There's no entrance requirement here at JUB, other than a computer and an internet connection. Being gay, and even owning a penis, isn't a prerequisite. So, naturally, you're going to meet all kinds here.
Even if there were a site like JUM, how would you keep the site "aboveboard"? One comment about Britney Spears and you're out? Ban the use of terms like "OMFG"? Have a book-of-the-month and make the quiz on each a requirement to maintain posting status?
Yes, we've got all kinds here. But that doesn't bother me much. Yes, there are some folks and some groups that I'm not much of a fan of. But I'm the master of my computer - it's easy to stay out of zones and threads that don't interest me, and scroll past posts that I don't care about.
And it's fun here, I think. I've had frivolous conversations about whatnot. I've had indepth discussions about more important and serious issues. I've given advice, gotten advice, laughed, argued and screamed. I'm adaptable. I can discuss politics, ideas and the early works of Herbie Hancock as easily as I can dick size.
Yeah, there might be more "dick size" discussion here than otherwise, but that's not surprising - this is one of the few forums where that's possible. I mean, I can go to my co-workers and say "What do you think about Bush's speech last night?" or "Miles Davis - Kind of Blue, or Bitches Brew?" But I don't see myself saying, "I prefer a larger cock - how about you?"
My advice? Take JUB for what it is. Sometimes fun, sometimes juveline, sometimes intelligent, quite often interesting. Find some people you DO like interacting with. Start a conversation with them offboard, via PM, where nobody will jump in with a "show me your weewee" comment. There's plenty of "quality" and maturity here if you know where to look.
...and yes, I said all that with the cartoon gargoyle staring over his shoulder there.
