If You Live In Houston, You're Probably a Bottom.

On the lighter side of the news today.........




If You Live In Houston, You're Probably a Bottom.

So say statistics, anyway! Gayblog TheSword recently compiled some Craigslist data (c'mon, it's Craigslist. I know you queens are going to question the validity of the data. Chill out. It's taken from Craigslist for crying out loud. ), and figured out that when men are looking online to do sex with other men, certain cities trend heavily toward the receiving end. Chief among them is Houston—where 70% of folks are looking to fill the void.

Yes of the ten cities surveyed, only three, in fact, had a higher ratio of tops to bottoms, and even then the numbers were almost even. But Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and (surprise surprise) San Francisco, all seem rife with untended bottoms all reaching out across the cyber tundra, hoping to find some fleeting relief.

New York, of course, had the highest percentage of tops seeking companionship, because it's just that kinda town, I guess.

So it's my Houston origins that give me my inclinations toward bottoming? Fascinating

May 28, 2009 9:12 PM GMT

So it's my hometown that made me a big ol' girl, huh? I always thought it was the Marines. Anyone will tell ya, Marines are all bottoms. Sexualize the pain, baby!!!

Houston. We have a problem.


I think it has to do with the water, BTW.
May 28, 2009 9:25 PM GMT
I apparently got lucky then, with a mere 20-some percent of tops when I met my late partner in Houston. I had only recently gotten into bottoming, taking a break from topping, he filled the bill (or Tom) nicely.

DC has more tops than bottoms? I used to live there, and methinks this survey is, um, off just a bit...
May 28, 2009 9:26 PM GMT
And down in Oz, it's the Sydney queens who have the reputation for being shallow and frivolous, certainly on the bottom.

lol. i don't think craigslist is a very good source for statistical data. I guess it's the best source available but I wouldn't rely so much on these numbers.
May 28, 2009 9:43 PM GMT
No worries...just go online where everyone is a "top". (*wink wink*)

Finally some data! :-)

I would be very interested to see a study done of uncut guys vs cut guys and their "role" as top or bottom.

My suspicion is that there are quite a few more cut bottoms than there are uncut bottoms.

I live in Miami, and maybe I'm just asking the wrong people, but EVERYONE I try to get to know, is a top. So I donno about that survey.

So my match is probably waiting for me in New York...

Oh I need to move to Houston or Miami or San Fran.

My whole future happiness is predicated on the stereotype that muscle guys are bottoms

hmmmmm is that really a sterotyps?

I question the reliability of the database.
These are people posting on Craigslist. What does that tell you about their social skills? That they couldn't connect in real life even in a notoriously easy town? Hardly a good statistical sample.

I live in LA. Maybe all of my bottom buddies have been right all a long. It is tougher for them to get laid.

I'm forwarding this one to everyone I know. Bogus or not, stats like these make for great conversation.

I don't think the DC one is correct. I think most are big ol' bottoms like me

Tapper said Bogus or not, stats like these make for great conversation.

The more bogus they are known to be, the more thrilled people are to transmit them.

Well, that latino guys seem to all be tops here in Miami... the American white guys seem to be mostly bottoms...

Maybe you were going after Latino guys?

Oh, for god's sake, this is NOT a database, it's NOT research, it's NOT a survey, it's merely anecdotal information culled from a self-selected group.

Some of you guys are acting like all numbers are real - they're NOT. This is NOT research. Repeat after me - "THIS IS NOT RESEARCH!!". It's likely to be no better or worse than the horoscope in your local paper.

Okay, I feel better now.

I bloody hate statistics like this. There is a lot more in this little chart than meets the eye. I have a friend who is doing similar work in Michigan and he's finding very different trends. His trends are saying that people are advertising bottoming more when they are younger.

So New York, you aren't full of tops. Just old men.

If you want to use statistics you have to hold some things standard. That's why this sort of stuff pisses me off.
