    I’m usually pretty gutter brained, but this one took me a second.

    Honestly I think unless someone is gay thee generals public are going to just read it as MAMABEAR.

            True. Pretty used to considering all gender and sexuality as spectra, where labels can feel arbitrary. But if someone thinks of it as gay, I accept the compliment.

      I could see myself reading it either way depending on the layout. At least in my state, license plates have a space between the first 3 letters and the last four, so “M4M” would look a lot more like “M4F” and “F4M”, which also seem commonly used, so its not like the notation is unique to gay people. And “bear” and “twink” are both pretty commonly understood.

        I’m a wolf that indulges in sweets and general over-eating… often. Chubby wolves can be bears, too :P

        So there is some niche use of some phrase? How is that relevant? There are SO many niche things.

          Just because YOU missed it doesn’t make it niche

              Really? I’m a midwestern cishet middle aged dude and I got it right away… maybe I spend too much time on mastodon.

              [M/F]4[Descriptor] has been used for hookups online for at least 30 years, definitely not niche.
