CHEAT SHEET
☞ Merman

☞ Bartender extraordinaire
☞ Nocturnal risk-taker
☞ Probably snogged your dad
☞ Cryptic!
☞ Respects elders, appreciates older gay wisdom
☞ Mirror performer
Tell me about yourself
You can call me Shark
I consider myself an artist, but lately I’ve been considering myself more a water gypsy, as I’m someone who tends to just go with the flow of things. I’m a very colourful and unique individual with a big heart and a lot of love to give. Most of the time I would say you could find me on the beach or in the water playing mermaids with the corals and fish, but the rest of my time you’ll catch me in my room causing mischief.
I am currently working in a restaurant as a bartender and waiter, providing the cleanest creamiest service I can. I am actually waiting to hear about a potential opportunity in Greece within the month so fingers crossed I’ll be jumping ponds soon
My favourite colours are orange and purple
I’m a curious Gemini
Fried chicken would be my last meal on death row
My spirit animal is a whale shark 🦈🦈🦈
And I’ve kissed your dad
Lucky you!

Let’s jump right in. Pull 3 of these: 🛼 or 🎰 or 🌈 or 📀 or 😈 or 💦 or 🍄 or 🧛 or 🥵 or 🍩 and six numbers between 1 and 100
🥵/ 🧛/ 🎰
Numbers:
10, 25, 44, 21, 69, 88
Can I change 69 to 96?
Sure. Game on! Quick personality assessment based on your choices: 🥵/ 🧛/ 🎰 Lustful, cryptic and emotionally intense. Your energy is magnetic yet unpredictable, with a touch of the nocturnal and mysterious. You’re drawn to risks and chances, balancing between thoughtful depth and impulsive heat. Accurate?
Yeah 😅
Do you think good cock is a birthright or a skill?
I would say both here. I mean, it’s a skill for sure, practice makes perfect or don’t knock it till you try it right? But it can be a birthright. Some are just blessed and know what’s up
So then practice made you perfect… Do you sleep with the window open or closed?
Open. I like to listen to what’s happening outside. I believe it influences my dreams (as most of my dreams occur outside)
What’s your worst habit, and do you secretly love it?
Nail biting, and no I hate it
Are you anxious?
I used to be, but I don’t think I am anymore. It’s just been a bad habit I brought through from my child life
Do you prefer your lovers polite or a bit filthy-mouthed?
Filthy mouthed
Have you ever needed to excuse yourself from a dinner/drinks just to go masturbate?
Never, I’d rather let imagination edge me. I’d rather hold it and torture myself
What kind of first impression do you think you give off?
I’ve been told I’m intimidating and hard to read but I would say sweet but salty
Hmmm. Love that. Can you describe your first time… watching porn?
I think it was when I was 13 or 12, I was at a sleepover and we just finished watching “American Pie”. And my friend thought we should search some shit and watch one or two videos. I remember being aroused but frustrated as nothing could come about it… I had never thought about jerking off at that stage. So it was just a really eye opening experience.
Did you like it? Or was it too much for your juvenile brain?
I liked it, but it was a bit much to comprehend. I remember sleeping badly that night
Love the honesty. Have you ever sucked off a straight guy?
I don’t think I have, no
Not even by accident!?
Maybe a Bi-guy. But yeah honestly, everyone’s been open about their sexuality that I’ve hooked up with
Do you ever let your “mind wander too far” in the shower?
Sure I have. Don’t most?
I’m sure we all do. When was the last time you did something reckless but fun?
Early Feb this year. Uhm, I met these two girls I was serving at work, and told them my shift was over and we ended up going to another bar together and they gave me some offerings which I thought why not. And yeah. Stayed up till 3 just chatting and partying with them. I Think the offering made it reckless which is what made me classify it as the most recent.
I’m sure you’ve made more reckless life choices, but let’s stick to the most recent… What’s your preferred method of flirting? (Eye contact, memes, blunt force, honesty?)
Eye contact and harmless hinting
Ah I get it… cryptic. Do you think cruising is dying or just mutating? And are you into it?
For sure into it, love it. I think it’s dying, I don’t think a lot of boys my age are really into it, that’s why I think it’s mutated. But it’s for better and for worse in my eyes… The art of cruising is apparent in the age of the 30+ I would say. Can push to mid 20’s. The young generation is missing out.
Do you have an irrational fear? And what is it?
I think the fear of losing my eyesight after my last unknown blink?
I think cum in the eye is way more likely to cause blindness. But hey…
Haha good thing I prefer my pearls on my neck
SASSY! Finally: What’s your relationship to mirrors? Love them or avoid them?
Mirrors are my favourite object! always been fascinated by them growing up.
Was never one for looking at myself in the mirror growing up because I believed what my bullies said about being ugly and fat, so I strayed away.
However I still loved them. Their ability to reflect, and show a different perspective. Or the ability to show what’s really being presented if one’s mind opens up to it.
I learned recently, well a few years ago, that Gemini’s are also considered mirrors, as they are able to mutate or adjust what is in front of them, and I resonate with that.
But honestly the mirror is the place where I can get the viewpoint I want, to come across – idk if that makes sense. But I also don’t think people always take photos how I’d want them to be done. So it’s a practice space. And a performance space.
But on a deeper level, it’s where my ability to feel sexy comes alive. Or a place where I can feel sexy and accept my body for what it is, and embrace it.
A metaphor for helping me love myself
Or maybe not a metaphor
A symbol? A sign? The IT girl object?
