" when I'm nude, and I won't put on "dressing" in interacting with these fools. I am what I am.
Never had a problem. As long as your profile clearly states your preferences, likes and dislikes no one should have a problem. A lot, if not most profiles, have very little information so if someone 'harrasses' you, you have no one but yourself to blame.
My profile states that I am straight yet I get hit on by men. I find it a bit funny because usually they are being inappropriate on cam when I check because they drew attention to themselves and I simply boot them.
